their help at the pie supper, both

We were OF the war and not OF it un
til today when 1t is announced officiai-
ly that every state in the, Union is reL-
resented at the war front by its Natic n
al GuN dsmen. 1t will not be long be :
fore tie censor permits it to be known
that the advance guard of the nations S
drafted men is over there in that land
of great endeavor, where lasting his
tor, is being and is shout to be made
In which this republic will have its
full share.
With circumspection, all OF us must
talk of the struggle from this time for
ward. Our own blood will be in the
welter very soon. 1t is coming home
right to tile heart and hearthstone Of
the nation.
Tho soldiers who are on French soil
hxve gone TO 6ght for great purpose
For themselves, as individuals, they
expect noshing from it; for their coun-
try they do not expect gains in loot
or lands or indemnity. They have
zone to give their lives, If need be, to
make this the end of civilized war, to
give the peoples of the world the right
to 1.-Two their own lives and to impress
upon the German government and the
German people that might is not right
that violation OF moral law must be
punished and expiated and that there
can be no compromise with immutable
principle at issue in the war.
It is not going to be for US at home
longer TO question the righteousness of
the war, for by so doing we are weak
ening tire forces of this nation joined
to the struggle and lending did to the
enemy. Those who are not with us are
against US; those who are questioning
and quibbl'ng over the beginning OF it
and casting discredit on ourallies, are
stabbing an American army in the back
We are in it, not boastfully, but ear
nestly, und of a set purpose to win the
war, possessed of clear conscience
that We are in the right and convinced
that We must beat down the enemy SO
that the republic may live.
It is going to call for many sacriti-
ces. There will be mourning over the
land before it is done with; but we
know that the conviction that the men
who fell died in the noblest cause that
ever led to battle will assuage the grief
of the l,raaved and comfort them in
their hours of sorrow.
Let us then, as a people, do nothing
by word. thought or deed, that wouiG

human liberty harder for them to beaS

fv themselves with the teachings OF the
Son of Man. We should look into
the national heart and see that in the
momentous conflict before US, we har.
bor no unworthy motives by which we
may help to defer the consummation
of his benediction, "Peace on earth,
good will to men," 1t would be well
that we again assure our own hearts
that we desire but the everlasting
Right and Truth.
Having, then, assured our hearts OF
these things, let us revert 10 just one
incident in his life. Let us recall that
when he found the temple of God pro-
famed. with scourge of cords he
drove the profaners from its precincts.
Wonderful man! For his own safety
he would not contend, but for tho hon
or OF his Father, yes.
Was 1t divine pointing of the way
for his followers all down the ages?
Surely it could not have been trivial
incident of no particular Significance
to man Such incidents had no place
in his life.
Assured, then, that peace loving,
mercy loving, truth loving America
has but one aim, the preserving of the
sanctity OF the Fathers temple-that
temple which is the grea. heart of ha-
manity-we can approach this benign
season with heatts attuned to its sig
niticance-the anniversary of the earth
ly advent of the Prince of Pence. Com
ing in this spirit, we, like the sheperds
of old on the Judean hills, may catch
a glimpse of that light thnt shall dis
pei the darkness of ignorance and av-
arice and shall make of all men fol-
lowers and champions of the Right.
And as we approach that day let it
be with hearts that can feel for all peo
Piles everywhere. Let it be with q fer
vent hope that soon the clouds that
now encompass us may be riftcd and
dispersed, and the beneiic:ent sun of
world d-wide righteousness may shine
thenceforth forever. Let it b. with n
faith that the eternal pri rinciples of
Justice and Right for which we stand
will ultimately rule the earth, and man
see his fellow man for that which he

STRIKE MADE ON
 WONDERFUL CLAIM
 AT COPPER CHIEF

JEROME, April 2S.-A strike that may be of great importance was made this week on the Wonderful claim at the Copper Chief.
 At depth of 60 feet the new pros pect shaft on the Wonderful. which is just north of the main Copper Chiet workings. is in a ledge of schist be- tween four and five feet wide. Chal- copyrite is shot through the schist. Assays run all the way from five to ten percent copper. Superintendent J. T. Watson believes that the aver age is around six or seven percent.
 The showing is encouraging to say the least, and VIC hope to open another mine on the Wonderful stated the su- perintendent today. We shall cer- tainly lose no time in going down on it."
 An air line is being laid from the compressor at the main workings and drills will be operating in the bottom of tho Wonderful shaft within day or two. There is already a small pros peci hoist at tho collar of the shaft.
 No development work is being done in the main part of the Copper Chief .Mins> The rin is treauns about 1ro tens of geld srs daily.
