THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There is nothing OF special Importance
to relate for the past week. There have
been the usual assaults and counter.as-
saults along the lines in northern
France In these the British have been
more generally successful while the
French have lost front line of trenches.
Movements of the Salonlka army in
Greece promise some more active work
there. The King of Greece has abdlca-
ted and the country is now practically
under the control of the entente allies.
AS there ls 10 longer much danger of
trouble for the rear of the Salonika army
they will probably attempt the forward
movement so long expected.
Russia appears to be gradually settling
down to peaceful arrangement of local
government, with the idea that they can
better settle social questions after the
war and the defeat OF Germany. But
we may expect but little active fighting
of the army for some time as the revo.
luton badly demoralized it's discipline.
The submarines sank larger number
of British ships this week than for some
weeks previously, though they have not
again reached the high total of the first
week in April. England is now less pes
slmistic about the food supply.
-Seports are to the effect that the crops
in Germany are looking poorly owing to
a long drouth. Anything like total
failure of crops in Germany would al.
most certainly end the war, bu, of course
such reports must be taken with some
doubt.
In the u S. preparation is the order
of the day in all departments of the gov
ernment which will shortly culminate in
a great army and great supply of NUM-
tions and other necessities of war.
The Liberty Loan is said to be over
subscribed by nearly billion.

July FOURTH AT PEMbINA
Red Cross Interests to have Com
plete Charge that Day.
Good Program.

the Red Cross Fund, and you will here
be given an opportunity to assist laud-
able undertaking. You are aware of the
nation. wide campaign for assistance in
the Red Cross work. and this will be
your opportunity to do your share.
This will be Red Cross Day in many
senses. We must all help in the work
which is before us. and those of US who
are not privileged to 60 to the front can
and must render some service at home.
Through the Red Cross association we
can do our bit in an effective and organ
lied manner. 1t is needless to say that
this will be the largest thing of simi.
lar nature ever attempted by the people
of Pembina and we ask our friends and
height bors to help us make 1t success.
BE present and testify in that way to
your willingness as an American citizen
to do your share.
We hope to make this day long to
be remembered and it will undoubtedly
be- the sanest, most rational, patriotic
and effective observance of our national
holiday ever experienced by the good
people Of the section in which we live.
Your presence will contribute to its
success. Be here.

OUR MOTIVE

We may be right, possibly we may be
wrong in going to war. We are but
human, we may have made mistakes; we
may now be making mistakes.
But let no man either in this country
or in any other country, impugn our
motives. There is no mistakes there.
We have the most wonderful spectacle
of great nation going into war for only
one purpose and that not for any selfish
aggrandizement in any form.
While primarily certain specific acts
of Germany caused US to declare war
it is considerable that even these wanton
and criminal acts could have been left
to the courts of diplomacy If they con-
cerned this country alone. But the
United States stands at the head of all
the neutral nations, who locked to us,
the most powerful nation, to right these
wrongs not only for ourselves but for all
neutral nations and for all time.
Suppose, for instance, that Germany
fearing the power end preparations of
this country. sent over ambassadors
with proposals for peace on the basis
that hereafter no American ship should
be sunk by German submarine, would
the people of this country accept such a
peace? We know that we would not.
This is a peculiar war in many re-
spects. One is that we are fighting side
by side with other nations but not as
allies. They are lighting for their own
special purposes in most of which we
sympathise, but in others we have no par.
ticular interest. Our real allies are the
small neutral nations who have not the
power to protect themselves and per.
haps are situated in so close proximity
to Germany as to make 1T very danger
Gus for them to attempt to put up a
fight.
AS far as the British, French and
Italians are fighting for the democracy
of the whole world we are their allies,
and for this purpose only have we join
ed arms and armies.
Our motive and we believe our nat
ional mission is to make the whole
world free and as said by President
Wilson in his Flag Day speech, and in
this we include the German people. No
greater thing is desired in the outcome
of this war by US than the establish
ment of the great republic of Germany.
and sometime the German people
themselves will be willing and glad to
know that our motives to them are
ever now most friendly.
1t may take time to prove our motives
practical but we know noy that they are
unselfish.

