PATRIOTIC WORK
TO MAKE CAMP AND TRENCH
CONDITIONS BETTER
MEET SUCCESS.

The city of Madison is being prod
ded into giving today, "a men with
sharpened pencils advancing in Skin
mish line, routing the reluctant dol
lar from its stronghold in garnet, cell
lar, home or dug-out. The workers
for the Army Y, M. c. A. are mill
tant. And while they are enthusiast
lie over the results of the days raid,
the total for the one united effort is
not available as the papers forms are
closed.
The committee and many con-
scripted men gathered in the rooms
of the Merchants association last
night, and the plan of the work was
announced by County Chairman John
w. Walden. Yesterdays plan had
resulted in complete satisfaction, and
the one evolved for today PROCESSES as
great results. Each ward was given
to three teams of two men each, the
"a men expecting to cover the city
territory in a house to house canvass
before night.
In urging the necessity for the
work H. H. Holdridge and S. T. May
addressed the men, explaining the
use of the money and the causes for
existing conditions. There was the
opinion expressed that the end of the
war was remote, and that this would
not be all the money that would be
asked for, nor by any means the last
cause to need help. We must come
to a realization of the situation, and
the sooner that is accomplished, the
better will be our ability to cope
with future war conditions. We are
promised a wal of from three to five
years duration.
The former belief is torpedoed that
a man once enlisted under the colors
was a fighting unit until killed or
wounded. 1t is now recognized that
his efficiency is measured in degrees
of health and vitality. The cam
paigners today are skirminshing for
the money to help in retaining this
health and vitality that the normal
life of the military camp and training
induces. and make ii available for
use in the fighting force.

HEARD BRAINY Man
TELLS OF COUNTRY NEEDS
THE WAR TO BE LONG
AND HARD.

One of 35 four-minute men who
partook of a banquet yesterday noon
at the Carpenter hotel in Sioux Falls
and listened for two hours to a talk
by one of the foremost thinkers and
editors of the time, HI. H. Holdridge
said this morning that it was one of
the most inspiringly PATRIOTS adj
dresses he had ever heard. Charles
Edward Russell, editor and traveller,
and former exponent of the socialist
cause, gave an hour to his audience
in direct address, then accorded them
the privilege of asking him questions
for another hour. Not once did he
hesitate for an answer to any sensi-
BILE question.
Mr.. Russell stated that the war
vas to be a long, hard pull. Ger
many is by no mean exhausted, hav-
ing a wonderful reserve of money,
men and food. The money is raised
directly, the men got from Bulgars
and Turks, and the food from the
south and east, and from her own
wonderful and compelling method of
conservation.
The speaker was in Holland at the
time the war broke out, and went at
once to Belgium. He says that no
description can ever picture the
atrocities committed by the oncoming
hordes of partially thrwarted world
conquerors. 1t was the plan, says
Mr.. Russell. to enter Paris in 16
days. turn and conquer Russia, and
have dominion over the continental
world within 60 days. A position
was mapped for every hour, and their
rage and vindictiveness knew no
bounds at the presumption of Bel
GUM, which by opposing the advance
saved the world from Teutonic do
minion, by jumbling the schedule.
In both Belgium and Holland he
attached himself to the United States
legation, and in that position was
told by stranded American people of
their troubles. Women, h~ysterical
with memories or apprehension of
what might happen, told him tales
of wanton savagery which caused
him to see scarlet. He feared that
the people of this country would be
reused to the same pitch of excite
ment and fear as were the unfortun-
ates caught within the area of war.
What was his surprise to find on his
arrival home that we did not even
know of it, thanks to Count Bern
torff and $4,000, 900 spent in spread.
ing propaganda.
Mr.. Russell has visited the war
ring nations three times since the be.
ginning of the war. He has Away:
been a close student of politics ant
social conditions. He holds no hop,
for an early ending of the war. He
foresees a long war, a costly war anC
a bloody one. With his personal ex
perience as a result of his frequen'
visits he pleads for a realization o.
the reality of the situation and thu
necessity of devoting u whole en-
ergy to the one end of Strengthening
our political organization and fight
ing force to a far superior degre'
over that of the enemy, and of keep
ing doggedly at it until the bite
end.

BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
Frenoh and English FraternIxe ~
They Have Not Done for More
Than q Century.

Some months ago an old man
called at the French embassy and
asked to gee the ambassador. M.
Cambon saw him, and the man pro-
duced little square of old red silk.
He explained that this was part of
a tricolor flag captured at Waterloo
by party of soldiers which includ-
ed his grandfather. They had cut
up the flag, and this piece had been
treasured in the family ever since.
The old man felt that he could no
longer keep it, and wished to hand
It back to our friends the French.
Another gift at the embassy was
no less curious. A visitor called,
carrying a heavy, fiat case. He
opened it in the presence of the am
bassador and showed fine picture
by Greuze, which he asked the am
bassador to receive as a gift to
France. The donor said that it had
been in his family for some time,
and he wanted now to present it to
France for French museum, or to
be sold for the French hospital
funds, or anything they wished. He
refused to give his name, and left
no clue to his identity but the pic
ture.-Manchester (Eng.) Guard

DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.

Twenty thousand dollars day are
spent in New York for champagne.
This is not guess but carefully
prepared estimate based on figures
furnished by the big liquor and i'm
porting houses. Before the Civil
war gentlemen served carefully pre-
served and personally cared-for
wines, but with the mad rush for
precedence that followed the Civil
war and the forced nomadic propen-
sites of succeeding generations, it
became impossible to keep wine for
ten or twenty years before being
served. That is the real reason why
champagne is the fashionable drink
today.

"Mr. Smith," said the employee,
In response to the interrogative look
OF the other, "I came TO speak to you
about my salary"
"Your salary!" quickly interposed
the boss. "What is the matter with
your salary?"
