Women Serving Soldiers.

Mrs. Luther H. Quick, of Name,
director of the Camp Fire Girls of
America, after spending ten days in
an American hut in France, declared
that American women would be serv-
ing hot chocolate to the soldiers in the
front line trenches if the authorities
would permit.
shall our European army have less
than 100000 fighting men.
This must be the American spirit.
The man or woman who does not real
ize this situation, and is not willing to
make this supreme sacrifice, has not
yet realized the task that is ahead Of
US, nor the responsibility which has
been placed upon US.
Let us stir into a living, burning,
flame all our energies to scoreh and
blast the murderers and outragers and
hooters who have blackened the name
of Germany as no other country in
human history.
Let US build fighting machine sur
passing Germany's to the extent that
heaven surpasses1 hell; that liberty
surpasses slavery; that American men
of honor surpass the british German
outragers; that the honor of American
women surpasses the lustful crimes of
the German soldiers.
Not until we have reached this stage
in our war work and sent forward to
the battlefields of France 100000 Of
the best blood Of America, with at
least 100000 more trained men
ready to go forward, and all backed by
united, determined fighting nation,
will we have measured up to the task
that is before us and made certain the
saving of our civilization from Ger
man damnation.
No terms of peace should ever be
considered until the armies of the al
lies have marched millions string
through Germany and Austria, md

LIEUT.. ROBERTS, FIRST VICTIM
FORMER LITTLE FALLS BOY
TELLS OF EXPERIENCES AS
AVIATOR

Lieutenant E. M. Roberts, who is a
nephew Of Mrs. p. S. Tanner and Mrs.
Camille Dugas, of this city, was born
in Little Falls, the family moving to
Winnipeg when he was child He
enlisted in the English Royal Flying
corps from Canada and was discharg-
ed after . service of 81 months on ac-
count of wounds. and is at present
lecturing in this country.
The following interesting narrative
by Lieut.. Roberts is taken from the
New York Times:
IT was up about 10000 feet over
the somme front, and I want to tell
YOU it was cold. I thought I'd freeze,
and T said to myself: 'I'll just do a
dive and tail spin through that big
clcud below me. Maybe by tla time
/ oct out of it the excitement will have
warmed me up Bit I shot down,
spun around and lurched out If the
cloud almost against a big German
craft. We wern't more than 40 feet
apart, SO close that neither of-us corl
turn to attack the other without the
assurance that we'd ram each other
and both come down. That wasn't the
idea Of either of US.
*'Ta1k about being warm! L was
hot all over with the surprise and ex-
citenncnt of it, but neither lost his
head. As long as we kept on the same
level and as close to each other as we
were then, we were safe, for our ma
chine guns were mounted fast to the
planes, and you had to turn the whole
machine to aim one of them. You can
bet we did some pretty fine jockeying
to keep close together, and for what
seemed like hours we sailed along
side by side, seemingly the only things
in the sky. We were so close could
see the wrinkles about the Ge4 man 8
mouth, and presently they drew up as
he broke into smile and waved his
arm at me. I waved back, thinking to
myself: sAll right, old chap; if you
dom want to fight, you We got nothing
on me.' You see, it was my first OK
perience alone in a fighting plane, and
the ground certainly looked miles
away, with that big chap grinning
over at me.
"But presently, Just as I was won
dering if we were going to sail on for
ever, he dived, came up beneath ME,
and let me have it. His bullets went
through my planes, but none Of them
got vital spot, and I wasn' It touched:
I went over on my back, looped behind
him, and let him have it with my
Lewis gun. I was so close I could SAG
that stream Of bullets hit him at the
waistline and practically cut his legs
off. He pitched over in his seat, the
machine bucked, and then shot down,
and I circlcd about above him, watch
ing him crash down toward the earth.
I was glad it was he rather than my
self; but, gee, home did look good to
me- when I got behind our lines.''

'|IHEfAITH of5al|lEI[RcANISn'' n
Is SUBJECT Of; PATRIOTIC ADJ
DRESS BY REV. STACEY AT
HIGH 'sMooL

A good sized. audience last night
heard patriotic address at the high
school auditorium, delivered by Rev.
n. G.: Stacey Of Brainerd, under the
auspices Of the America First associa-
tion of this city. Rev. Stacey is an
able speaker and he gave very good
address.
Rev. Stacey chose as the subject for
his talk ttThe Faith Of Americanism,
and he described how this faith has.
step by step, grown until now it is a
worldwide subject. Rev. Stacey stat
ed that this faith has been brought
out in four great: documents, the fist
OF which was the Declaration of In
dependence. This document was the
basis for the Faith Of Americanism.
he said. ~ .'-., ,..t- =
He went on to sa y that the princi-
pie of democracy has proved success
full in America and he told how We
nave Kept out autocratic colonization.
We invited colonization here, but
none were permitted to come here with
any antagonistic spirit regarding this
principle. It was proved by the De-
claration of Independence that men
can govern themselves. Lincoln,s
Gettysburg address confirms this and
goes on to say that this kind of gov
ernment should continue. The Civil
war was war to eliminate autocracv
IN our midst, namely slavery, which
was against the principle of freedom
and that all men are created equal.
Americanism, we define it, has been
extended by President Wilson to apply
to the whole world. The right came
to be an aggressive one and one that
should be international in its scope.
Rev. Stacey defined the German
"kultur" as principle that might is
right. In that country is maintained
the divine right of state In America
are the rights Of the people. Germany
worships Napoleon, he said, while AM
erica worships The Man of Nazareth.
The speaker went on to show the
three phases of historical development.
me first, he said, was power, personi-
fed in Nimrod; the second was intel
lect, personified in Homer, and the
third was goodness, personifed in the
Man OF Nazareth. Germany has swung
back to the childhood days, the days
OF Nlmrod, he said. He then told
about the German demons of tho air.
namely the airplanes and zeppelins.
bombing unfortifcd towns and killino
noncombatants and bombing hospitals.
and of the demons of the sea, namely
the submarine, pirates of the sea. The
speaker then asked his hearers to COM
pare the two principles, that of Amer
lca e with its policy Of freedom, and
Ge7many's policy Of force, and he ask.
Cd if there could be any question as
to what side we should be on and
whether the American ideal is worth
hghtlng for. He concluded by saving
that If Germany wins America will be
forced to pay tribute to her; the Ger
man soldiers will occupy our streets
and will bayonet the women and chill.
dren the same as they have been do.
ing IN Belgium. First, we need in
tense Americanism, next is needed the
retention of the leadership of Amcri-
ca among the nations Of the world. for
II America is to extend it's faith to tho
world she must lead in it.
