hank God our liberating lance

Thank God our liberating lance
Goes flaming on the way to France
To France-the trail the Gurkhas foundi
To France-Old England's rallying ground!
To France-the path the Russians strobe!
To France-the Anzac's glory road!
To France-where our Lost Legion ran.
To fight and die for God and man!
To France-with every race and freed
That hates Oppression's brutal creed!
All, France-how could our hearts forget
The path by which came Lafayette?
How could the haze of doubt hang low
Upon the road of Rochambeau?
How was it that we missed the way
Brave Joffre leads along today?
At last thank God! At last we see
There is no tribal Liberty!
No beacon lighting Just our shores!
No Freedom guarding but our doors!
The flame she kindled for our sires
Burns now in Europes battle fires
The soul that led our fathers West
Turns back to free the worlds oppressed
Allies, you have not called in yain
We share your conflict and your pain!
"Old Glory" through new stains and rents
Partakes Of Freedoms sacraments!
Across the red, shell blasted turf
We drive the Invader and his serf!
Last come, we will be last to stay
Till Right has had her browning day!
Replenish, comrades from our veins,
The blood the sword of despot drains
And make our eager sacrifice
Part of that freely rendered price
You pay to lift humanity
You pay to make our brothers free!
See, with what proud hearts we advance
to France.

Physicians in War.
(Wall Street Jonrnall

! tWail Street Journal)
reports indicate that the heaviest
losses In the present war have been
suffered by the medical corps.
IN former wars physicians were
kept in the rear, but not SO now. Four
doctors accompany each regiment, and
three OF these are sent to the firing
iine with the troops to give immediate
AID to the wounded. Without arms
ana IN no way Of protecting them
serves, these men are moved down.
Already $4,000 have been killed. In
a recent engagement 257 were killed
IN an hour; in another engagement
400 were killed. An ambulance driver,
temporarily called from his post, re-
turned to find only 10 persons left
'ut OF the original 1865 on duty when
lie went away.

SCHOOL SHOULD BE UTILIZED
DURING THE SUMMER.

. Some Of the leading educators of
the country have suddenly come to
realize the waste represented by the
summer vacation when for three
months or more the great college
buildings and elaborate equipment are
absolutely idle. The question Is, why
should these large investments de-
signed for the education of young
men and women be abandoned during
a fourth of the year? The fact is that
there Is no good reason for 1t, and the
educators of the country are rapidly
coming to realization of this truth.
There are thousands of ambitious
young men and women within reach
Of every large college who would be
glad to take advantage of summer in
struction, as has been demonstrated
where special summer courses have
been provided, and there 10 now a
strong tendency toward having the
colleges and universities open the en-
tire year.
When this change has been accept
ed In the higher educational institu-
tons, 1t will be an easy step to apply
the same plan to the public schools in
the more popufous communities. Take
the situation here in Wallace. This
district has invested large sum in
erecting and equipping modern school
buildings and they should be utilized
every month in the year. It is prob
able that there are many boys and
girls who would prefer to attend the
summer school rather than spend
three months in idleness, and certain
ly many parents would prefer that
they should do SO. To these the dis
trict should provide the facilities. An
course could not be provid-
ed and the staff OF teachers would be
small, but it would provide means for
many pupils to continue their stud
les, give an opportunity for those who
FOR any cause could not attend the
regular term to make up for lost time, !
and in fact 1t would bring the educa-
ional system within the reach of
very one desiring it's benefits at all
lines of the year and without a great
Increase in the cost.

MOVEMENT OF PERsHiNG's MEN
KNOWN TO PRESS.

The safe transport of Pershing's
division to France-a feat accom-
rlished without mishap and without
publicity-should provoke not only an
appreciation of the management of
the expedition but also a tribute to
the press of the country, many of
whose members have had knowledge
that Pershing's men were on the ocean
since the day of their departure. The
incident should show the folly of the
desire for a censorship which some
officers of the administration have de-
clared to be so necessary for the pro-
per conduct of the war. The editors
of the country can be relied upon to
safeguard the nations interest quite
as prudently as any minor function
airy OF an executive department. In
this connection 1t Is worth recalling
that the only publication concerning
the whole transaction which has
at all of a leak" was the
passing of the news of our soldiers
arrival In France by Mr.. George
CreePs curiously misnamed bureau of
public information. Mr.. Creers bur-
eau handled the news in such manner
rs to call down the censure of the
secretary of war. who has since TAX
IN from Mr.. Creel's hands an military
following the ex- /
nipple previously set by Secretary
Aansing and Secretary Daniels. Just
What there is left for Mr.. Creel and
lis assistants. except to draw nav
nd publish the daily bulletin with it's
tale news, is hard to determine. Yet
'e do not suppose that he or any of
Is staff will be at once separated ,
rom the payroll

FRENCH SOLDIERS PHILOSOPHY

1t has been said that the soldier In
war time becomes good deal of q
fatalist but through all the sanguin-
airy days on the European battle line
the French soldier has kept his sense
of humor, says the Infantry Journal
The "Poilu's Litany" republished by
1t, has much food for thought for 9th
ers than fatalists:
or two things one is certain-either
you're modified or you're not mobil-
ized. If you're not mobilized there is
no need to worry; if you are mobiliz-
ed, of two things one is certain
either you're behind the lines or
you're on the front.
If you're behind the lines there Is
no need to worry; if you're on the
front, of two things one is certain
either you're resting in a safe place
or you're exposed to danger.
Ii you're resting in a safe place
there is no need to worry; if you're
exposed to danger. of two things one
Is certaln-elther you're wounded or
you're not wounded.
II you're not wounded there is no
need to worry; if you are wounded
Oh two things one is certain-either
you're wounded seriously or you're
wounded slightly.
II you're wounded slightly there is
no need to worry; il you're wounded
seriously, of two things one is certain
either you recover or you die.
IL you recover there is no need to
worry; II you die you can't worry.

