cupied every mind. Such unanim-

future.
That surely is an event of far
more than merely financial impor-
lance There was an old lady in
country district who turned pale as
paper when she handed over her
carefully gathered nest egg Of 5000
and thereby trusted her future to
the good faith Of Uncle Sam. The
wageworker, too, who saves one dol
lar week to pay for his bond has
new and increasing stake in the
country. These boys and girls at
school who are putting their pocket
money into stamps will be the less
likely to turn against America in
the years to come. Brilliant artists
have generously drawn cartoons.
Actors and actresses and movie
stars have done their bit, and it was
big one. Great churches have or
ganized impressive services. Sol
oiers and sailors, with their moth
ers, wives and sweethearts, have
marched on parade. Every man
with a voice has worn it out, in
street and theatre, where people
congregate. Even in America there
has been no national effort so Wig
orous, detailed and farreaching as
this. 1t marks an epoch in the evo-
luton Of free and responsible citi-
zenship.
For it means, once for all, that
no one can live, even in this free
country, and take everything with
out giving everything in exchange.
1t is not enough to refrain from dis
loyalty. You must be loyal or YOU
must be an outlaw. There is no
statute compelling a man to buy

opinion, and public opinion is

Reaction
Inevitable
The policy of Germany has in
evitably assisted this determination
by Americans of alien race. The
Kaiser has backed up tho Turk
against the Armenian and the Jew.
He has robbed and deceived the
Russian. He has brutally NAL
treated the Pole. He has ruthless
ly thrown down the Bolsheviki, the
Socialists, the pacifsts. A reac-
ton is therefore inevitable among
those people, here and in England
whose sympathies are thus tram
pied upon. Public opinion makes
no protest when German newspa-
pers disappear, when religious SER
vices are changed to the national
language, when compulsion to learn
German is dropped in the schools,
and when artists who favor, or
are supposed to favor, Germany
drop from favor. America, as it
seems to a spectator, has to be just
to herself, to her institutions, her
citizenship, before she can be gen.
erous to her enemies.

The custom Of dressing for dinner
was handed down TO us from the Ro-

To Entrain for Camp Sherman at
Chillicothe, Ohio, on August 26th.
John R. Erickson, Wheaton, III.
Milton Meredith, Bristol.

Twenty more Kenosha county men
were ordered to hold themselves in
readiness for services in the United
States National Army by the city
and county exemption boards today.
The city board has called eleven men
and three alternates from the list of
men reserved for special service to go
to Camp Dodge at DesMoines, Iowa, on
August 30th and the county has called
four Of its special service men for the
same entrainment. This will be the
first quota Of Kenosha county men TO
be sent to Camp Dodge and they are
called to work along non-combatant
lines. The two men called by the
county to go to Camp Sherman are
called for general service.
The entertainment of these men was
ordered some time ago aud the men
will be modified on the day of en-
trainment. They will be expected to
keep themselves in readiness from
the time they receive, the formal call
of the two boards.
The work of organizing the forces
for the registration to take place on
next Saturday was well under way to-
day and the boards have also begun
to make plans for the proposed big
registration Of all men between the
ages OF IS and 81 and 81 and 45 which
it is expected will be held early in
September. It is expected that at
this registration the plan to be fol-
lowed will be the same as at the regis
tration on June 5th, 1917.
The young men who have attained
the age of twenty-one years since the
9Th day of last June, must register on
next Saturday. There will be just two
places for registration. One will be
at the City Hall where all Of the
city men will be cared for and the
other at the county building where
new registrants from the county will
be enrolled.
Big posters were being put up in all
the factories today calling attention
to the fact that this registration is
to be held on Saturday and announce
ment of the registration is being made
nightly in all of the theatres in the city.
