There are few rich Young men
who are deserving OF special COM
mendation. At the reserve officers
training camp In Illinois It was dis
covered that quite number OF young
men without means we're in danger
OF having to return home for lack OF
funds to continue their course OF in
struction. Hearing OF this, the
young men OF wealth in the camp
quietly dug down, handed large
sum to the mess officer with strict
injunctions OF secrecy as to names
and as result number OF young
men OF limited means will continue
to serve their country. This action
Is quite in contrast TO that OF the
long haired Willies who tear around
the country with American flags
consplcuously displayed on the front
OF their automobiles.

its hour OF trial would make a good
long list. One OF them is nearly
lost sight Of. probably because some
OF the others are relatively more
important.
The people OF America owe to tho
people Of France q debt which We
can never pay.
Most careful historians credit our
achievement Of independence to the
help offered us by Lafayette and his
compatriots. True--the colonists
gave in treasure and blood freely to
the cause OF liberty. but their sue
cess would have been doubtful had
France not come to the rescue.
No sooner had the shot that was
heard around the world" been fired
at Concord bridge than our colonial
statesmen turned to France for al
lance and support. Three million
francs besides valuable shipments of
arms and ammunition were imme-
diately forthcoming.
Two years later. in IT'S. France
had become so open an ally with our
young republic that England declar-
ed war upon her. In reply France
sent us trained soldiers and leaders
such as Lafayette and Rochambeau
Today when we are lined up be-
side our old time friend for the
struggle Of preserving free institu-
tlons among men. we should bear In
mind that we owe our very existence
as nation in great measure to
valiant little France. The entire
history OF our associations with the
French has been one OF helpfulness
on their part to us when in need.
In 1871 when our ministers secur-
ed loan OF five million flourins
from Holland, France had to guar
antee the bonds. After the downfall
OF CORVALLIS at Yorktown, the Brit
ish government made offers OF peace
to France and Spain that would have
excluded the United States. But
vergenes, the French minister, re-
fused to consider the offers. stating
that France would conclude no peace
treaty until the American prelimin-
aries OF 1882 are made final"
It is the simple. unquestionable
duty OF every American citizen to
support his country at this time. II
is the duty OF every citizen in a re-
public to fight and sacrifice for the
preservation OF democracy. It Is a
duty and should be considered a
pleasant privilege for Americans to
assist the nation OF heroic, self-sacri-
ficing men and women who are bear
ing the brunt OF the titanic struggle
against Prussian militarism--
France.

CIVIC WORK

Cities, like individuals. grow and
develop in az consciousness of i'm
proved methods and broader duties.
An example comes to our attention
in the arrangement made by the
citizens of waterville, Wash, for
community and civic work.
The business men and citizens Of
this enterprising town recently or
ganized q Chamber OF Commerce
with the usual governing board and
oficials, but instead Of depending
upon the voluntary contributions Of
the more generous citizens of the
city. they have taken cognizance of
the fact; 1t is a fact,-that all
service and public spirited work
benfit the citizens Of the city at
large and should be a part of rou-
tine. municipal activity.
A budget system has been put in
to effect whereby every business
man and tax payer Of the city is
assessed certain small sum to pro-
vide the financial requirements Of
the Chamber Of Commerce. The
sums paid are very small but in the
aggregate produce about $4,000 per
annum. Aside from the usual work
of a Commercial club ofiice such as
answering inquiries, sending out lit
erature, information center, and the
like, this fund will be used as an as
ISOLATED charity fund, to support a
band, and other such laudable pur-
poses.
As a part OF the plan the contrib
utors to this fund agree that they
will not contribute to any indepen-
dent subscription schemes which
the Chamber OF Commerce activities
is supposed to cover.
The plan has been thoroughly
tried out In other cities and has
proven eminently successful. The
total fund raised is larger than in
the cities where the plan is not in
effect, and the contributions made
by the individual citizen are smaller.
furthermore the business houses are
no longer assailed with numberless
appeals for indiscriminate and often
unworthy subscriptions.
Financial problems have been hard
nuts to crack since the foundation OF
our republic. but gradually we are
coming to see that public work bene-
fits the public. should be under con-
troll OF the public, acting collective
ly. and should be paid for by the
people at large. Ten citizens con-
tributing SOC a year to any cause Is
worth ten times az much as one
citizen contributing S.. For under
the former plan ten times as many
men take direct interest in the
economical and satisfactory dis
charge OF public function.
