jects for an essay by George Section,
Ruth Carlson recited "The Concord
Hymn" Reverence for the Flag" was
the subject Ola reading by VIM. Lon
ey, and Rosamond GerretsOn recited a

Mr.. Sptcer was next called on and
ment of Education, by which any boy
who wishes to enlist for active service
in the war or to work on farms to
help raise foodstuffs might leave
school now and receive full credit for
the remainder of the school year in
his studies.
Gov. A. E. Rice was called on to
speak for the old veterans, and he re-
sponded both in happy and serious
veins which was greeted alternately
with smiles and applause. He said
that he had enlisted, when he was a
mere boy, and that he had never had
occasion to regret It. He advised ev.
cry young man who felt a call to 20
to talk it over with his parents and
try to persuade them to permit him to
go. "Their hearts may bleed,"- he
said, "but nevertheless they will be
proud of you" "And," he added, If
you should not come back, your life
will be we'll spent" He said that the
fact that many of us are foreign-born
does not affect our loyalty to this
country, which we love and revere.
Many of the children here are descen-

to fight for their country. Sweden

AUTO DRIVER ESCAPE

"Jeff" early this month determined
to make serious attempt to convey
to safety group of prominent Bel
'gians who We're in danger of prose-
cution by the Germans, and these
men were so weary of the German
regime that they We're willing to risk
their lives to escape. Jeff had orders
ito take the governor general from
Antwerp to Brussels on the follow
ing Monday. He figured that if he
cruised northward on Sunday the
guards along the Scheldt would think
the governor general was taking a
short trip to the frontier. He start
ed at noon, hosting the admiral's
flag.
The Belgian civilians were hidden
below deck, the captain and two as
sistants alone remaining above deck.
They passed the forts of St. Marie
and Philip de Paarl and by Liefken-
shock and Doel, their flag everywhere
saluted tremendously by the soldiers.
At Doel the whole guard turned out.
Close to the frontier the motor
stopped, gasoline being almost ex-
hausted. A German patrol boat ap-
iproached, but, no assistance being
asked, it apparently did not dare to
come alongside boat flying the ad-
mirals flag. BY a friendly salute
Jeff intimated that he did not need
assistance.
After some tinkering the motors
were made to work little longer, and
the tide also helped. Thus the vesse
reached Dutch waters, where it was
visited by the Dutch patrol and giver
enough gasoline to get it to the near
est port, where captain and passen.
Igers were warmly welcomed.
