pOJNCARE,s MESSAGE


 Paris, April 5.-President Poincdre of France has sent the following oablegram to President Wilson:
 At the moment when, under the generous inspiration of yourself, the great American republic. faithful to it's ideals and it's traditions, is com ing forward to defend with the force of arms the cause of justice and of liberty, the people of France are filled with the deepest feelings of brotherly appreciation.
 Permit me again to convey to you. MT. President in this solemn and grave hour, an assurance of the same sentiments of which I recently gave you evidence, sentiments which under the present circumstances have grown in depth and warmth.
 q am confident that I voice the thought of all France in expressing to you and to the American nation the joy and the pride which we feel today as our hearts once again beat in unison with yours
 This war would not have reached it's final import had not the United States been led by the enemy himself to take part in it. To every impartial spirit it will be apparent in the fu- ture scales than ever in the past that German imperialism, which desired, prepared and declared this war, had conceived the mad dream of establish : ing its hegemony throughout the world. It has succeeded only in bring ing about a revolt of the conscience Of humanity.
 'In never-to- be-forgotten language, you have made yourself before the universe the eloquent interpreter of outraged laws and a menaced civiliza- tion.
 Honor to you, MT. President, and to your noble country. I beg you to Believe in my devoted friendship

Secretary McAdoo authorized the statement that he thought the government would have no difficulty ir raising the necessary funds but de- clined to indicate the probable methods that will be adopted.

STRIKE, GEN. PUBLIC!

Some loud-voiced agitator ought
to call out the general public on a
strike of protest against the condit-
ion of affairs which forces everyone
to suffer when capital and labor
clash. Yes sir, a General Strike of
the People, with lengthy Jail sem
fences for those who will not con-
sent to a sensible plan of arbitration
without slowing down the public in
terests.
Down in Seattle this week. a few
people were involved in street car
strike, and fused around for days in
an effort to argue it out-while the
three hundred and some thousand
citizens walked.
Strike while Everybody's hot alb
out it, is our advice to timid old

Why Not Be Kind7

Perhaps 1t Is rough old world.
With much of gloom and hate,
And maybe all the folks that live
Arc not exactly straight
And some may grumble over much,
And some may cheat and lie.
But it may help little bit
If square and true am |.
The world needs more of cheerfulness

If mirthful | would be.

On earth for all to find,
And it might do Il lot of good
