REroRTEl. FOR SALE BIIEs.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-10-26

He declared the kaiser's plan was
to sweep over France, break Eng
lands maritime power and then levy
heavy tribute upon America and
force payment through attack and
invasion. He paid glowing tribute
to Belgium and France, recalled the
debt America owes France and de-
clared that IF America had not gone
to war to help France, no red-blooded
American could look a Frenchman in
the face"
In closing he made a stirring APP
peal for Liberty Bond subscriptions,
declaring that. there are black
hearted traitors in the land today
shouting their lies for the kaiser"
and when man does not subscribe
for as many Liberty Bonds as he can,
l say he is on the side of the kaiser.
Fighting for Principle.
I'VE are not fighting for a race, or
for country or for material gain.
We are not fighting to take away
somebody's else land or liberty-we
are fighting to restore the homes and
liberty of peoples overrun by barba-
rians-we are fighting for a prin-
ciple, the principle of liberty, justice
and humanity. We are fighting to
break down forever all the autocratic
power in the world.
1--WE must show the kaiser that we
are Americans, that we are not a
money-mad nation-we must show
the world that we will fight for an
ideal. And we must take care of our
boys who are going to fight for us
We must over-subscribe the Liberty
Loan. We will be towards and pol
troons if we do not"

He also went down to the Y. NJ. C. A..
where 40 or so had gathered, and
told them the same thing.
The youngsters were obdurate,
however, and pulled" a serpentine
parade through the business section
and up to the high school building,
hung around outside while and then
went over to the new capitol grounds
nearby and INDUCED in a wiener
roast. Thursday noon their ranks
were increased by the walk-out of
nearly every other member of the
two upper classes, including the girls.
Principal Aiken objected to the
"hobo day" stunt, saying that the
school was already swamped with
other activities, such as the Loan
campaign, distribution of the food
conservation cards, and the Olympus
subscription contest. all crowded into
four days of school this week. The
youngsters, on the other hand, claim
he acted in too arbitrary manner.
Thursday afternoon mostly fresh
men and sophomores attended high
school. Friday is a holiday, while
the teachers attend the meeting of
the Washington Educational associa-
ton in Tacoma. 1t is expected that
the dispute will be adjusted so that
school will be resumed as usual next
Monday. though the students say
they will "hold out" for permission
to make such stunt an annual affair
and, for the reinstatement of all those
suspended.

OLYMPIA CELEBRATES
EVE OF LIBERTY DAY
FORMER SENATOR PILES DELIV
ERS STIRRING PATRIOTIC
ADDRESS.

I'VE have reached a point in
this country when a person who
is not for the country is against
the country. We are going to
separate the sheep from the
goats--we are going to put the
screws to the black-hearted trail
tors"
This declaration, made in ringing
voice and greeted with loud applause,
was one of the striking features of
the address delivered by former SEN
ator Piles at the Liberty Loan meet
ing at the statehouse Tuesday even
ing, with which Olympia inaugurated
it's celebration of Liberty Day
Wednesday.
Prior to the meeting, school Chill
dren and their parents had gathered
in the different wards of the city, had
lighted the Liberty bonfires, sung pa
triotic airs and engaged in fitting
patriotic celebration. Then they pro-
ceeded to Fourth and Main streets
and joined in parade through the
business section, led by the local
band and the Capital Home Guards.
The house chamber of the capitol
was filled. and though some of the
youngsters were a little disturbing
now and then. the crowd gave close
attention to Senator Piles. He was
introduced by Thos. l.. O'Leary
chairman of the local Liberty Loan
committee, who announced that al
that time, with subscriptions already
received by the local banks and 9TH
ers promised from different sections
of the county, some $4,000 remained
to be subscribed here before the
county fulfilled it's quota.
Discusses Causes of War.
With but brief introduction, Sen.
ator Piles launched into discussion
of the causes of the present war, as
signing to the kaiser from the time
h assembled the throne of the Ger
|
the world through military conquest
and declaring that history would
convict him as the person respon
sible for the war (which has involved
nearly the whole world and which nc
one anticipated"
He pointed out how the kaiser
gained the upperhand of Austria
Hungary through diplomatic intrigue
sketched the history of the Balkan
wars during the years just preceding
the present struggle, and reviewed
the events and diplomatic move
made by England. France, Italy ant
Russia in July, 1914, following tn,
assassination of the Austrian arch
duke, to obtain convention of thu
nations to settle Austria's dispute
with Serbia, appealing to the kaise
to prevent war but getting only re
Ifusal.

that however much In the wrong Chris
might prove to be, she would only love
him all the more. Now she knew IT was
not true that there are some things which
love cannot survive. because they destroy
the very essence of the person who was
loved. She realized now that she had wor-
SHIPPED Chris because he had always seemed
to her above every other man she had met
Now he was lmmeasurably lower than her
absurd. pompous. but honest father, lower
than Percy. with his nice. ordinary, well
meaning nature. In "A flash she saw that
she would have preferred even an intrigue

Brent saw and In that moment of COM
prehension although 1t made his task more
difficult he realized that unknown to itself
and to him until now, Molly's spirit was
after all, akin to his. She, too could pre-
fer personal unhappiness to the loss of an
idea.
Molly cried convulsively, leaning over
the arm of the chair farthest away from
him He could not attempt to comfort
her Suddenly through the horror in Moly's
mind sudden flash Of inspiration came.

that this terrible thing Chris said of him

reason for his saying it: the old conven-

declared. "You are not telling me the

I'm just beginning to understand How
long have you known Mrs. Lee?'
At that moment the door opened and Mir
lam came into the room.
Miriam had heard Moly's last words by
the simple eXpedient of listening at the door.
This was one of the disadvantages of her
professionalism. instinctively she now al
ways applied her ear to the crack of
door before putting her fingers to the
handle. She now saw, she thought that
Molly was making a scene about her mir

to help him. lest jealousy should set fire
to their mine, she came the rescue.
Are you talking about me?" she aked
casually and with her charming, friendly
smile.

THERE was only one chance and that
i was to play on Moly's love for him. If he
could make her think that he and he alone.
was in the game she might shield him, any
way until tomorrow, when all could be
made plain. 1t was unfortunate that he
had been trying to teach her the sacredness
Of an idea over any individual tie. and he
could only hope that her instinct would
triumph over counsel so alien to her habit
Of mind and so newly administered.
