He said that we in this country do

not in the military of the country are

principles had travelled to Europe ana

within the past few months Russia had
become republic. The King Of Eng
land, Mr.. Dunnett said, is nothing
more than the social head of the
country, while the people are the real
government. Germany, he said, WAS
the last representative of the autocrat-
ic type of government. He told that If
Germany were not defeated, our coun-
try would be subjected to the same
treatment as all the conquered coun-
tries of Europe, and that it was for US
to avoid this fate.
Mr.. Dunnett finished by saying that
the soldiers of the United States are
among the finest OF the world because
they fight with intelligence and indie

They fight to Win!' The speaker was
given enthusiastic applause by the
gathering.

the first speaker of the evening Rev
Frederick p. Richards, of the Nortl
church.
F. Ii. Richards Speaks
Mr.. Richards Immediately won the
attention of all with the force and
earneStness of his words. He said thai
this day marked the first time in his
tory when at the beginning of a wal
draft was resortcd to. The speaker
went on to say that draft under the
conditions in this country was the only
fair and democratic way of raising an
army; that it gave ALL no matter what
their position, an equal status in the
eyes of the law. And as this country
was founded on the principle that all
men are created equal, the speaker
said, the course was the only right one
to pursue. Mr.. Richards told the story
of the King who boosted Il am the
state" and went on the prove that the
King lied, that the people are the
state, that the men drafted are the
state, and that the country is theirs
who can say I am the state today"
said the speaker.
Rev Richards took in in his address
the seriousness of the present conflict.
Mr. Richards said that it was no dis
grace to be drafted. Men drafted can
show their patriotism when they are
called and win the honors of voluntary
enlisters The speaker pleaded that
oil Of n q
wonderful front made by Germany
against the entire powers of the world,
and asked if the men of government
so despotic as that of Germany would
make a better showing than the men
of the greatest Republic in the world,
the United States of America. Mr..
Richards, speaking to each individ
ual in the audience, said ION you rests
the destiny of Humanity"
Arthur F. Stone then took the floor
and called for three cheers for Cap
tain Wilcox of Company ID. These
were given with a will be everyone.
Alexander Dunnett Speaks
Mr.. Stone introduced as the next
speaker the Hon. Alexander Dunnett.
Mr. Dunnett began by saying 'These
are martial times" and proceeded to
give instances of the war preparation
visible in all part of the country; the
boys of the colleges drilling on the I
fields, and the companies being drill |
ed in many towns. The speaker said /
that 141 years ago our ancestors de- |
clared their Independence, and that it |
was for us to carry it on He told OF /
the country we are fighting, and why
we are at war. Citing a case of the !

AUSTRIANS SINK
AMERICAN SCHOONER
CONTINUED DISREGARD OF AM
ERiCAN RIGHTS MAY FORCE THE
PRESIDENT BEFORE CONGRESS.

Washington, February l4:-The
steady accumulations of violations
of American rights by Germany
made it appear possible today tina,
President Wilson would 60 before
Congress to ask autority for further
protecting lives agd property with
out waiting for a serious disaster,
which might shock the country.
There were no indications, however,
that he believed the time for such
step had come, and it again was
stated authoritatively that he would
move deliberately and with full ap.
probation of all the consequences
involved.
Official reports of the sinking of
the American schooner Lyman M
Law, in the Mediterranean by an
Austrian submarine added only
slightly to the tension, for while the
act is believed 10 have been illegal,
no lives were lost and the vessel ap-
parently was warned. The incident
was not looked upon as one in itself
sufficient to hurry the development
of the situation.
Preliminary reports began COM
ing to government departments
showing the piling up along the At
lantic seaboard Of goods destined
for export to European ports. No
serious effect from this condition
will be felt. however, until lapse OF
sufficient time for ships remaining
in American ports to have gone to
Europe and returned. While only
approximately 10 per cent of Amer.
lean commerce with Europe is car.
ried on American ships. the sailings
of vessels of other nationalities in
many instances have either been
cancelled or postponed, and, there
fore, the results of the ruthless SUBJ
marine campaign in time will result
in far reaching disturbance of the
industrial life or the United States.
Preparations by the government
for any eventuality are still going
forward. Much Importance is at
tached to the work of the Council of
National Defense, which is holding
daily sessions to learn at first hand
from Americans of experience what
provisions must be made to coordi-
nate American resources. E S Stet-
tinius, of j p Morgan & Co. of New
York, was again before the council
today, furnishing information gain
ed from experience as head of his
firms huge transactions in war or
ders for the entente allies.

CANNING CLUB GIRLS
Given Advice by County Demon
stratIon Agent.

