half what it would be in normal days.
Truth Is Bad Enough

There is no wish to demonstrate
that war is as safe as Sunday school
picnic. Its dangers are real and
great, its losses by death numerous
and terrible. A considerable number
of our soldiers will never come home
from France. Another considerable
fraction will come back permanently
crippled and helpless. The truth is
bad enough.
But mothers and fathers whose
sons have gone or are going to war
may find some comfort il the state
ment that eight out of every ten of
the gay young soldiers who are now
putting on the uniform will go thru
the war without getting a serious
scratch and will come back to civil
life stronger men physically than
they were before.
That is prediction which is justi-
fed by the experience of the allied
armies in the present world war.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

The German kaiser realizes that
when the vast American army gets
into the war he will be whipped. He
sees the handwriting on the wall.
Therefore he is pretending to want
peace He fees that if he could get
the nations of the world around the
table and talk about peace, he might
put over some trick to the advantage
of his government. He realizes that
the majority of the governments of
the world are against him and that if
he gets anything, it must be by a
trick. He wants to seat his men down
around the tables along side Of men
who have been too manly to murder
women and babies He evidently does
not realize that he is al outlaw.
The kaiser knows that peace will
come ultimately and he realizes that
at that time his judgment will not be
considered Before peace does come.
every German gun must be laid down
and every tank, filled with poison by
German skill and efficiency must
be thrown into the sea or harmlessly
exploded. He knows his own guilt
just as the world knows it.
The American people have Consid-
cred the whole situation. They know
that we can have no peace or this
continent if Germany wins. Any
patched-up peace in Europe would be
to our disadvantage. Our concern is
in regard to the United States Of
America. We do not want Germany
in triumph in this war, because of the
conditions she would impose upon US.
We do not want Germany to whip
England because, under those circum-
stances, she would take Canada. We
could not live at peace in the world
if Canada was controlled by Prus-
slams We do not want Germany 70
have Mexico. We could not live IL
peace on this continent under those
circumstances. Therefore, we are
fighting for America, and Americans
terms to the kaiser are, "UncondI-
tional surrender"
This new world is still new. To
make it great, it must be free from
kaiserisms, l. w. w. spies and assas-
sins, and to accomplish these ends.
this war must be fought TO finisa.-

Directions For Making Grape Juice. at
Home.

To make good homemade grape
juice select fully ripened but not over
ripe grapes Put them in a clean,
freshly washed sack and crush the
grapes by twisting the sack at each
end, catching the juice in clean
pan. This can best be done by two
persons, at each end of the sack. Put
the Juice in a double boiler or in a
stone jar placed in pan of water, SO
that the juice does not come in direct
contact with the fire, and heat it up
gradually to a temperature of 200
degrees. 1t is best to use good Their
mometer and be sure that the juice is
not heated above 200 degrees, be-
cause when it is heated above that
temperature it will almost invaria-
bly, taste scorched. 1t should never be
allowed to boil.
After the juice has been heated for
a little while il should be poured i'm
mediately into a glass or enameled
vessel and allowed to settle twenty
four hours. The juice should then be
carefully drained from sediment and
poured through several thicknesses of
felt or wooden cloth and then poured
into clean bottles.
Fit thin board over the bottom
of the wash boiler and fill it with
water up to the necks of the bottles.
Heat the water until it begins to sim
mer and put in the filled bottles,
leaving them there for several min
utes. Do not allow the water to boil.
Then take the bottles out and seal i'm
mediately.

MICHIGAN EVE" IN HILLS.
Ann Arbor Girl Enters Wilds for
Seven Days Stay.

National Park, Colo, Sept. s.
Nearly 1000 persons, noted tourists
from all parts of the United States,
last Sunday morning watched Miss
Agies Lowe, pretty 20-year-old Am
Arbor, Mich, university girl, start in
to the trackless wilderness clad only
in a scanty dress and carrying no food
or weapons.
The girl announced she would stay
seven days and nights in the noun
tains, a veritable modern Eve" cook
ing her own food over fire made af-
ter the fashion of prehistoric man,
and sleeping in nest of leaves under
trees.
Enos A. Miles, noted naturalist and
author, from whose home at the foot
of Longs peak the girl started out,
and al the government officials of the
big national park were on hand to
pose Before a battery of moving pic
ture cameras bidding Miss Lowe
good-by.
A great crowd had flocked into the
park Saturday to be Oh hand for the
departure OF Eve. Prominent among
the participants in the farewell scene
was the aged Indian chief Four Dogs,
of the Arapahoes, who hunted thru
this region nearly half century ago
with the late Buffalo Bill' Cody and
the Earl of Dunraven. The chief wore
his ceremonial regalia.

MANY FOREIGNERS IN L. $.
Census Bureau Makes Estimate
Based On 1910 Census.

The natives OF Germany Austri-
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey now
residing in the United States aggre-
gate approximately 4,662,000 or
about four and one-half per cent of
the total population of the country.
The foregoing total is announced
by Director Sam l.. Rogers, of the
bureau of the census, department of
commerce, as the result of a calcu-
lation based on the census figures of
1910, the reports of the bureau Of
immigration for the period between
1910 and the present time, and the
estimated mortality during that
period. Altho it is not possible by
this method to determine with alb
so.ute exactness the number of ma
tives of the countries named now
living in the United States, it is be-
lieyed that the results obtained rep
resent IA reasonably close approx
nation to the facts.
These 4,662,0O0 foreigners are
distributed, according to the coun-
try of birth, as follows:
Germany .......... : 3 40 900
Austria .......... 1876 1000
hungary ........... '3S,O0O
turkey '...... ISS,oVO
Bulgaria ........... 1000
1t is impossible to say whether the
proportions of aliens-that is, per-
sons who have not applied for natur-
aliZation ertificates-among these
foreigners are approximately the
same in 1917 as they were in 1870;
but, assuming this to be the case, the
number of male aliens twenty-ole
years of age and over included in the
above total would be approximately
964, 900, or about 3.2 per cent of
the total number of male inhabi-
tants of the United States twenty
one years of age and over. The dis
tribution of these aliens, according
to country of birth, would be as fol-
lows:
Germany ........... 1876, 900
Austria ............. AZ 900
hungary ........... 2SO,O
turkey ........... $4,000
Bulgaria ........... 5000
The proportion of aliens among
the male Germans twenty-one years
Of age and over is very much small
Ter than the corresponding proper
Ition for the other countries named,
having been only little more than
eleven per cent IL 1910, as against
approximately siXty-three per cent
for Austrians, seventy four per ceL
for Hungarians, eighty-two per cent
for Turks, and nearly ninety per
cont for Rul g9rianS
