SHORT OF WAR STRENGTH

President Wilson's CALI for yalun-
teers for the United States army
met with a weak response last week
and as result, the army remains
$4,000 short Of war strength, APPROX
imately 10000 enlistments having
been received during the seven DAYS.
The fact that soldier material IS
so hard to secure shows conclusively
that the country is still slumbering
In a state Of apathy regarding the
seriousness Of the war.
The people are ready and willing
to give their wealth-to fight the
men Of the nation apparently have
battles with dollars-but the young
not considered the war as sufficient
ly important as to cause them to
give UP their present prosperous &C.
equations. their comfortable homes
friends, relatives and sweethearts
and seek the trenches and battle
fields Of France.
And all this IS true because he
war has not been brought home to
them. Each individual is holding
back expecting the other fellow to
step forward and fill the gap and
in so doing the youth of the nation Is
aiding and abetting the enemy.
The earlier the date at which A.
merica puts her entire strength into
the war, the sonner will it be over
which means the saving of thous-
ands of lives, and that is the manner
In which the youths Of the country
should consider the war question.
Whether the government will fill
the army with conscripted men is
point for conjecture. Wheeling Reg

The Founding of the Red Cross

Mr.. Henri Dunant, Swede, inaugu-
rated the founding of the Red Cross.
In 1859 he was in Italy and visited the
battle field of Solferino. He was APP
palled at the terrible and needless suf-
fering of the soldiers. and he gave his
attention to system of organized re-
lief. He published a book, Recollect-
tions of Solferino, which aroused great
interest and sympathy. In Geneva he
addressed the Society of Public Utility
on this subject, and stirred the people
to enthusiasm in his plans. He gave
his time to speaking and writing and lab
ored indefatigably to win adherents to
this cause. He consulted with high
officials in European courts.
The Red Cross treaty provides that
surgeons, nurses, ambulance trains.
and all hospital supplies are considered
neutral, provided they display a uniform
badge and flag. accompanied by their
national flag The protective sign and
flag agreed upon was red Greek cross
with white ground, the reverse of
the Swiss flag. This was suggested in
compliment to Mr.. Dunant and the
Swiss government. The only country
which'objected to this flag was Turkey.
In their hatred of the Christian symbol,
they refused to work under a banner
with cross; so Turkey substitutes a
red crescent for the cross.

This is a New One

We have all heard of the coal dealer
selling what looked like mighty small
ton of coal and smaller quantities that
looked plenty small. That sort of thing
is probably nearly as old as the coal
business, because all of US wish Che tons
were large enough to last longer, where
as the most serious draw back about all
coal is that it will burn up. But this is
a different story, and good one. 1t
refers to a Clio coal dealer. to-wit, +.
M. Houghton & Co., who sold j. A.
Peek three tons of hard coal. When Mr..
Peek decided to move he wanted to
sell the coal. but his customer refused to
take it at the Dealers weight, so they
weighed it over again and it overran
400 pounds. whereat the customer was
wiser and sadder and Mr.. Peek was
happy. Just here we may say that
Clio has been as we'll taken care of in
regard to coal, since that commodity
became scarce, as any place. large or
small, in the country. In some places
in Michigan not car load of hard coal
has been available this year. but Mr..
Houghton has been able to take care of
his customers with both hard and soft
coal practically all of the time. 1t is
true that he has not had enough to sell
everybody all that they have wanted.
but he has been able to sell them enough
to prevent actual hardship. There
fore, 'glory be" to the coal dealer
who sells good measure, heaped up,
running over" and may his connection
with the coal business terminate with
his earthly career.

Celebrates SOth Birthday

Enard Leach no doubt felt some regret
upon the approach of his eightieth
birthday. 1t is common for most of us
who have reached the westward slope
to wish that our birthdays were max
ing us younger instead of older. But
when the evening of Mr.. Leach's birth
day, which was last Saturday, came, he
was made to feel that there are COM
pensations for the passing of many
years. On that occasion about twenty
five of his neighbors gathered at his
residence and proceeded in the most
agreeable manner to make known their
regard for him and to make his birth
day happy. The evening was delight
fully spent and bountiful supper was
served. Incidentally, Mr.. Leach was
presented with a fine smoking set and
when his guests departed for their homes
it was with hearty wishes that their
venerable and genial host might live in
health and prosperity to enjoy many
more birthday anniversaries.
Now, to make Mr.. Leach's cup full and
running over, it happened that all his
children and grandchildren, to the num-
ber of thirty-five. excepting only Ray
mond Allen, who is a soldier boy and
stationed at Waco, Texas, gathered at
his home on Sunday for a joyous re-
union. We couldn't tell just what was
done if we tried, but it was just one Of
those rarely happy times when the chill
dren all come home to renew the tender
memories of childhood days and to car
ry father and mother back in happy
recollection to the time when they were
more active than now and had their
boys and girls about them. AS we have
said. Mr.. Leach is eighty years of age,
but he is still very active and takes as
much interest in current affairs as
any younger man. Our congratulations
we could wish to add to chose of his
children and friends upon this happy oc-
casion.
