The New Appeal, in announcing
this special Mission, the news Of
which for some reason has never
reached the press associations and
newspapers Of the country generally,
declares that Mr.. Kopelin will, during
his absence in Europe, act as special
correspondent for the Appeal, in the
columns Of which his articles will ap-
pear exclusively. Readers Of the Ap-
peal are requested in the columns Of
the Socialist organ to get busy and
send in subscriptions on a special
blank, in order that the paper "may
be given better opportunity to func-
ton for Socialist and international de-
mocracy.'
Other members of the Socialist mis-
sion are A. M. Simons, of Milwaukee,

bered as the Iowa college professor
who abandoned his wife and children
afew years ago to marry a rich young
woman who had agreed to endow his
activities. He is now assuming con-
siderable prominence as an American
spokesman abroad, possibly a volun-
teer spokesman, but a spokesman
nevertheless.

FOURTH OF JULY WAS
PROPERLY CELEBRATED

July Forth was a beautiful day, al
though a little windy, and the rain
over this territory made everybody
feel good, and therefore all got out to
enjoy themselves at some place. At
the Chautauqua grounds there was
good program, and an enormous crowd
while at Starkweather there was a big
Red Cross celebration, and big crowd
is reported from there. At Peterson's
grove, southwest of the city there was
"a picnic, and a good attendance and q
good time. At Wood Lake there was
big celebration, and several from
this section went there to spend the
day. While the celebration was not
like the old fashioned Fourth, this
year they were in the nature Of pa
triotic celebration, we believe that all
had just as good or better time than
in past years.

MRS. anna REDMOND
AIDS RED CROSS

The furnishing Of the 1000 Chau-
tauqua programs which were printed
and distributed this season was due in
measure to Mrs. w. j. Redmond,
who volunteered her services in solic-
iting the advertising and copy, and
aid in getting out the booklet, and
Monday of this week Mrs. Redmond
turned into the local Red Cross fund
$10O as the result Of her effort. Mrs.
Redmond did this work without one
cent of compensation, and thereby is
receiving compliments from her many
friends for her efforts in replenishing
the Red Cross fund to that extent
She is certainly deserving of much
credit.

A troop of Boy Scouts came up from
Crary yesterday and are encamped at
Chautauqua. It had been planned to
have large encampment here during
the session, but no response was re-
ceived from the various troops in the
vicinity to the secretary'a: invitation,
so it is probable that but few will be
here. This is to be regretted as tents
and all the necessary accommodations
for week in the open are to be had
at the military reservation, and va
cation spent in this msnner would
have been of immense benefit to the
youngsters.

PROCESSION RIVAL
OF PIED P|PER'S

Evfan-les-Bains.-F hundred lit
tie children, trifle tired-looking, per-
haps little hysterical because worn
by the strain of three days on the train,
tramped joyously up the street, their
wooden sabots pattering a triumphant
tattoo on the hard pavement, skipping,
some of them, to the blare of the
trumpeters who led the way, and cry
ing "Vive Ia France" at every welcon!-
ing tri-color. They rushed up by doz.
ems to shake hands with anyone who
was on the street to see them at five
o'clock in the morning.
Each of them was dressed in his or
her Sunday best, and toting home
made pack. All the time the six old
ex-Poilus footed away on their trun'
pets as they led the bobbetty process
sion. 1t reminded one of the Pied Pi-
per who piped strange tunes in Hame-
lin and led away all the village chill
dren when their elders refused to pay
him for Kidding the town of"its rats.
These trumpeters were leading Bel
gian children to warm meal at
Evian. Five hundred children, who
had left their mothers and fathers in
the land where food is scarce, were
on their way to big refuge in the old
Chartreuse monastery at LIE Chandler.
There the Belgian government and the
American Red Cross have fitted up a
home for q thousand refugees.
Not Enough to Eat.
They were not orphans chill

eat. Back in Belgium Belgian COM

nourished and asked their mothers to
let them go to France, where wheat
and sugar are not too plenty, but
where the ratiOns are more liberal.
The commission for relief in Belgium
brought something to them in Bel
/ gium, but, especially since the Ameri-
cans left, it had to be stretched long
way.
"Aren't you hungry?" some one
asked one of the Belgian children.
"Why, no." the ten-year-old replied
II ate yesterday"
The trumpeters piloted them to the
Casino, where the. women Of Evian
had laid out breakfast. Six or. seven
children, too weak to stand the miles
walk, were carried in the big Ameri
can Red Cross ambulances that trans
port the old men and women week
days, when the trains bring In the
French repatriates.
There was big celebration in the
Casino. The mayor Of Evian made
speech, but most of the children were
obviously much too tired to try te

much more. interested in the band
The band played "The Savoyard." the
anthem of EVANS mountain province
and then it played the "Brabanconne,'
the national hymn Of Belgium.
Those children stood up on the tables
to applaud and wave their handker

conditions that lead up to this war,
showing how the Kaiser had planned
