THE G The Big Friendly Store THURSDAY EVENING, STEELTON AND NEARBY CROATIAN SOKOLS SUBSCRIPTION BUY WAR BONDS TO LOAN LARGE Local Foreign Organizations Subscribe SI,OOO to the Liberty Loan That the Croatlans in Steelton are loyal to this country Is proved by the fact that the Croatian Sokol, Steel ton's most influential foreign society, has subscribed SI,OOO to the Liberty Loan. This amount, however, is ex pected to be materially Increased after the canvass of the members which is now being waged is com pleted. The members are all enthusiastic over the proposition and are behind the government to a man. Methods are now being considered for look ing after the families of any of the members who may enter the service of the government aflcld or afloat, as. 90 per cent, of its members are of the registration age and liable to a call.

When the final shot is fired in this war the Croatlans expect to see their country united with the Serbians and Slovenians in the one country which they term "Jugoslavia," meaning a united country of Southern Slavs. This has been the teachings of the Croatian Sokol since its organiza tion. It has endeavored to bring be fore its people the realization of the necessity of the liberation of their people from the dual monarchy, Aus tria-Hungary, and to form a union based upon the American democratic principles with their kin of southern Europe, consisting of the following branches of the Southern Slav race, namely, Croatlans, Serbians and Slo venians. "It Is needless to say," stated an officer of the sokol to-day, "that we Southern Slavs consldor it our great est duty to give our adopted country every possible support in this strug gle, as, doing this, we are helping all those who are dear to no back there in our native land to free themselves, 1o attain their long hoped for lib erty, to erect their own democratic state, and as free people take their place irmong the free." As to the outcome of this war he said: "The price the world Is paying to-day is big, but the object It strives to attain Is worthy of the price."
