It was the teach ing of mother that made the Amer ican soldier respect the women and children in a foreign land. It was mother who taught the boy to be an honorable soldier and to fight for so just a cause. It was mother who shed the tears for that boy as he was leaving his dear old home, per haps never to return, as many have not. It is mother who must bear the sorrows of the absent ones who will never return.

Let us, as sons of these proud mothers, wear a white carnation in their honor, on Sunday, the 11th day of May."

Instead he sat In an easy chair at the Red Cross canteen and told of lying flat on his face while machine gun bullets whizzed the ground all about him, leaving him with a col lection of flesh wounds as a relic of his part of the scrap. Sliger, who was on his way to Tu pelo to visit his parents, says he en listed in the Army late In 1915 be fore America took a hand In the war and went across with the signal corps in July, 1917.

STATE HAS HARD TASK TO GO OVER IN VICTORY LOAN Governor Sproul Urges Penn sylvanians to Do Their Full Duty That Pennsylvania must "put its best toot foremost" in the effort to put the State across the line a win ner in the purchase of Victory Bonds was the declaration to-day of Gover nor William C. Sproul. "It must not be said of Pennsyl vania.' declared the Governor, "that it was remiss in this, the last of the Liberty Loan campaigns. Out war record table to date has been as Pr'TWfMfc Welcome home Boys of the 28th rv%v Sw Harrisburg is proud of gou. Your achievements on the field of battle brought j\ "T/ victory to America and the Allies and Glory to yourselves. Z |> Supply ! clean as it has been wonderful. We | must take up our full quotas, every where. I urge upon every man and woman—every wage—and salary earner in this State, that he or she I does his full duty before the cam j paign ends." , i This sentiment was seconded by 1 many State officials. | "Pennsylvania must retain its position as the foremost State of the Union,'' declared Lieut. Gov. , Beidleman. "I repeat what I have already said," declared Col. Edward Martin, State Health Commissioner. "There are no reasons why we should not buy bonds; there is every reason why we should.' 1 "Just as this State is leading the 1 nation in an effort to complete for itself a system of good roads, so I must it lead the balance of the I Union in completing its record for j having supported the Federal Gov -1 eminent in every crisis," said Lewis |S. Sadler, State Highway Commis sioner. I "It surprises me very much to II learn that we are not buying bonds as we should," said State Senator T. Larry Eyre. "They are not only one of the best investment opportunities ever offered the nation, but their purchase is a patr otic act which should not call for deliberate action on the part of any of us." Banking Commissioner John S. Fisher, whose experience in finan cial affairs puts him in a position to command attention, urged concerted action on the part ot the State at large. "This is the last ot the Liberty Loans,' said Commissioner Fisher. "Pennsylvania has performed nobly in the preceding four campaigns, and many millions of dollars of the Government's Liberty securities are put away in our vaults and strong boxes. This fifth issue of bonds is a remarkable one in man; ways. It presents an extraordinary investment opportunity. That alone should mean that Pennsylvania's allotment be taken up without loss of time. And when we couple with the in vestment opportunity the fact that buying bonds shows we are still 'carrying on then we are assured thatl Pennsylvania must not fail." "There are few of us, if any, who! cannot afford to buy Victory Bonds," I said Cyrus E. Woods, Secretary of the | Commonwealth. "I mean that there i are few of us who cannot afford to | save money. That is all we are! being asked to do. We are asked . to loan a few dollars to the Govern- ! ment for four years. With this! money we will pay the balance of j the cost of the war. Are we going to be any less patriotic than we I were on the day the drive at Chateau Thiery began and the day the armis tice was signed?" "During the next'week or 10 days," said Auditor General Charles A. Snyder, "Central Pennsylvania will be called upon to welcome home thousands of soldiers of the Iron Division. They are going to ask us what we were doing while they 'e on the other side. Are we going to I tell them that wo were with them till the war ended, and that now we | have 'slacked up.' and are off the war ' Surely not! Pennsylvania 1 will continue to be the brightest star I I in the galaxy of States." j Cash Gift Awaits Every Returned Reading Yank Reading.
