ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1891.
Thursday, April 18, 1918
v Everybody iir Bamberg joins in the
hope that the Cyclops, with "Punch"
Felder on board, will finally turn up.
"Punch" is a fine young fellow, popular
with evervbodw and the anxiety
felt by the members of his family is
shared by every one in the city. It
would be a pleasurable piece of news
to read that the big ship had been
discovered, and that her crew and
passengers were safe.
The outlook in France is decidedly
brighter. The German offensive has
failed in the objectives sought, and
while deep, ugly dents have been
made in the French and British lines,
the lines have never been broken, j
If that line can be held for a little
while longer, the critics are unani-:
\
mous in saying, all fears of the Germans
reaching Paris of Calais in this
drive may be dissipated. That the
crf\-r> lmori.1

ca as .a joke may now well be assumed,
for it is generally conceded that
the terrific drives of the past four j
weeks were made with the hope of
gaining a decision before America
. -v can get into the fight in earnest.
Our impression is that this is not
going to be a very profitable year for
the professional politician. The peo- j
pie are not so very much interested ;
in politics anyway. They have more i
serious things to think about. With j
the fate of the.civilized world hanging
in the balance, the people of the
State are not taking much stock in;
fire-eating political discourses. They j
are thinking more about the wel-!
fare of our boys in the camps and j
on foreign soil. We shall have poli-1
tics, to be sure?they are a necessary j
nuisance; but any man who is not [
thoroughly in accord with the gov-1
ArnmAnt' whn hn? onvthine' hilt the
successful finish of the war in mind?;
we believe he might as well cancel!
his1 candidacy. He will do well to
take his-campaign money and buy
jfc' liberty bonds. /
Bamberg county is apportioned ap.
proximately $170,000 in the third'
liberty loan. The county should go j
far beyond that figure. The county
prides itself on its prosperity, and it I
is a fact that there is probably no
cibunty in the State with more money!
per capita than Bamberg. The government
needs the money; but itj
needs the interest of its citizens more*
than the money. We should like to
see every citizen of the county in
r.
possession of some government securities,
either war stamps or liberty
bonds. Everybody who possibly
can, should\buy some bonds. If you
cannot, however, put fifty dollars
into a bond, buy some stamps. Every\
body can do that. Even if you have
to sacrifice one meal a day to do it,
it is your duty to lend your govern- {<
ment?the best, strongest and safest |
democracy in the world?some of
your money. The government will
be sound and safe only so long as its!
citizens st*ind back of it. Every time
anyone fails or refuses to back the|

! administration, the government is
! weakened just so much. With the
I amount of money on deposit in Bam'
bery county, we should subscribe not
! only $1 70,000, but a half million
would not be too large a sum to subscribe
to liberty bonds.
For the first time, perhaps, in the
history of Bamberg, the stores of the
city were closed on Saturday afternoon
last for the patriotic meeting
at the court house. Anything that
will close the stores of Bamberg on
Saturday afternoon is serious busL
ness?and serious business it truly
i is. The spirit of the people in being j
willing to sacrifice private business
for the bigger business of winning
the war is to be commended. The
proper spirit in these times is to make
winning the war the first business
of all the people. When that spirit
becomes broadcasted all over this
country, the business of defeating
Germany will not be difficult any
longer. We can all be soldiers in
this war?soldiers at home or in the
army or navy. The people at home
have a heavier responsibility than
those actually serving in the trenches.
One hundred million people, unified
in thought andjmrpose, can be
defeated by no nation on the face of
the globe. But one person in a com
munity pulling the other way, can
do more harm than the desertion
from the army of a hundred soldiers.
Over 200,000 applications for insurance
by officers and enlisted men
of the naval service had been filed
by March 31.* The average amount
of insurance on each policy was about
$7,300, making a total of more than
$1,500,000,000. Payments on warrisk
allotments are now about $4*,000,000
a month.
