Gerard Saw Submarines.

Gerard saw the submarines, all right His memories may stagger even Der lin. Four years before war, he be- gan to see the game that was being played. While protestations of peace and amity were being made toward the United States. he heard the swagger of the Prussian officers, and felt their contempt toward him as being a free man and of a free people. When Flu rope blazed with war, Germany still tried to hold the United States at peace. She needed this country, then. The plan was to hold us as neutral, to prevent us from preparation for war. to preach the doctrine of pacifism and unpreparedness. on our side of tho water-and all the time to prepare to spring at our throats, just as soon as Europe should be subjugated. A rich United States, to pay the debts of beg gared Europe, such was the Prussian program.
 Only in America would it be pos sible for such a document to be print ed, as a serial. in daily newspapers. Only American papers would be will ing to pay the price. But through the press. simultaneously in the United States. the instalments will issue. and their publication, in August and Sep tember is expected to prove one of the really great news events of the war

A Drive Will BE Made For $500 Mors=
Members Before Christmas.
A nationwide movement has started
to make the coming Christmas Red
Cross Christmas. The spirit Of tho.
Red Cross work is SO closely related
to the spirit of Christmas that no
doubt this movement will strike pop
ular chord and be generally observed.
1t is aimed to give expression to this
spirit by the securing of members for
the Red Cross. A nationwide drive
will be made to secure total mem
bership of 15,000,000. The quota for
this county is about 1000. We have
now about 500, so this will mean se-
curing $500 members in this county
before Christmas.
For each member in house spec
ial Red Cross banner is to be furnish
ed which is to be displayed in q win
dow on Christmas eve. with a candle
placed behind it. This banner will he

mated on Christmas night.
This will be similar to a beautiful
Swedish custom of Illuminating the
windows of the house with candles,
both on Christmas eve. and on early
Christmas morning as the people were
going to early morning services.
A committee of about fifteen busi-
ness men have been appointed to have
charge of this campaign, those from
Willmar being S. E. Stansberry, r. w.
Stanford, D. N. Tallman, Atty. Charles
Johnson and c. B. Carlson. One per-.
son from each branch Of the Kandi-
yohi County Chapter will be added to
this committee. Further details about
this big Red Cross Christmas move

WilImar.

'''s'ss~ss
The Willmar High School will open
its debating season, as a member OF
the State Debating League, on Friday
evening Of this week at the high
school auditorium at 7:45 pm. This
debate will be between the Willmar
High School and the high school at
Litchf1eld. The question for debate is
Resolved, That the various states
should establish schedules of minimum
wage for unskilled labor, constitution
ality granted"
Willmar has team composed VIII u.
ly of boys as follows:
Harold Gilbert, William Loney and
Russell Frost. These boys will speak,
in both the main address and the re.
buttal, in the order given. The VIII.
mar team is made up of wide awake
boys who have entered into the spirit
of preparation in earnest and promise
to give good account of themselves
on the floor.
Lftchfield will be represented by two
boys and a girl. One of their team
is member of the senior class and
the other two are members of the Jun
ior class.
Willmar will support the affirmative
side of the question, and Litchfie.d

Litchfield has a new superintend.
ent and new high school principal
this year and they are entering into
public discussion work with great in.
terest. They have been holding ser.
les of declamatory contests for some
time and have already debated this
same question with eukato at which
time they had two teams, one uphold
ing each side of the question. With
this interest developed on the part Of
Litchfeld, and with the fact that
Litchf1eld is always anxious to take
the measurement of Willmar High
School in any sort of contest, the o.
casion gives great promise of consi6
erable rivalry and enthusiasm. Hon.
orable L. o. Thorpe will act as chair
man of the meeting, and the Judges
will all be from outside of the city.
Everybody is asked to be present
and to lend their heartiest support to
the Willmar boys in their endeavor to
