"IN THIS SIGN, CONQUER."
Sixteen hundred years ago >111 one my host threatened (Saul,
I>tecursor of modern Franco. The first Constantino, surnained ti e
(Sroat, led his armies to the defense. Throe times he was victori-
ous, and it was in his campaign, as Kusebius and other histori
atis record, that lie saw in the sky a luminous cross, with the
• Iroek words which have been rendered into English: "In til's
Sign, 1 'onquor.
After sixteen hundred years there blazes in the heavens a
cross as luminous as that which struck awe to the heart of Con-
stantino, a cross fiery flaming and red red with the blood of
millions who have died for freedom, red with the glow of the
infernio wherein the liberty of the world is being forged.
The lied Cross must be the symbol in which America goes
forth to conquer. All other forms of conquest we have renounc-
ed. Ours is the task not merely to supply millions of men and
mountains of foodstuffs, ships and weapons of warfare: wc
must rebuild cities and hearten war wont peoples, pour oil on th
eir wounds and bind th'ein up, kneel by the dying and receive
from their lips the simple testament of the faith in which we arc
to rise, fight forward and finally rest on our arms victorious.
The tardiness of our entrv into the war must be the incus-
%
ure of our effort. Let us give our money without stint when the
call conies. The Red Cross is appealing to America for $100,000.
000, There ought not to be an American who will not give some-
thing. A dollar from each of uswould suffice. It must be more t
hail that whenever possible.
To give money is so little. Can you shut your eyes oil the
shining Red Cross.— N. Y. Sun.

no State Corporations Commission
The following is being sent
out by the State Corporation
('omniissioii •
To all railways, their managers
and employes, all coal mining
companies, all wholesale and
tail eoal dealers, all coal con-
sumers :
This Commission deems it ini
perative that you contribute to
preparation for war by doing
your part in the conservation of
the car supply. This you can and
should do, not next week, next
month or next fall, but NOW.
The nation is mobilizing its
men. It is attempting to mobi-
lize its resources. This is possi-
ble only with maximum effici-
ency iu transportation, and such
efficiency is impossible without
YOI'R co-operation.
Cat's now available for the
transportation of coa I must be
used next fall and winter for the
transportation of military stores
and raw materials for their
manufacture. If you fail to uti-
lize these ears NOW. in order
that tliev may be available for
military use later, you art not
measuring up to the standard of
patrotism that your country ex-
pects of you.
The Commission urges all re
tail coal dealers to immediately
order their next winter's eoal
supply and asks them to join
in urging their customers to take
immediate direct delivery of
whatever eoal they may need for
next winter's use. In all roabil-
lit.v it will bo impossible for the
carriers to handle more than a
small part of the normal traffic
in coal during the fall and win-
ter month.
There must be full co-opera-
tion between consumers, dealers
and the general public to the end
that suffering next winter
through shortage of cars and
power for moving eoal may be
reduced to the minimum.
