brought upon her by her fidelity to
treaties and by respect for her plight

eminent that it is better to die, if
need be. rather than TO live without
honor Like Patrick Henry, all Bel

me death.
"The courage of my fellow-coun-
trymen has been strengthened by the
sympathy for Our misfortunes which
has been manifested throughout our
great land
American initiative has bestowed
most generous help upon our starv-
ing population, and in offering from
this tribune the expression of graft

pie from starvation.

proposition submitted to the Missouri
State Council of Defense to request
Gov. Gardner to call special SEES
sion of the Legislature to provide
money for the council was with
drawn at conference here today.
Attorney General McAllister told the
council that the voting of the appro-
priation would be useless, since it
would not procure the money, the
use of all available revenues for the
biennial period having been designat-
ed. The proposal was submitted by
Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City.
The problem of raising funds to
carry on the work was solved by an
arrangement under which 20 mem
bers OF the council are to give their
notes for $1,000 each, to be carried
by the Merchants-Laclede National
Bank of St. Louis, with the UNDER
standing that Gov. Gardner is to rec
ommend that the next Legislature
appropriate money to reimburse the
contributors.
The 100000 it is estimated, will
cover the expenses of the council for
the first year.
8. F. Bush, Of the Missouri Pacif-
ic, Walter S. Dickey. George w.
Brown, William H. Lee of St. Louis,
c. w. Thomas of Jefferson City and
Others urged this method of raising
funds.
The council declared that Gov.
Gardner, in the emergency, was JUS
titled in agreeing to ask the Legisla-
ture to make an appropriation to pro-
tect the makers of the notes.
The method of raising the money
was proposed by William H. Lee of
the Merchants-L aclede National
Bank. who said his bank would car
ry the notes at S per cent until the
Legislature made the appropriation.
August A, Busch of St. Louis wired
a contribution of $1,000.

A paper to be issued by the State

Discussing the organization of

tary Saunders says:
$50 far Kansas City and Sedalia
have taken the lead. The Council Of
National Defense is preparing plans
for the general organization of home
guards in Missouri, as we'll as, as
sumo, in other states. These home
guards may be organized without
any authority, but they must place
themselves under the orders of the
Governor in order to become the
of law which has just
been passed by Congress providing
that home guards may receive from
the Government arms unused by reg