Sons when the country calls you show
heart of man and even of a hero;
give yourselves wholeheartedly and with.
out reserve, proud of being sons or
grandsons of those warriors who fought
this country free and made it such as
you have learned to love q. !. the land of
the free, the land of the great. But as
everyone of us, old and young, men and
women, must be loyal and patriotic, SO
must everyone do their bit. AS we have
received all we have in this country and
from this country so we must now take
all we have, life, property, physical and
intellectual powers and offer all to the
country to defend it's rights and help
the great cause of our country now in
need.
Help the noble work of the Red Cross
personally and fnancially. Thousands
of Our allies have been wounded by the
foe. They are our brothers in arms,
their cause is now ours, these then need
our immediate help and succour. Soon
our own sons will stand in the fire line
and many of them will be carried on the
stretchers to the hospitals. Shall we
not help those soldiers in pains and suf-
ferings by helping the grand work of the
Red Cross? Surely you will for the God
of love and charity not to say your own
noble feelings of kindness and patriotism
urge you on to it.
But IN another way you necessarily
must help the cause of our allies and
our own. n. ]. by raising as much food as

single ounce of food each day in every
home means yearly waste Of nearly 500
million pounds of food. The waste Of a

WHY?

Any person who still doubts that this
country had not sufficient reason to 60
to war with Germany should thought
fully read the speech delivered by Pres.
dent Wilson at Washington on Flag Day,
June 14th of last week. It is summing
up of very long series of breecbes of
international courtesy and international
law and in very many different direc-
tions. Some of these alone could have
been passed over as minor though dis.
agreeable incidents, but together make
an exceedingly damaging indictment.
While the submarine ruthlessness
policy was the eliminating point and a
direct challenge, yet the catalogue of
other unfriendly acts gwen by the presi-
dent, together are equally sufficient for
cause of war. They would be sufficient
I'm themselves to brand us nation of
towards If we refused to stand up for
.our rights.
The most pacific of men will fight
when the circumstances are to him suf
fcient-and this is true nationally as
we'll as individually. Therefore the only
real question in the case of the present
declaration of war is whether we have
had sufficient provocatlon, whether we
are fighting a war. of aggression or a war
Of self-defense.
The Presidents catalogue of Ger
many's crlmlnality ought to be sufficient
to satisfy any ordinary person that we
had stood all we should or could, and
that we had refrained from war until we
had found ourselves in iminent danger.
We sometimes wonder, what the SO.
called "pacifists" would consider suffici-
ent reasons for war. if we have not
enough now. Personally. we think if
they had had friends drowned in the
sinking of the "Lusitana" or other ships,
If they had personal friends or relatives
in Belgium, or some others Of the Eur.
opean countries who have suffered from
German atrocities, if the German bomb
conspirators now in prison convicted on
their own confessions of attempting to
murder American workmen in factories
or on shipboard, or if in any similar
manner they had come in direct personal
contact with these German villanies-
whether they would still be ''pacifists." !"
The trouble with these people they
are theorizing without reference to act
ual facts. They don't believe IN war
and thst's right; they don't want to fight
and that's also right, but that Is all

Communication.

My dear people. the die is cast. Our
beloved country, the land of freedom
and liberty has been forced into the
maelstrome of world struggle. AS
loyal citizens of America we have enjoy.
ed It's blessings. it is just and fair there.
fore that animated by the same loyalty
we stand by our cherished country now
it is in need. In life and death, in joys
and trials, in prosperity and adversely,
our hearts must beat fast and strong f6r
our first love, the land of our adoption
or birth, our great America.
The coward yields and sneaks whilst
the truly loyal and patriotic citizen
shows his colors proudly, openly and
energatically now when peace and liber-
ty and happiness Of our beloved America
are at stake. Loyalty and patriotism In
time of peace only is fake, cursed lie
and shameful hyprocity, but to be loyal
and full of fiery patriotism just nov is
the highest test of our noble hearts and
devotedness to our country.
Actions speak louder than words.
Our words must be at this time especi.
ally more prudent and full Of charity as
uncharitibliness and imprudence in our
speech can do no good but great deal
of harm as it may needlessly hurt the
feelings Of persons who in fact are
equally loyal and have just as much
right to be called good citizens Of Am.
erica. Actions speak louder. Show
your actions my dear people. Mothers
If you are called upon to give your son
or sons to defend the rights and freedom
Of your beloved country, make the sacri.
fee with q great heart and soul. Be
like another "Mother Of the Machabees''
who heroically sacrificed oil her sons for.
tho good cause.

