If the enemy planned his descent on these helpless craft for its psychological effect he certainly achieved his aim, hut the effect was the opposite from what he sought. Instead of being intimidated by the sinking of many of their vessels, the salty mariners of Gloucester and this is true of other parts as well have set their teeth anil oy word and act have shown their determination to continue "business as In the period covered hy the raid, from July 22 to August 2fi, twenty-nine fishing vessels were sunk hy the Germans, some hy shcllfirc, others hy bombs, and at least one, according to its captain, hy a torpedo.

A part of the Hoot was sent to the bottom by the trawler Triumph, which was seized by a German submarine and provided with the crew and armaent. The fishing craft ranged in size from the tiny Reliance, of 19 tons, one of the swordfishormen sunk on the Georges Mank, to the Eric, of 6(111 tons, sent down south of the Island of Miquelon, far to the northeast of New England waters. Most of them were of American registry, chiefly owned in Gloucester or Boston, but a few bailed from Canadian and Newfoundland ports, principally Luneburg, N. S. THIS IS THE "MOTHER'S LOAN" He is a member of the British Commission to this country, and he was commenting on the achievements of America in France.

"When the full story is told, it will be one of the most inspiring records of he said. "No one who has not been there can imagine it. The port where your troops land has been transformed as if by a miracle. (Jreat piers stretch out Into the harbor; lines of railroad, laid with American rails by American engineers and traveled ly American locomotives, stretch away toward the battle Huge storehouses cover the adjoining acres for miles. I tell you, it is marvelous what you have accomplished!" And then he added, in afterthought: "You are pouring out your money as if it didn't cost anything." Pouring out money as if it didn't cost anything that is our record in the war thus far.

Our first year cost us billions more than the first year of any other nation. And now we are asked to raise in three weeks the largest loan ever subscribed by the people of any nation. We are running this war in the most extravagant fashion; and there is not a man, woman or child in America who wants it conducted in any other way. Why? Because we value speed more than money; and speed Is always extravagant. Speed means more guns brought more quickly into play, and more ammunition to feed them.

Speed means ships built fit high cost becaus of overtime wages; it means airplane plans discarded as fast as new improvements come along. It means all this and we bear the cost of it gladly, without regret. For Speed means a quicker, surer Victory and our boys earlier home again. "I beat the Austrians because they did not know the value of five minutes," said Napoleon. His rule for victory was to be on the ground first with the most guns.

"I owe all my success in file to having been a quarter of an houf before my lime," Lord Nelson once remarked. His victories, too, were victories of speed. The cry of every American woman to her Government today should be "Spend money faster." Every ounce of-her thought and energy dur-in the three weeks dedicated to the 4th Liberty Loan should be employed in arousing in her own household and the households of her neighbors an eagerness to lend every possible penny and to lend it quickly. We are raising a greater fund than men or women have ever raised. We are raising it in three weeks, when smaller loans have taken four.

Money is nothing to us we sacrifice it gladly for the sake of speed. For the sake of a quicker victory, and the return of our boys to their homes." In the spirit of that message let us face the greatest loan in history: a loan too large to be subscribed by banks and business houses so large that it must come out of the little economies of women. A Mother's Loan a cry from the heart of American womanhood for Speed.

So politics reassembled: "And," says the common voter, says he to himself, softly like and under his breath: "Who is this man Wilson, which he would win the And then History she fumbles over her pages and she remarks "Him? Oh, he's the gentleman whom Congress has been endowing with more power than is given to any other ruler on earth not even to the Kaiser himself." "Well, well" replies the average man recalling recent events "well ain't it the truth; and who is this Congress which went ahead and done all this?" Again History turns to her big book and says she, "Congress is the representatives of the people, all the people, Republicans and Democrats, and in giving the President all this power, which it is a good thing to give him in war-time for war is no debating society. Republicans voted just as strong as Democrats.

They voted in a larger proportion for the war than the Democrats, so far as that goes, and they voted stronger man for man for conscription than the Democrats. But let that pass; that was the accident of geography. says History, says she, "in the matter of winning this war the Republicans gave the President just as much power to win it as the Democrats, which shows they really adjourn-I nd politics and didn't just give it a ten minutes recess in order to drum up a majority." That was What History said them very words and she never smiled when she said it. "So," thunders Logic, "now that you have giv- on the President all this power, this tremendous unprecedented power, why Hot safeguard that power? why not surround the President with a Republican Congress? The Republicans upheld Him in the war; the. Republicans cooperated to give him all the power.

Powed unrestrained is bad for any man. Power under control and with the consent of the governed is the essence of democracy.

Attention! This is to remind you to report at the Court House on Friday evening at G.45, prompt. Scoutmaster Somewhere In England September, 1918 Hon. E. D. Stratford El Dorado, Kansas Dear Judge Stratford: Events have moved very rapidly for me during the last few months.

Going originally to Camp Funston, 1 wns very soon transferred to Camp Dodge, Iowa, where intensive training was my lot for a few weeks. From there I was taken to Camp Mills, New York. Then after a brief period I found myself in romatic old England. So much of my time and energy are taken up with duties of the embryo soldier that it has been utterly impossible for me to devote any considerable amount of time to correspondence. However, on this perfect Sunday morning I am trying to hurriedly write a number of letters to friends overseas.

I hope to write each one of the lawyers who so kindly signed the resolution in approval of my candidacy for a second term for the of fice of County Attorney. I wish to thank you very much for your assistance in this regard. I have not yet received official notification, of my nomination. But just before leaving Camp Mills I received a letter from the County Commissioners congratulating me on my success, and although it was sent August 8th I assume that the result of the primary was then known beyond question. Nothing ould please me more than DOLLAR SALE OF JAPANESE If THE MOST REMARK AHI.E SALE OK ITS KIND WE HAVE EVER HEI.D jagajjgL i 5l kf' Nearly 2000 hand-miido, hand lacquered, hiiml-t-mimclcd liiiniboo and Japanese Cultivated Willow, Product of the Japanese Industrial Hai-kct School at FfVj mil Kyoto.

I would never be satisfied there, however, until the job wc have over here is finished- Apparently it will take a number of months yet. But the end appears to be in sight. The tol-lapse of the German war machine is inevitable. It occurs to me, however. that there must be no slackening of effort but rather an accentuation of effort at home.
