orces of the nation as the men under

forces of the nation as the men under
fire.
IT take the liberty, therefore, Of
addressing this word to the farmers
of the country and to all who work
on the farms: The supreme need Of
our own nation and of the nations
with which we are cooperating is an
abundance of supplies, and especially
of foodstuffs. The Importance OF an
adequate food supply, especially for
the present year, is superlative.
Without abundant food, alike for the
armies and the peoples now at war,
the whole great enterprise upon
which we have embarked will break
down and fail. The worlds food re-
serves are low.
LET me suggest also that every
man who creates or cultivates gar
den helps greatly to solve the prob
lem of the feeding of the nations; and
that every housewife who practices
strict economy puts herself in the
ranks of those who serve the nation.
This is the time for America to cor
rect her objectionable fault of waste
fulness.'

dredS out Of our shipyards to carry
to the other side of the sea, subma-
rines or no submarines, what will
every day be needed there, and abun-
dant materials gut of our fields and
our mines and our factories, with
which not only to clothe and equip
our own forces on land and sea, but
also to Gle thes and support o. people
I for whom the gallant 1cfolw under

we are cooperating in Europe, and

Must Increase Industries.
eve must supply coal to the fires
going in ships at sea and in the fur
naces of hundreds of factories across
the sea; steel out of which to make
arms and ammunition, both here and
there; rails for wornout railways
back of the fighting fronts; locomo-
tives and rolling stocks to take the
place of those every day going to
pieces; mules, horses, cattle for la
Dor and for military service-every-
thing with which the people of Eng
land and France and Italy and Russia
have usually supplied themselves but
can not now afford the men, the ma
terial or the machinery to make.
1T is evident to every thinking
man that our industries, in farms, in
shipyards, in the mines, the factor
les, must be made more prolific and
more efficient than ever, and that
they must be more economically man
aged and better adapted to the par
ticular requirements of our task than
they have been, and what | want to
say is that the men and the women
who devote their thought and their
energy to these things will be serv-
ing the country and conducting the
fight for peace and freedom Just as
truly and just as effectively as the
men on the battlefield or in the
trenches.
Workers a Great Service Army.
"The industrial forces of the coun-
try, men and women alike, will be
great national great international,
service army-a notable and honored
host engaged in the service of the
nation and the world, the efficient
friends and saviors of free men
everywhere.
Thousands, nay, hundreds of thou
sands of men otherwise liable to mill
tary service will of right and of ne
cessity be excused from that service
and assigned to the fundamental, sus-
tanning work of the fields and fac
tories and mines, and they will be
as much a part of the great patriotic

Aid Of All Asked by
President Wilson

Washington.-In a personal appeal
addressed to his fellow countrymen,
President Wilson calls on every
American citiZen-man, woman and
child-to join together to make the
nation unit for the preservation Of
its ideals and for triumph of democ-
racy in the war. The address in part
follows:
MY Fellow Countrymen:
"The entrance of our beloved
country into the grim and terrible
war for democracy and human rights
which has shaken the world, creates
so many problems of national life and
action which call for immediate con-
sideration and settlement that hope
you will permit me to address to you
a few words of earnest counsel and
appeal with regard to them.
1--WE are rapidly putting our navy
upon an effective war footing and
are about to create and equip great
army, but these are the simplest parts
of the great task to which we have
addressed ourselves. There is not a
single selfish element, so far as l can
see, in the cause we are fighting for.
We are fighting for what we believe
and wish to be the rights Of mankind
and for the future peace and security
of the world.
Service Without Profit.
ITO do this great thing worthily
and successfully we must devote our
selves to the service without regard
to profit or material advantage and
with an energy and intelligence that
will rise to the level Of the enterprise
itself.
These, then, arc the things we
must do and do well. besides fight
ing-thc things without which mere
fighting would be fruitless:
I'VE must supply abundant food
for ourselves and our armies and our
seamen not only, but also for large
part Of the nations with whom we
have now made common cause, in
whose support and by whose sides we
shall be fighting.
1--WE must supply ships by the hun

THE SUB SITUATION.
Secretary.

News from London is that the losses
increase because more submarines are
expected to operate in the next few
ton is that a large number were at
German bases being overhauled and
The sub scare is chronic. For a pc
riod the thing is solved the subs show
settle the dangers in their minds. Then
comes a period of depression abroad,
out tells US about the success of the
submersibles. The lack of results dur
ing the past few weeks may be due to
an absence of the u-boats as set forth
by London, or to the Withholding of an
nouncements concerning the losses of
ships.
Apparently we are not able to count
upon any very definite information as
to the losses. In the meantime rumors
of some tremendously vital discovery
fades away into the reality of gun fight
with subs and sunken American ships
The most promising contrivance, to our
mind, is the Hammond aerial torpedo,
which is in the stage of experimental
success.

RED CROSS NOTES
BY Miss Arvi!la Kenfield
Press Reporter

The following letter was received
by the local chapter of the Red
Cross:
To the Board of Directors of the
Red Cross, City.
Dear friends: AS I am leaving
the city indefinitely I wish to pre-
sent my resignation to your board
and offer my best wishes to you in
your work which is going to be so
much needed in the future.
Yours truly,
E. H. MARCUM.
The best of good wishes go to Cap
tain Marcum from this chapter and
from the city of Bemidji in the noble
work he is going to perform.
Many questions have arisen as to
the attitude of the American Red
Cross toward Germans wounded on
the battlefield, and also toward Am
orleans of German origin affiliating
themselves with Red Cross hospital
units going abroad To make clear
the attitude of the Red Cross, Henry
P. Dawson, chairman of the War
Council, authorizes the following
statement:
When war was declared between
the United States and Germany, the
neutrality of the American Red
Cross Of course ended automa tically.
The American Red Cross can COOP
crate only behind the lines of the
armies Of the United States and it's
allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of a wound
ed man. And wounded enemy turn
ed over to the care of the American
Red Cross will receive as kindly
treatment as any friend.
The Red Cross will not only ex-
tend every aid and comfort to the
armies of America and it's allies, but
lit will assist in every possible way
the sick, wounded and afflicted
among the civilian populations
among our allied countries. This
IL in conformity with the practice
Of the Red Cross society in every
country.
