Americas Case in Brief

Congressman G. E. Foss Of Illi-
nois summed up the answer to the
question why we are at war with
Germany in the following brief and
pointed paragraphs, which have
the ring of the old declaration of
independence:
LAS a reward for our neutrality
what have we received at the hands
Of William IL?
He has set the torch of the in
cendiary to our factories, our
workshops. our ships, and our
wharves.
He has laid the bomb of the
assassin in our munition plants and
the holds of our ships.
He has sought to corrupt our
manhood with a selfish dream of
peace when there is no peace.
He has Willfully butchered our
citizens on the high seas.
He has destroyed our commerce.
He seeks to terrorize US with
his devilish policy of frightfulness.
'He has violated every canon
Of international decency and set at
naught every solemn treaty and
every precept of international law.
"He has plunged the world into
the maddest orgy Of blood, rapine,
and murder which history records.
"He has intrigued against our
peace at home and abroad.
''He seeks to destroy our civili-
zation. Patience is no longer a
virtue, further endurance is cow
ardice, submission to Prussian de-
mands is slavery.

Family Reunion

Mr. Nels Nelson, one of the ear
" day settlers Of Madison township
and one of the aged men of the
county had the great pleasure for
several days last week of being
surrounded with all Of his children
who had come from different parts
Of the country for a family reunion,
and some of whom he had not seen
for twenty-five years. The gather
ing was held at the farm home of a
son, Mr!eGust Nelson in Madison
township, near Stockholm. and a
picnic dinner was enjoyed in a
grove on one Of the Nelson farms.
The gathering in the grove con-
sisted Of twenty-six persons, child

clean life during all the years alot-
ted to him. He is now becoming
quite feeble and is more or less
confined to his bed, and his mem
ory is failing somewhat, but a
great faith in the goodness Of God
is an ever present expression with
him as the material things are
commencing to fade away. He
was greatly pleased to have all

parts of the county, as they did.

4 Week Of Chautauqua

The week Of chautauqua enter
tainment was commenced last We'd
nesday afternoon, the Metropolitan
Sextette furnishing some excellent
music with their saxophones and
Robt. Kemple giving combination
lecture on Patriotism, to be in keep
ing with the day, and 1.-The Ameri-
can Boy" In the evening Mr..
Kemple gave his lecture on Eff
ciency." and on both occasions the
speaker was given the closest at
tention and was heartily enjoyed
by all. Kemple is an effective
speaker and has grip on his audi
ence from the start and holds it to
the last. The regrettable thing is
that this treat should have been en-
joyed by so few people compara-
lively speaking. Considering the
holiday occasion the chautauqua
tent should have been crowded.
but in the evening the meager at
tendance called for a comparison
from the platform speaker of the
much smaller towns than Milbank
that had given a great deal lal ger
attendance at these excellent eroer-
tainments. To day the Stockholm
Concert Co., will be the musical
attraction, and DR.. John A. Gary
Of New York will be the lecturer; !;
he has been named the Hobo Preach
err and will give his great lee
turea "Out Of Work. and "On
the Trail Of the Hobo The pro-
gram for the other days is pub
lished elsewhere.

Red Cross
Enthusiastic and Instructive MectinQ
Last Sunday Evening.

OWilR W ltIC WCdltlcI COtluIIlOIlS
the Red Cross open air meeting
advertised for last Sunday night,
had to be held in the Methodist
church. Some fine patriotic pieces
were rendered by a choir and the
audience Joined heartily in singing
America" 'Star Spangled Ban
ner' and other national songs.
The feature of the evening was
the red cross address of Mrs. B. D.
Gamble, who has charge of the
work at Aberdeen, and who gave
much needed account of the or
ganization and objects Of the red
cross society and the work it is
called upon to do, and told it in
an effective manner. The apathy
and backwardness of the movement
here has been largely because
people are not awake to the press
ing need and the successful manner
in which this need may be met by
the work Of the red cross, and
Mrs. Candles statement of this
will help our people Of Milbank
and Grant county to become inter-
ested in this great work of allevat-
ing human suffering
After relating the history Of the
organization from its first concep-
tion through the work of Florence
Nightingale, she ssrecounted how in
peace the red cross is the benificent
channel through which sufferers
from earthquakes, floods, famines
and fires are helped in all Of these
great calamities, and how in the
awful war that has devasted Eur
ope, it is about the only Christ.like
thing in the terrible drama that is
being enacted, but that it is unable
to meet a tenth of the load that is
placed upon it by the awful con-
dit;ons existing. America should
show to the world its real greatness
in this red cross work.
DR.. Ferguson. president Of the
Grant county auxiliary, reported
that the work had been somewhat
delayed by not receiving supplies.
but expected that after chautauqua
week complete organization and
development of the work would be
taken up and carried on.
Geo. S. Rix also gave q short
talk on the necessity of winning
the war and securing lasting
peace, and stated that the work OF
the red cross was one of the necess-
ary means of success in this. as
we'll as being the great humanitar.
ian agency in the inhumanity OF
war.
Applications for membership
were presented to the audience
and during their circulation NJ,
H. S. Roberts. one Of the aged
men of the city gave an interesting
outline of the development of the
of the red cross work in the civil
war, before the organization had
been perfected to its present pos
ition as an angel of mercy to thu
wounded and dying soldiers.
Some fifty-five names were secur
ed for membership in the local rel
cross when the cards were collected
The membership fee is $1.00
half of which goes to the loca
chapter and half to the nationa
organization. All persons over L
years of age are eligible to mem
bership, and every person in Mil
bank above that age should be en-
rolled. II you love humanity an

army to alleviate as far az possibl
the horrors of war. Do not wal

cross. Send your name to the sex