Patriotism, loyalty and service are the
watchwords Of the day, and in keeping
with the true meaning OF such words,
the people of Pembina have taken it up
on themselves to provide the opportu-
nifty for all to get together in great
patriotic observance Of our national
holiday. The assurances of our trends
and nelghbors in adjoining cities Of their
intention to be present justifies US In say
ing that on July 4, there will be one of the
greatest gatherings of patriotic people
ever witnessed in this section.
The program of the day will be of a
patriotic nature in every sense. This is
not year of celebration, but rather of
commemoration and consecralion and the
exercises of the day will be strictly in
keeping with that idea.
We have all tried to do our patriotic
duty in increasing the food supply of
our nation and with the bountiful rain
which we have had it looks as though
nature would now do her share, and
that our efforts were not in vain. There
fore. let us get together on our national
holiday and give expression to the patti
riotism which is inherent in every true
American citizen.
In the morning there will be an inn.
pressive street pageant, which will be
made up of floats typifying those things
which should arouse and intensity the
love of country which is the outstanding
characteristic of the American people,

in the city will be represented and con.

CHARTER HITCH
IS POLICE Chief

With but minor amendments, includ-
ing some of those proposed by the
Chamber Of Commerce. Representative
Iorrin Andrews city charter bill has
practically been accepted by the Oahu
delegation Of the house, barring one
section on which now hinges q mild
disagreement, or rather an uncer'
!, tainty.
Every section of the charter bill,
with the exception of the one proyid-
ing for the appointment Of q chief Of
police by the mayor with the approval
of the board OF supervisors, has been
passed, it was learned today, the semi
final windup having come at a meet
ing OF the delegation yesterday after
noon.
Point Remains Unsettled
The difficulty now confronting the
delegation is, the provision regarding
the chief of police. The problem for
the delegation to solve is to provide
for chief. Of police with jurisdiction
throughout the island of Oahu, or to
turn the powers back into the hands
of the sheriff, who now holds them.
One member Of the delegation says
1t was understood that the idea was
to have the mayor appoint chief of
police only for the district OF Homo
lulu, deputy sheriffs to have control
of police in the outside districts on
this island. But now the matter has
simmered down to the question of
whether the chief shall be vested with
all the powers, or whether there be no
provision for the creation of this Of
flee.
Department Heads Eisctec
The delegation has agreed that the
heads of departments shall be elected
by the people, and not appointed by
the mayor and supervisors. 1t has
been further agreed, as announced in
the Star-Bulletin yesterday, that there
shall be six instead Of seven super
visors. three from the fifth and three
from the fourth district. When the
vote was taken on the supervisors yes
terday, only six members were pres
ent, four voting for and two against.
1t was learned today. however, that
two other members went to the meet
ing later and agreed with the majority
on this point
superintendent 70 be appointed
Another charter provision that has
been agreed to is that regarding the
superintendent of city works. The
Star Bulletin is informed that the dele:
cation has agreed that the superin-
tendent shall be appointed by the
mayor with consent Of the board of
supervisors.
Asked what was done with the
amendments proposed by the Cham.
Der of Commerce, member Of the
delegation said today:
wherever possible, and wherever
it was thought feasible and In the best
interests Of Sthe voters, the Chamber
amendmehtH were adopted"

this week.
