1t should be the belief of everybody
that what is before US in this world is
to be better than what has taken place
IN the past. If the Hustler reader
refuses to believe in Evolution then
let him discard it, and If a man wants
TO believe that rocks will by some
nook or crook bear fruit, then let him
Del1eVe that. One part of humanity
looks upward, another looks down
ward, n age to us looks bright, an
otner is covered with gloom-one man,
pretends to be able to see a divine
pedestination, at the beginning of
tnlngs, while another clearly sees that
tne human race is not what the Crea-
tor intended it to be and that the real
ruth about it is yet in some mystert-
GUS way to be learned. We are often
persuaded that men and women are
unable to be what they ought to be
and that there is some future predes-
rnatlon marked out for us, in the way

The members of the Woman's club
of HendersoRville wish to express in
the most cordial terms their thorough
appreciation of the readiness with
which the auto owners of town re-
spounded to their need of machines on
Reciprocity day. With very few ex-
ceptions every automobile in town
was loaned or offered. A number of
visitors in town who own autos offered
them without solicitation to the COM
mittee. The visiting guests of that
day were frequently heard to remark
upon the accommodation of the gen.
tlemen in leaving their own, occupa-
ton and devoting SO much time to
their entertainment. The Club thanks
each individual who added so much to
the comfort and success of the day.

U. s. ARMY MUST USE
EUROPEAN METHODS

Washington. D. c.. May 3-American
troops in France must use their allies
guns and munitions If they are to be
of use in fighting against the Germans,
Howard Coffin of the advisory commits
sion of the council of national defense
today told state governors here for a
defense conference The allies, he
said, are manufacturing more mum.
tons than they can use and can help
supply the American soldiers.
IF our army is to be of service
there" said Mr.. Coffin, 'it must use
European standards. To carry our
standards abroad would create endless
confusion. We would have to estab.
fish factories abroad Allied contracts
are lapsing here now and we can use
the output of our own factories equip
ped to manufacture according to Euro
pean specifications"
The country will need more air
planes than it possibly can produce,
said Mr.. Coffin. The British, he said,
somestimes have as many as 1000 ma.
chimes in the air on single front and
keep behind the lines from $4,000 to
10000 more machines than the Ger.
mans possess.
More automobiles are manufactured
in the United States than the country
can use. Mr.. Coffin said, and he be.
lieves 1t never will become necessary
to commander private cars.

EXPECT EARLY
.CALLFOR GUARD
FULL STRENGTH MAKES PROBA
BILE MOBILIZATION SOON; NO
ORDERS RECEIVED HERE.

The recruiting of the national guart
to full peace strength and subsequen,
order to discontinue further enlist
ment, has led to the belief that an or
der to mobilize is probable very soon
While no orders to that effect have
been received by Capt. Steller of Com
pany G, a Des Moines dispatch states
that such a call Is not unlikely by
Sunday or Monday. The taking Of the
guard to France, in the first con
j tingent is the opinion expressed by
!! Adjt. Gen. Logan.
Des Moines, May s.-The full
strength Of the Iowa National guard
is expected to be called into active
service soon. and unoffi cial information
is that call may be expected either
Sunday or Monday.
Adjt. Gen. Guy E. Logan has re.
ceived no Official notice that the call
will come at that time, but is working
under the belief that the date will not
be far postponed.
Mobilization details will not be
! known until the government announces
its further plans, but in all probabili-
ty many Of the troops will be quarter
ed in Des Moines.
Organize Artillery Regiment.
In addition to the three regiments
'of infantry and the other existing
guard organizations full regiment of
artillery is being organized. A regiment
includes six batteries band, head.
quarters and supply company. Five
Of the batteries are already organized,
new units at Davenport and Cedar
Falls having been accepted.
Batteries have been in existence at
Clinton. Muscatine and Davenport. and
new company is to be organized.
Des Moines has been offered the op-
portunity Of forming the unit and Ad.
jutant General Logan has put the
proposition up to the Chamber OF
Commerce.
The state fair grounds buildings it
is believed might be utilized for
armory and headquarters. and it is
probable that thenew local military
unit will be formed. Mason city is also
considered as the site of new bat
terry
Guard to 90 Abroad.
General Logan believes that, II as
now seems likely, troops are dispatch
ed to France soon, that the national
guard will be among the first to make
the trip. He believes that the regular
army may be kept in this country un.
til the first 100000 Of the selective
conscript army is trained.
The state military department is
ready for the call for mobilization
should 1t come. 1t is not known just
what will be required Of the state. as
the government may at once take over
full control Of the Iowa troops. The
First regiment. now in service, is prac.
tically entirely under the control of the
federal authorities now.
Practically all Of the units are up to
full peace strength. An order might be
issued requiring their recruiting to full
war strength, which might result in
further postponing the call.
The belief Is. however, that the or
will be taken over as they
stand at present.
