CRESCO HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE H. 1918
Chautauqua.

The Cresco Chautauqua opens next
Tuesday, June 18th. AS in previous
years the Chautauqua has been secur'
ed through the cooperation of the citi-
zens of Cresco and vicinity in signing
guarantee. This year the program has
been prepared with consideration for
the extraordinary conditions which ex-
ist and the purpose is to provide whole
some entertainment end at the same
time maintain the spirit of patriotism
which is so essential in a country at
war. President Wilson has said that
Chautauqua is an ''integral part OF the
national defense" We believe the
management is fully awake to the op-
portunity afforded for patriotic service
and they will give US form of enter
tainment which will measure up to our
expectations.
Season tickets may be purchased in
advance at the regular price of 81.
There is a war tax, however, leyied by
the government, of 10 per cent, amount
ing to zoe on a 81 ticket. This will be
collected the first time the ticket is
presented and stamp attached so no
further attention will be necessary dur
ing the balance of the week.
The Chautauqua will be held on the
school house grounds and in order to
insure quiet the street to the north of
the grounds will be roped off and clos
ed to traffic during the programs. II it
is found necessary the west street will
be closed also. Watchmen will be en-
ployed to look after the cars and their
contents. OF course no guarantees can
be given but every precaution will be
taken to make secure the property of
Chautauqua patrons.
A committee of the Commercial club
is making the necessary preliminary ar
rangements and that is sufficient
guarantee that the welfare of patrons
will be properly looked after. The
Commercial club believes Chautauqua
brings entertainment and education to
this community in form that is
wholesome and worth while and is con.
fident that the liberal patronage ac-
corded it in previous years will be ex-
tended to it this year.

Stirring Speech Brings 15,- eco Cheering to Feet at
 Baltimore.
SAYS RUSS ACTION
 ANSWER TO PEACE
We Garnet Mistake Meaning of Action With Conquered peOples-Nust Make World Fit to
 Live In.

Baltimore, April 6.-President Will son. at great Liberty Loan celebra- tian here tonight, gave Americas ans Wer to the German drive on the west cru front, to the renewed propaganda for a German made peace, to all pro- posals to end the war before Germany is awakened from her dream of world domination. His answer was:
 "Fcrce, force to the utmost; force without stint or limit; the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and east every selfish dominion down in the dust.' The presidents acceptance of Ger manys challenge that the issue be settled by force brought 15.ooo people cherring to their feet The cheering lasted several minutes.
 After reviewin0 briefly that Germ- any seeks peace that would give her world dominion, the president declar- ed:
 "I accept the challenge and I know that you accept it. All the world shall know that you accept. It shall appear with the utter sacrifice and self for 2GCl u1IIESS WIJll WHlCA WC olidll S1VC ali tthat we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. This now is the meaning of what we do. Let everything that we say, everything that we hencefCrth plan and accomplish, ring true to this re- sponse, until the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thoughts and utter defiance at the force of those who flout and despise what we honor and hold dear
 Germany has once more said that force and force alone shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether as right ion as she conceives it, shall deter mine the destinies of mankind There is therefore, but one response"
 Warning anew that a triumph for Germany means ruin fer all the ideals America has won and lives for, the president reiterated he was willing to discuss at any time fair and just peace, sincerely proposed. peace in which the strong and weak shall fare alike"
 "But the answer" said he, (Which 1 proposed such peace came from the German commanders in Russia, and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. They are enjoying in Rus sia a cheap triumph in which no brave Or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act, lies for the time being at their mercy. Their fair professions are for gotten. They nowhere set up justice, but everywhere impose their power and exploit what they hold for their own use and aggrandizement, and the peoples of the conquered countries are invited to be free under their own do minion. Are we not justified in be- lieving that they would do the same thing at their western front if they were not face to face with armies whom their countless divisions can not overcome?"

 CAMP APRIL 26
New Gall Is Three Times Number Originally Fix
 pected.

Washington, April 6.-Approx- imately 150,000 men will be sent to training camps during the five days beginning April 26, under orders sent to state governors today by Provost Marshal General Crowder for mcbili- zation of the April call of the second draft. This is three times the number it was originally planned to call, and is nearly twice the monthly quota as based on the calling of 800,000 over a period of nine months.
 Failure of congress to pass the amendment to the selective service act, which would permit fixation of state quotas on the number in class one. necessitated temporary adherence to the old system.
 Local boards have been officially advised, however, that they are to ig- nore "quctas" for the time being, and to simply continue calling up men un- til they have obtained the number they have been instructed to forward. When basis for establishing state quotas has been found, new credit against increments will be given for those already called. The assessment of states include Arkansas 2,735.

Associated Press War Summary
 The Germans ale continuing their plunsine tactics in the Amiens battle area with operations rapidly develop
 ing into a greatly masnified Verdun. The similarity with the classic eX- ample of a German attemp; to beat down and enemy by sheer force is daily growing. This development obtrues itself, not only because of the narrowing of the area envolyed and the practice hurlilg great mas ses at the defenders of narrow front, regardless of sacrifices, but by reason of the newly developed tend ency to alternate attacks with rest periods for one sector while the oth- CT is in action. Thus Saturday the main attack was delivered on the al
 lied center, after the blow launched south of the Somme Thursday, and that driven in to the north Of the river Friday, had spent themselves.
 Saturdays big plunge appears to have had it's starting point just south of the Somme where he Brit ish right Hanks is near the junction point with the French. apparently aiming at the AltertAmien railway, near C0r5e. ten miles east of Arliens. The enemy threw heavy masses tow ards the opposing line from Vairie wood, east Corbie. The battle here seems likely to develop into one Of ins9 ortance. as affecting tenhre of what remains to the entente of the wadge shaped piece of ground la the angle formed by the Somme and the Ancre.
 The Germans did not renew attacks against the French south of the Somme Friday nioht, after they had been held to small gains, achieved at terrible costs, and had been forced backward in places in the f;2h1ing of the preceding 90 hours.
 That attacks against the British in the region of Albert on Friday, however, were kept Up well into the evening but gave the enemy little ad ditional advantage.
 The weather on the battle front was reported improving Saturday, but aviators were still handicapped by lew visibility. The anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the war was made the occasion abroad of celabrative functions in London, Paris and Rome, and the sending of numer- ous messages to the United States by allied leaders, A notable utterance was made by Premier Lloyd George, in which he predicted that during the next few weeks" the United States would "give the Prussian military junta the surprise of their lives"
