BUT ONE ROAD TO TRAVEL.

Washington. Iowa. Democrat.l
Still, we are not making war on the
German people, except as they stand
for the kaiser We do not care how
much they say the people love the
kaiser. we know too much Of those who
came to America to get away from the
kaiser. If they loved him so, why did
they not remain over there, or go back
now. and help him in his fight, because
he is going to need them.
There are newspapers and bankers
and politicians who are afraid to come
right out and stand for Uncle Sam.
They will learn when It, is too late that
while they were catering to the enc
mics Of our country, they have lost a
lot Of the people who love America.
They will find that it always pays best
to let politics and policy and time
serving go hang. and stand for their
country.
Even the enemies of our country will
despise those who served America
half heartedly. Now is the time for
whole hearted service. Now Is the
time to stand pat for America. Now
is the time that we must have but one
road. There is but one road. See that
you travel that road

BRING ON THE LAMP POST


Agents of spectators. it is reported
already arc canvassing growers in r.
hnois and other states Offering cou-
tracts for the purchase Of potato crops
at 80 cents per bushel. one of the pro-
visions of the contracts being that the
tubers shall not be dug until orders are
received from the purchaser, payment
to be made on crop estimates when the
potatoes are ready for digging. If re-
ports are true. and il can be shown
that the purpose of the spectators is
to control prices, the federal govern
ment should lose no time in bringing
the spectators and their agents to
justice. They are enemies Of the
country and should be treated as
traitors.

State Division No. i
Quuta o6.

The foregoing percentages are sub Jected to further changes, by Rhode Island s new draft apportionment as re- reived from Washington. Monday aft ernoon, whereby Westerly's quota will be 134 instead of 26
 Rhode Islands quota which it must raise for the great national army has been advanced from 1901 to 22i1 an increase. of 40, according to a new draft apportionment by the war de- partment.
 This new apportionment is made because of erroneous calculations in ngur1ng the apportionment among several states, Of which Rhode Island IS one. The difference of 40 is due to a credit given this state in the
 lrst apportionment which did not be- tain members of the National Guard were at that time in the Federal ser vice and did not then constitute a part of the Rhode Island National Guard.
 The actual number of men which this state must provide for the big army is 2432- The additional 221 over and above the net quota represents 10 der a recent ruling of the Provast Marshal. General, must be raised to provide against exemptions between the time the registrants are certified rom the local exemption boards and the time the men are actually accept ed by the army in active service
 In anticipation of the revised quo ta, Col. Webb has. prepared official notice to each board giving it the new quota. These instructions were mail- ed this afternoon and each board will have the information tomorrow morn ing upon which to work
 The First State division, conpris- ing the. entire South county, East Greenwich and West Greenwich of Kent county, bears the heaviest bur den of. the new apportionment The original quota of this division was 26, and the new quota is 134 an in crease of 108 men which must be drawn for service. Although the War Department does not state the reason for the raise 1t is presumed that the change comes because the Westerly Coast Artillery company has been in Federal Service for weeks and no credit could be given. This is also applicable to some other places
