Wherever they have failed to stop the Hun, he has snatched babes from mothers’ arms and slaughtered them. Only day before yesterday did his guns pour death into a maternity hospital. The Hun must be stopped, or American mothers, cap will know the worried look of the Belgian. Stop the Hun with Liberty bonds. Stop him with thrift stamps. ‘These are the weapons those of us who remain on this side of the water must use, so that those on the other side may stop them with guns. Today is the last day of Honor week. Seattle has not yet gone over the top in its Liberty Loan quota, as Portland has already done. Are we going to lag?
