Dear General: Our country IL at war
with what / consider to be the most
| thoroly trained and equipped military
power that the world has ever seen.
We must win the war; In order to
win 1t, every loyal and patriotic Amer
lean citizen must be prepared to make
all needed sacrifices There must
be no half hearted support OF the gov
ernment In any quarter. Those who
are not with us in this conflict are
against us. They should be dealt with
so expeditiously and 80 severely that
those who would be inclined to preach
and talk sedition and treason will have
the fear of God installed In their
hearts and 30 be deferred from their
reasonable course. This is no time
to litsen to the vaporing of pusillanu-
nous pacifists or disloyal pro-Ger-
mans. They ought to be promptly de-
ported and sent to their friends I'm
Germany. That In where they belong;
there is no place in this republic for
them at this time. The entire coun-
try will stand behind the president In
whatever steps he may take to muzzle
effectively and promptly such dis
loyal reprobates
THE lessons of this war must not
be lost on the American people. Once
again we are caught in a frightful
state of unpreparedness. A bill for
universal training of American youths
must be enacted in the coming ses-
sion of congress. Such legislation is
the natural corollary of the selective
draft legislation. 1t is appalling to

Hon. julius Kahn Makes a
Strong Appeal for Univer-
sal Training.

Hon. Julius Kahn, member of con-
gres from California. in n letter to
Lieut-Gen. s. b. NJ. Young, United
States army, retired, president of tho
National Association for Universal
Military Training, and commander
in-chief of the military order OF the
Loyal Legion of the United States,
makes a strong and inspiring appeal
for loyal Americanism and universal
military training. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Kahn was the spokes-
man on the floor Of the house of rep
resentatives of president Wilson dur
ing the fight over the passage Of the
draft law. 1t was his voice more than
any other which won the Democratic
victory in congress for sane military
policy for the present emergency.

We woke to a foggy morning. The
men thot they were on the way to
Paris. But we had come to the city of

the guns off the wagon, and marched
seventeen kilometers to the town Of

of barn. Men had been billeted there
before US. and by morning l had a
ring of white welts around by ankle
from lice. We lived there for three
days with those visitors that didn't
appear on the roll-call. And for nine
days we never took our clothes off.
The boys were advised to slip off
their revolvers. We rented kitchen

words of French, bat we got
the kitchen and we slept there in the
room with the guns. We stayed five
days in the place with the main horse
line of the battery. The horses had
large appetites and ate up caissons
and any other leather stuff. One man
came In and reported with his over
coat in rags. He said he was sorry,
but his horse had got hungry in the
night.

learn from the records that so per
cent OF our boys are physically unfit
for military service. Universal train
ing would materially remedy this con-
dition. Under such a system our boys
would be taught hygiene and SANTA
ton. among other things. The sys-
tenn would develop a more robust, q
more physically fit body OF citizens.
"Your organization, 1 hope. will
bend all its energies to achieve the
successful enactment OF such law.
All patriotic citizens should work for
1t. We have been too slow in taking
the necessary steps for its enactment.
We must lose no time. Our country
has too much at stake to neglect the
matter longer.
There Is much else I should speak
of were l personally present But I
hope these few vagrant remarks may
meet with the approval of your col
leagues Sincerely yours, julius

at 6l5. Life is blank after the active
hours
In the morning we dug emplace-
ments for the guns. We were sup
posed to wait till the four guns were
dug in. But when the first gun was
nested the boys couldn't wait to get
the rest ready. They had to let the
Boches know they had come. At A
p. m. on October "a they sent the first
shell fired by an American battery
from an American dug emplacement.

The First Shot.
Here's the first shot we're handing
to the Germans" they said, and they
all agreed 1t had to kill at least thirty
six men.
One man said our aim was bad.

claimed, ''you'H see a German pop up

They gave me the case of the first
shell. l carried it on my belt. where

fired five rounds before supper. They
used French seventy-fives.

was the order, and they chalked the
gun shield.
Another battery fired sooner than
we did, but not from an American
dug emplacement They fired from
an orchard. The case of that shell
went to President Wilson.

When our American troops started
for the front we fed them every four
hours for forty-eight hours. They came
in cold and tired and thirsty. We had
six hundred loaves of bread for them,
twelve cases of jab with "a
cans in a case, and three hundred
pounds of coffee. We had two cheeses,
weighing one hundred and eighty
pounds each. We took a location on
the Quai, set up stoves, n boiler and
served real American coffee. We gave
the coffee away. For sandwiches we
charged 25 centmes. They cost us 35

of such a plan has brought about ex- cellent results. but it has been fought tooth and nail by those who are op- posed to the introduction of any plan which would overcome the slipshop method of doing business in the past.
 New attention is directed to the budget by the action which has been taken in Maine. where Governor Mill
 iken coming to office with some ex- cellent ideas in mind proceeded to put 1t into effect and from the little or no resistance which it encountered it is surprising that it was not undertaken before.
 Maine Is thus going to know where it stands at the start. It does not propose to go ahead and appropriate it's money for every proposition that is presented seeking financial assist ance without first having more or less definite idea of what it has to do with. In other words it proposes to cut it's garment according to the cloth. It marks a new era in that state but it will doubtless prove of such value that there will be no return to the old method of transacting state business.
 The budget system is the business like method of doing business. It is good for the town and good for the city, and there is no reason why it should not be good for the state and the nation, and the sooner 1t is adopt ed the quicker will the end be made tos large financial wastes and needless taxation

BREAKING RELATIONS.

