GAINST PELF There will be vast organizations of salesmen and speakers and writers at work on loan propaganda, but no official wiil order the performance of such service. Actors and artists will give t-h+ir time nnrl talent* to further the sale of Liberty Bonds, not because th-y have to, but because they deem such service a privilege. This sharp contrast in the methods of obtaining money to carry on the war is the best possible illustration of the difference between the ideas and aims of Germany and America in this great war. "The best propaganda will be Hindenburg's saber, which will continue to win victories," remarks one of the German papers, in telling about the plans for their new bond issue. This country believes the best propaganda will be the love of country and the desire to have its conceptions of national principles survive. With the Teutons the victory is the end sought, for victory would mean power and loot?the imposition of their might on others, and the collection of vast trade advantages and tremendous indemnities. With us victory will be merely a means to an end ?the demonstration, once for all, that free people have a right to remain free to pursue their destinies according to their ideals, v/ithout the danger of aggression by some greedy neighbor. On that basis the war becomes a battle rtf nrJnrinle afainst celf. The German people arc fighting because a ruling class decreed that they must. V/e are fighting because we saw it had become necess3ry to defend democracy lest it perish. In such a fight they will give what they have to, We will give all we have, if necessary to make right win. With that spirit in us, there can be no question about the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan or about the ultimate success of the men in khaki Over There. D REIGN-BORN FIGHTERS hood they were called to don a uniform to fight for the preservation of democracy and the Stars and Stripes. Barely familiar with our institutions and still feeling that they were considered as aliens, strangers in a strange land, they have been placed in army camps throughout the country, where their lot has often been a hard one. It was impossible to put them in the best companies, as they could not learn quickly, otying to the handicap cf language and education. Many of them were only able to do laborer service, end that they were giver aplenty. Because a man was born in the Appennircs and not the Alleghanies in Poland and not Pennsylvania, because he dots not understand English but may speak another language perfectly, because he may never have heard cf Grover Cleveland Alexander but knows the poems of Pushkin by heart, because he is not familiar wi'h ^he commonplaces of American life but has seen much mote of the wcric than most of us, is no reason why he should be treated with disdain by some native-born son of Uncle Sam and called a "wop" or a "dago," a "squarehead" or a "bohunk." Most of us in uniform who use these derisive terms do not stop to think how they hurt, .as the native-born American is hardened to chaff and does not mind heme called a "red ippniipnpHHHl IND CAMP head," a "dough-head" or even a "greenhorn." It is characteristic of us to bandy such words in fun. The foreign-born American, who did not spend his boyhood in a New Hampshire hill town and enjoy the old swimmin' hole, does not .understand such talk, and when he is greeted by a slang word denoting his nationality or race he is cut to the quick. He ia just as much a man as the rest of us, often more highstrung and more sensitive. There is often more foundation back of the resentment of the foreign-born soldier. Because he is so often handicapped and cannot learn as quickly as the rest of us, we frequently make the serious mistake of thinking that he ifl not as intelligent as we are. It has been found that a bulldozing sergeant I recently cast the most biting renecI tions on the mental capabilities of a man whom he called a "square-head," although the object of his derision knew six languages and had taken post-graduate courses in a European university. Intellectually, the "noncom" was not in the same class with the "square-head." Any American who casts reflection on the Pole, the Bohemian or the Italian knows little of the history ol those peoples nor of his own country He probably does not .know that Washington's adjutant was a Pole, born and bred, upon whom Congress by a special act during the Revolution, conferred the rank of brigadier-general, full citizenship'and a large grant of land. In all history there are few victories to compare with that of Johr Sobioski, who, with only 3,000 men, defeated 60,000 Turks and turned back the Ottoman tide that threatened tc inundate the whole of Europe. Johr was a "squarehead." We sometimes forget that an Italian discovered America, another invented the wireless, and under th< leadership of Napoleon the forefathers of our present Allies won most brfl WHEN ABOU When you get to an Embarkation Port keep a sharp lookout for "Going Over," the new Embarkation Newspaper published exclusively for th< men sailing for France.

"Liberty Bonds IViU Steer liant victories against the Austrian*. AO American lover* of liberty would find pleasure in reading the lire* of Garibaldi and Cavoor. Some day we 5 may have the equal of Dante or Michaelangelo, but we Americans can search our history in vain for such now. - jjH Paget might be written about the ' victories and triumphs of all the nationalities about which some of us speak in derision. When we do so seriously we only reflect on ourselves. That in itself is not important. It is i only when our actions directly inter- ; fere with our military effectiveness that they cause real concern. ? Every time a foreign-born soldier is insulted / with derisive epithets he becomes more of an alien than'ever, less enthusiastic about fighting for the people who deride him, and more than ever willing to listen to those who would use him for a tool in causing trouble. The foreign-born soldier in our army can be made a great asset or a great ... liability. He can fight as well as any man if he is given proper opportunity for training and is made to feel that he 3*0 can enjoy the fruits of victory with the rest of us. To fail to understand and get along with the man born in another country is to be narrow and provincial. The same ideas of liberty, the same aspira1 tions for justice and the development of democracy beats in the heart of the ? Pole, the Jugo-Slav, the Scandinavian, : the Armenian, the Italian and the r Greek as in our own. We are fighting ' to make the world safe for democracy, the liberation of small nations and an i equal opportunity for all men. \ > In our army are men who come 1 from small oppressed nations and from almost every corner of the"earth. It is a denial of all that we seek in fighting to make them feel like despised stran; gers in a strange land. Most of all, it i makes the army as a whole less united, ' less efficient, less powerful. r TO EMBARK i OlficeraTof the army and officials In * ; civil life are writing "stuff" for this newspaper which is brand new and ? chockful of real Information about t t details of the Iifo "Over There."
