EVERYBODY MUST HELP.
Every citizen of the United States now
has or will have certain duties to perform.
certain sacrifices to make. The burden
does not rest wholly upon YOU and other
men who takeup arms. II rests in part
'l~o upon the men and women who STAY
behind. For modern war on a big scale
demands that the whole Nation. in n
sense. should go 10 war. The tasks re-
quired OF some may be harder than the
tasks required of Others, hut all of them
are necessary in order to make sure Of the
result.
Many manufacturers and workerS-of-

their own work and plans in order to pro-
luce war supplies. Those who remain

This process OF organizing the whole
Nation for war can not. of course. be coni-
pleted in a day. But II is steadily going

ORGANIZED LABOR
Taking An Interest In Promoting
Peace.

The Central Federation Union of
Greater New York has joined hands
with the American Neutral Conference
Committee in an effort to rouse and crys-
tallize public opinion i'll the support of
President Wilson's peace overtures. At
its last meeting the union appointed an
of Ernest Bohm, Secretary of the Cen
trail Federated Union; Rudolph Modest,
general organizer of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America and William Kelly, bus
mess representative Of the Copper
smiths Union. This committee will CO.
operate with the American Neutral Con-
ference Committee in gathering great
volume of public opinion so that Presi-
dent Wilson will feel assured of ade
quate support in any effort he may make.
The American Neutral Conference
Committee is the one organization in
America formed for the express purpose
of doing everything possible to hasten
the day of a permanent peace. 1t has
had in circulation for a number of
months petition urging the President
to invite the belligerents to state the
terms on which they would be willing
to begin peace negotiations. Now that
this step has been taken, the committee
is throwing the entire weight of its in
huence behind the Presidents action. 1t
believes that now. if ever in Our history
the voice OF the American people should
be heard clearly and Enthusiastically i'll be-
half Of justice and humanity. The Pres
ident has taken far-reaching step and
the least that America can do is to stand
solidly with him in this critical hour
when he is trying to restore peace to the
world.
Organized labor in Brooklyn, in Seat
tie and throughout the State of Califor-
MIA has endorsed the petition. From the
ranks of labor everywhere have come
loyal workers who have helped to secure
the thousands of names which have al
ready been signed. Now an appeal is
being made to every Central Labor
Council in the United States, to join il
widespread and rapid-fre circulation
of the petition within the next few
weeks. 1t is expected that many of the
Councils will follow the lead taken by
the Central Federated Union of New
York in appointing an emergency com
mttee to help at this crucial moment.

Choral Concert
Delights Medford

In spite of the dry times, 1t may
be meet to remark that the Medford
Choral Society resembles in some
particulars bottle Of wine For the
older it gets the larger it becomes.
Last night it was bigger and better
than ever before, which is saying a
great deal, for at its birth it was
probably. the best amateur musical
organization in the country, consider
ing the population surrounding.
But all the credit can't go to Med
ford this time, for Ashland swelled
the choral ranks last night and added
materially to the volume of sound
and the pleasure of the evening. An
other added feature which deserves
favorable comment was the choral
orchestra under the direction of Prof.
H. H. Howell, which in addition to
the work of accompaniment, present
ed an exquisite quartet of four num-
bers which were most thoroughly en-
joyed-Medford Sun.
The Ashland and Medford societies
will open the Chautauqua session in
the new building this year with a
joint concert.
