and themselves consigned 70 a state
of Indebtedness from which no human
efforts Will deliver them. The fate of
unborn millions will now depend, I'M
der God, on the courage and conduct
of this army. Our cruel and unre-
lenting enemy leaves us only the
choice of a brave resistance, or the
most abJect submission. We have,
therefore, to resolve to conquer or to
die.
Our own, our country's honor, calls
upon us for q vigorous and manly ex-
ertion; and ii we now shamefully fail,
we shall become infamous to the
whole world. Let us, then. rely on the
goodness Of our cause, and the aid
of the supreme being, in whose hands
victory is, to animate and encourage
us to great and noble actions. The
eyes of all our countrymen are now
upon us; and we shall have their bIes-
sings and praises, If happily we are
the instruments of saving them from
the tyranny meditated against them.
Let us, therefore, animate ard encour-
age each other, and show the whole
world that a freeman, contending for
liberty on his own ground, is superior
to any slavish mercenary on earth.
Liberty, property. life and honor
are all at stake. Upon your courage
and conduct rest the hopes of our
bleeding and insulted country. Our
wives, children and parents expect
safety from us only; and they have
every reason to believe that heaven
will crown with success so just a
cause. The enemy will endeavor to

SEA TONNAGE LITTLE KNOWN
Nautical Terms That Landsman as q
General Thing Has Small Ac-
quaintance With.

There is great deal Of confusion
in the public mind regarding the
tonnage or displacement of
ships, and with good reason, for
there are four distinct methods of
calculating tonnage. In the case of
warships the term displacement is
almost always used. The displace-
ment tonnage is the space occupied
by the vessel in the water. The
amount of water displaced by the
ship is equal in weight to the ship
and all it contains. As one ton is
equal to IS cubic feet of water, the
displacement tonnage is found by di-
viding the number of cubic feet of
water displaced by 35, when the ship
is immersed up to its load line.
: Gross tonnage is a term commonly
applied to merchantmen. In calcu-
!ating it, the whole interior capacity
of the ship below the tonnage deck is
found, including that of all covered
in spaces on deck used for stowage,
and the result in cubic feet is divided
by 100. Net register tonnage is the
gross tonnage minus all the spaces
used for the accommodation of the
crew and instruments and the work
ing parts of the ship. The dead
weight tonnage is the measure of the
exact amount of cargo ship can
carry with safety.

YOUNGSTERS VIEWS OF rIFE
To Be Compelled to Give Affection Is
Something They Cannot Al
ways Understand.

The world seems to be full of what
may be called canalized emotions.
One is supposed" to love ones aunt
or ones grandfather in a certain
definite way, at the risk of being "un-
natural" One gets almost a sense
of the quantitative measurement OF
emotion. Perhaps the greatest trag-
edy of family life is the useless en-
ergy that is expended by the dutiful
in keeping these artificial channels
open, and the correct amount of cur
rent running. 1t is exactly this that
produces most infallibly the rebellion
of the younger generation. To hear
that one ought to love this or that
person; or to hear loyalty spoken of
as the older generation so often
speaks of it, as if it consisted in an
allegiance to something which one
no longer believes in-this is what
soonest liberates those forces of mad
ness and revolt which bewilder spir-
itual teachers and guides. 1t is ex-
aetly those dry channels of duty and
obligation through which no living
waters of emotion flow that it is the
ideal of the younger generation to
break up. They will have no net
work of emotional canals which are
not trimming, no duties which are
not equally loves. - Randolph S.
Bourne in Atlantic.

NEW WHITE HOPE IN KENosHA.
Andy Anderson Who Plans to Battle
Jess Willard Signs Contract Here.

Kenosha was on the pugilistic map
for just ten minutes this morning when
Andy Anderson, the Iowa heavyweight
who is admitted to be on his way to
New York to sling out a challenge to
Jess Willard, the heavyweight cham
pion, came to Kenosha with Howard
Carr, the Chicago sport writer and
fight promoter. The two men hurried
to the Office Of Attorney James E..
Tully where by pre- arranged agree
ment, contract was signed which
made Carr, who is better known as
!" Kid Howard, the manager for the
new white hope. Andy Anderson is
the name that the big Iowa fellow has
taken for his fighting career, but the
name he signed to the contract was
Fred Doiseneliers. The contents of the
contract were not made public, but it
is understood that Carr and the big
fighter are to split fifty and fifty. Carr
and Anderson will leave Chicago the
early part of next week for New York
to begin camping on the trail of Will
lard. The Kenosha sports who had a
chance to loo.1 at the Iowa man, were
of the opinion that Willard would
have to be some fighter to retain his
title.

FOUND DEAD IN A FIELD.
"A. P. Burns Supposed to Have Been
in Kenosha Found Dead Near Baraboo.

Who is A. P. Burns? Press dis
patches from Baraboo, Wis, announce
that a man supposed to be A. P. Burns
of Kenosha was found dead in field
near that city on Friday afternoon.
The man was found only a short dis
lance from the railway tracks and it is
thought possible that he was killed by
train There is no A. p Burns in
the Kenosha city directory and no
records found in the city furnish any
clew to his possible Identity. The Of
fcials at Baraboo made a search of
the pockets Of the man and they found
card bearing this name The card
was one Of the cards used by a saloon
man in Kenosha. It is just possible
that the dead man was a wanderer
who had recently been in Kenosha and
that he was caught by a train while
tramping near Baraboo. No official
call has been made on Kenosha city or
county to provide for the burial of the
man and it is not thought that his
claim of Kenosha as home has been
well established.

sP1NA MUST SERVE TERM.
Governor Notifies Attorney That He
Will Not be Pardoned or Parolled

Frank Spina, the Kenosha man sent
to prison for term Of eight years,
following conviction on charges Of at
tempting to murder Police Officer John
Cyzak, will probably serve his full
term in prison as Governor Philip has
notified District Attorney A. L. Drury
that he will not pardon Spina nor
recommend his parole by the Wisconsin
State Pardon Board When the hear
ing Of the Spina petition was held in
Madison on Wednesday the governor
declared his willingness to investigate
the matter. Following this investiga-
ton he announced his decision that in
his opinion Spina should serve the full
term for which he was sentenced.
Under the good time ruling Spina will
secure his release after serving lit
tie over six years. It is probable that
the friends of Spina before that time
will make another effort to secure his
release. District Attorney Drury was
very vigorous in his declaration that
he believed Spina should serve the full
term in prison.
