bunch of cowardly barbarians, and
may aiso add they "can run.''Ha!
Ha! They will fight at a distance.
But wben the Yank comes cioser and
invites tbem to a little game with the
bayonet, they take a Isodden dislike
to war, either cry "Kamerad" or
beat it back in the direction of the
Kaiser's bome; can say few get far
on their trips.
The SDirit of the Yanks is wonderful. Wben the order to charge a
place is given, they go for it with a
dash and a yell not in a mob formation but in a well organized skirmish
line. Of course some fall, but tbe
gap cloaea and on tbey go til! tbe objective is won. Even if wounded,
they inaiat on staying till tbe show ie
over. So mucb said for "the Yank"
No less can be eaid of the French
and British, Perhaps the world
never before baa gained so mucb in
tbe same length ot time as it bas
since July 14. The more we see of the
Hun and bis work of destruction in
villages and towns we have captured
tbe more glad we are tbat we are
here. Will send vou a clipping from
the "Stars and Stripes," which better expresses tbe apirit tban 1 can.
Weare new at the game, we'll admit,
bnt we will take care of the Hun any
old day. i bave asen aome of tbe
quietest and aome of lbe noiaieat,

I am sorry to say 1 have not received tbe bome paper for over four

result for whi h every American may
be justlv proud In this county we
are behind, notwit hstsnding tbe utmost effort of tbo>e baving tbe matter
in charge The quota for thia county
was $201*000 and there have been
bonds soi_ to tbe amount of (171,500
with 1633 subscribers.As we go to
press figures are not available showing subscriptions in the various townships, reports coming trom the banks
in lump sum and not showing amount
from each precinct. Clare witb a
quota of $38,000 has subscribed 150,600
and Harrison is well over the top
thoug*i in just wbat amount we do
not know. Lincoln township is over
tne top ar.d very likely several other
townships are, tbougb wbicb ones
we do not now know.
As is perhaps generally known, tne
quota for eacb connty is based on its
bank resources. Clare county is
peculiarly situated. Three of its four
banks are close to tbe connty lino
and a goodly proportion of the deposits of these banks come from outside. Very naturally and very prop-
erlr these outside people buy bonds
in tbeir own county, this comity getting no CTedit therefor. Naturally it
is felt tbat Clare county has more
