A PROCLAMATION

On September 90, 1918. in accord
ance with Departmental policy and
the Proclamation of the President, the
people of the United States will a.
gain be given opportunity to assist
their country in its supreme task by
the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
On that day the Fourth Liberty
Loan will be inaugurated and 1 u:ge
upon the people Of South Dakota a
continuance of the remarkable record
which we have already made by our
financial response to the requests
from the Government.
Our quotas have teen great; our
patriotism is greater. Our boys over
there are doing their part; we also
must do ours. Inspiring reports from
the battle front are being received
but these must not cause those who
remain at home to diminish their
efforts in even slightest mea.ure
rather, they should prove powerful
incentive and lead US on to Increased
endeavor. Our soldiers are not shirk-
ing their duty; neither do they at
tempt to shift their responsibility;
nor among them is there se]6shness or
weakening the result in this state
of the last liberty loan proves there
will be none here.
In order that we may have thorough
cooperation among all agencies and
united effort in sending our state
over the top in this drive hereby
declare that Saturday, September %.
1918, shall be known as
Liberty Loan Subscription Day
in and for the State Of South Dakota
and that it may be observed as hol-
iday throughout the entire state.
In Testimony Whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State Of
South Dakota at the Capitol in the
City of Pierre this 18th day of Sep
tember, 1913.

The encouraging report comes
through State Fuel Administrator
Bickelhaupt that South Dakota is to
have her full allotment of anthracite
coal, amounting to 166,OO gross
tons. He has been advised by Charles
p. White, who is in charge Of the
Lake and Canadian Distribution, that
orders have been placed with the pro-
ducers and shipping companies to for
ward the amount to Lake Ports as
soon as possible. It may be little
disappointing to learn that our coal
is still at the mine but let us be
thankful that it is mined and delivery
ordered.

CHAs. McCAFFREE,

The various Mennonite colonies are
rapidly disposing of their holdings in
this state and are moving to Canada
where they hope to evade military
service. They seem to rely for i'm
uunity in Canada upon an old treaty
with the Canadian government which
they claim exempted conscientious OBJ
jectors from military service for a
term of years, not yet expired. We
are not posted on the validity of this
claim, but it is very evident that in
order to avail themselves of the ad-
vantages of such treaty they would
first have to become citizens of Cana
da. In view of the treaty existing
between Canada and this government
it is not likely that Canada would
grant citizenship to persons coming as
refugees from this country to escape
military service if any protest were
made from this government. Howev-
er our state council of defense seems
to regard their removal as the shift
ing of liability rather than an as
set. and is prescribing conditions un-
der which they may depart.
Some time ago, after legal investi-
cation of the status of these societies,
the state council instituted legal pro-
csedings to annul their charters, on
the grounds that from their own ac-
knowledgement they are living under
religious code which they regard as
superior to the laws of the state or
federal government. and that the
charters granted them are therefore
illegal. To prevent tht disposal of
their property before the decision was
made in this case lis pendens was
filed in every county in which they
held property. There are four sep
arate corporations represented: The
Hutterische Bruder Gemeinde of Bon
Homme county, with colonies; Hut
terische Bruder Gemeinde of Yankton
county. with 2 colonies; Hutterische
Gemeinde of Elmsprings, with 4 colo
MES, and the Hutrerische Society of
Wolf Greek, with colonies.
Recently soles have been negotiated
by several of these colonies, and ap-
plication was made to the council of
defense, both by the sellers and pur-
chasers Of the property, for release of
the lis pendens so that legal title
could be given. The executive COM
mittee of the council has therefore
made the following conditional offer:
81 per cent of the proceeds of all
sales. both of real estate and personal
property, to be invested in Liberty
Loan Bonds, and ! Of per cent do
mated to the Red Cross. Under these
conditions six of the colonies have
already sold and sales are pending on
three others. The action of the coun-

Even more than in Germany is the
army Il part of the daily life of the
Swiss.
With this spirit of militariSm part
of the daily national life there is moth
ing of militarism in the attitude of the
people, because all the preparation and
system Of training is purely for de-
Tense and not for aggression. At the
same time it is believed that the train

The most remarkable of ali the vari-
Gus humanitarian undertakings in the

at Geneva. The huge amount of work
performed by this institution ana
other benevolent organizations in
Switzerland is reflected by the latest
report given out by the Swiss postal
authorities. This shows that since the
beginning of the war until the end of
October, 1917, 334,772,0S1 letters and

Pity for Unmarried


When we consider the ordinary lives
of unmarried men, we must give them
our pity for they have deprived them
selves of anxiety, says W. L. George, in
Harpers Magazine. Nearly all earn
as much as they need, and nearly all,
in their isolation and purpOselessness,
learn to need all that they earn.
Their work done, their pockets full
enough. there is no mortgage on their
time, no compulsiOn as to their resi-
tence. no demand that they should in
terest themselves in the occupations
or ideas of wife, or child or friend
in anything, indeed, except themselves.
a limited field for ones interest, for
soon one can know ones self too well,
and intimacy may breed contempt.
Marriage releases you from the I'M
real by giving you many real things
to think about, by satisfying your need
for association with the solid earth.
That need satisfied, your spirit is free
to wander in the unreal, in abstract
thought, in artistic desire, instead of
being bound by the continual aspiration
of the unmarried to the real things
they do not possess.

ne plleu MS QueSIoLs'
"How many men could your coun-
try put in the field in a week?' In
quired the German emperor.
"About five hundred thousand" an
swered his guide, slightly eXaggerating
the real number.
"What if | should come against you
with II million men?"
''In that case, your majesty" suave-
ly replied the Swiss general, 1--WE
should have TO shoot twice"
This anecdote may or may not be
authentic, but it serves to show the
true military quality of the Swiss
army, which for its size and cost is
one Of the finest bodies of marksmen
in the world.
From the days of the mythical Will
liam Tell and the ample the Swiss have
made shooting Il national sport. Prob
ably no army in the world can show
so high an attainment for sharpshOOt
ing as the Swiss, and during the last
three years the knowledge of this
quality no doubt has not been entirely
without effect in the preservation of
the Swiss neutrality.
Surrounded by belligerents since the
war was begun in 1914, Switzerland
has been able to maintain its neutral
ity, and this despite the fact that with
in her borders are opinions that sharp
ly favor one or the other of the coun-
tries at war.
While the cantOns which border the
German empire are, so far as the
issues of the war go, profoundly pro-
German, and while the inhabitants of
the majority of the cantOns speak
nothing but German. this favor does
not extend further than the borders
of the country. Switzerland as a
country is Il neutral state, and has
refused to enter the war on either
side.
Self-preservatiOn plays a great part
in this view, no doubt, for were the
country to align itself with the cen
trail powers it would soon be Overrun
from the south and west by the troops
of the allies, only too eager to find a
more direct route into the center of
Germany. On the other hand, any
attempt to ally itself with the entente
powers would result in having German
troops pour over the eastern borders in
such numbers that the little country
could not expect to escape suffering.
The part assigned her in the great war
has been recognized by all the bellig-
erents as that Of the Good Samaritan.
And there the little country stands in
the midst of wars alarms, serenely on
guard, but otherwise playing the
part of the neutral and the friend
of all.
One of these days there will be a
peace conference, and as almost every
civilized nation is now engaged in the
war on one side or the other, indica-
tions point to Switzerland as being
the logical country for round table
talk of the powers. and. furthermore
the capital of Switzerland, Berne, un-
dOubtedly is the place where such
conference will be held.
