THE ROLL CALL.

The Christmas Roll Call for this
year, 1918, is the one great and uni
versal call to the people of the United
States to enroll themselves in the
grandest ministry of service the
world has ever known.
In answer to the call of humanity
voiced by the President, the thinking
people of the nation have been unified
for the advance of liberty and the
rights of man.
The producing power of the nation
has built up solid, serried line of
great corporations, immense factories
and vast industries.
The labor power of the nation has
given quick and loyal array of mil
lions of skilled and unskilled work
ers. Brain and Drawn, capital and la
Dor have Wed with each other in
instant response to the call that
challenged them to the willing task
of winning the war
Not that we love war; not that the
mailed fist and shining armour and
cleaning sword had any place in our
American vocabulary. Our passion
was for Peace, but we found ourselves
forced back into the jungle, face to
face with the law of fang and claw,
where we had to fight or be destroyed,
and because we did not choose to be
destroyed-to see Liberty perish
among men-we chose to fight until
the foul thing that dared to stand
athwart the path of human progress
was beaten and buried forever from
sight.
All this America has done and is
doing, and our army and navy is the
soul of the nation modified for vic
tory.
But there is another side to the ma
TONS life another phase of the ma
tons duty-Justice itself stands
equally for the recognition and
establishment of righteousness. Be
hind the purpose of war that would
combat and destroy, there must be
continual force that will conciliate
and renew. That force springs from
the soul Of the Red Cross. 1t is the
nation modified for service.
The United States entered the war
for the vindication of an ideal. The
Red Cross is founded Oh that ideal.
1t is the greatest mother in the
world, because it is the embodiment
of unselfish mercy, and unselfishness
10 Tic tCoI VI UIOtuSIIlOOu, JUST dS
brotherhood is the test of democracy.
In the days that are to come, when
actual peace has finally been declar-
ed, and the world is struggling with
the work of rebuilding what war has
destroyed, of gathering the scattered,
of bringing succor to the weak, estab-
fishing law and order where chaos
and confusion had reigned, it will be
the spirit of the Red Cross, incarnate
in the world wide ministry of service
that shall guide the feet of the ma
ton along the path of enduring peace.
i
Through carnage, desolation, blood
and mire,
Mid scenes that cry to an ayenging
God,
The Red Cross army moves through
scathing fire
Clothed in white garments, with
quick mercy shod.
Commissioned is that army from
above:
It's standard is a Cross, its watch
word-Love.

WORLD WAR NOTES.

STANDARDIZATION Roethe Of the~Fen-
nimore Times suggests that "Those
old fellows who swore they would
rather go to war than to make out
missionaries, are in luck. They
will now have to do neither
Before young man proposes to a
young woman it might be a good idea
for him to suggest casually some day
that he would like to see her in her
kitchen gown. The returning sol
der boys are going to be particular

National army men indicted into
the limited service class or who after
induction into another class were as
signed to development battalions will

been found that maximum improve
ments have been obtained.

Wisconsin has set great war rec
ord. The state has furnished one
twenty-ninth of the entire United
States fighting force, according to
Adjutant General Holway. A tabula-
ton at the close of the war showed
that this state furnished 130,514 men
for military service. This total grew
from 10000, the size of Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard, when war was declar-
ed. More than $4,000 were furnished
by the draft and the remaining num-
Der were volunteers.
Dinsmore Ely, Chicago aviator, was
killed in France. His last letter to

to say in closing, if anything should
happen to me, let's have no MOURN
ing, in spirit or in dress Like a Lib
erty Bond, it is an investment, not
loss, when a man dies for his coun-
try. 1t is an honor to a family, and
is that the time for weeping? 1
would rather leave my family rich in
pleasant memories of my life than
numbed in sorrow at my death

lily, or when he is needed to resume
employment in an industry or occu-
patton in which there is urgent need
of his services application for dis
charge in each individual case by the
soldier concerned and through his
immediate commanding officer. It is
suggested that aff1davits as to the facts
be procured from employers or other
persons who know the circumstances.
and that these affidavits be mailed to
the individual soldiers, to be attach
ed by them to their applications for
discharge.

no hypocrisy in his makeup, but if

Want Soldier Letters
To Read AT Club

Mothers and fathers of boys in the
service are asked to bring letters from
the soldier and sailor boys to be read
at the meeting of the Soldiers and
Sailors Parents Club to be held We'd
nesday evening, Aug. Z at the Com
mercial club.
Salem was a pioneer in the broaden
ing Of the title and scope Of this or
ganization. The first efforts in this
line aimed to include only the fathers
but when the movement was organized
here. it was thought best to include all
the home folks andsnow it seems prob
able that the idea will develop into a
big and broad association of patriotic
efforts.
The executive committee Of the local
society will present an attractive pro-
gram next Wednesday evening and the
reading of the letters from the boys.will
be included in the evenings exercises.
Frank Davey, president of the Sol
diers and Sailors Parents club, says
that at one time it was thought that
Will G. McRae, the well-known news
paper correspondent could be secured
for Wednesday evening but word was
received that he was engaged the en-
tire week in Washington.

HEAD FOR MANUAL
TRAINING COSTLY
Todd Finds
Teachers Very Scarce
And High Priced

During these strenuous war times
finding a man for the teaching of prac-
tical and mechanical drawing for the
manual training vacancy in the high
school is no easy job, according to
superintendent John w. Todd.
At the last meeting of the school
board of directors, Mr.. Todd submitted
some of his efforts in this line and the
general information he had collected in
his efforts to find the right man. They
are as follows:
rs. J. Race of the Minneapolis
Teachers agency says that manual
training teachers are scarce and that he
cannot recommend any one for less than
$1,000 or $l700.
III, H. Kingsley of the National
Teachers agency at Evanston, ILL.,, says,
'Men of the type you are seeking are
extremely rare. 1t is questionable
whether we can furnish you with the
man you desire. We have calls for
that type offering from $4,000 to
$780,
"The Fisk Teachers agency of Chi
cago says "The demand for manual
