AN APPEAL TO YOUNG PATRIOTS

Young men of America hark to the call! Shall Humanity, Justice and Democracy fall? Unfur and uphold the flag of your breed Fight for your loved ones! Fight for your creed! Remember Washington, Grant, Lincoln and Lee, And the brave men who fought that you might be
 free,
 Ere moment had passed each had shouldered his
 gun,
 Twas the spirit of seventy-six The spirit that won When you eventually must cross OCT the bar, To go to the place where all these heroes are, Shall you hold up your head? Shall you look down? Shall each greet you with smile? Shall each wear
 frown?
 Heed not the way the mad pacifists talk. Shall we be prey in the path of the hawk? Peace at any price" he madly dreams, While the blood of our brothers flows in streams Heed not the coward, with his soft-spoken lies Nor the traitor, who befriends you, while you he
 spies,
 This foe in your midst is far greater to fear Than the foe at the front, be he ever so near. So stand by the president, show him your hand; For weI-chOSen is he, our nation to command For Humanity he stands-for Justice, for Right A cause we know is just in God, Our Fathers sight. And strike for Columbia; her ideals cannot fall. Give her your manhood! Give her your all! Let the arms of this glorious land of the free, Rise up to smite the foe, till conquered is he. When to o~the smoke of great battle you come; Above you breaks shrapnel around you bullets hum; Gird up your belt and put smile on your face You'll be the pride of Columbia, the pride of your
 race.

Taylor To Give
 Dance To Help
 Red Cross Fund
From Wednesday, Daily Minerl


 B. c. Taylor, of the Taylor Wayside Inn at the foot of the Goldroad grade in the Little Meadows section, opened his new Ice Cream parlor at Goldroad Monday evening with a free dance. At the hour of midnight it was the desire of the dancers to continue and an as sessment was levied on all of those present to pay the musicians. After they had been satisfied, it was found that some s14 was left and this was donated to the Red Cross work by Mir Taylor.
 It is the intention of Mir. Taylor to give a dance each Wednesday evening and the proceeds exceeding the cost of music will be given to the Red Cross. It is most commendable on the part of Mr. Taylor to have the inclination to help along a most worthy cause and it is hoped that he will prosper in his new venture and from the enjoyment seen both in the dance and at the good things provided in the up-to-date par tor, it is apparent that he will meet with success.

GALIFORNIANS LOUD
 IN PRAISE OF ARIZONA;
 WANT ID MOVE HERE ?
CFrom Tuesdays Daily Miner)

A party of nine Californians visited Kingman Saturday and expressed themselves as much surprised and pleased with what they saw. King man was the turning point and cli- max in an eventful trip.
 The party left San Bernardino on Thursday afternoon in two large tour ing cars. They went to Silver Lake, via Barstow, thence to Searchlight, Nev. They ferried across the Colorado at Fl Dorado and came to Kingman via Chloride. The Telluride Chief mine and other points of interest were visited in the brief time at their dis posal. All expressed regret at their inability to remain longer, and one, Major Sloat, good-naturedly censured his companions because they "drove so fast he was unable to get pictures and specimens of desert plants which he wished to take back" He succeeded, however, in getting some 50 or 60 snapshots, and remarked that he had never experienced a more enjoyable outing.
 "The desert" he said, twas a source of never-ending wonder anl surprise to me. I have always entertained the belief, in common with the initiated, that the desert was waste of burn ing sand. hold that belief no longer. Nature certainly has been kind to q country denied its birthright of abun- dant water. She has made recom- pense with a wealth of plant life and a climate second to none. As a set ting, she has encircled it with beau tiful mountains and over all has spread with lavish hand a wealth of delicate shades of harmonious colors found nowhere else upon earth.
 Some day the Wallapai valley will come into its own. Water will flow over this broad valley, and then"
 The major paused and smiled.

 S. F. Kelly, San Bernardino, receiv- CT for the Gibraltar Investment com pany, was in charge of the party. The other members were: B. c. Strasser, Los Angeles; Major O. P. Sloat, J. s. Strasser, c. E. LeRoy, Robert Cath cart, George Lauterbach, c. B. Mon aghan and Claude Killam, all of San Bernardino.

ID ARREST ALL
 AGITATORS FUR
 OPPOSING DRAFT
Attorney General Gregory Orders Gov. Agents to At tend Every Anti-cOnScrip- tiOn Meeting and Take Re port on Speeches.