To Canning Club Members:
Since the weather continues un-
certain, in order to get early plants
it would be advisable to plant to-
mato seed in a box. An ordinary
soap or soda box should be used.
Fill the box with soil to within three
inches of top. pack down we'll. This
soil should not be as fertile as the
| field in which the plants are to be
grown, as in this case the plants
would receive a backset, being trans
planted from rich to poor soil. Mark
off rows three or four inches apart
and half inch deep. drilling the seed
an inch apart in the row, then cover
and firm the soil well. For rapid
termination place seed in glass and
soak overnight in water or sweet
milk. Place in southern exposure
keeping soil damp, but not too wet,
and at night take in box for protec-
ton. Planting in drill obviates the
necessity of transplauting to secure
stocky plants. When plants reach
the height of three or four inches

pinch off all leaves except a few at
the top and fill in between rows,
with same kind of soil in which
plants are growing, ito within an
inch or two Of the top. The plants
will take root along the buried stem.
When plants have reached height OF
four or five inches they are ready fol

so as not to break the roots. Pinch
off leaves as before and bury deep
in the soil. Care sould be taken In

The announcement of Jno L Nc
Laurin several days ago that he ex-
pected to run for Governor in 1918
did not create any great sensation
in political circles. John L has al
ways been running for something
or another, but he'll have to run
harder than he ever has before to
reach the goal he now covets.

One of the worst menaces to pub
lie roads in this county is the thoght-
less or careless ploughman who runs
his plow persistently into the public
road when he reaches the end Of his
furrow in the field or in going to
and from the field and allowing his
Glow to furrow into the roadbed. This
fellow is not new offender by any
means. We hear of his work every
season, but judging from the text
warning published in this paper, of
the over the signatures of Super
visor Hammet and Road Engineer
Jenkins, they intend to put a stop
to the nuisance. And it should be
stopped for ordinarily, our public
roads are none too good and most
certainly the depredations of these
wreckless ploughmen do not i'm
prove them. There is a statute
against the menace and it should
be rigidly applied to each anc

Passing a Crisis.

The American people have never
been more sure of themselves than
now as they watch developments in
our present crisis with Germany.
Everywhere in America citizens OF
every sort, public officials, men emf
nent in business and professions,
even the nations most incorrigible
partisans, are proving from hour to
hour that they touch shoulders as
they face a national crisis and q
national duty.
No true American citizen should
lend himself TO the utterance OF re-
marks, even in joke, that will tend
to create undue fear among our
people at this time. This was the
case in the spring Of 1898 during
Spanish. American war. most brought
about by the American press, or
that part of it that leans entirely to
the sensational, regardless of facts
or actual conditions. Don't pin too
much faith in the daily press reports
from Europe and Washington re-
garding the crisis. Only such in.
formation as is given out by the
State department at Washington
should be taken as true story of
what is taking place between the
two governments and what will
probably follow.
Self-respecting Americans. women
as we'll as men. are ready to meet
whatever has has to be met fear
lessly and with their eyes open. But
there can be no good in bending an
ear to timorous gossips or shudder-
ing at possible conspiracy and trea-
son every time we see a sensational
headline in a newspaper. At worst
America has little to fear at the
hands of Germany should the pres
ent breach be widened into decla-
ration of actual hostilities. A cool
head and still tongue should pre-
dominate in every patriotic Ameri-
can at this time.

BOBBY WALLACE IS REAL DADDY.

The average baseball fan looks upon Hans Wagner as the dean of major league players. But Hans is only the runner-up
 Bobby Wallace, who has been connected with major league base ball for twenty-three years, is the daddy of 'em all. Bobby broke into the game in 1895, while Wagner came two years later. Wagner, of course, holds the palm for contin- uous service in the National League. for Wallace has played in both leagues.
 The veteran Wallace holds a rec ord that will probably stand for all time. He is the only big league player who has ever left major league club and rejoined it sixteen years later This happened when Bobby came back to the St. Louis Cardinals this summer. The last time Wallace was seen at the Polo Grounds, prior to the recent series of the Cardinals in New York was in the summer of 1901. The next year he was with the Browns. having jumped the National League club.

 Dr. Henry Suzzallo, president of the University of Washington, in his tribute to the dead coach. voices the feeling of all who knew him:
 '"The death of Coach Conibear will be a shock to the university community. For years he has been the student coach of rowing, the most highly esteemed of our col lege sports. The history of all our great crew races, east and west, is the record of Conibear's s registering personality. He was a great coach a superb trainer and above all, a sturdy character whose influence was always thrown in favor of the finer and better things. We shall all miss him.

MOURN LOSS OF CONIBEAR.

With the death of Coach Hiram Conibear of the University of Wash intgon crew squad, who died in- stantly a week ago today, at Seat tie when he fell from plum tree In his yard. the State university suffers an athletic loss almost equal to that when Gilmour Dobie resign ed.
 Coach Conibear has been working with Washington crew for the last ten years, having been the only coach that ever trained Washing ton eight. His crews made good showings at the intercollegiate re- gatas at Poughkeepsie in 1913 and 1914. Besides being a rowing ex- pert Conibear was also a bicycle rider of note.
 Before going to Washington he was coach at the University of Mon- tana. and trainer of the. Chicago White Sox. Conibear was a favor