At the last stroke he gave the mach

his large intestine and an artery. The

Having refused to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor, the
mongrel organization at Butte known
as the metal mine workers union has
issued call for meeting in Denver
in August for the purpose of effect
ing national organization. 1t is not
likely that this project will deceive
any right thinking mine worker. It
has the active support of w. d. Hay
wood, the notorious leader of the /.

with that infamous organization.

TO advise soldiers to refuse to per-
form their duty is worse than trea-
son. The federal government should
adopt the most stringent means to
crush any organization that adopts
such methods. The l. w. w. would not
only weaken the governments power
to defend itself against its enemies,
but 1t would induce individual soldiers
to cover themselves with ignomy and
disgrace.

IA|DLAW WOULD ENJO|N
CONTINUED from Page y

The first payment under Mr.. Lancas-
| ter's bond Is due on the first of next
September and he has enough ore on
the dump. which is now being hauled
TO the railroad for shipment, to pay
1t. 1t is learned from an authentic
source that not long ago the Rich
mond company. or it's representative,
bought the Finch & Campbell inter-
est In the st. Lawrence subject. of
course, to the bond held by the Suth-
erlands.
Now If Lancaster is permitted to
continue his operations at the st.
Lawrence the reasonable supposition
Is that he will be able to make the
payment on September 1, and thereby
enable the Sutherlands to pay the full
amount of the bond to Finch &
Campbell estate on October 1. On
the other hand, If Lancaster is en-
Joined and a receiver appointed to
take charge of the mine, the presume
ton is that he will not be able to
make the payment. and the further
presumption naturally follows that the
will not be able to take
up the Finch & Campbell bond on oc- >
tober l. The Richmond companv
having purchased the Finch & Camn. +,
bell interest. would then be the abso.
lutte owner Of an undivided half inter-
est in the st. Lawrence.
But the best laid plans, etc., often
fail to work out according to program.
Il Lancaster should lose out. It Ia not
likely that the Sutherlands would per-
nit the bond they hold to lapse.

the investigation will include the pro

result In general readjustment OF
the price of coal. The coal men in

the price of coal. but the decision to
make an immediate tentative reduce

secretary of the interior. Mr.. Lanes
remarks were based upon a broad and
patriotic view Of the duty of all citi-
zens, and particularly those who con-
troll the material essential for the sue
cess of the war. He said in part:
The difference between men in
dealing with public affairs is that one
man thinks of himself and his own
narrow environment and another man
looks broadly throughout the land and
sees the condition Of the masses Of
mankind and feels what they are
feeling. Craftsmanship Isl foresight.
and the greatness of the American
man has been that he had

IRON MINES AND |. w. w.
Duluth News Tribune)

The J. w. w. traitors are with III
once more. They were traitors n,
less last year, crying down the gov
eminent and yet demanding and get
ting Its protection. But this year W,
are at war and their disloyalty /.
more serious. We referred to then
last year as agitators and lawbreak
ers. This year they are agitators
law breakers and traitors.
They are doing all they can to un.
dermine the government nevertheless
they are again demanding the protec-
ton of its laws. They are again get

Northern Minnesota is plagued with
these enemies as is no other part of
the United States. Here are iron
mines and the ore from them is re-
CURED by the federal government. The
FEDERAL government is carrying on a
war and the, need if iron and Steel is
paramount.
The ENJOYS of Haywood are here
primarily to embarrass the govern
ment. To bring on a strike in the iron
mines is their dream. They want
greater paralysis than last year. If
there are more murders than last wear
and more property destoyed than last
year they will be that much happier.
But murder and invasion of property
rights is but a part of this years pro-
gram.
Treason is the chief consideration.
In attempting to block the efforts of
this country to win the war, aid and
comfort is given the enemy. That is
treason.
The News Tribune has no doubt
that the best known l.. w. w. agita-
tors are in the pay of German agents

BREED THEATRE.
Big Tremaine, Perturbation of Marie VSn Vorst's Novel, With Harold Lockwood and May Allison in the Stellar ,.oIes, Feature for Today and Thursday.

Love, money and politics serve to make the brilliant Metro five part pro duction of Big Tremaine, with Harold Lockwood and May Allison as the stars, which is the feature at the Freed theatre today and Thursday, the otion picture of the moment.
 John Tremaine loves a girl. His brother wins her hand. John Tremaine is entrusted with 8 large sum of money to carry to a bank. His brother steals part of it. The brother dies, leaving a widow and Wo children. Upon Johns shoulders falls the task of rel1a bilitat- ing the family estate, of caring for his brothers widow. the woman he once loved, of bearing up bravely against f-lse suspicious that it was he who stole the money.
 He does these things and earns the nickname of Big Tremaine. Then he wins the love of beautiful and true hearted girl. Next he is called on to run for congress- despite the slurs that have been cast on his character. He refuses. The girl he loves insists She leads an army of voters to his home She tells him they trust him. He holds back She tells him she loves him. He wavers.
 And then comes the great climax. The women John once loved confesses that it was her husband-his own brother-who stole the money. Big Tremaine is a stupendous drama-the strongest motion picture offering of the season.
 The 18th chapter of The Crimson Stain Mystery will complete the bill for today and Thursday
