Long as War Lasts Citi-

and Latah County Coun-
ellis Announced--All Mem
bers Instructed to Help in
Women Registration.

Citizens of the state Of Idaho are
warned by DIR. E. A. Bryan, chairman
of the Idaho state council of defense
not to grow weary or become annoyed
over the persistent calls that will be
made upon them while the war con-
tinues for they may expect just one
thing after another. That sacrifices
must be made by those at home as well
as those at the front is apparent from
his statement which appears in the
current issue of the "Offcial Press
Bulletin" of the council. 1t is also
announced the state defense council
is backing the Women's registration
drive and all county council members
are urged to lend their aid toward
making it q success. The appoint
ment of two more county councils,
those of Bonneville and Latah, are
made public.
WHAT YOU MAY EXPECT.
Under the caption, What You May
Expect Chairman Bryan says in the
bulletin:
THE loyal citizen may expect just
one thing after another. You have
had the food conservation pledge drive
the liberty loan drive, the Y. M. c. A.
drive. Just before you-December 3-S
there is the woman power census
of the state. Soon there will be the
man power census for ages 16 to so.
The Red Cross membership drive is
at hand. BY and by there will be the
third liberty loan. And so it goes
and so it will go all winter and next
summer and as long as the war lasts.
And the loyal citizen will not be an
noyed or grow weary of this. On the
ut hon ha no 10
will enter on each new weeks work
with new enthusiasm-new consecra-
tion. He will cease to be selfish He
will be quickened by the blood sacri-
flee of sons or brothers or friends
q and will stand waiting to know what
effort or sacrifice he may add to those
already put forth. He will cease to
greWl or criticize. He will help to
organize and direct public opinion in
the service of the nation. We are
beyond the point of argument as to
the proper policy for the nation to
pursue. We are in the war up to the
neck and the only way through is to
fight it through. The Christ said He
that is not with me is against me- SO
might the nation say. II you arc
loyal, work every day and all the
time"