WASHINGTON, May 90.-Special orders were given today to govern ment officials throughout the country to keep close watch upon meetings at which there is likely to be agitation against registration under the war army act, and prepare to arrest speak CTS who encourage violation of the law.
 Although the department of justice is officially stated that the influences money is behind efforts in various sec tions to interfere with registration, it is officially stated that the influence are regarded as local and sporadic and not inspired by any serious organized effort.
 Through the committee on public in- formation, Attorney General Gregory made this announcement tonight:
 "The department of justice today communicated instructions to it's off cers and agents in communities wher- ever meetings are likely to be held at which agitation against registration as prescribed in the new army bill might be indulged in. The United States attorneys and marshals were directed to be present or represented at the meetings and to have steno- graphic reports made of the addresses delivered.
 "These reports will be gone over carefully and arrests will be made later in all instances in which the ut terances of the speakers are calculated to discourage registration or to iniu ence individuals into attempting to evade the provisions of the law.
 "The United States attorneys and marshals also were directed to ask close cooperation of the local police authorities in each community"

BONDING FACTS
 GIVE COMFORT
 ID AMERICANS

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 29-(Spe- cial )-Rossiter Mikael, representative of the United States government in this state in connection with the Lib erty loan, gives comforting financial facts to those staggered by the size of war expenditures. As a bond ex- pert he finds that the real anxiety is caused by the fact that the Ameri- can people as individuals are not much used to bond buying. However, he is greatly encouraged by the coop eration given him here in the work he is seeking to do. In speaking of the situation he said:
 "The United States is at war, and a heavy increase in its expenditures is certain. It is not realized, how ever, how easy it is for the country to assume this burden.
 "At present the nation debt is one billion dollars, making the per capita debt S1O. Prior to the war in Europe the per capita debt of England, based on a population of 45,OOO,0OO, was S7619. Germany's population was 66,OOO,OOO, the per capita debt being S73.62. Frances population was 29,- 5OO,OOO and the per capita debt S159.95.
 "An increase of our national debt to six billion dollars, two billion of the seven billion authorized Liberty loan to be loaned directly to the allies, will increase our per capita debt to S6O.
 Since the beginning of the war the per capita debt of England has increased to S37O, of France to S36O, and of Germany to S3OO
 Nineteen billions have been raised in England alone by the sale of gov ernment bonds since 1914. The an- nual family income is S1,95O per year, which means that each family has contributed over half of their annual income for government securities.
 'The average annual family income in the United States is S1,75O. These figures show how light our burden will be in comparison to those of Eu- rope.
 ''The income of the United States today is 50 billions of dollars against 15 billion for Europe. On this basis we could assume a debt of 57 billions and be less burdened than England with 19 billions.
 "We must make every effort to have each person in the United States do his bit. A $50 bond per capita would take up the entire proposed issue for this country.

Must Be Loyal To Flag

4ACAC AAuSI DG dDoOluIe anu uQQl- vided loyalty to our flag. The events of the past two years have shown that no man can be any more loyal to two flags than to two wives.
 "Any man who is not a good hus- band is not a good citizen. A man must be loyal to his wife and to his country. Now that Germany stands as the most efficient military auto cracy that the world has ever seen, no man is a good American who does not stand against Germany and for this country with all his heart"
 The former president asserted that universal service is a necessary cor rolary to universal suffrage"
 q believe in suffrage" he said, "but not for suffrage for any woman shirk- ing her duty, and I will work for the disfranchisement of any man or wo- man who does not work in peace or in war in any service the government may demand.
 "We hear, of course, of conscienti- ous objectors. I do not ask any man to violate his conscious, but l will not stand for him violating mine either. If any man is too conscientious to fight he ought to take his conscience and look at it, for it is certainly sick"
 The first duty of a man, the colonel added, is to be "a mans man, not just a sexless creature who wants some body to fight for him."
 He urged those present, as a patri- otic duty, to subscribe for liberty bonds.
 ''The bonds will be safe unless Uncle Sam smashes up, and if the United States smashes up we all will be smashed up, and it won't make any difference whether the bonds will be good or bad"
 "The people" he declared, "can pre- vent Wall street from financing the government if they themselves will finance the government.
 q want to say to you men of wealth." concluded the colonel, "that this is a bad summer to hire men to do some useless thing; so don't hire men to move trees around or to build brick walls that look as if they were meant for an asylum"

 Turning to the audience, Mir. Roose- welt declared if there was any man in the country who was not prepared to do everything in his power, "now when the nation calls," he had better go away.
 "Do not think in terms of self-sac- rifce, but in terms of service" he said q do not pity man who has a chance to risk his life for his country; envy him
