Debate Ended. Now Action

Bryan's Commoner for May.
Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss the
merits of the selective CONSUMPTION bill
while it was before Congress. 1t has
now become a law by joint action of Con-
gress and the President. Honest and
patriotic men differed as to the wisdom
of resorting to CONSUMPTION before trying
the volunteer system, and they presented
their views as they had a right to do. The
dispute is ended.
No matter what individual opinion
may have been, the Government speaks
for aid and CONSUMPTION it is. The men
of America will be enrolled and so many
as may be needed will be summoned to
put on uniform and perform military duty.
Our country is at war. In war all effort
and energy are directed toward success
by armed force"
STAND BY THE GOVERNMENT"
Mr.. Bryan loves his country more than
he loves peace and is now doing his bit
on the Pacific slope urging on the food
supply preparedness. He is never lost
in the political game of life.

this organization has turned over to
the treasurer of the. church the sum
of $z116.73, which has been used
towards the completion and furnish
ing Of the church.

ed clearly on the front.
Twenty workers were out at

business man or woman escaped to
the trolley or ferry without wearing
one of the tags. The tags were
specially designed and were a huge
factor in aiding the work. The
amount on hand at this writing is
$175.27, and there were still more to
be heard of. This entire amount, the
collection ofxrich entailed no ex-
pense, will lsed to purchase sup
/ plies and u SERIALS. OPT 1t which
will be fashioned the bandages, COM
presses and surgical pillows as pre-
scribed by the hospital authorities.
The good work can now continue
and with the proceeds of the concert
it is expected that enough material
may be obtained to continue the
work during the coming summer
months.

ways were: Mrs. 0. T. Arlitz, Mrs.
Howard Greene, Mrs. Koch, Mrs.
