HEARN Editor and Publisher. A STRIKING CONTRAST This from "Every Week," a New York Journal, not only emphasizes German atrocity, but pays a fine tribute to the soldiers of the Southern Confederacy: "What warfare is depends upon the men who make it. Contrast the Germans in Belgium with the record of the Army of Northern Virginia. It invaded Pennsylvania and occupied it twenty-one days, fights a great battle, or rather a series of baitles and returns to Virginia, leaving no trace of violence or rapine behind it. None of the citizens are harmed. Their homes, their farms, their villages are immune from injury. We look in vain ior me iron nooi ot war in the country trodden by the army of Northern Virginia." The army of Lee was composed of Southern gentlemen fight ing for what to them was a great and patriotic principle. The Overman ar my is an army of conquest, led on b> the Kaiser, to whom civilized warfare is an unknown quantity. He makes brutes of his soldiers by giving them license to pillage the homes of the country they invade, putting little children to death and inflicting upon the women and girls punishment worse than death. Is it any wonder that the people of the United States are united as one man to raise millions of dollars and a vast army to fight an enemy whose very existence is a menace to civilization, to humanity, to religion and to all that is dear to the hearts of enlightened men and women. AMERICA IS PATRIOTIC A press dispatch indicates that New York went far above its allotment of the Liberty loan assessment New York is the great money center of America and it is gratifying to know that the spirit of patriotism controls the millionaires as well as the common people. It is a fact that all true Americans, ? the rich and the poor alike, have subscribed generously to the Liberty loan. The fires of patriotism are ^ burning brightly in cottage and man- ^ sion all over this land of the free. Millions of young men going to the front are backed by millions of dol- rlars from the fathers and mothers . and friends of the boys "over there." No less than seventeen million a* people bought bonds in the last issue, p AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT . f| One of the most notable tributes t< ever given to any man was that con- yt tained in a speech delivered in Wash- ri ington by Colonel Josiah Wedge- hi wood, of the British army. fs Senator Ilallis, of New Hampshire, a who heard the speech, quoted this tt remarkable extract, while addressing y the United States Senate: It He said, "The only thing which s< keeps the British labor loyal to this tl war is its faith in President Wilson; ir that the greatest asset England has u in the United States?greater than y money, supplies, or troops?is Presi- st dent Wilson. It is too much to ask y* of the members of the United States la Senate the same faith in Woodrow tf Wilson that Col. Wedgewood and the ol r.ngush working men feel, but if we ki an not all trust in him implicitly ti let us at least grant him such pow- v( ers as are obviously necessary to T help him win the war, and let us do th it in a spirit that will not impair, at to least, the confidence placed in him by th our brothers in arms across tlx- seas." th Winthrop College fr SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE k" EXAMINATION ll The examination for the award of ; vacant scholarships in Winthrop Col- ^ lege and for the admission of new t t r students will be held at the County ' Court House on Friday, July r>, at It A.

You can't ive anything to the government of le United States?it won't accept it. "There is a law of congress against ccepting even services without pay he only thing that the government ill accept is a loan and duties per >rmed, hut it is a great deal betlei ) give than to lend or to pay, and our channel for giving is the Ame can Red Cross. Down in youi eart you can't take very much satis iction in the last analysis in lending miii-v to thi? iriivi>rnmpnt nf tVio ITn: >d States, because the interest which uu will draw will burn your pockets , is a commercial transaction and >me men have even dared to cavil at ?c rate of interest, not konwing thi icidental commentary that consti ites upon their attitude. But wher ou give something of your heart >mething of your soul, something ol ourself goes with the gift particu irly when it is given in such form at it never can come back by wa> f direct benefit to yourself. You now there is the old cynical difinion of gratitude, expectation of fairs to come in this kind of giving, hese things are bestowed in order lat the world may be a titter place i live in, that men ni??y be succoreo, lat homes may be restored; tha ic face of the earth may have the ight of destruction taken away om it, and that wherever force ?es, there shall go mercy and helpilness. "And when you give absolutely all at you can spare arid don't consid1 yourself liberal in the giving. If >u give your own vanity, but if ?u give until it hurts then your art blood goes into it. "And think what we have here. re call it the American Red Cross, it it is merely a branch of a great ternational organization which is >t only recognized by the statutes r the civilized governments of the orld but it is recognized by interitional agreement as the recognizI and accepted instrumentality of ercy and succor. And one of the >epest stains that rests upon the [ rman army is that they have not spected the Red Cross. "That goes to the root of the matr. 'lhey have not respected the strumentality that they themselves irticipated in setting up as the ing which no man was to touch cause it was expression of common imanity. We are members, by beg members of the American Red ross of a Kreat fraternity and comdeship which extends all over the r>rld an?i this cross which these laes wear today, is an emblem of firistianity itself.

C. gentlemen to think of women all over . this country who are busy tonight , doinjj: the work of the Red Cross Busy with a ^reat eagerness to find out the most serviceable tiling to do, busy with a forpetfulness of all the old frivolities of their social relationships, ready to curtail the duties of the household in order that tbev mau contribute to this common work that all their hearts are engaged in, and in doing which their hearts become , acquainted with each other. When I you think of this you realize how the people of the United States are being drawn together into a great intimate family whose heart is being used for the service of the soldiers not only but for the service >f civilians, where ( they sulfer and are lost in a maze of distress and distraction. And you I have then, this noble picture of justice and mercy as the two servants [ of liberty. For only when men are free do they think the thoughts of comradeship, only where they artfree do they think the thoughts or ' sympathy; only where they are free are they mutually helpful, only where they are free do they realize their dependence upon one another and their comradeship in a common interest and common necessity. "I heard a story the other day that i I was ridiculous but it is worth re-1 ,! pouting because it contains the verm , of truth. An Indian enlisted in the army. He returned to the reservation on a furlough. He was asked what he thought of it. He said 'No much >;ood; too much salute; not much shoot." Then he was asked | 'are you back?' 'Yes.' 'Well, I do you know what you are fighting for?' 'Yes, me know, fijrht to make j whole damn world democratic party.', He had evidently misunderstood some innocent sentence of my own.

If you could catch some j of those voices that speak the utter ( longing of oppressed and helpless! peoples all over the world, to hearj something like the battle hymn of | the rebuplic, to hear the feel of the great hosts of liberty going to set them free, to set their minds free,! set their lives free, set their children free you would know what comes into the heart of those who are trying to contribute all the brains and power they have to this great enter- J prise of liberty. I summon you to the comradeship; I summon you in this next week to say how much and how sincerely and how unanimously you sustain the heart of the world."