When President Wilson, after con- sultation with his advisers and mem bers of the senate decided to break off diplomatic relations with Germany, by handing Ambassador Bernstorff his passport and recalling Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. it was the only course which lay open to him under the circumstances It was entirely consistent with the contentious and stand of this government in the past. It was in accord with the assurances of the United States that it would do this very thing if Germany did not abandon the methods of submarine time and which were far from being in accord with the laws of nations and the rights of humanity.
 That this is what Germany had ex- pected and planned on is indicated by the statement of Ambassador Bern storff when he said 'I am not sur prised. My government will not be surprised either. The people in Der lin knew what was bound to happen if they took the action they have taken.'' And in addition he ventured the remark that There was nothing else for the United States to do'' and that certainly describes the situation. It was perfectly plain and President Wilson could reach no other conclu- sion which caused him to say in his address to congress this government has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States but to take the course which, in its note of April Is it announced that 1t would take"
 It is action which cannot fail to have the approval as well as the sup port of the whole nation, and while it is hoped that it will result in noth- ing worse we cannot disregard or re- fuse to insist upon our rights, or over- look the situation we face.

TRAVELLING CAP.

A very practical cap. which will prove most useful to a woman when travelling, is made along very simple lines. One seen was made of light blue silk muslin one yard long and half a yard wide. The material was gathered across one end and fastened to a button an inch in diameter. The button was covered with old rose sat- in and outlined with tiny pink French roses. The other, end of the strip of material was slit through the middle for a. distance of seven inches, the raw edges being neatly henmed.- The two ends were gathered and each caught to a loop of fine white elastic. The button marks the front of the cap. After it is placed on the head the two ends are drawn around to the front and the elastic loops are fast ened over the button
 The cap was neatly tucked away in in a little bag made of blue silk mus lin, too. In the bottom of the bag was a mirror, which could be convenient ly adjusted to assist the wearer in draping the cap around her head

ODDS AND ENDS.

Put the shoe on the last, take a flat iron not too hot and a piece of wax; cut it in chips, put the wax on the sole of the shoe, then iron the sole with the wax on it; put enough wax so it will be all soaked in the leath- CT. This is very handy way of pre- serving your shoes when you don't wear rIbberS.

SEPARATE SKIRTS.

The popularity of the long coat has most certainly smoothed the way for the separate skirt, and there is wide variety in the styles and materials used for the large assortment of skirts offered.
 Soft skirts are used for draped mod els Fancy silks, novelty materials. plaid and striped serges, poplins and velours are successfully manipulated into pleated models, each ene having an individual style and all very at tractive.
 Box pleats are used in connection with narrow cluster side pleats, while a side pleated skirt of plaid may have an inserted founce on the bias. This idea is very smart.
 Sport skirts appear in Navajo red, gold, green and purple. One model of Navajo red has shirred pockets over either hip and from each pocket the material falls in cascade drapery eff

LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC.

There have been opportunities if he
 was so disposed for Charles E. Hughes to have offered his mind up- on certain questions since the cleo tion of last November. He like many others could have told what he would have done. why he would not have done what others have done and given his reasons for it. but he has shown better judgment. The silence which he has maintained since he sent his telegram of congratulations to the president has been to his credit.
 Not untiI' it became apparent that the break in diplomatic relations was inevitable did he attempt to offer any criticism one way or the other, and even then what he had to say was not in the way of criticism but a good strong word in behalf of patriotism and loyalty, for he said at the Brown alumni dinner, "It is 8 solemn hour, an hour in which there is in the heart of no American citizen any par tisan thought We are all Americans tonight, Standing Loyalty behind the president upon whom the great re- sponsfbilfty rests. It is not time to embarrass in any degree, by any private utterances. those who have the responsibility. They have the facts. They have the duty. They have our sincere loyal cooperation"
 Such is the attitude of the man who stands for his country's welfare. It was only what was to have been ex- pected of the defeated candidate for the presidency of the United States. He has set an example for a great many people fin this utterance as in many others. It is an exhortation to patriotism which cannot go unheeded. It voices the sentiment of the nation now after the president has act ed even as it did before

WISE ACTION.

It was a wise and timely suggestion which was made to the states of Ida ho and Oregon when the advisability of postponing action on the proposed bills restricting the rights of Japanese In real estate was pointed out to them. These states have apparently taken up the Japanese problem along with California There may be a feeling that too many from the land ofsthe mikado are getting a foothold there and that there is need of greater restriction, but it must be apparent to those states that this is not the time to agitate such matter, from the quick response which they made in dropping the bills.
 Such legislation cannot be expected to be pleasing to Japan and this country has enough problems on it's hands without inviting any more through legislation by states which does not need to be enacted now There will be time later on when such matter can be considered on its merits and not interfere with any other international <questions, and that is when 1t should be dealt with but at the same time the step which is proposed by those states betters be left to the diplomatic channels of the two nations involved for when such laws are passed they involve not solely the states but the whole nation.
 But at the same time it would be poor policy to raise the question vixen much more important ones are being faced. The wisdom of delaying ac- ton could not help but make it's ap- peal to these western states and it would be unreasonable to believe that under the circumstances they would have done anything different than what they did.
