RUSSIANS PUTTING
UP GAME FIGHT
Continued from Page ~

German and Austrian govern
ments, the imperialist assassins,
are, nevertheless, continuing
their monstrous advance into the
inner Of Russia. The cursed
minions of William and the Ger
man Kaledines together with the
white guards, are advancing
again and shooting the soviets,
reinstituting the power OF the
landlords, bankers and capitalists
and preparing for the restoration
of the monarchy.
THE revolution is in peril. A
mortal blow will be struck against
red Petrograd. II you workers,
soldiers and peasants wish to re-
tain power and the power of the
soviets you must fight these
hordes, who now are seeking to
devour you to your last gasp.
1.-THE decisive hour has struck.
Workers and all oppressed men
and women! You must swell the
ranks of the red battalions. To
arms all of you, that the struggle
may only cease with your last
BREATH"

j. 5. BOYS RESERVE
SUPT. o. p. FLOWER APPOINTED
ENROLMENT OFFICER

The United States Boys Working
Reserve was organized by the United
States Department of Labor under the
authority granted by congress. On the
recommendation of the Iowa State
Council of Defense, Mr.. r. X Bliss
was appointed Federal State Director
for Iowa, and he has appointed the
local superintendent of schools as the
enrolling officer of the reserve for
Oskaloosa. ...
This Boys Working Reserve was
formed for the purpose of helping to
win the war by establishing reserve
for farm and other work from which
may be drawn workers ordinarily not
available, between the ages ur 10 and
70 inclusive, to meet the shortage OF
labor in the present crisis.
Any boy who was sixteen years. of
age his last birthday and is less than
twenty-one may enroll in the reserve
providing he obtains in writing consent
of his parent or guardian and, if en-
ployed, consent of his employer for the
badge. After completing a certain
term of the boys intended vacation.
The boy must be free from conmuni-
cable disease and possess no inherent
weakness that units him for the rig
ors of farm labor or other work in
tended. ~a@.
Boys enrolling in this reserve will
receive an enrolment certificate and
beadge. After completing a certain
amount of service and taking certain
obligations they will receive the Off
cial badge of the reserve on which is
inscribed Boys Working Reserve
u. S. A." and which bears the national
seal. Samples of the enrolment certi-
tlcate. recruit button and official badge
are on display at the high school. w.
The Governor of Iowa by special
proclamation has proclaimed the week
beginning February %, and extending
to March 2, as a state enrolment week
of the United States Boys Working
Reserve.
Boys desiring information concern
ing this reserve or wishing to register
with it should call on the local SUI
perintendent of schools in his office in
the High school during this week. 1t
is hoped that large number OF boys
in this community will take advantage
of this opportunity to help win the
war.

Giants of the Sky.

The largest war planes are the bomb
dropping machines. They must be
capable of carrying heavy loads Of
explosives. They are usually slow
machines, speed being sacrificed to
carrying capacity. The Italians have
specialized in big bomb machines.
The huge Caproni airplanes carry
three men and three guns. besides
2750 pounds of explosives. That
makes useful load of 1900 pounds.
The machine is driven by three en-
gines with total of 800 horsepower.

here that almost resulted in mob's
travelling overland to the Amana colo
MES marked the patriotic" mass
meeting that had been called for the
purpose of giving the drafted men
from this county a send-off on their
way to Camp Dodge,
A warning was sent to Amana, a
neighboring cooperative community,
that the children and women of the
neighborhood had better be removed
until the mob got through with the
men" Cooler spirits prevailed up
on the crowd to abandon their pur-
pose, and within two hours the excite
ment had subsidized
A petition was sent to President
Wilson protesting against the eXemp-
ton of the Amanaites on the grounds
OF religious scruples against carrying
arms. The classification of the young
men Of the Amana community in class
of the draft is said to have caused
the outbreak here yesterday.
Attorney General H. NJ. Havner of
Marengo, who left Sunday night for
Washington, d. c., was assailed by the
speakers as having been instrumental
in securing the exemption of the COM
munity men. Among the prominent
men of this country who were. attack

first time and the floor was crowded
until after midnight.
The Decorations.
One of the things in particular that
caught the eye of the big crowd and
won many complimentary expressions
was the splendid scheme of interior
decorations and finishing of walls and
wood work. 1t is an elaborate piece
of work, artistic and handsome. The
highest class of work was done and
the best of materials used by compe-
tent workmen. The dancers were
enthusiastic over the perfectness of
the big lodge room floor. All of the
interior decorations and finish from
floor to ceiling was done by the John
H. Blakeslee Company and is job of
which they may well be proud.

MUST GET REAL DEMOCRACY
Heney Gives Warning in Chicago Ad-
dress, Declaring Labor Will De-
mand Greater Share.

Chicago, Feb. 27.--"While we fight
for democracy abroad, we must make
very certain that we maintain it at
home" said Francis j. Heney, counsel
for the federal trade commission, in
a luncheon speech before the Iroquois
club
Labor is going to demand a far
greater proportion of the return Of
its efforts than it has in the past" he
continued. Special privilege is a
hard thing to get away from, but I'M
less we make a start soon we shall
have. some of the trouble here that
they are having in Russia.
In time of war we must watch for
the pro profiteer-and stop him. The
great inequality of wealth that exists
in this country today can practically
all be traced to what was done in the
civil war in giving grants to railroads
1t constitutes the basis for practical
ly every monopoly in material things
today"
Mr. Heney favored woman suffrage
and the selective draft law, and
strongly advocated some measure for
the CONSUMPTION of wealth. He also
recommended the direct primary in
presidential elections. To win the
war appeared to the speaker as the
most pressing problem of the moment
Lets all get behind President
Wilson," said Mr.. Heney in conclud
ing. LET us help win the war fol
democracy, for the world and for real
democracy in the United States"

New-York tribune., 1918-08-04

However divergent opinions may
be as TO the probable course of stock
prices, there is one phase of the
market outlook on which a majority
of observers agree; that is, that the
volume of trading will probably re-
main exceedingly small for a con-
siderable period. Yesterday the
total turnover was only $500
res, the lowest point to which
transactions have fallen this year.
Only $500 shares of railroad stocks
changed hands-s fraction of the
turnover in single issue during an
active session. Nothing short Of a
great disaster to the German arms
would be likely to arouse public in
terest in the market on an impor-
tant scale In the near future. That
is evident from the stolidity with
which the market has received the
recent splendid war news, the ex-
cellent report Of the Steel Corpora
ton, radical tax proposals, and
other developments, adverse and
favorable, that ordinarily would
stimulate trading. To certain ex-
tent the dulness Of the hast few
weeks represents merely the season.
al decline in dealings resulting
from the absence Of many large
traders, but basically the trouble is
that none but the professional
spectators show tho slightest in
terest in the market. It Is not to
be expected that the public will pay
much attention to the market as
long as we have to look forward to
such things as heavier taxation.
Outside interest will be attracted
when we begin to see prospects of
reduced taxation--which means
when the end Of the war is in sight
but meanwhile people refuse to
bet on the victory that all are con-
vinced will come in the end. 1t is
Just as well that people have no in
clination to speculate at this time,
for big speculation could not be
carried very far under present con-
ditions without becoming dangerous.
Such movement might easily be
followed by market crisis of seri-
Gus proportions. 1t must be remem-
bered that speculation must now be
conducted on call money, and very
limited supply Of that, and any
great expansion Of market activity
would almost surely be followed by
severe money squeeze.
