ALL MUST JOIN
TO WIN THE WAR
Stirring Appeal Made by James
NJ Tunnel at Mt. Pleasant
School Commencement.

Declaring that class distinction III
America has been obliterated and that all
must exert every energy to win the war,
James NJ Tunnel of Georgetown made
deep impression at Mt. Pleasant school.
Brandywine hundred, where he was the
commencement orator last night
"At the time of the declaration of war
against Germany by the United States,
the public was divided into two prln-
cipal classes" Mr. Tunnel said Cone
of these classes contended that the
Administration had been too slow in urg-
ing declaration of war Those who COM
posed this group professed to believe that
war should have been declared on Ger
many when the German army entered
Belgium or ut any rate when the lhlsi-
tana WAS sunk The other great clnss
favored further attempt at settlement oi
International difficulties by negotiation.
II was this class which had swung the
great West and South To Wilson IN 1916,
rc-clecting him to the Presidency under
conditions which seemed Ia make such
an outcome impossible This class was
slow To realize that conditions existing
when Martin Glvnn made his famous
speech eulogizing President Wilson for
HIS policy had changed rbose who had
followed the teachings Of William J.
Bryan were slow 10 change their views on
a subject involving the welfare OF their
postcrIty 10 the thrd generation.
Those who had at 81 Louis heard that
most wonderful Grafton OF Senator Reed
of Missouri picturlng tho war and suffer
ing of w,r-strlcken Europe, in comparison
with the prosperity and happiness ot
America hesitated 10 encourage our leap
into the whirlpool Of a world war
There were two smaller but not less
sincere classes, one of which believed that a
declaration OF war had been made Mt
exactly the right time. while the other
class was opposed 10 war under any
conditions However. when war was
declared by the nited States. people OF
the three dissenting classes began To
realize that this was their war They
realized that the old flag around which
their ancestors had fought. bIcd and died
was again unfurlcd They realized that

NO STATE FAIR WILL BE
 HELD IS FINAL DECISION

Positive announcement of the can cellation of the state fair for this year was made Thursday by Cecil n. Boyce, secretary of the fair commits siCn.
 In reaching the decision to call of the 1918 fair, the commission was guided largely by the advice of Dr. O. H. Brown, state health officer, who believed that the holding of the big show this year would be inadvisable, owing to the prevalence of influenza throughout the state.

the tariff schedules shall be. The special in terests have more at stake in this country than they ever had befroe anywhere Is 1t any won der they want the Republicans back in power during the reconstruction period after the war, when the re-adjustment of these tremendously big questions is to be made?
 Do you see now why the Republicans are making such strenuous efforts to get control again?
 We have a contest on. There are about 20 states where we have real fight for Unit ed States Senators, and about 175 Congress- ;Onal districts where we have real fights for Congressmen. What are you doing to help?
 You know the wonderful record of achieve ment of our party since President Wilson was elected. You know the constructive and pro- gressive laws which have been passed affect ing our domestic and economic affairs.
 You know our glorious war record. We stayed out until the fullness of time, but since going in we have amazed the world and amaz- ed ourselves with what we have done in every line of activity. President Wilson has handled the whole situation in such a way that he has not only the loving and enthusiastic ad- miration of our own people, but he has by the very force of merit won the place of world lead
 
 dom and democracy.
 Is he not entitled to the support of con- gress that is with him on the 100 per cent basis, not only on war matters but on his other pro- grams?
 You realize Republican congress means divided authority. Do you want him to be blocked in this great world enterprise by any such obstruction? Don't you realize that any ar. ing, means lessening of our war efficiency?
 If President Wilson up for reelec- tion: you know the sacrifices you would make +o prevent the disruption and humiliation his defeat would cause. You would not only exert yourself to carry your precinct, your county, ,-opr state. but would make sacrifices to help carry other precincts, counties and states where the fight might be harder.
 The election of Republican congress in November would be viewed as a defeat for President Wilson by our allies, and particular lv by our enemies. It would be viewed in Germany a proof of their unwarranted claim that our country is not behind our war President. It would be a source of comfort and elation to the Kaiser and his cohorts.
 What Col. Roosevelt, then candidate for Governor of New York, said in 1898, during the Spanish American war, is as true now as 1t was then. He said:
 Remember that whether you will or not your votes this year will be viewed by the na- tions of Europe from one standpoint only A refusal to sustain the President this year will, in their eyes, be read refusal to sus- tain the war and to sustain the efforts of our Peace Commission to secure the fruits of war. It will give heart to our defeated antagon- ists.''

DEMOCRATS MUST WAKE UP.

The Democrats have gone right along at- tending to the business of winning the war. It is now time for us to wake up to the situ- ation regarding the election in November, which is close at hand.
 Special interests don't like the way the Democrats have been doing things-to give a square deal to the average and woman. They don't like the giving up of the control of credits, which the federal reserve bank has taken away from them. They look with hungry eyes at the railroads, which the government has taken overland the telephones and the telegraph lines. They look greedily at tic merchant marine which the government is de- veloping at an unbelievable rate of speed; they want to have charge of the trade treaties which must be made; they want to say what

SUGAR ALLOTMENT IS
 RAISED TO 8 POUNDS

R. K. Minson, County Food Ad- ministrator of GreenIee County, upon advice today from the Fed eral Food Administration for Arl- zona, announces the following in regard to the distribution of su- gar for November:
 Retal dealers, and public eating places, including hotels, restau- rants and boarding houses, may obtain certificates for their Nov ember allotment on basis of THREE pounds per person per month instead of TWO pounds as allotted in October,
 There will be no change in the allotment to bakers, soft drink parlors, ice cream and candy nak CTS, bottling works, soft drink manufacturers or for packing or preparing products in which su- gar is used.
 Families may also purchase their whole months allowance at one time on basis of THREE pounds per persona multiplied by the number of persons, includ- ing the servants, if any, in the family.
 This loosening up in the distri- button of sugar at this particular time is due to the cessation of the great cereal movement through out the country and the stoppage of exports to move army tonnage. has caused greater ability of the transportation lines to handle the countries internal traffic.
