ROAD WORK FOR THE COPPER
coUNTRYs UNEMPLOYED.

The proposition to bond Houghtor
county for not less than 100000 for
the building of good roads TO furnish
work for the unemployed, has met
with instant favor among all who real
ize the necessity for prompt action.
When introduced by Attorney w. J.
Galbraith at the Calumet business
mems banquet Tuesday evening it re-
ceived the endorsement Of all pres
ent and subsequently a special meet
ing of the business mems association
was called for Friday evening 10 con-
slider the matter and name a special
committee TO further the movement.
The Copper Country Commercial club
also will work for the success of the
plan, and at its executive committee
meeting next Tuesday evening will
adopt a resolution recommending that
the county board Of supervisors sub
NIT the bonding proposition TO the
voters

WHAT is 1T ALL ABOUT?

Answering a letter from reader
asking it to explain the war in few
words-few enough so that the point
is plain to see and easy to remember,
the Adrian Telegram gives this SUM-
mary:
l. The tinder box. For years Eu-
| rope has been ready TO take fire at
la Gpark. Russia is an aggressive and
growing nation, eager to extend 10 the
Mediterranean. Austria feared Russia
! because Russia's advance would have
choked off Austria's future career
France has been filed with hatred and
vengeance against Germany. Germany,
wedged between them. was in mortal
danger every hour. England feared
Germany because Germany was en-
croaching on her trade. and threatened
the British empire.
>. The spark. Any spark would
have been sufficient. In fact the flames
would have started rom spontaneous
combustion in a short time. But the
assassination Of the Austrian grand
duke and duchess made a convenient
preteXt for attacking Servia. Austria
did not want To annex Servia, at least
not Immediately. Austria wanted to
make her so abjectly helpless that she
would be worth nothing as an ally OF
Russia-to reduce her to the position
of Cuba.
3. Why did Russia join? Russia
thought the time was opportune to
make another move toward the Medi- |
terranean. Russia expected 10 aid en-
courage and strengthen the Balkan |
states as a Russian outpost, possibly to |
extend a protectorate over them. 1t
was a deliberate step in a centuries
old plan. Russia struck because she |
was ready.
4. Why did Germany act? Primar-
ly because she is bound to defend
her ally. Austria. Really because she
could not keep out. She must fight
for existence against Russia. and the
time to do II was Observation-Disclosures
Russia got any stronger and before
Germanys only ally was beaten.
.. Why did Germany attack
France? Because she had TO. Ger
many would have been glad to re-
main at peace with France. and tried

If Germany wins the war

Z. Why did England join? Because

COLLEGE CAPERS
FOR BENEFIT OF
Wellesley COL,

Posters around town and notices in
the papers announce an event in the
Armory called College Capers,' for
June %. The cause is a worthy one.
At 4:4o o'clock en- the morning Of
March II, Wellesley's main building.
College hail, was destroyed by fire.
An eastern paper says:
The destruction of Coiiege Hall at
Wellesley was the most disastrous
affair in the history Of the higher ed
ucation of young women in America.
This was perhaps the largest college
building in the country. 1t held all
the offices of administration, it con,
tanned lecture rooms for the greater
part of the college. Is reception
rooms, an assembly hail, study hall,
dining rooms and parlors. The labor
ateries of the departments OF geolo-
gy. physics, psychology, and zoology
were there, as we'll as the rooms for
hundreds of the girl students. Prac-
tically all that the building housed
was lost in the fire. 49,. 49,
Aid for the temporary re-esiablish-
ment Of the ruined departments has
come generously from the colleges and
museums near Boston, from Clark uni
yersity, from Mount Holyoke college,
the University of Pennsylvania, Vas
sar, and from the graduates and
friends of Wellesley. Temporary ae-
Communications have been provided for
the students and for the conduct of
the courses, which will begin anew
next Tuesday. But Wellesley must
have new buildings, equipment, fresh
material for work, museum specimens
and books. Here is chance for some
wealthy man or woman to do service
TO wellesley only second to that rem
sdered by its founder
The fact that every occupant of the
building escaped unframed as a re-
suit of systematic disciplined fire
drill and of wonderful control is a
story by itself y.
The amount necessary for the re-
placement of facilities destroyed by
fire is $1,230, 600. The trustees have
appealed for $1,Sa9, 900. S560,00 to be
secured before June so, 1915. This
means work for the aiumnae and we,
the alumnae of Honolulu, want the in
sterest and cooperation of all.
| The Wellesley College News says:
Wellesley college was dedicated to
the service of God and was founded
with the announced purpose of giving
to young women opportunities for ed.
.ueaticn equivalent to those provided
in colleges for young men," 1t haa-
freely opened its doors to. all races
and ereeds Its service has been ma.
uonal, not local. The enrolment for
the present year is 1880. More than
62 per cent of these students claim
residence outside of New England.
The college undertakes to prepare
Its students for effective Christian
citizenship. and stands for high ideals
or scholarship and of life. The public
press has already paid tribute to the
wellesley training as tested in the re.
cent fire. Wellesley college faces
crisis in its history, and its appeal to
the friends of education rests on an
honorable past
