One team of bond statesmen that is
working in the neighborhood OF Dillon
proclaims that they prefer to solicit
Americans Of German descent. They
come across for $1,000 in bonds with
out unwillingness and in the spirit OF
patriotic assistance to the govern
rnent. This team has worked half us
assigned route and has already more
than half of the $4,000 each route
must raise to fill the country quota.
The district is largely of the German
American class, close at figures ana
thrifty. Not that Americans on this
route are falling down for they are
buying literally, in the true American
spirit: but that the thrifty farmer OF
German birth and descent is taking
the bonds willingly as patriotic
thing to do as well as an excellent IN
vestment. The Unborn thrift OF the
German blood recognizes the absolute
security of the investment, and
patriotic impulse urges IT TO stand by
its government while its business sense
and fairness admits the duty of the
farmer TO share his big war profits
with the country in emergency. The
farmers of German descent in the
n!Shborhood of Dillon should be pre-
scented to the State Center neighhor-
hood to lend enthusiasm to the can
vaSs there.

it all depressed me. Why should the
country send its finest young manhood
to war and leave behind all the scum,
the vagabonds and loafers who have
never done anything for either them
selves or their country? think this
should be changed. Let the govern
ment send these men to war so that
will not go to their graves without
ever having done anything useful.
Why send away the finest boys who
mean so much to the future?
Why. not fill up the armies with
the scum of the earth, with the vag-
abonds and loafers? Why not open
the prison agtes and send as we'll the
thugs, the common drunkards and
murderres? This would save vast
sums to taxpayers and, perhaps, rid
the country of great many of it's
public charges. But let us see why
they are not fit for the armies.
Because they are not men. since
they lack the manhood wherewith to
face the world and gain an honest
living by honest toll. They shun
industry. They lack courage. They
are strangers to honor. They have
no respect for themselves, for their
fellowmen nor for the laws of God or
man. The flag is entitled to the
company of the nations manhood.
Its honor must be defended by men of
honor. 1t must be borne into battle
as the symbol of the sacred principles
of the American government. 1t
must be carried as the banner of an
army that is brave, loyal and strong,
and that is willing to die in order
that those sacred principles may live.
Victory can only come to leaders who
are proud of the men they lead. The
nation must be able to accord honor to
its defenders. 1t could not honor the
scum driven to war by fear. The
profession of arms is jealous of the
virtues it has claimed from the days
when knighthood was in flower. :"
The old chivalry lives in the armies
of today. The recruiting banners
read, Men wanted for the army. 4"
They mean just that. The Stars and
Stripes must be borne by men. The
nation must be proud Of its army.
! The army must be proud of the nation.
When the armies march away they
must leave the scum behind. They
are not fit to be soldiers.

friends. In our bunch there were II
appretice seamen from Portland, also
20 marines from st. Paul who were
going to Mare Island with us. There
was only one sleeper for 81 of US,
owing to some mistake. so We had to
''bunk'' two by two. We left Port
land at 8 o'clock in the evening and
Travelled all that night, also the
following day and the next night,
arriving in Oakland the following
morning about O'Clock. We there
took the ferry over to Frisco, had to
