AUGUST, 1914

Fou years ago France anC
Great Britain and little Belgium
had made the great decision
That August Of 1914 was one Of
the chief pivotal points in history
No intelligence doubts that. We
need not await the verdict of pos
terity upon it. A civilization
uniting peoples widely differing
in many qualities and achieve
ment, but one in characteristics
and ideals of greater potency,
rose to defend itself. Since then
the people Of France and Britain,
Belgium, Serbia and Italy have
written story Of heroic stead
fastness as glorious as any in the
annals Of the race, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
Four years ago the American
nation watched the issue puzzled,
wondering and aghast. Unfamil-
lar with the entanglements Of old
world politics, bewildered by the
conflicting charges and counter
charges of the belligerents, we
watched with horror the bloody
arbitrament and were anxious
only to save ourselves from a de-
strlction which seemed TO us the
work of madness.
We We're slowly to learn that
the conflict had meaning. a mean
ing which concerned vitally ourl
own soul, our own fate. When
we realized it we did not hesitate

consider the years Of heavy sacri-
flee during WHICH our allies of |
today fought for the cause which |
we know now to be our own.
America is proud Of her
strength and she will give it +
without stint. II will turn the
scale. But it is for us to remem- {
Der that our allies were first in
the field and to be modest over
the part fortune permits us to
play

tribute to France and Britain, to

CITY OF SEWARD
 NOW OUT OF DEBT

The cit! of Seward Is out of debt. Not only is the city on velvet at the present time by about $1,400 but at least $1,6OO more will come in be- tween now and the time the present council goes out which will be next month. This was the statement and the figures as presented to the city council by Treasurer Romig and he knows
 The present city councilmen went into office with deficit of about $3,- TOO. That was a bad start but the finance committee and the others watched matters carefully and every dollar that has been paid into the cof- fers of the city was paid out just as carefully.
 Treasurer Romig made an oral re- port of the city's finances and then asked that the, delinquent tax rolls should be brough down to date, that is all delinquent taxes, whether for the past year or the past five years should be brought down to the pres ent and appear in the full amount of delinquent taxes assessed against any property When the motion was put | before the council 1t was approved unanimously. Another motion was also put that the books be audited and this likewise was carried unani mously and an expert will be given this work to perform.

Contracts Of this nature are not

points himself a committee OF one to

The contractor in the District

ties with his previous motor-truck
equipment, but recently, in accord
ance with the judgment OF many
others of the largest and most ex-

the United States, he purchased an
entire fleet of fifteen one and one

loads, disposing of his old equipment
at one fell swoop.
