AMERICA’S CAUSE FOR WAR
■
“The new German policy swept every restriction aside. Ves- ^
sols of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their]
cargo, their destination; their errand, have ruthlessly been sent!
to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or,
mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along]
with those of the belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships]
carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken jieople ot
Belgium,though the later were provided with safe conduct:
through the prescribed areas by the German Government itself |
and were distinguished by unmistakable marks ot identity,
have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or:
of principle. *
“I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, im-]
mouse and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and whole-j
sale destruction of the lives of noncombatants, men, women, and j
children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in tliei
darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and]
legitimate. Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and i
innocent people can not be. The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind.”—i
Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.

Appeals for help in overcoming the freight car shortage have I
not been without results, according to information given out by]
the American Railway Association. What can be accomplish
ed by intensive loading is best illustrated by a few random in
stances:
In New Orleans, sugar, formerly loaded to only fit) per cent
of the capacity of the cars, is now being loaded from 100 to 113
p, r cent of the marked capacity.
At Libby, Mont., a lumber company which in July, 1016,
loaded an average of 22,268 feet of lumber per car, in July this
year increased the average loading to 26,383 feet.
A rubber company in the middle west which'averagcd 16,000
pounds of tire to the car before the campaign for intensive load
ing began is now loading 32,000 pounds of tires to the car.
An iron company in New York state that formerly loaded pig
iron to 90 per cent of the marked capacity of the cars increased
its loading to 107.2 per cent during the period July 15 to July
31 inclusive.
HERE IS A REAL PATRIOT.
Quiting a post that paid him $50,000 a year in order that he
might answer the call to arms of bis country, is the credible per
formance of O. B. Berry of Alaska. Fifty thousand dollars a
year is a pretty good income. Almost $150 a day; more than
$6 an hour. The number of men who receive such salaries are
few. But—and it is a big BUT—men who rise to such a salary
height always are red blooded men and are the kind who serve
their country in time of need. Therefore, the giving up of an
annual income of $50,000 in order to fight for bis country was]
not a big thing for Mr. IVrry to do. His patriotism was not
to be measured in dollars. He possessed attributes that made
him valuable to Ins employers. These same attributes were also
equally valuble to bis country—and today Mr. Perry is a major
in the United States army, helping to organize the lieavey en
gineering branch of the service that is to go to France.

Tommy Atkins has been quick to pick up American shrug
phrases such as “Some Chicken” and “Go to it.” Wonder if
he will be just as quick to succumb to the joys of “come seven”
“come Mevon” which the Sammies have taken up in London.
Soaring price of silver makes us think that W. T. B., whose
16 to 1 still clings to memory, may come out for 56 50.
Shark leather may be something new. Leather “sharks”
are not.
