One writer says the Red Cross is a
contradiction to war, but it is glori'

why not mitigate its horrors in eYeEy
way possible, and the Red Cross is the
greatest agency yet devised for that
purpose. Let all help, because all are
involved. Whatever ones views may
have been, there certainly can be no
division of opinion on matter of hui

RECRUITING WEEK FROM

Washington, June 81. - President
Wilson has issued proclamation des.
ignating the week of June 1880 as 70
cruiting week for the regular army
and called upon unmarried men with.
out dependents to enroll for war ser

might be filed promptly.
The proclamation follows:
II hereby designate the period Of

upon unmarried men between the ages

7o,o0o.-Woodrow Wilson" :
Action Asked by Officials.
The Presidents action was taken at
the request of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the
slow rate Of recruiting for the regular
army despite the fact that the War de,
partment's recruiting agencies cover
every section of the country and that
the men are asked to serve only for
the period Of the war.
1t had been hoped the regular ser.
vice could be brought to it's whole war
strength of approximately 100000 by
June 80, which would have permitted
the War department to carry out its
plan regarding the training of all the
forces and also to the dispatch Of ar.
mics to France.
Enrolment 1000 Daily.
For several days, however, the aver.
age enrolment for the army daily has
been little more than 1000 men in.
stead of the 5000 or more the depart
ment hoped to obtain. .
The latest recruiting bulletin shows
that since April Z, 1853 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers Of the
183,898 necessary to bring the service
to war strength. The army, therefore,
is now about 10000 men short Of war
strength, and the Presidents call, the
first he has made directly for war vol.
unteers, is designed to I'LL this gap as
quickly as possible.

Frank B. Willis, former governor
of Ohio, who is to deliver an address
at ChautauQua, is considered to be one
of the foremost orators in the ranks
of the Republican party. His speech
nominating the Hon. Theodore Burton
of Ohio for the presidency at the Chi
cago convention in 1916, was the ora
torical masterpiece of the convention
and secured for Mr.. Willis himself
four votes for the nomination although

During the critical days of the past
year great crowds have been attracted
to Gordon's church because of his
fiery and eloquent addresses, on sub
jects related to the great war. He is
thoroughbred American and he does
not hesitate to wave the Stars and

flag and in American institutions. He
declares that our flag is the prophecy
of better days to come, and asserts
that it is humanity's hope.

What is necessary for the people to
watch, is that under the guise of war
need and claimed as indispensable, leg
ialation may be passed which has no
reference to war matters and which
would be entirely indefensible in time
Of peace. Attempts to emasculate anti
trust laws or to weaken child labor
laws and to change laws relating to
women in industry and to hours Of Ia
Dor, are cases in point. The reaction.
aries are alert and will take advantage
of the situation if they can.

Its scope is nationwide and all Ger

Fourth Of july in 1898 was a great
celebration in Little Falls. The nation
was at war with foreign power for
the first time since the Mexican war,
the sons of the Blue and the Gray had
mingled on the battlelelds of Cuba,
and the nation had been thrilled with
Dewey's victory at Manila. So Little
Falls had an unusual celebration, in.
Guiding a naval battle on the river. We
are at war again, not with a compare.
lively small power, but with the mi ght,
lest military power the world has ever
known. We need, in these days of
stress, when the nation is getting ready
to enter strife the consequences of
which no man can foresee. to celebrate
the Fourth Of July in something more
than a perfunctorv manner. Unless. the
Fourth of July means today what it
did when the Declaration of Independ.
ence was adopted, and even more, the
entrance into the war is a colossal
crime. The Fourth of July, 1917
should be a reaffirmation and pledge
Of the conservation of the United
States to the principle of human lib
orty, a promise that that liberty shall
be preserved from foes within as vel
as without, solemn dedication of life
property and honor to those purposes
Let us make the Fourth of July not 8
vainglorious affair, but a covenant
with duty and true -Americanism.

Mankato Review: The proposition
that men adopt kits for their civilian

and then let fashion decree another

Moorhead News: In the face of the
fact that there has been heavy ad-
vance in all raw materials entering in
to the manufacture Of farm machinery
and binding twine at the state prison,
it is gratifying to state that there will
be little increase in the selling price of
the two articles named this year. By
early and judicious buying the state
board of control has been enabled to
place both on the market at heavy
reduction under the prices asked by
the trust. Showing what the state
board is up against, coal for the vari-
Gus institutions will cost over 100000
more than a year ago. AS to the raw
materials entering into the manufac-
ture Of Irvine and farm machinery, the
cost has more than doubled. In it's con-
duet of the 16 or more institutions in
it's charge everything concerning their
maintenance has risen in price and yet
tie board is meeting the situation.
Economy and efficiency is the board g
watchword and such is being impressed
on every employee.
