WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
r ' -
S/-" .
The people of this state are to be
asked within the next few N days to
/ subscribe to our pro-rata share of
the War Savings Stamps. The Wai
Savings Stamns as we have at
tempted to show heretofore are the
\ v government promises to pay for
small investors. The stamps may be
bought outright for four dollars and
seventeen cents, during this month.
They are payable on January 1st,
1923, the value at that time being
five dollars each. The difference between
the purchase price and the
value at the time of redemption
represents the accumulated interest.
The stamps are as good as LibI'
\ erty Bonds. They are better in
JRany respects because they carry
with them privileges that the bondB
do not carry. They are offered the
people of the country, and are be\j
ing offered to the people of this
county, .for the reason that they offer
a chance for every person to
become a creditor of the government
and thus an interested citizen
in the enterprises of the government
looking towards the winning
of the war.
' These stamps offer a better in/
vestment than Savings Banks or any
other institution of like kind. The
interest paid is about as much, and
the promise to redeem them is the
promise of the government itself
t rather than the promise of a bank
jng nwtitution. )r^j,
Hie people here at Kome roust
prepare to do their part. The Lib*
. orty Bonds have been sold. They
< .have been purchased by people -with
* . more means than the average citizen
possesses, that is the greater 'proportion
of them have been so parchased,
though many men of small
means purchased these bonds. But
the stamps now being offered by
the government are in ready reach
of every man who has as much as
five dollars to invest Because the
i ' Liberty Bonds have been purchased
by people with more mean? than
most of us possess, it becomes the
.duty of the average citizen in all
sections of the county to buy of
these smaller obligations of the government
all that he is able.
We are apt to feel that a good
many calls are being made on us
at this time for the support of the
government. But let us not forget
that what we are asked to do is for
the benefit of our own government,
which means ourselves. The Hun
has brought the war *to our own
doors, and we are but defending
ourselves when we assist the government.
We are not helping others
and we are not contributing to
eharity. ; ,, . ;,.4
' The men in the army and the
mw are called on every day to
- make sacrifices. Our soldiers today
are on the fighting lines in France
engaged on some of the bloodiest
fields in that war-ridden country.
They fight every day. They may
not say that they will not fight tov
day because they fought on yesterday.
Neither does the Hun find a
day convenient to our men to make
his attackf.'. Therefore, if we be as
patriotic as those who have gone
over, no, we cannot be that, but ii
we are to support the governmenl
and defend ourselves, we too musl
be prepared to fight every day. Wt
; may not select the time, nor th(
amount which we will give nor invest,
any more than the soldier ii
allowed to select the season wher
UA T*TV>on /tailor
ne snaii n^uu juc nguvo nu^u
on, and defends himself and there
by defends the people at homi
when he is attacked. Let us alsoj
do the part it is given us to do
when we are called on, and not at'
a more convenient season, and let
us defend the soldier at the front
even as he defends us at home.
THE WAR COMES TO OUR OWN
WATERS.
' I
The United States has been at j
war with Germany nearly fourteen
months. It is not surprising, quite
the contrary, that the war has at'
last been brought to our home wa-1
ters.
The raid of the U-53 off Nani
tucket on Oct. 7, 1916, two years |
i ago less four months, demonstrated
i that it was practicable for the Ger-|
mans to make a dash to this side of
I the Atlantic, run amuck among
j merchant ships off the American J
coast, and return to their bases at
Zeebrugge or Ostend. It may be as-'
sumed that since that time the Germans
have built submarines designed
to keep the seas for a consider-j
able period, armed with guns of
' larger;calibre than the U-53 carried,'
and with many more torpedoes than!
could be stowed on her.
In September last Copenhagen re1
ported that Germany was fitting out
U-boats of 1,500 tons and 340 feet
long, with hull space for "forty torpedoes
and a large number of
"shells and mines." Moreover, she'
i
was building submersibles, larger |
than the Deutschland, which could;
I , ,
carry oil and be used as tender or
mother ships. The Spaniards, who
may claim a more intimate acquaintance
with visiting German tubman+liAi.
nanfralg VinvA *VATI
XliiCO WiO? V^fVi -?..v
declare} that ''the latest large Ger-J.
