life must be given In the service 81 his country. In com-
partson with that sacrifice those which the rest Of us
can make av trivial. Yet, such % they are. we must
make them.
We are called on to endure the severance of family
relations: to be deprived Of comforts to which we are ac-
customed; to be put to a sumber Of inconveniences; to
find 1t harder to make ends meet; to give outright OF
funds which had been carefully laid away for other pur-
poses. Compared with the supreme sacrifice Of life these
are not worthy to be mentioned, yet they are sacrifices.
real, necessary and useful. And we cannpt shrink from
making them any more than the soldier shrinks from go
ing forward at the word Of command.
1t. would be idle for us to subject ourselves to suf-
fering, or even to Inconvenience solely for the reason
that our friends on the battle front are suffering. The
soldier does not wade through the mud IL he can achieve
his object by travelling dry shod. Like a sensible man
in any other activity. he will perform his duties as COM
fortably as he can. And it will not avail the soldier any
thing for the man at home to subject himself to need
less discomfort. The point is that the soldier in the
trenches and the civilian must perform the duty Of the
hour: must perform it promptly, cheerfully and thorough
ly; and must evade no duty because it is unpleasant.

FROM FRIEND s. IN AMERICA

The struggle Of the Irish people for home rule has
been aided by American sentiment generally, and espe-
eially by the sympathy and the financial support Of men
Of Irish extraction in the United States. 1t is interesting
to note that in connection with the controversy now going
on across the water over the Irish CONSUMPTION law. 800
men Of Irish birth or descent met at Chattanooga and
adopted the following resolutions, which were cabled to
the Irish members:
whereas, we American citizens of Irish extraction.
are now involved in a war with the most formidable en-.
envy the world Of civilization has ever known; and.
Whereas. we fully recognize that there is no race
on earth in which God has more deeply implanted a love
for the country Of their forefathers than the Irish in
America; and.
whereas. that love is only exceeded by the love for
our own country, the United States Of America, whose
peace, happiness and prosperity are now mcnuced by the
barbarous forces Of the kaiser: and,
whereas, an element Of our fellow 1rishmen of Ire
land, to whom we so cheerfully have lent our moral and
financial aid in their efforts to secure a recognition OF
their just rights in the form Of home rule for Ireland,
now display an unwillingness to cooperate with us
through enlistment in the ranks of our ally, Great Brit
ain, and an unwillingness to submit to a reasonable draft
law; therefore, be it .,.
Resolved. That we deeply regret and deplore this
attitude on the part of some Of our kinsmen across the
water and sincerely hope that through the wise counsels
Of Ireland's level-headed statesmen and the natural 10y
atty Of the people, they may be led to see the error OF
their way and to lend us their much-needcd aid.
49,. THE people of this country have never faltered in
their allegiance to the cause Of home rule for Ireland
ana we are more than ever convinced that the very prin-
ciple for which we are now engaged in this war entities
Ireland to this right, and if the people of Ireland join
in this great struggle for human rights no power on earth
could prevent Irish home rule. But we can see no rea-
son why any 1rishman should fail to do his moral duty
at this time or engage in any obstruction to the cause
OF the allies, and we condemn as disloyal to the cause OF
human freedom any man or set of men who fails to give
the cause of the allies prompt and unqualified supper
at this time"

Germany may be likened to a great
tree that has fallen across the path
Of democracy. The trunk is being
chopped through by two axes. the
military ak and thep r~opagandist AK.
If the trunk Is to be severed and the
obstruction removed, neither AK must

tribute willingly to help their allies to
support their army n navy, which

Our American president was the

Mr. Wilson has announced :" to the

unselfisllly, and has defined the true
issue for all the peoples Of the earth

the German population which because
of the false system Of education, have
hitherto upheld the hands of the
worst enemies of liberty, the iunkers,
Until quite recently, one Of the most
disquieting symptoms from the point
of view of the allies was a discomfort
with if not an actual opposition to

GARDEN WEATHER

The general weekly weather forecast for the north
west predicts good garden weather for the coming week
in the northwest, with rising temperature in the early
part Of the week, followed by showers. It is to be hoped
that the forecast will prove accurate, for such weather
would be ideal for the needs Of the territory at this time,
and would be another step toward the record breaking
yield in all lines for which the season thus far has laid
the foundation. Good garden weather just now is good
crop weather, and the whole country is interested in the
subject.
In the making Of these weekly forecasts the weather
bureau undertakes to do nothing more than to general
lie. The weather Is affected by so many conditions
which develop Unexpectedly in localities, and which can
not be foreseen in any way at present known to man,
that nobody knows whether or not it will rain in North
Dakota a week hence, for instance. The bureau officials
may have knowledge of a set Of conditions which, if I'M
unchanged, are likely to produce rain in this territory
edge they indicate the probability of rain at that time
But before the time comes for the fulfillment Of the pre-
diction an atmospheric disturbance may develop some
whore thousands Of miles away which will divert the
movement that is. headed this way, and a new set OF
ronditions are created which will produce a different sort
of weather. OF course the professional weather fakil
does not go to the trouble Of investigating. He mere,
sits in his Office and manufactures storm and fair weathe1
sat will. and trusts to luck for the fulallment Of some o
his predictions, and to the sullibility of the people VIII
buy his stuff that they will forget the rest, which, in fact
they usually az.

This camp is our destination. We

first engines and coaches are just
about right for this country, "a few
improvements, | suppose)
The eats are simply fine here. Will
tell you what we had for breakfast:
scrambled eggs. bread and butter, cot
fee with milk and sugar. For dinner
we had: bread steak. mashed pota-
toes. good brown gravy. lettuce and
water, and for supper: vegetable soup.
rice pudding, grapes. coffee. What
do you think of that for army life.
