1t was shortly before the curtain went up o Augustus Does His
Bit" which, by the way, received its American premier that night The
British officers had come behind the scenes and stood talking to Augustus.
81 want to apologize for not having your regulation coat" said Augustus.
"This was the best we could do"
"Take mine" said one officer and out of his coat he came at once.
Despite protests Augustus o stood clothed in a real English army coat
There was just one fault remaining in his costume, and this was spotted
at once by another of the EngHshmen. "Your collar is white and it ought
to be khaki" said the officer "Here, take mine"
"But 1 can't take your collar" protested Augustus.
"You must" replied the Engnshman.
So Augustus did his bit.

WON FAME AS STATESMAN

One of the most picturesque fig
ures in the senate is that of Senator
Knute Nelson, whose decision to retire
from the senate has met with insistent
protest on the part of his friends. But
inasmuch as he has the reputation of
being "the hardest-headed individual
in the senate" it is not thought likely
that even President Wilson's letter
urging him to return will induce any
change of mind. He has been Min
nesota's senator for four successive
terms, since 1895.
Born in Voss, Norway, in 1S43, de-
scended, as he says himself, from a
long line of Norwegian pirates, Knute
Nelson anne to the United States with
his mother when six years old, and
they made their first American home in
Chicago. Knute helped his mother by
selling papers in the streets. Later
they moved to Wisconsin, and for three
years he attended the academy at
Albion. In the Civil war he entered

toriaI Candidate to Speak
1t Shrine Auditorium,

Charles A. Lindbergh of Little
calls, Mimi, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor, in
lorsed by the farmers and workers of
he state, will speak at a campaign
ally next Monday night at the Shrine
Auditorium, Second avenue East and
first street, under the auspices of the
ionpartisan league.
Mr.. Lindbergh represented the Sixth
district in congress for ten years, dur
ng which time he was an ardent ad-
'ocate of justice for the masses. Since
re has become q gubernatorial candi-
late, allegations have been made that
le is disloyal and is hindering the
government in the prosecution of the
var. Because of this his speech in
Duluth will be of much Importance,
,ffording an opportunity for local
'oters to pass upon these charges.
- Every decent citizen in the United
;tates is convinced that our war aims
re absolutely just" says Mr.. Lind
'ergh, land that the presidents peace
ent citizen in the United States is
'ehlnd this war and willing to- make
very sacrifice to carry it through
victory. Modern warfare, however,
IS not alone a question of military
night. Every productive resource of
very belligerent nation is being
trained to the utmost and the ma
ion which first falters beneath this
train will be defeated, even though
is armies seem victorious. Production
N the fields and in the factories at
lome is just as important as the
lighting on the battlefields abroad.
People Are United.
"Once more I say that the Amer
can people are united to win the war.
The man who says otherwise is lying
or political effect and these lies them
elves tend to divide the people and
AIRY aid and comfort to the enemy.
The only Huns within our Gates that
know of are the men who stand at
he crossroads of commerce in this

ur nation needs every pound Of feed
nd every dollar. These same inter-

tight against autocracy abroad are
themselves openly fighting demo- racy
t home. They would even suspend
he rights of free speech and peaceable
.ssemblage, because they know that
t meetings like these, their disloyalty
will be exposed, even though their
ubsidized newspapers do remain
ilent.
"As candidate Of the National Nom
PARTISAN league for governor, I serve
lotice here and now that this I'M
american plot will be defeated. We
intend to expose the profiteers and
carry the truth to the people, We
re going to unite the people that

will not be stopped by the efforts of
