Dear Fellow Members:
We send you greetings from the
Mountain Volunteer Band. We who
are in Bcrea think Of you often and
trust that you are carrying out some
of the plans made while here.
We feel that you would like to
know something of our work dur
ing the year. Our Band is growing
in number and influence. Seventy
five members have been enrolled
this year. Weekly meetings have
been held and much outside work
has been done.
The Band acted as host to the
conference of mountain preachers
last fall. II sent out a dozen members
To- conduct special meetings in Ows-
Icy County: it sent three members
10 the conference of mountain work
ers at Knoxville: it has conducted
meetings in local churches and held
its annual meeting with the United
Chapel. During the gospel meet
ings in February the members took
n very active part and did much to
add TO the success of those meet
ings.
The weekly meetings have been
Of unusual interest and helpfulness.
The topics have been vitality related
to the work of the mountains. Here
are some Of them:
Good Roads and Dixie Highway
Modern Improvement in the Noun
lains." Mountain Missionary Work"
social Purity" Feeding the Three
Million and Qualities of Leader
Our officers: Oscar Wilson, presi-
dent: Berlie Winton, vice-president;
Miss Margaret Dizney, secretary,
have done excellent work and are
due much praise.
We have just received letters from
number of our former members
who on the whole are successfully
carrying out some of the plans they
made while active members of our
Band.
Two Of our charter members, 5.
Luther Brown. general secretary Of
Miners Y. NJ. G.. A., at McVeigh,
XIV. and ]. Ben Collins, general sec
rotary of Y. NJ. C. A., at Jewel
Ridge, Va. have reported remark
able success. We have also had
splendid reports from d. A. Bow
man. Marion, y. c.; Cotton Fielder,
Palmer, Ky; William Ray. Lancas-
ter, KY; Miss Mamie Sebastian,

reports will likely appear in The

We trust that each members may
be as successful as have these. We
hope to have frequent reports and
encouragement from you; and that
we may remain loyal to each other
and true to Christ, our Greatest
Leader.

Gompers, Supporting
Lever Bill, Attacks
Spectators in Food

The Lever bill, which provides for a
strict Federal supervision of food pro-
duction, storage and prices, received
the hearty Endorsement yesterday of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
The labor leader praised the meas
ure and attacked the flood pirates"
who let the people of the nation suffer
for their speculations.
"Of course" he said, at is realized
that the Lever bill is wide departure
from our American conception of gov
ernmental functions. but so is compul
sorry military service. The people and
the government of the United States
have embarked on a venture to main
tain and defend the principles OF right,
Justice, freedom and democracy for the
peoples of all the world. In this titanic
task there have arisen the financial
pirates, who gamble in and speculate
with the peoples essentials to their
life. The government must come to the
rescue of our people in this life and
death struggle.
"The food pirates have for months
been diligently profiting through the
needs OF the people. Speculation has
forced prices up and food riots have
already occurred in this rich country.
To-day spectators are trying TO buy
ND crops before the plants are out Of
the ground. BY creating human want
these ghouls expect TO coin enormous
profits. Should our government fail to
establish control before crops move to
the elevators and markets the success
of this war and the cause of human
freedom, for which the Allies contend,
will be imperlled."

Neutrality Causes Convul-
sions in Holland, China
and Spain
JUS. Has Great Control
America Accused by the Dan,
ish Press Of Prosecuting
Other Nations
tBy Cahls 20 The rrbunel

London, July Neutrality seems to
be passing through blazing fire at
the present moment. 1t is not alto
gether chance news that comes to-day
of commissions in Holland, China and
Spain.
When the Krupps' paper. the
"Rheinische Westfalische Zeitung." Of
fers German help to Holland "in the
event of violence on the part of Eng
land against her." it is evidently time
that Holland took careful stock Of her
eastern and southern borders, if there
is anything in German tradition. Lord
Robert Cecil talked TO The Tribune
to-day on this situation.
at is obvious that Holland must no,
send potatoes to Germany which she
has agreed to send to Great Britain
There is no room in this situation foI
German complaints" he said.
"On the other hand, when il comes
to the question of any restrictions on
the neutrals which the United States
may choose to impose, it is equally
obvious that il is unreasonable 70 ex-
pect the United States to supply the
neutralS. before herself and the Allies
"Since the institution of the block
ade we have been able to prevent our
own commodities from going to the
neutrals if we so WISHED. Now the
United States is in the same position
Germany is without doubt brandishing
the sword in the direction Of the neu-
trails, but she is not in the same posi-
ton to terrorize them as she was a
few months ago.
at the present moment ! don't be
lieve the neutrals are supplying any
appreciable quantity of imported good;
to Germany, but to some extent
though not great one. they are ex,
porting their own homegrown and
manufactured commodities, principally
copper. nickel and fish.
"As regards the neutrals to-day Hol-
land is nearer her pre-war export to
Germany than Denmark. The United
States now has great control of the
situation. All can say is that in any
