he died.
Comrades Leap To
Complete His Work.
Comrades, thrilled by the he
roic self-sacrifce, completed the
task of bringing in the officer,
and then secured the body Of
the stricken boy who now rests
peacefully, a fallen hero, some
where in France.
The officer lives
His is an example that has
fired every son of the northwest,
and his act was truly one to be
written in the history Of any
army. His deed is indeed an
heritage to leave behind, for he
died a true soldier. It was not
necessary that he secure this
lieutenant, for wounded men oft
have lain in the battle-scarred
Norman s land, but he saw duty
and carried it to the end. Death
has robbed him of personally re-
ceiving the laudations and the
plaudits of friends and COM
rades, but death gained only a
hollow victory.
Lawrence 0usley lives and
will live In the memory of the
soldiers of the northwest as long
as time is time.
Yes, you a long time since re-
ceived the press dispatches tell
ing of his death, but will it not
be a wonderful feeling that viii
surge through the minds and
beings of his parents on that
Wilton farm when they know
the truth of the way the name
Ousley is honored. Death, mex
orable, gained a victim, but
death is robbed of its sting.

Winona, MINI. April 6.-Many
thousands of Winona's citizens
marched in a. parade three miles long
here last night in commemoration OF
the first anniversary of Americas
entry into the war and the opening
of the third Liberty Loan drive.
Every branch Of city life was repre-
scented, together with floats illustrate
ing the part the farmer is playing in

BANK DEPOSITS REMAIN GOOD.

No one would deny that tle present is bad time for bank deposits. Hard ly anyone with thinking capacity would conclude the banks can hold their own in the face of billions in government loans being floated.
 But they have virtually done just that. In some sections oi the coun- try, despite Liberty bonds. gifts to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C A., Y. w. C. A. and other war funds, deposits have actually increased including savings deposits.
 Of course, in some sections the re- verse has been true. But the point is, these sections arc not numerous. as might have been expected.
 The only explanation is that hoard cd money is coming to!he front. Thousands of people have still been keeping their money at nome. Bur glars are fully aware of this sub strata tendency. and it is one of the reasons why they can remain in business without starving.
 Money that has been hidden in the back yard under a stone, i'll the eel lar the attic, an old trunk, in the feather bed, under the pillow, under the carpet and the good old-fashion- ed sock-this coin has been coaXed into activity to large extent. it is believed. and has done much to aid the banks in keeping an even keel despite the war expenditures.
 Another thing that has helped Is the fact that many thousands of peo- pie have purchased ibpnds on the payment plan allowed by the govern ment and have paid for them out of surplus earnings, thus not disturbing their bank accounts. 1t may be men, toned. in passing that the earning capacity of the American people is | $40, ,0O0, 100000 year, and if every body-rich and poor-bought bonds according to this earning power, or even half of it, the government would get all the money it needs without seriously disturbing, deposits in national or savings banks.

The Interesting Loon.

The loon is one of the most beauti. full ard graceful of the wild water fowl. rivaling the wood duck in the markings of its plumage. On the Northern lakes there is no bird that can dive quicker or swir, faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land, but so active and alert is it in the water that it can dodge bullets. '"rhe loon is q cousin to the beaver" says John Bur. roughs. Tt has the feathers of bird and the fur of an animal, and the heart of both. It is as quick and cunning as it is bod and resolute. When disabled so that it can neither dive nor fly, it Is said to face it's foe. look at him ir the face with its clear, piercing eye, and fight rcsolutely till death. The gunncrs say there is something in the wailing, piteous cry. when dying al, most human in It's agony.

The Campbells are going from the U. s. A. to fill the gaps in Canadian and English ranks, so also are the Cameron men, the McDougalls, the MacDuffs, the Stewards and the other clansmen. No wonder the bagpipes skirl at recruiting drives. The Scots are swarming to the colors.
 In Chicago headquarters of the western division of the British Can adian Recruiting Mission, which leads all divisions in number of re- cruits, nearly every member of the Robert Burns club has enlisted. Credit is given to the l,iltie band of Scotch bagpipers for large number of the recruits, for all hearts are thrilled by the Highland quicksteps they have played in parades and at massmeetings.

SHOULD SILENCE "SMLAkT~
 ALE(,kS."

Secretary of War Bakers state ment before the senate military com mittee on the country's war prepar- ations should silence tae smart Aleck" critics, who speak with little knowledge of the things they would discuss, as we'll as the politicians, attempting to make capital out of the conscientious efforts of men who are actually doing something for the nation.
 The secretary apparently spoke with the utmost frankness, and his state ment. clean and clear out. creates the impression, nay, the conviction, that under MT. Baker the war depart ment is proceeding carefully. meth odically and efficiently toward sue cess in the most momentous under taking any noitnaeevyatr npeettd taking any nation every attempted: the raising, training. equipping. transporting and supplying an army of 1,500,000 in less than two years.
 It was natural that in such gi- gantic enterprise by a peace-lovins. unprepared people mistakes fould be made, but the secretary's statement, which is supported by testimony of fhir-minded men who have investi- gated. shows that the mistakes have been neither as numerous nor as great as carping critics would have the people believe. And We believe MT. Baker when he says that in the mistakes eve have so1gh. the rem- edy," and that every effort is being made to remove them.
 MT Baker shows. too. that some ot the decisions for which the depart ment has been severely criticised were reached upon advice of such military experts as General Pershins and MajorGeneral Wood. Altogeth CT, the war secretary disclosed that the best and most experienced meu were called into conference when plans and policies were under con sideration.
 The result of Secretary Bakers statement, we believe, will be to con vince the American people that the conduct of the war is in safe hands that no others could do better. and that everything possible to safe

Scot as nothing else can do and Pipe Major Kay and his men have led thousands to the recruiting depot. The pipers are enlisted men of the 42d Highlanders. f
 The growing stream of Canadian and English men is due in part to a 2 per cent increase in the separation allowance to $25 month for the families of enlisted men, also to the agreement of the American Red Cross to supplement the aid given td the families by societies allied to the Canadian Patriotic Fund. Canadian and British men have been assured that in the watchful care of soldiers' families the American Red Cross will show no favoritism, but reach all hamlets, towns and cities with it's relief work for their dependents al well as those of the United States.

"Bvoze" First Meant "Drfnk."

The word "booze' came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch. In the form "bous" or "bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely "drink." and tc speak of gentleman as housing" his wine was not lihelous or even deroga-

country that they might use the tun-

Letters Cite Condition of Affairs
Near German Border on Riiuer Rhine

How German agents within the Dor
ders of Switzerland endeavored to
poison the minds of the Swiss people
against America just after war was
declared, is told in letters to John J
Reber, Richmond shoemaker, who
formerly lived in Basel, Switzerland.
Mr.. Reber has several relatives in
Switzerland and has received many
letters from that country within the
last few weeks setting forth the con.
dition Of affairs as they exist near the
German border
According to a cousin of Mr.. Reb-
er's who is now living in Basel, the
Swiss people have long feared an in
vasion by the German hordes. Basel
is located on the banks of the river
Rhine, one half of the city extending
into Germany and the other half in
Switzerland, the river forming the di-
viding line. For this reason Basel is
the center of considerable activity
and much can be learned there rela-
tive to the actual condition OF affairs
in Germany.
Shortly after America declared war
on the kaiser the emperors agents in
Switzerland tried in every way to
