Wilson Says Deposits of Aliens Are
Safe i'm United States

That declaration of a state of war
with Germany may cause no appre-
hension among foreigners as to their
savings deposits being seized by the
government, a card bearing the fol-
lowing announcement, authorized by
President Wilson, is being distributed
among Wisconsin banks by the Wis
consin Bankers association.
1T having been reported to him that
there is anxiety in some quarters on
the part of persons residing in this
country who are the subjects of for
eign states lest their bank deposits
or other property should be seized in
the event of war between the United
States and foreign nation, the presi-
dent authorizes the statement that all
such fears are entirely unfounded
'The government of the United
States will in no circumstances take
advantage of a state of war to take
possession of property to which inter
national understanding and the rec
ognized law of the land give it no just
claim or title. 1t will scrupulously re-
spect all private rights alike of it's
own citizens and of the subjects of for
eign states
These cards will be conspicuously
posted in all local and state banks.

Keep Business Normal

If purchasing stops for economy,
America cannot do her part in war.
The United States has agreed to DO
its full part in the war. If it is 10
do it's full part it must protect itself
against panic Certain tendencies are
now making themselves felt which are
likely to make the people over-appre-
hensive and produce commercial lnse-
curity if they are not matted. Inc
United States directors OF the inter
national Association OF Rotary CLUBS,
headed by its international president
Arch c. Klumph, therefore appeal TO
the people of the United States to keep
business as nearly normal as possible.
We must produce all the provisions
we can. We must avoid waste as
patriotic duty. These are movements
20 enlarge the commercial activities OF
the nation, not to contract Them.
But those who propose a rigid clos
ing down of normal purchases to the
line of bare necessity are proposing
a course which will choke the flow OF
our trade down to the lowest livable
minimum. If the women of the United
States stop buying clothes in order to
give money to any one OF a hundred
worthy war causes we shall very
shortly have a series of failures among
American merchants dealing in wom-
ems ready-to-wear garments. Bust
ness is a great chain of interlocking
enterprises If the grOcers fail or the
house furnishers, or the dealers in any
other commodity, their failure brings
something of disaster into every other
field of commerce The reasonable
prospect, therefore, of the cries now
being sounded for restrictions beyond
the stoppage of waste is a general dis
turbance of business conditions which
will threaten the whole nation with
calamity
Great Britain adopted a slogan at
the outset of the war which American
business men will do we'll to make
their own at this stage of our partici-
patton in the same war. 1t. was "Busi-
ness AS Usual" If the country can
continue its general business substan-
TALLY as usual it can meet the new war
taxes and subscribe to the new war
causes somewhere nearly in accord
ance with its means. But if there is
a panic, the return from the taxes and
the subscriptions to the relief move
ments will both suffer heavily. The
Rotary Clubs of the United States be-
lieve that citizens render patriotic ser
vice in this situation who close their
ears to propositions menacing the nor
NAL business conditions of the coun-
try. Working men who desire to con-
tinue at work, merchants who desire
to keep open their stores as usual,
manufacturers producing wares other
than munitions have a common need
and a common opportunity to serve
their families, their country and their
war, by silencing everywhere alarms
over the effect of the war upon bust
ness and unconsidered movements for
economy.

Proclamation
To the Citizens of Wausau

To the Citizens of Wausau:
The winter just passed, ike all
other winters, has left in many OF our
back yards, cellars and alleys, great
accumulation of rubbish, cans and
other debris, that is in many cases not
only unsightly but unsanitary and haz-
ardous.
I therefore designate the week OF
May 7th as clean up week and ask the
cooperation of all citizens in clean
ing up their premises and streets and
alleys adjacent. l would further sug-
gest that such work be continued
throughout the year and that every
one refrain from throwing cans or
other debris in streets, alleys or vacant
lots adjacent to your own premises
Civic pride should prohibit those so
inclinend from throwing anything on
their neighbours lot that they would
not have on their own.
A little paint applied does much IN
improving the general appearance OF
the city by a continuous clean up and
paint up campaign.
