The Call
BY Or, FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

You have as much sense as the next
man. Use il. Rely on 1t. And it will
grow.
You have two good hands, two good
eyes two good ears, your liver and lights
are in good working order, you have just
as good physical machine as Vincent
Aston. Use them.
You have as much faith as st. Francis
ever had, if you'd use it,
You have as much hope and cheer as
Mark Tapley. Use it.
You have as much strenuosity as
Roosevelt. Use it.
You have as good an education as
Rockefeller had
You can read the same newspapers,
magazines, and books Mr. Howels reads.
You can see the same pictures in the
galleries that Charles Dana Gibson can
see.
You haze AS many funny experiences
as George AIDE.
You have a pen and as much paper as
Rudyard Kipling.
as ever called General Funston.
You have twenty-four hours day,
just the same as Woodrow Wilson.
What's the matter with you?
Why don't you make good?
All the wide seas want ships; where
is yours?
The quarries are full of stone waiting
10 go into houses-the mines are gorged
with ore. the forests are thick with
building material.
Bridges need building, inventions are
pleading to be born, the world is hungry
for interesting books. Build, invent,
writel
Every magazine editor is searching
diligently in his mail for the real story;
send one in.
Every business house is crying for
statesmen. every woman wants a good
husband, children want teachers the
demand for the right man everywhere
is tremendous.
What seems to be your trouble?
What do you mean you have no
chance?
Opportunity's knuckles are all skinned
knocking at your door.
Farmers can't find laborers, house
wives can't find cooks, theatrical man.
ayers can't find the right plays,
churches can't find sufficient pastors.
The scarcest thing in this world is a
man, q real man.

Denby's Big Sacrifice
Has In 1t the Courage
We Have Met Before

Detroit stands twenty-ffth in point
of enlistments for service in the navy.
There is most certainly nothing in
this fact for us to be proud of as city.
There is a great deal in the fact for
us to be ashamed Of.
The United States-OUR country-is
at war.
The future of the United States-OUR
country-depends upon our success in
war.
Before the step was taken which al
ligned us as a belligerent nation against
Germany, it was the privilege of any
American citizen to oppose that step and
to do his utmost to defeat it.
BUT
The step has been taken and it is the
duty of EVERY American citizen now to
be FOR it, and it is, the duty Of every
American citizen who feels he can be
spared, TO come forward. and offer his
services to his flag.
Detroit has been backward.
But Detroit has just had an object les
son, the effect of which should be to place
it up high in the list.
Edwin DENLY has shamed every man
in his city who is eligible and who boasts
he is patriotic.
No commission for this big citizen,
thank you.
A commission he refused.
He enlisted to serve in the ranks and
the reason he did so was explained by him
in four words. "My country needs men"
Ex-congressman, ex-president of the
Detroit Board of Commerce, influential
and prosperous lawyer and well past the
age limit, ED" DENLY heard his coun-
trys call above everything else, as nc
heard it once before. and has answered
it.
There will be few to enlist who will
make the sacrifice that ED" DENLY
makes.
He leaves all to lose all, as an inspira-
ton TO Detroiters and as an evidence Of
faith in his city's red blood, believing it
necessary only for someone to show the
way for many others 10 follow.
And yet. come 20 think of it. what
ED" DENLY has done is only typical of
courageous nature which Detroit knows
well.
We saw with what political courage he

OUTLOOK IN 1917

4 1t is generally considered that Gardiner
High will be represented on the diamond
this season by strong team. The sched-
ule. which has already been published
is a good one. Manager Canter having
been able to secure games with some
schools that are usually represented by
able teams. OF Captain Littlefeld's abili-
ty and Judgment in handling the boys
there is not the least degree Of doubt. 1t Is
now hoped that the game postponed from
last Saturday with Lewiston High may
be played here on Wednesday.
Four veterans will be seen in the lineup.
namely John Cusick. pitcher; Philip
Brisk, Grd base Alton Littleheld. "a bas e
and Edward Gorton, left field. Henry
Heselton and Maurice Dion are the back
stops upon whom reliance may be placed.
For first there are four men, any Of
whom would give satisfaction They are
Frank Hickey, John Heselton, Bernard
Glidden and Clifford Mansir. For short
Frank Burke and Thomas Kelley are
slated Milton Canter and Bernard
Leighton are first choice as outfielders
with owen Sherman, Charles Wolman ami
Julian Mclaughlin as candidates. Tn ad-
