Nobody has yet charged the kaiser with ever having .ordered his hench-. men to tell the "iruth." The German equivalent for that word is not the Potsdam dictionary. -. . It is .said the German Crown prince fired some of the shots at Paris from the long range grins. Wonder if he prides himself on the . number of wo men and children he killed? It is much better voluntarily to eat corn bread now and send wheat to France than after awhile to be glad to get corn bread, because all the wheat . has been commandeered to feed the people in Germany. We can't understand why the kaiser should want twot hundred mil lion v dollars for building merchant ships. There is nowhere he can sail them now and he won't have any use for them after the War. . German statisticians prace their country's War casualties at five mil lion. That is a fearful loss; but many of the kaiser's subjects will think it a moderate price to pay for getting" rid of him and the Hohenzol lem breed.

The fact that tike people of this country so : liberally subscribed to the government, loan Is glibject for rejoicing, but there is a featuro of the bond - subscription drive that is more gratifying than Were the large over subscriptions, and that is the manner in which the subscription was made the way the people went to work to make it a grand success. Speaking of this feature of the cam paign the New York Times says: "Therfe were myriads of volunteer workers for the loan, tney were everywhere active, nobody could es cape or wanted to escape their solic itations. Every one of them was an agent of the government, serving the government from the highest of all CANT SEE THE JOKE.

It is Of good augury when the people of a nation take that at titude toward their government." And the result Of the labor off these voluntary agents of the government in this patriotic Work is that millions Of dollars worth of these bonds have gone into the hands of people all over the country, making . them financially interested lnt their government and the' cause for which the loan was sought. These millions of people feel more than ever before that it is their government-" a government . which not only protects them in life, liberty, and property, but one which they are helping to sustain m a serious crisis. From being only beneficiaries of the government they have bocome bene factors. This extensive popular sub scription , shows that , the people feel that the government is theirs to sus tain and fortify against threatened danger. , it is far better that four billion dollars, or even three billion ahouli have been- subscribed as this loan aken up than that a much sum should have been loaned the government by a much mailer number of financiers and wealthy men of the country. It has given much greater Strength to the govern ment than a' subscription of the lat ter kind .would have done. It was no tlce to Kaiser William that the Amer ican people are heartily supporting the administration in all its war measures. Now that the liberty bond sub scription has been so successfully brought to a close the, people should - turn, their attention to the war sav ings stamps : acid thrift certificates.

A repetition of history may occur In northern Italy during this spring's It was a surprise to everybody in America except a few officials to learn that troops from this country were on the Italian front. We are Inclined, however, to doubt the truth of the report, which came by way of Berlin. The Italian campaign is about to be renewed.

There are thousands of people In thiB state who were not able to buy even a single fifty dollar bond, but can invest quarter dollars in these certificates. These investments . can be made periodically without the ex pense being felt by the purchasers. It is as much the patriotic duty of the people to invest their quarters and dollars' in these stamps and cer tiflcates as it was to put their money in the government's fifty and' -one hundred dollar bonds. If the people would do their duty In this respect an immense sum would be realized therefrom by the government. The people of North Carolina are not doing their duty .In purchosing these stamps.

If you wont, go nun- gryl" t 4 "You are too pretty to get along in an Off fee," I thought as I looked at the lovely face on which hard work and privation had not as yet -left -any im press. Only the little .hands told of her life in the village boarding honse. They were red and roughened with work. : it: was: the same story t had heard several times since I had been working as a stenographer in New York. I al ways felt a certain contempt for the girl who had been discharged for that reasoq; who owned that the boss "pes tered" her. But as I looked at the tiny, golden-haired girl perched like' a sparrow on. the bed, I wondered if I had not been-hard on such girls. I was plain, almost homely as compared with Betty Coanersj yet I, too, in the be ginning had been unable to avoid all unpleasant experiences. "It ain't that I'm fussy," she went on; "I ain't one bit But If I dont work for no $6 a week, even if I don't know much, and then let the boss get fresh with me. God knows I wanted them dinners. I guess he is the only one who knows how bad I did want them, and he don't care much. He aint never cared much for me, it seems. I aint had a regular meal since I left Miss Boomer's hash house. I wouldn't have had many there if I hadn't snitch ed things offn the boarders' plates be tween the kitchin and the dinln' room. Oh, it was funny to hear them kick about the 'small portions!

But it's worth going hungry Just to have you around. I haven't laughed so much since I left home as since yon have been here," Carrie told' her. "Go on, Betty, tell us all about it," I said. I really had become fond of the girl, and, like Carrie, I was willing to help her all I could even if I had to go without my fall suit to do it.

WASHINGTON CATLETT, County Superintendent Wilmington, May 9, 1918. LET THE CHURCH BELLS RING. To the Editor Of The Dispatch: Philadelphia, the city of brotherly ii wciiiiucin. Biuuag iae largest American cities by its historical lead in its adoption. of the declaration of independence, has again recently set another worthy example for the rest of the country.' Responding appreciably to a sug gestion made by one of its leading pa pers, the pastors of the various churches have, on last Monday at "12 a. m., causel the chimes- ot their re spective churches to ring out a soul stirrihg call to all patriots to pause and pray. The chimes Of the Holv Trinity at Rittenhouse Square graced the ears of the masses around adinin- ing streets to the tunes of' the na tional anthem, while men on public squares stood silently for a few mo ments with heads ncrivered, and women within their homos ceased all activities in reverence and solemnity. Practically all manual labor for the time being was discontinued and every workman laid down his tools that he may : raise his thoughts to heaven and pray for guidance to Our president and his cabinet, ask tor moral and physical courage for our boys at the front, and for enthusiasm. efficiency and endurance for the peo ple at nome. This movement bids fair to become a national one, as it will most likely be adopted by one city after another until the entire country Is covered. Usually speaking, every movement of public concern, every suggestion, and every question revolves around two or more sides. But the sueaes tion herein advanced cannot possibly have but one side, and that is the side of approval and unanimity by tne American masses. If this sten is good enough for Philadelphia, surely it is good enough for Wilmington.
