TO CRUSH KAISER
ONLY AIM OF j. S.
MILITARY UNITY EXPECTED
FROM ALLIED WAR COUNCIL
AT PARIS.

Military unity, unity of purpose
during the war and unity of aims
and conditions is what America ex-
poets to see grow out of the allied
war council soon to convene in Paris.
All allied powers, it is expected,
will lay all their cards on the table.
The United States has but one aim
in the war-the crushing Of Hohen-
zollernism.
II any other nation has any secret
treaties or agreements, the United
States will expect that they be made
known.
That the American mission headed
by Colonel e. M. House and now In
England will enter the council with
this view has been learned on high
authority.
The United States is interested in
just one thing now - winning the
war. The members of the American
mission have that alone in view.
They have been comforting with Brit
ish officials for the past week and the
construction put upon the work
ahead of them gives promise of the
Paris council being one of the most
important conferences since the be-
ginning Of the war.
The feeling of officials in Washing
ton is that there can be no more than
one central power" for direction Of
the war. The allies must pull to-
gether This might be accomplished
through some central directing body
composed of representatives Of the
various nations or through some me-
dunn that may be established as q
result Of conferences of the councils.
Certain it is, the allies must fight in
unison.
It is hoped that the allied atmos-
phere, which has been clouded from
time to time, will be entirely cleared
by the council. The pulling and
hauling" that has marked the con-
duct of the war to date will disap-
pear. it is believed.

is reported in the preliminary esti-
mate, the crop for the state being
235,OO0 tons short while that for
the United States is 1S,O71,OOO tons
less than last year.
The report shows that the farmers
of the state have been getting gener-

XMAS RED GROSS DRIVE BEGINS
 TO-DAY
TO ALI CHAPTERS,
 NORTHWESTERN DIVISION

We ere in receipt of very wei come news from National Head quarters which we hasten to con- muuicate to you for your informa- tion.
 Under the direction of leaders of organization and with uniform publicity and concerted effort National Christmas Drive will be Launched December 17th in every part of the United States and will continue unceasingly until Christ mas Eve
 Tn this time of vital importance in our National life it is believed that our citizens will turn rather to the opportunity for service than to festivities during Christmas week. By this drive it is hoped to raise the membership of the American Red Cross from 5,OOO,0OO to 15,- OO0,0OO members. Membership at this time means not merely con tIibution of $1.OO or $2.O0 which Is pod as membership dues. It means an immediate and extensive outlet for our patriotism. It is def mite alignment of our civilian popu- IlatiCn behind that branch of the servlce in which civilians can par ticlpate.
 MT. Theodore N. Vail, President of the American Telegraph & Tele- phone Company, has been appoint eH by t War Council as Chair man of the National Christmas Mem berslip Drive Committee. Dr. H. lN. McCracksn, President of Vas sar College and National Director ot the Junior Red Cross, will be its Executive Secretary. His Emtnence James cardinal Gibbons, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, former Minister to the | Netherlands and John Puroy Mitch ell former mayor of New York City are among members of this con- mittee.
 The West is represented by MT. JChn W. Britton, of San Francisco, and MT. HerYey Lindley, of Seattle.
 In the proportionate number of members secured the Northwestern DNi Nision can unquestionably take the lead.
 This is an excellent opportunity for Chapters to increase their sub- sCriLing members and thereby give its members an opportunity to re- ce;ve the great advantage of the Red Cross Magazine for the en- suing year.
 Ire splendid response which will come to this appeal for mem bers of our American Red Cross will be an endorsement of its work for humanity. An overwhelming re- sporse from our people will be the fipest and most practical Christ gift of encouragement and support that we can send to our American and Allied soldiers in the trench es.

rural or country high schools, yet, to-
gether, the rural children do not re-
ceive their early and most important
education from we%ll-trained rural
leaders. The great field Of rural
leadership in pedagogical lines is
practically %unoccupied and the sugges-
tons, influence, and teaching gripping
the boys and girls even in the open
country is that the things worth while
are city amusements, city occupations.
city lives and city ideals. Physically,
mentally and morally, city school
children are better cared for than the
children in the rural districts.
Undoubtedly the most potent and
f%ar-reaching factor in the solution Of
the rural problem must be the rural
school. Its proper %redirection and re-
vitalization will require those devoted
rural leaders as teachers through
whom the entire spirit Of country life
may be changed. Denmark furnished
the best illustration the world has
ever known of what can be done for
rural life by proper education. In 1864
Denmark was as dependent and bank
rupt a nation as could be found in
the Occidental world. Necessity set
her at work to redeem herself. Some
Of her best leaders notably Bishop
Grundtvig, famed as the originator
and organizer of her present folk high
schools, determined to begin at the
bottom and build up the nation
through her schools. Slowly they were
formulated and popularized and be-
came a power in promoting the pros
perity of the nation. Today her small
farmers, formerly the low and op-
pressed class, have become the con
trolling power of the state, and for a
wholesome, beautiful, happy, prosper
Gus country life, Denmark sets the ex-
ample for the world. Her schools that
have been developed in the last cen
fury receivea practically the entire
credit. Her rural schools, folk high
schools, agricultural schools, and
school of home economics are famous
in every civilized nation for adaptable
ity to local needs, efficiency and rural
leadership.
These teachers, three-fourths Of
whom are men, are from 80 to II
years of age, are given permanenI
appointments, but only after thorough
professional training and a reasonable
