Adjusting ourselves to European
war conditions is one of the diff
culties which the government finds
necessary to solve as actual hostilities
in which United States troops partici-
pate take place. Our ideas of public
ity of military matters differ material
ly from those of Europe. Our people
feel that the soldiers who are in the
war are part of themselves and they
want to know all about them, especially
if they are killed or wounded. The Eu-
ropean idea is TO keep such facts from
the public to a great extent and the
assumption is that in time of war the
military arm should be absolutely I'M
hampered and that anything in the
way of information TO the general pub
lie is unnecessary.
No doubt our military authorities are
anxious to comply with the desires of
the allies as far as possible, but it will
not be easy to convince our people that
information regarding the death or
wounding of soldiers is going to give
any information of military value TO
the enemy. OF course, quite a num-
Der of our military leaders are inclined
to support the ideas of the foreign mil
itary men, for it is one of the tradi-
lions of the service that information
to the public is unnecessary and mere
ly caters to curiosity Of the people
and might lead to some disaster be.
cause the information might be valu-
able to the enemy.
All these things must be adjusted
and it is probable that the American
people, anxious for the success of our
troops in the field, will accommodate
themselves to the regulations which
military authorities believe necessary.

levied for the support of the public
schools. BY reason Of the large and
constantly increasing number OF
pupils the expense of maintaining the
schools and erecting school houses in
Escambia county has considerably ex-
cecded The amount of money realized
by the rate of seven mills and from
the other sources provided by law.
In consequence of this the school au-
thorities have the double burden OF
maintaining the schools and carrying
very large Indebtedness with a very
inadequate fund. The proposed
amendment will authorize the levy of
ten mills. This increase Of funds will
aid very materially in properly main
tanning and caring for the schools and
in carrying the indebtedness.
If any argument were needed to
show the necessity for the education
of our youth the present great worlo
war with all the present great world
war with all the multitudinous les
sons flowing from it has more than
supplied the need. More and better
schools, full equipment, better train
ing and full pay for teachers and the
exaltation of the calling of teaching,
all for the better and more thorough
education of the youth, will be key
notes in educational movements in the
near future. Let us get in line now
and give the proposed amendment an
overwhelming vote. Joe Piera, John

QUALITY CLOTHES

Clothes arehigh and these are
times to make money go as far as
possible.
What a man do who wants
durable clothes?
We answer, buy on character.
First, the character of your
dealer, and then the character
of your raiment.
There never was so much poor
stuff made up as is now in the
market, but a few of us are
sticking to our guns on the side
of quality.
Even in our stock, there are
soft, rich fabrics an economical
man ought not to buy-fnest
quality, but not durable enough.
But the stuff that will earn it's
cost and more is also here, and
we are here to tell you.

A new draft of about 10000 men has
been Called to the colors. The pro-
vost marshal general has ordered
that "men actively, completely, and
assiduouSly engaged in the planting
Or cultiyating OF a crop but who are
listed in Glass l and within the new
quota should be deferred until the
end of the new quota"
The local draft boards, being jul
dicial bodies, cannot defer the call of
such men, however unless the farm
ers employing them comply with the
law and support their claims for de-
ferred calling with affidavits. 1t is
therefore Of vital Importance that
farmers employing necessary men
within the new quota Immediately
execute and file such affidavits with
the local boards.
If farmers whose hands are affect
ed by this new call fail to follow this
advice, they will have no cause for
complaint if their men are taken

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
CAUSED BY MATCHES
Home of Mrs. A. M. Kendall Was Scene: Doors
OF Cabinet Blown Open and Dishes Hurled
Across the Floor

Beware of the matches! This warning
is given by Mrs. A. M Kendall of Rapi-
dan, who underwent a mysterious and
exciting experience at her home in Rapi-
dan last night when she started to lighl
a lamp. Mrs. Kendall had purchased
matches recently and her son, L. A. Nc
Donald, had remarked On opening the
box that the matches were rather pecu-
liar in appearance. They were placed in
the box with the fire ends aitern atng
first toward one end of the box and then
to the other end. The matches were
also stuck together and had to be pulled
apart when one was taken from the box.
Mrs. Kendall thought that perhaps the
matches had gotten wet in some way,
as those she used were very unsatisfac-
tory. Last evening she reached into
the match box in the cabinet to get a
match with which to light the lamp. AS
she pulled the match loose from the
others in. the box there was a terrific
explosion. The doors of the cabinet were
blown open and a couple of dishes were
hurled out across the floor by the force

Big RALLY AT AMB0Y
Frederick 0sten. Sacken and w.
D. Willard Were Speakers
OF Evening

Frcgs Fridays DsfiF.
Frederick Osten- Sacken and w. d.
Willard, county chairman, were at
Amboy last night where Mr.. Osten-
Sacken addressed a crowded house,
and had a most enthusiastic meet
ing. on the Third Liberty loan
Mr.. OSten Sacken was born in
Germany Of the nobility his father
having an estate Of thousands of
acres upon which he had a thousand
peasant worhmen. He was educated
in the German schools and graduated
from the university; was q student of
social and political questions and as
a young man refused to have any part
in the oppression of the working peo-
pie, and, as ne said, "came to Ameri-
ca, started in to work with his hands
and became a man" His first work
was eight months on pier No. 1, at
Hobolten. Mr.. Osten- Sacken, being
Of the nobility knows just exactly
their attitude toward the common
people of Germany, and being a stu
dent Of political and social affairs is
a competent observer of conditions.
In 1913, after about thirty years in
America, he went back to Germany
and was there until Just before the
outbreak OF the war. He shows yer.
clearly that the common people of
Germany have no voice in the gov
eminent; have been trained NOT to
think but to obey what is told them
from above that their position is pit
liable; and he appeals to men of this
country CT German birth and ances-
try to help to free their brethren in
the old country. He speaks from
first-hand knowledge of the ambitions
OF Kaiser Billy" as he calls him, and
The nobility of Germany. He says
that they have no more consideration
for the common people than for cat
tie. and simply use them as so much
cannon fodder. America is in this
war for self protection, for the kais-
er has said 81, too, have dreamed of
world dominion, and by my mailed
hist will bring it to pass" We are in
this war. because every ideal of
America is hated by kaiserdom, and
would be crushed out if Germany
were victorious.
Mr.. Osten- Sacken, through the use
OF German colloquialisms, makes his
point exceedingly clear to those I'M
derstanding German, and clearly had
with him the sympathy of the men
OF German lineage who were in the
audience. He speaks tonight at Yer
non Center, and on Saturday night
at the Mankato Township town hall.

OF the powerful explosive contained in
the match box, which b!azed fierceiy and
would probably have set fire to the place
had not Mrs. Kendall, with rare pres
ence of mind, smothered the flames with
cloths.
BURNED FINGER, AVERTED FIRE.
AS it was she burned one of her fingers,
but averted bad fire. If a child had
pulled the match from the box, causing
the explosion the results would no doubl
have been very grave. Grocers are not
blamed for having such matches, as these
prepared matches are the handWork Of
German spies in match factories.
Not long ago The Free Press reported
the vicit of a government agent to this
section, who had discovered some of these
dangerous matches, and had collected all
he could find. The matches are laid In
the boxes alternately, heads and tails,
with generally one high explosive m atcn
in the box, and if such box of matches
is thrown through a window into room
the concusson will cause an explosion
and possibly the loss of the place by fire.
