URGES COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES BE USED
TO SHOW WAR AIMS

Approaching commencement eX-
ercises in American high schools
will be memorable for their enpha-
sis upon Americas place in the
world war. if the suggestion OF the
United states bureau of education,
department of the interior. is adop-
ted. In a letter TO the 5000 high
schools throughout the United
States, approving the recommends
ton of the committee of public in
formation and the national board
for historical service. Commissioner
Claxton declares:
The approaching commence
ment exercises of the high schools
find the American people entering on
a great world war. Before another
commencement the nation will be
tried by standards more searching
and tests more severe than any to
which this great democratic expert
ment has ever been subjected. No
proper occasion should be neglected
to give our people in every com
munity, however isolated or apa-
thetic, a firm grasp of the reasons
that have moved a great nation to
see that the issues of this struggle
are vital to our own safety and to tn q
preservation of democracy against
the triUmphs of autocracy. We are
now engaged in our first great tasks
of military preparation and the
pressing task of preparing 10 iced
and finance our own people and gov
eminent and the peoples and gov
ernments now in the heat of strug-
sle that has become ours Every
one who clearly comprehends is
thus fortified in spirit 10 play his or
her part in times that will try mems
souls
MatrOn Must Hold Steadily
Can the commencement eXeI cises
i'm every high school be better direct
ed than towards an elevated and
enlightening discussion of the faith
in popular government now on trial
for its life, a discussion which
makes clear the passionless purpOs-
es defined by the president in his
war addresses to congress? The ma
ton must be held steadily 10 those
high purposes despite the passions
aroused by war The American peO-
pie must be made 10 see clearly that
the world which is made over by
this war is one in which we must
take our place 10 coooerate with
those who share our iueals of de-
iuocracy and "A world freed from the
dangers Of wars dictated by dynas-
tic ambition or national policies bas-
ed on a philosophy OF war. II a
world rent by war and its heritage
OF hatred is 20 be pointed toward ;
me paths of permanent peace. the
American people must be ready 10
touch hands with an peoples who
see. in a sane and safe world. goal
worth some sacrifice OF national
self respect"
The commissioner letter closes
with the suggestion that the COM
mencement speakers consider the
possibility OF discussing vigorously
and clearly the issues at stake from
the American point OF view. II no
special speaker Is 20 be engaged, II
is urged that the essential passages
from President Wilson's address on
the war be read

The. new league is a brand new idea.
1t hasn't been touched yet by any one and

Association club owners who believe it may
be made to pass the hard turns, and there
are international club owners who feel the
same way about it.
The defeat of the plan to- rtdistrict

behind the idea We're willing to admit today
out of the thirteen leagues whose votes
were cast there We're at least seven whose
votes would be counted in with the new
plan They turned up their heels when the
showdown came and the defeat of the
radical element was turned into absolute
rout. The International League and the

would have given new territory to every

WATCH FOR THE LIARS,

y vicious form Of German
propaganda is the ~NStcmatizcd
lying concerning our war actiy-
ltlcs. Much Of it i absurd. but
much Of it is harmful. and alt of
1t Is cNlnningly designed to re
STRAIN the war energy Of our peo-
pie.
As All Instance. Il story l. being
pcddled about MlSsoula that the
Red Cross sweaters and sock,
which have been knit by our
women with so much patience
and industry never reach the
soldiers. but have been found on
sale at some Of the stores. The
purpose is to discourage our
women from further knitting.
There is law to fit these liars,
County Attorney Angevinc and
United States District Attorney
Wheeler promise swift action for
such of these liars As can be To-
Gated.
We therefore ask the loyal cili-
Zens of MiSsonla to be obServani
and to inform the officers when
