To Go Oct. 13

Advices received by Local Board
of District No. 8, are that fourteen
men are to be sent to Camp Dodge
on or about Oct. 10.
The local board has been consi-
derably handicapped by the tardi-
ness of the District Exemption
Board who have a list of Enacted
names before them since August
IS. Twenty of these names are
from the first sc examined. The
local board has at present only four
names available for the call as
made. While they have names
enough certified for considerable of
a list, they are bound to keep with
ing the sc called in the first quota
in the order of liability.
1t is expected that the 20 claims
now before the district board will
be acted upon with dispatch and
that the IA men will be sent out as
per orders.

and Mr.. Murphy will do his full
duty. It is fully expected that Dy

This issue of, bonds will bear in

there has been some delay in get
ting the first bonds to the pur-
chasers the government is behind
them and bonds will be delivered
as fast as the printers. and officials
can turn them out. 1t is under
stood that the first purchase can be
turned over for the second issue
bearing Il per cent more of interest.

A fellow signing himself y. s."
in the Open Court column of the
Duluth Herald has opened a dis
cussion on the board furnished by
the lumber camps. This fellow
was evidently an l. w. w. and
found fault with the board in order
to find some excuse for living up
to his red ticket" teachings. The
board furnished in the camps IN
this vicinity is much better than
the board this fellow was used to.
This is plainly noticeable from his
"roughneck" screed. He also
saws the Thermometer registered
80 degrees below zero and lays this
up against the lumber companies.
His statement that the beds are un-
clean can be attributed to just such
fellows like himself who are too
lazy to keep himself or his bunk
clean. The St. Croix and the
Swallow & Hopkins companies
operating in this district make it
particular point to see that their
men are furnished with wholesome
food and warm beds. AS their
camps are sometimes 40 or more
miles from the base of supplies, all
of which must be toted to the scene
of operations, this is sometimes a
hard matter.

arms. We are fighting this war
because Germany has made war
upon us. America is a peaceful
Nation; we have no lust for con-
quest, no desire for annexation OF
territory; we are defending our
selves against Germany because
the Imperial Government entered
upon a program which meant the
destruction of all American IN
situations.
When we finally recognized
that Germany was waging war
upon us we had seen more than
|s225 Americans, among them many
women and children, killed by
submarines; hospital ships had
been sunk and unfortified towns
had been bombed and bomb
barded. Medals had been struck
in honor of the sinking of the Lu-
sitania, the murderous act by
| which so many of our men, wo-
men and children, lost their lives.
German officials had treated the
United States, a neutral nation
as an enemy. Strikes were or.
ganized in this country, plants
were blown up, pro-German pub
locations were founded and sub
sidized, and hatred of America
was Systematically sought to be
inculcated among our foreign
born inhabitants. Every effort
was made to involve us in trouble
with Japan and Mexico. Our re
peated protests were mdt with
promises and explanations which
were little better than insults.
The imperial government fl
nally proclaimed the unrestricted
destruction Of neutral ships upor
the high seas. 1t was the Motif
cation to the United States that
our people were no longer sover
eign, and that if they would sal
the seas in safety we must con
form to conditions laid down by
a Government that defied inter
national law, humanity, and ele
mental morality.

THE Firms

The Crystal Falls Diamond
Drill has some good arguments.
Thos. Conlin, the editor, seems to
have the situation sized up about
right in a recent issue where he
spoke as follows concerning the
Films of the country:
"The Firms are being censured
all over the peninsula because of
their Stacker tendencies. Several
OF our contemporaries have
pointed out that almost all of the
Films are seeking exemption on
the ground that they are aliens.
1t is a fact that most of those who
registered as Of Finnish nativity
are seeking exemptions in this
county and, undoubtedly, the
same proportion holds true in
other sections.
"But it is not fair to include
all Of the Finnish people in this
charge and especially the Ameri-
can-born Finn. They are just as
brave and just as loyal las the
American-born descendants of
any other nationality.
"There is an explanation of the
TACT that so many young Firms
are seeking exemption or are
slackers. Finland has lived for
the past generation in a constant
state Of hostility to the govern
ment under which it existed.
Russian government methods
alienated the Finnish people and
the young men who have immi-
grated to our shores were reared
IN an atmosphere Of hostility and
intrigue towards government.
The Finnish socialism is not so
much an economic aim with the
Firms as it is IA political goal.
Finnish socialism gradually
broadens into anarchism because
the Finn in his native land set up
resolve to be rid of the govern
ment to which he owed allegiance.
Almost all of the Firms came
here to escape governmental re-
strictions which were oppressive
and the seed of anarchy which
