be a smashing job to take Antwerp.
Every fertilization has been rebuilt
by the Germans and every inch of
the thousands acres surrounding the
fortress has been mined. Every trench
under the ground around Antwerp
is lighted by electricity and every
foot of the ground on the surface
is covered by barbed iwre entangle-
ments. such as has never been spread
anywhere else. 1t took the forty-two
centimeter guns of Germany to cause
the fall of Antwerp in October, 1914
Antwerp was then considered more
strongly fortified than any other spot
and as untakable as Gilbralter. But
the German forty-two centimeter
guns had been well located and they
destroyed the walls of the ancient
fortress. The same guns would
destroy the great walls of China But
the German big guns are more avail
able in assault than in defense.
Therefore, Antwerp will fall.
Then If the masses of Germany
have good common sense, they will
dethrone the kaiser and the world
wars will be over. Then the Germans
will have to rebuild BELGIUM and
northern France. They will have to
restore Alsace-Lorraine to France
They will have to pay indemnity to
Belgium, to Serbia, Roumania. When
all these things happen militarism
will be at an end.

DOING SOME ADVERTISING

The Redpath-Vawter people have
number of young men in the city
today putting up lot of special ad.
vertising for the Audubon chautau-
qua which comes next week The
advertising matter has been delayed
and for that reason it has not been
put up before. Banners of all kinds
are now suspended over the main
streets and no one can help but not
ice that something is going to take
place in the city soon
The program this year will be fully
up to the standard and our people
will be highly entertained. The time
to purchase season tickets is now
Not a great deal has been said about
the ticket sale, thinking that people
were so used to buying them that it
would not be necessary Only linn
tied number of tickets are placed on
sale at $500. Next week the tickets
will cost $3.50 after the chautauqua
begins. We would advise all our
people who wish to attend to pur-
chase tickets now and Saturday. The
tickets may be secured at Roberts
drug store, Smiths drug store, First
National Bank, Farmers State Bank,
Jensen & Viewers, Renftle & Reed,
Rasmussen & Jensen and a number
of other places of business.

VISITS FRIENDS

Hon. w. r. Green, of Council
Bluffs. member in congress from the
9th Iowa district, was in the city
Saturday visiting his numerous old
friends. Mr.. Green spoke in Atlantic
the 4th of July and since then he
has been visiting over the district
and looking after some business mat
ters.
Mrs. Green and daughter Margaret
have been in Council Bluffs since the
first of March and Mr.. Green will
probably remain with his family until
the senate gets through with its de-
bate and vote on the food control
bill. The House is so far ahead of
the senate in it's work that the men,
bers have been able to spend a few
weeks at their homes. Mr. Green
expects to return to Washington
about the 81 of this month.
1t is quite probable that there will
be no vacation this year. The pres
ent session will no doubt continue
until time for the next session. At
best the vacation would only be of
short duration.
Mr.. Green is a member of the Ways
and Means committee and it will be
necessary for him to be in Washing
ton much of the time.
His many old friends were glad to
see his once more. They are taking
a great deal of interest in his work
as he is in charge of some important
measures that affect all sections Of
the country.

INDIVIDUAL MUST
WATCH FOR DRAFT
Themselves Informed on
DEVELOPMENTS

| rs ii necessary for me to stay in
Audubon until after the draft"
/ This question is being put to the
| local exemption board by scores OF
local men between the CONSUMPTION
age limits.
"The war department has not Civ
en- me authority to answer such ques-
tions," an exemption board member
said yesterday but believe the gov
ernment's intentions are clear: in the
draft, as in the registration, the bur-
den of responsibility rests with the
individual.
Uncle Sam expects all men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 80 to keep
themselves informed about the Sc
lective draft. The fullest sort of pub
licity has been given to every move
and there is no excuse for a plea of
ignorance.
THE serial numbers which will be
used in making the drawings have
been posted for public inspection and
the government expects every man to
learn his number. So long as he
keeps in touch with the draft activ-
tiles the man who registered may
follow his own inclinations as to stay
ing at home or travelling"
So far as is known here the war
department expects the man who is
drawn for selective service to carry
out the orders of his own accord. He
is expected to keep in touch with his
home district
|, Men who fail to do this. however,
will find that Uncle Sam will not
have much trouble in locating them
On another page of today's Repub-
lican we publish complete list of
all those who registered in Audubon
county together with their official
number. By preserving this issue of
the Republican every man in the
county will be able to learn his own
number. We trust that this infor-
nation will be of help to the young
men, and if this newspaper can be
of any service in securing additional
information for the young men, it
will gladly do so.
Every father and mother in the
county should see that they secure a
copy of today's Republican. We have
number of extra copies which can
easily be secured.

NEXT WEEK Is
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK

We are taking it for granted that
the Redpath-Vawter tent for it's sea-
son of attractions will be pitched on
the Park school grounds, where il
has been seen several times before.
The spot is very desirable because
of the trees and its convenience to
the business part of the city.
The program indicates the num-
bers will be fully up to the standard
of previous years. In addition there
are special numbers that many per-
sons will consider particularly desir-
able. 1t is conceded Kryl's band will
crafty more people than any other,
and every persron in the county, and
those outside who have no other OPP
portunity, should make special plans
to hear this great musical organiza-
ton. 1t is the work of a life time to
produce it.
Mr.. Kryl is shrewd enough, as a
business man, to make up his pro-
gram so that everyone gets taste of
what they like best. That is the only
way to educate the public up to the
standard of what musicians regard as
the really good in music; though the
public will pay its money and have
it's own opinion.
The announcement that Mr.. l..
Hansen, former Kimballton young
man, is still with Kryl's band and
will play with them at their program
in Audubon during CHI Itauqua week.
The band will play Sa .drday July 21.
Mr.. Hansen las been with the band
since last September when he joined
them in Chicago. During the winter
he has received instruction in alto
horn playing from Mr.. Kryl and les
sons on the violin from Miss Kryl
Mr.. Hansen was very we'll known at
Elk Horn and Kimballton and no
doubt his friends will be glad of the
opportunity to visit him for day.

many friends during his residence in
the city and all of them will regret

VISITING OLD FRIENDS

w. c. Elliott for many years an
attorney in this city previous to his
removing to Tacoma, Wash, three
years ago, arrived in the city Tues
day to spend few days with old
friends. He is looking fine, and the
fact that he was a member of the
Washington state legislature last
winter has not aged him to any con-
siderable extent. Mr.. Elliott states
that there is much activity in all
lines of manufacturing along the
coast at this time. The ship building
industry and the lumber industry
are especially active at this time. For
many years times have been dull on
the coast and this new prosperity is
gladly welcomed by all classes of
people.
Mr.. Elliott had some business mat
tiers calling his attention in the east,
and being so near Audubon could not
refrain from coming back for visit,
if it was of only short duration.
