City's Patriotism Aroused
1000 Attend Prepar-

From q stan Correspondent 81 Tie Tribune
Minneapolis, April En- this city
to-day. for the first time since they left
New York. the preparedness advocates
of the National Security League made
their appeal to a community where the
pacifst question is something more
than a polite name for the German
problem. This was the result:
One thousand representative men and
women attended luncheon in their
honor instead of the 800 who had been
expected
One thousand men and women sprane
10 their feet. waved their napkins fran
t.calIy and chcered when Frederic +.
Coudert cried out that America must
enter the war to fight for the democ-
racy Of the world.
one thousand men and women an
swered an unmstakable aye to the
call for loyalty. patriotism and un-
finching Americanism Il meant that
at last Minneapolis was awakening a
patriotism that had lain dormant.
Perhaps in no other Northwestern
city has the pacifist propaganda beeh
50 well defined, and so distinct from
the purely German propaganda, as here.
Mayor Thomas Van Lear. who, as the
Socialist elector was installed in City
Hall the FIRST Of the year, has not heSI-
tated to organize and address big
pachst meeting. but has refused to
put himself on record as supporter
Of the President in the national crisis.
Four Socialist aldermen have support
ed the activities of their CHIEF. SOCIAL
ist member Of the School Board has
refused to vote for proposition estab-
lshing course Of patriotism in the
public schools.
Added to these pacitist influences has
been the activity Of the sO-called Min
neapois Patriotic League. An alleged
neutrality organization. which formal!
disbanded to-day at the hour when its
activities would have passed from dis

formal declaration Of war upon Ger
many. failed 10 matcrialize yesterday.
Recruiting at army and navy stations
was as good az on any other Friday
since three American ships were sunk
in ore day by the Germans, but, com
pared with the expected excitement,
every one seemed to be in a state Of
apathy.
"Nen are waiting FOR the President
TO call for volunteers. We expect him
20 call men for the duration OF the
war. and then the big rush will begin"
explained navy officers Hundreds Of
cx-bluej Jackets have agreed to come in
as soon as the call is issued. We cX-
pect that to come tonight, and the
hordes to come on Sunday or Monday"
There were many enlstments, how
ever, and the Marine Corps actually
beat its record Of yesterday by enrol
ling eleven men.
Indicative OF the general discounting
of the formal declaration Of war was
the manner in which news that Presi-
dent Wilson had signed the Congress
sonal war resolution was received at
the recruiting stations.
An aid to Admiral Usher. comman-
dant Of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, tele-
phoned the news to every big navy re-
cruiting station.
The recruiting officer held the re-
ceiver loosely as he answered:
VERY well, sir. Anything else? No?
Goodby!"
No Excitement Over War
He snapped up the receivcr-that was
all. And the enlisted men at the sta
lions took the news in the same way
There were individual instances Of
strong patriotism throughout the day
One seventy-year-old veteran OF the
Civil War walked firmly into the army

clarcd that he had come to enlist in

when the sergeant told him he was too

WHAT GOOD GAN |
GET FROM LENT ?
YOU CAN LEARN SINCERITY.

The world is full of false represen-
tations, of "make-believes," of shams,
of shadowy visions. The world calls
darkness light, and light darkness; it
calls bitter sweet, and sweet bitter,
and tries to cover up all her guilty
tracks with excuses, to make evil ap-
pear good.
On the other hand, every thought
the church presents to you during this
Lenten season is real-the clearer rev.
citation of great facts in human life.
We view each fact as God views it,
not as the world views it. We learn
what life really is, what sin really is,
what holiness really is, who man real
ly is, and who God really is.
The moment you realize this real
contrast that exists, that moment you
will be inclined to faithfully use the
means offered you in the church to
produce real Christian life and real
Christian growth.
Remember, It's the worldly mind
alone that makes Lent sham-an
empty devotion.-Rev. L. G. Fourier.

MEANS MILLIONS

The announcement of r. E. Odds
that he contemplates building mil
lion-dollar tourist hotel and a mil
lion-dollar tractor manufacturing
plant on his extensive properties on
Old Tampa Bay is the most important
announcement made here in some
time. Mr.. Odds has the reputation of
doing what he sets out to do and there
is every reason to believe that his
present propositions are real and not
mere publicity.
The tourist hotel project has been
extensively agitated here and Old
Tampa Bay furnishes an ideal loca-
ton. The site selected by Mr.. Odds is
only twelve miles from the city proper.
The factory proposition is in every
way feasible and advisable. Mr.. Olds
owns $4,000 acres of land in that To-
cality and he has already begun the
work of developing Oldsmar, which he
proposes to make into farms and
homes. The hotel and the factory will
fit in very nicely with these other
plans. That immediate section is ca
pable Of being converted into an earth
iy paradise and we believe Mr.. Odds is
the man to do it.-Tampa Tribune.
