WILSON ENDORSES MOVEMENT
IN ADDRESS EMPHASIZING
NEED OF TEAM WORK.
EDUCATIONAL PATRIOTIC MOVE
New League Represents Church, Po-
Iitieal, Labor, Agricultural and In
dustrlal Organizations Which VIII
Work for Unity Of Thought.

Washfngton.-An extensive move
ment to lead and express public opin.
ion on the war was inaugurated here
by formation of the League for Ma
tfonal Unity, representing church, po-
htical, labor, agricultural and indus
trial organizations. to which Presi-
dent Wilson gave his endorsement in
an address emphasizing the need for
team play by the forces of American
thought and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders of the
movement at the white house in a
brief speech, the President expressed
the belief that American public opin-
ion, although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needs guidance
to remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and
Germany's rule OF autocracy and
might are superseded by the ideals Of
democracy
This is the issue. which the Ameri-
can people should always keep in
mind, the President said, in order to
avoid being misled into byways of
thought and Of the resultant scatter
Ing of the force Of public opinion.
Talk OF early peace before Germany
is defeated is one of the evidences of
misdirected thought, he suggested,
and should not cloud the vision OF
those who understand that the United
States is fighting now for the same
ideals of democracy and freedom that
have always actuated the nation
President Gives Warming.
The President gave warning that 1t
should not be forgotten that German
success would mean not only preven-
tion OF the spread of democracy. but
possibly the suppression OF that al.
ready existing.
The league, which will have head
quarters In New York, chose as hon.
orary chairmen Cardinal Gibbons and
DIR. Frank Mason North. president OF
the federal council of churches. The.
odore N. Vail, president OF the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co., is
active chairman, with Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor; Charles Barrett,
president of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union, and George
Pope. president Of the National Asso-
citation OF Manufacturers, as vice
chairman. The object was stated as
follows:
ITO create medium through
which the loyal Americans Of all
classes. sections. creeds and parties
can give expression to the fundamen.
tai purpose OF the United States to
carry on to successful conclusion
this new war for the independence OF
America and the preservation of dem
ocratic institutions and the vindica
tion OF the basic principles of hu

ON YOUR OWN HEADS.
By Rudyard Kipling.

(The failure to heed this warning
by Kipling has caused Great Britain
untold suffering. Shall we also be
bIind?)
Fenced by your careful fathers,
ringed by your lesSer seas,
Long did We wake in quiet and long
lie down at ease;
Till We said of Strife, "What Is it,"
of the Sword, at is far from our
KEN;
Till we made sport of your shrunk-
en- hosts and a toy of your armed
men.
Ye stopped your ears to the warning
we would neither look nor heed
Ye set your leisure before their toll
and your lusts above their need.
Given to strong delusion, wholly be-
Heving lie,
Ye saw that the land lay fenceless,
and We let the months go by
Waiting some easy wonder; hoping
some saving sign
Idle-open idle-in the lee of the
forespent Line.
Idle-except for your boasting-and
what is your boasting worth
If We grudge a year of service to the
lordliest life on earth?
But We say, "It will mar our COM
fort" Ye say, ut will 'minish our
trade"
Do We wait for the spattered shrap-
mel ere We learn how gun is laid !?
For the low, red glare to southwark
/ when the raided coast-towns burn ?
eight We shall have on that lesson,
| but little time to learn.)
No doubt but We are the People-ab-
solute, strong, and wise;
Whatever your heart has desired We
have not Withheld from your eyes.
On your own heads, in your own
hands, the sin and the saving lies!

BRITISH AND CANADIAN
SUBJECTS MUST SERVE
FORMER BRITISH SUBJECTS ARE
ASKED TO COOPERATE WITH
THE RECRUITING OFFICE.

The British Canadian recruiting Of
ticers are making determined effort
to secure the enlistment of all unna-
turalized Canadian and British sub
jects in the northwest and is meet
ing with gratifying success. How
ever, there are many of such subjects
eligible to military service who have
not responded to the call of their
country and a final effort is soon TO
be made to get them in line. In the
meantime 1t is expected that law
will soon be passed which will enable
the British and Canadian governments
to draft their subjects in this country
and the same privilege will be &C.
corded the United States government
in forcing it's citizens into service
who are living under the British flag.
The British Canadian recruiting office
in Spokane will soon send repreSen-
tative to this city and hopes to have
the cooperation of former Canadian
and British subjects, and Americans
as well, in making arrangements. A
letter from the office says:
Appeal for Local Assistance.
Canadian army officers, returned
from overseas service, will shortly
visit Wallace in the interests Of the
British Canadian recruiting mission,
w. 6O3 Sprague avenue, Spokane,
Major J. C. Biggs, commanding, has
completed arrangements to cover
every town in his territory by auto
mobile for street meetings or for more
formal patriotic mass meetings.
He is appealing to former British
and Canadian subjects to volunteer to
act as local committee to make the
necessary arrangements and will for
mally name on his general committee
any who will volunteer in this capa-
city. American citizens will be well
coined in the same capacity.
"Those interested locally in a re-
cruiting rally to be addressed by the
Canadian officers are invited to cores
pond at once with Major Biggs. Of
ficers will be detailed to visit your
town as soon as he learns that local
arrangements have been made for
such a visit Local workers are be-
ing named in many towns in the
northwest and number of success
full meetings already have been held.
CAS- result of this work, the Spo-
kane Office is forwarding recruits
daily to the Canadian army camps but
believes there are still many British
and Canadian subjects, unnaturalizet
and of military age and physically fit
in this community, who would joir
their colors if the matter were called
to their attention in the right way"

Work in Crosscuts Resumed After
Weeks Delay.

When the compressor at the Ray
jefferson was burned several weeks
ago, work was necessarily suspended
in the two crosscuts which are de-
signed to open the ground at great
depth. The work of restoring the COM
pressor and the construction of a
new building were completed this
week and it was announced by the
management that work underground
would resume yesterday. The main
crosscut which is being run to open
the main Ray-Jefferson ore body at
great depth in the Mountain Goat
ground has yet to be extended about
800 feet. This crosscut is being run
to obviate the construction of tram
way from the upper workings and will
be the main working adit' At the

PINE CREEK RAILROAD.
Clearing Right Of Way Besins-side
Track Put In,

The first move toward actual rail-
road construction on Pine creek began
this week. when about so men were
put to work clearing the right of way
near the mouth of the creek. 1t is
expected that the force will be in
creased as rapidly as men can be Sc
cured and that grading will soon fol-
low.
A sidetrack has also been put in by
the railroad company accommodate
the construction outfit and the sup
plies shipped in to be used in construc-
ton work. Now that the start has
been made it is expected that the work
will be pushed with all possible speed
in order to take advantage Of the
good weather. With the large ship
ments that are now being hauled out
and the large number of railroad en-
ployes strung out along the right of
way, Pine creek during the next few
months will be veritable hive of
industry.
