Representative Bertram I. Smell, OF
the 5lst District. in which Plattsburg
is situated, telegraphed the local
| Chamber Of Commerce that he had
high hopes of Plattsburg being utl-
lized as a mobilization camp after the
nficers' school closes in August. An
other indication that the government
intends using the barracks throughout
the winter lies in the fact that local
contractors have been asked for blds
on stuccoing the frame buildings and
making them fit TO withstand the
rigors of winter.
Officers Brave Downpour
Continuous rain did not prevent the
puard-mounting ceremony which had
been planned as a treat to Sunday Wis
itors at the camp, but the downpour
kept indoors the usual throngs which
visit the post on a holiday. In the
drizzle the New England companies
went through the performance and
then passed a busy two hours getting
their rifles clean.
After the reorganization Of the camp
this week Lieutenant-Colo Paul A.
Wolf. the commandant. plans trip TO
the Canadian camp at st. Johns, que
bee. where he will confer with
Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Melville, the
Canadian commandant, and his staff.

Must Prepare for Peace
Demands Undivided LOYALTY

Tf any man of German blood does
not feel an entire loyalty to the United
States in this contest, then he Is no
true American; he should be thrown
out of our country, and sent back TO
the country 10 which in his soul he
really belongs. Unless each of us is
in his soul an American and nothing
else, he is unfit for citizenship in this
Republic.
1--WE must prepare our souls. But
nothing avails unless we prepare our
bodies. As a nation this means that
we must prepare in advance for war
under penalty of, at some future time.
repeating our frightful folly of the last
three years under circumstances such
that we cannot, as at present, trust TO
our allies TO prevent our ruin at the
hands of the enemy. At present, by
every effort of belated energy, both
well-directed and ill-directed, both we'll
aimed and aimless, we are trying to
make partial amends for our folly in
having failed to prepare during these
last three years; three years when the
warning across the world skies was
written in such portentous letters Of
blood and flame that it seems wellnlgh
incredible that even the most foolish
and most perverse should have wilfully
blinded themselves to what was I'M
pending.

Colonel, "there is no danger Of killing

he is success as a mine sweeper he

Face Old-World Problem
Colonel Roosevelt said, in part:
"There are several lessons that this
great war has brought home 10 us. We
were and indeed we are--livlng IN
slipshod, easy-going fashion, taking
little thought of the morrow, and at
tributing 10 our virtues much which we
really owe TO the fact that we are on
a new continent, separated by two great
oceans from the old world. But our
new continent is really no longer new;
we now face much the same problems
that Old World peoples face; and the
oceans have become highways so cas-
lily traversed by hostile armies In trans
port fleets that disaster and perchance
utter ruin await us If we fail TO make
ready to defend our rights by our own
prepared strength and trained courage.
1--WE have utterly failed to prepare
for the war that has come upon US;
and now, with the utmost energy and
goodwill. but with vast expenditure
Of money and effort, and with INFINITE
hurry and confusion and blunderng,
we are endeavoring TO make good-and
at best we can only very partially make
good the damage wrought by our fool
ish refusal to look unpleasant facts IN
the face.
Must Prepare for Peace
"Let US now resolutely determine
never again TO be guilty of such Grim
inal neglect, and forthwith seriously to
prepare ourselves for the tasks Of
peace which will rise formidably before
as after this war, and at the same time
make ready our military strength in
permanent fashion, so that, as free men
in d free republic, we may ourselves
say how these tasks are TO be per-
formed and not be obliged humbly to
perform them at the dlctation OF a
Prussian taskmaster in spiked he'll

AMERICAN FIELD HEAD
QUARTERS, FRANCE, Nov. a.
The first congressional medal Of
honor for conspicuous bravery
may go to a young army lieuten-
ant from Meeteetse, Wyoming.
1t was expected at headquarters
today that Gen. Pershing would
make such a recommendation for
the officers rescue Of one of his
men from No Mans Land-under
heavy German fire.
The exploit occurred in broad
daylight. The lieutenant had led
q night patrol He and his men
had already been on duty l3 hours
in the trenches.
They crawled out over No
Mans Land and lay flat awaiting
and listening for German patrols.
One Sammy, utterly exhausted by
the days work and the exertions
of the night, fell asleep in a shell
hole close to the German wire
entanglements.
It was not until daylight re-
vealed all of the tangled weeds
and holes Of No Mans Land that
a count disclosed one man absent.
Then the lieutenant, sweeping
every inch of the ground with his
glasses, located his missing Sam
my tucked away in crater 1t
was about the same minute that
the Germans discovered him, too.

PUT BAN ON
BOOZE SALES

No more alcohol or whisky will
be sold by the Temple drug store,
1855 Broadway according to Com
missioner Petit.
On the heels of Judge Chap
mans refusal to enjoin the police
from posting uniformed guards in
front of the drug store, the com
missioner announced Thursday
that he would refuse to grant
the druggists a license for selling
intoxicants.
The new license ordinance,
which provides that drug stores in
Tacoma cannot sell alcohol or
whisky without a police license,
goes into effect Modnay.
In the meantime, Petit said
policemen would continue to guard
the drug store and prevent any
illegal sales of intoxicants.
The new drug store ordinance
provides that any druggist wish
ing to sell alcohol or whisky must
pay 81 for a city license. The
police can refuse to issue the IL
cense. II druggist appeals from
this refusal, the council has au-
thority to act on the case.
No alcohol can be sold without
q written permit from the chief
Of police, and no whisky can be
sold without a physicians pre-
scription.
Petit intimated Thursday that
certain other druggists would also
be refused licenses.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. ga
An hour after his victim. Chief
Deputy Sheriff Bob Phillips, died
at a hospital, Louis Hayes, es-
capped maniac from the state hos
pital, was trapped In a basement
on the east side and killed by
posse shortly before 10 o'clock
this morning.
Phillips was shot and fatally
wounded last night when he tried
to arrest Hayes at the home of
the latter's sister. Mrs. T. Spread
borough.
Police and deputy sheriffs
searched all night for Hayes.
Early today posse of rs repu-
ties armed with rifles and shot
guns took up the chase and Hayes
was cornered in the basement Of
a vacant house.
Abattle followed with many
shots exchanged between the Off
GERS and Hayes until the latter
ran out Of ammunition. The Off
GERS ordered him to crawl out of
the basement. Hayes did, and as
he came In full view one of the
officers shot at Hayes, killing
him instantly

Daring Young Lieutenant
Nav Win First u. S. Medal

The soldier cruched down In his
haven while the boches loosed
their machine guns and began
hurting grenades ut him. His
lieutenant, disregarding conceal
ment, stood up over the trench
and violently tried to wig-wag
him on how to creep back to the
American lines. But the Sammy
was too busy watching In the 9TH
err direction to see what his enc
mics were getting ready to do.
Then the lieutenant slipped
over the top of the parapet and
crawled flat on his belly down
the ravine. The Germans discov-
cred him almost at once. They
transferred all their fire to his
creeping figure.
Back in the American trenches,
the Sammies watched breathless-
ly, firing. as far as they could. a
barrage to protect the slow NOV
ing creeper.
In some miraculous way, the
lieutenant reached his man, and
the two turned back, .scuttling
along close to the ground, with
bullets cutting the high weeds
all about them. They made the
trip safely and were welcomed
back with cheers and yells of Joy
no less than of admiration for
the officers feat.
Normal artillerylng@ and rifle
firing continued over the Ameri-
can sector today.
