nation regarding this says:
"The nations Of The entire world,
with few exceptions are now at war.
"The United States Of America,
through its representatives in congress,
has decided it to be its duty and inter
est to take an active and leading part in
this war. Its citizenship accepts the re.
sponsibility for all the cost in lives,
tragedy and treasure.
"Among those for whom this citizen.

of the public and private schools, meet
together in the Capitol grounds on Fri

June, at half past two o clock, and there
show the spirit of humanity and love
the world has for ages been trying to
attain, and bring such contributions as
their generous impulses incline them to
