HOME GUARDS HAD FIRST
DRILL WEDNESDAY NIGHT
MANY Came to See, Get interested and
Decide to Join the Ranks

Several meetings have been held in
the past but Wednesday night those
who were in favor OF the movement
wanted to do something-show on
which side their sympathies were, got
together and had their first lesson in
military tactics and training. They
liked it and wanted more. A lot that
came to look on got interested and
signed their names to the roster and
will in the future be on hand to learn
how soldiers are made. So that if their
country ever needs them they will be
good for something better than just be
able to stop bullet. Oh, it was a
fine sight to see some old fellers in the
ranks. They probably thought they
might become soldiers some day--leave
them with their delusion. They do no
harm and may by their example set
lesson in patriotism-a willingness to
do their bit for the land that will make
slackers ashamed and arouse in the
breast OF the youths spirit Of loyalty
to our government and its institutions
so that they will become better citizens.
The members Of company G State
troops, stationed here to guard railroad
property, took charge and divided the
the Home Guards in squads OF eight
and put them thru lively first lesson.
There will be another meeting tonight
in the same place, John Bjork's build
ing, on Front street. After the
rudiments are acquired the meetings
will be held in the open.
II you are interested, or want to join
the movement come out tonight. We
are only doing what is being done in
every village and hamlet in the United
States, showing that we are willing to
do our bit if the country that gave US
birth needs our services.

AUTOMOBILES CRASH NEAR
PESHAST|N LAST SUNDAY
Several Members of One Party Receive
Bad.Buises-Too Much Booze and
Speed the Cause

While on their way to Wenatchee
last Sunday to attend the gun club
shoot Messrs. J. B. Adams, Charles
Eckhart, Len Hart and A. A. Pinch
came upon an auto wreck at the north
end OF the Wenatchee river bridge,
four miles east of Peshastin. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Y. Stephens were on their
way to Leavenworth and met party
OF four on their way to Monitor from
Leavenworth. Ellis Mckee was at the
wheel, and tho Mr.. Stephens gave
more than half the road the car driven
by Mckee. going at high rate of
speed, struck Stephens car and took
the hind wheel of. He however lost
two OF his wheels and the party OF four
were thrown out OF the car and all
bruised more or less. Two members
of the party had their faces cut. The
Mckee car was also pretty badly
damaged. From four or FIVE parties
who happened along before the wreck
was cleared up and had a good
opportunity to size the situation up we
learn that the wreck was due to intox-
ication on the part OF those in the Nc
Kee car. He could easily have avoided
a wreck il he had been going at
moderate speed and been willing TO
observe the rules Of the road and give
half the road. All say the wreck was
due to the driver OF the Mckee car.
That be was in the wrong is admitted
as he agreed to pay all the damage to
the Stephens car.

THE BIG LUMBER MILL
BEGAN SAVING TUESDAY
intention is to Begin Running Day and
Night BY the Middle of May.

The saw mill Of the great Northern
Lumber Co., begun reducing logs to
lumber last Tuesday. The operation
this week will be confined TO running
the north side band saw but by next
week the south side will be in operation
unless something unforeseen intervenes.
Under the supervision Of Jos. S. Quigley
the company now has sixty men in the
woods falling timber. The delivery of
this will begin next week. At this
time the mill is running on logs that
were left in the mill pond which is
being cleaned up Of all the old stock
Of logs.
Many changes have been made in
the mill since it ran two years ago.
The incinerator in which all the un-
salable refuse from the lumber is burned
has been changed so that it is now
practically impossible for sparks to
escape and cause a fire. The log de-
livery slide has been entirely rebuilt,
and on an extension to the south end
Of the mill drag saw has been in
stalled to cut logs the desired length.
Under the present method all logs will
be delivered to the mill the full length
Of the tree. Some other changes have
been made, all with the purpose Of
making the Great Northern Lumber
Co.'s mill a modern saw mill in every
respect. Mr.. Starbird, the super
intendent, who has had wide experience
in the saw mill business on the west
coast, having been connected with
some of the largest mills on the coast,
says the G. N. mill will compare with
the best equipped in the country.

GERMAN WHO HOLDS LAND
ADOPTION ABOVE GERMANY
German People All Right-SeeS ia
KaiSerism a Menace to Peace OF
World.

Because this American-German has
vision and sees clarly what German
victory would mean to freedom, as We
in the United States understand
freedom, we are re-printing letter
written by c. Kotzenable to the
Chicago Tribune.
Among other things Mr.. Kotzenable
says: "As a German by birth it is a
horrible calimity that l may have to
fight Germans. But as I am an Am
erican by preference I can see no
other course.
For 25 years Germany has shown
dislike for the United States-the
Samoan affair, the Hongkong contre-
temps, the Manila Bay incident,
the unguarded words Of the Kaiser
himself, and, lastly, the Haitian con-
troversy in 1914.
whether it is right or not, pleasant
or not, the fact remains that the
interests of the two countries have
frequently conhicted. And it has not
been from mere commercial or dip
lomatic friction. 1t is because their
ideals OF government are absolutely
opposite. One or the other must go
down: It is for US to say now which it
shall be. Because OF my birth, and
feelings beyond control, have no par
ticular love for the French and less for
the British. But by strange irony OF
fate see these nations giving their
blood for principles which l hold dear
against the wrong principles Of people
I individually love.
1T sickens my soul TO think Of this
nation going forth to help destroy
people many Of whom are bound to me
by ties of blood and friendship. But it
must be so. 1t is like dreadful
surgical operation. The mililaristic
undemocratic demon which rules Ger
many must be cast out. 1t is for us
to do it-NOW.
The mailed fist has been shaken
under our nose before. II Prussianism
triumphs in this way the fist will con-
tinue to shake. We shall be in real

Look For PrOGernan Sentiment

1t behooves anyone that may possibly
harbor any feeling favorable to Germany
at the present time to keep the fact
well hidden. Federal agents are swarm
ing thruout Washington as we'll as the
other states, looking for any pro-Ger-
man sentiment that may crop out. Lists
are being made Of those who make
threats or utter any thing antagonistic
to the United States and transgressors
will be summariIy dealt with.-Ex.

The Potato Crop

It is estimated by prominent crop
statisticans that if every potato now in
the United States were to be planted
and that they would yield a normal
crop, there would still be shortage OF
potatoes for next winter. They advise
that people quit eating potatoes so that
all there are left may be used for seed.