"man undersea boats are so well]'
"equipped that they are able to go
"around the world without having
"to replenish the fuel supply for
"their motors." This strains ere- i
r J
dulity, but there is reason to believe (
that in order to operate' on the.]
American Atlantic Coast it is not
necessary for the enemy to have a
base in the West Indies or on the
Spanish Main. Sir John Jellicoe was
quoted about a year ago as saying,
. 'i
that the Germans couia nor unaer-j,
take a submarine campaign in our i
waters without establishing such a'
base. Probably he would no longer
adhere to that view. A British nau-| I
tical periodical recently heard of a
flotilla of six German submarine
cruisers of 2,800 tons' displacement,
which were to carry six-inch guns
and to have the protection of an
armored conning tower. These '
dreadnought U-boats were to be
ready for business early this Spring.
Whatever the size, capacity, and
J cruising radius of the enemy's im-| ^
proved submarines may be, two of (
them are now in our waters, and it i
is for the naval patrol, which Sec- 1
retary Daniels declares to be ade- j
quate, to run them down. It will, j
of course, have the assistance of all ;
the hydroaeroplanes that can be <
mustered for reconnoissance and j
bombing. j <
There seems to be method in the 1
; 1
preliminary attacks of the U-boats j
upon trading schooners and mer- <
chant steamers found in the lanes
. (
of travel. The object apparently is i
to seal up the port of New York and
check the transportation of troops'
to France and England. The cal-; j
culation is that even a temporary
stoppage of disembarkation on the <
oth&r side may count in the German
offensive on the western front. The(
troops must sail, however, when
the navy has perfected its system
of scouting for the enemy's submarines.
A not unexpected condition!
confronts the American Govern-j
J ? ?
I ni6nt| ana idc won^ ui uioj^dwihu^
(troops across the Atlantic must still |
go on. The U-boats have come over
to block or interfere with the transportation
of reinforcements, incidentally
to sink merchant ships. Convoys
must be made stronger. The
navy has been preparing for the
. emergency and is already hunting
i for its quarry.
The war is no longer 3,000 miles (
i away; it is up and down and close to
! our coast, and the roar of guns will!
be heard alongshore, it may be off
t Long Island, or Nantucket, or Bar-J
i negat. The Germans could not have
i chosen a surer way to stir the war
i spirit in every American breast and
to raise patriotic fervor to fever
i heat. At the same time, there is no
j
\ special cause for concern. The wa^
1 has come to us, and we must get
- used to the experience.?The New

WORK OF .U-BOATS.
New York, June 3.?Five American
vessels are now known to have
been sunk by German submersibles
off the Atlantic coast within the
past 48 hours. Two tank steamers
also are reported to have been sentj
to the botom, but verification of this J
report has not been obtained.
The vessels known to have been j
sunk are as follows:
The schooner Edward H. Cole, the!
schooner Jacob M. Kaskell, the!
schooner Isabella B. Willey, the
steamship City of Columbus, the!
steamship Carolina.
So far as is known, there has!
been no loss of life in the sinking
of the vessels, the Germans in each
instance giving the passengers and
crew an opportunity to take to the
boats. The number of merchant
vessels and schooners sunk on June
2nd was reported to be 15. Shipping
is reported closed along the
coast. The government says there
are sufficient warships on this side
to handle the situation. This is the
effort of the Huns to draw attention
of America away from the
drive against the French front.

BAPTIST CHURCH
SERVICES SUNDAY
At the 8.30 service Sunday evening,
the last in a series of sermons
to young women will be preached;
subject, "Woman's Imperishable
Crown." The splendid ushering
by the young ladies and the brightening
work of the flower girls have
added much to these services and'
will again feature the evening ser-j
rice. After discovering woman's
throne of power and life, her crown
will form the logical close to the
series.
It is hoped that many of the people
living beyond Abbeville will attend
this service. Millions of women
are losing their crowns today, and|
their thrones as well. Result- Un-i
happy homes and desolate lives.
The service will be of great importance.
Morning subject: "The Battle of
Rephidim."
