Merchants Leave Business
To Get Marine Recruits

pressed the feelings of the entire body
in one short speech:
What more can we do?'
I'VE are giving our sons" said sew
eral members I'VE are buying liberty
bonds We are trying to keep business
normal and steady. What else can we
do for our country"
For years members OF the Retail Mer-
chants Association have gone down the
river on a trade tour. until this tour has
become a big event in the river towns.
There was music and lunches and ex-
hibits on the boat, and thousands of
country folks came into the river towns
for the event. In fact, each river town
handed over the keys OF the city to the
trade tourists from Washington and babe
them Godspeed when they left.
Some one in the meeting got to think
ing abolut this annual trade tour and got
happy idea:
Let's forget all about business this
year and go down the river and stir up
the folks" he said, in a chorus of ayes.
I'VE know, better than people of any
other community can know, how serious
the situation is and how badly recruits
are needed for the service. The boys
DOWN the river would be tickled to get
chance to 60 in the marines"
So the whole thing was settled right
then and there and plans for the trip
were started right or
Daniels Delighted.
Secretary JOsephus Daniels was de-
lighted with the idea-It was one OF the
best recruiting plans he had heard Of.
and he was pleased that Washington
would be an example to the entire coun-
try. He offered the Marine Band and a
detachment Of 900 or 800 marines for the
occasion. He also promised to make a
short speech IL he could spare the time
from his work and in a way to sponsor
the plan.
The proportions of the demonstration
have just grown by leaps and bounds

the rainy weather on friday night
and early Saturday, the German bat
teries again displayed little more
activity than normal on the part Of
the French line occupied by Ameri-

tributed impartially among the
trenches, the American batteries re-
plying in the same fashion.
The enemy is using both high ex-
plosive and shaapnel in sending oc-
casional reminders of the war toward
the American trenches. Reports
reaching headquarters, however, are
that the bombardment could in no
way be considered lively" merely
being a departure from the normal

particular section.
