THOUSANDS ATTEND
PATRIOTIC MEETING
DUBON COUNTY Toys LAST
THURSDAY.

4 Last Thursday was one of the big
gest days that Audubon has seen in
many years. Thousands of people
from all parts of the county were in
the city to attend the patriotic gath
sering held in honor of the SO young
men who were to leave the following
morning for Camp Dodge, where
they were indicted into the army
service.
The weather was ideal, and
shortly afternoon large crowd
had gathered. The young men an
swered to roll call at the court
house at 100 o'clock. AS their names
were read each one of them respond
ed. The street was thronged with
people while this important part of
the program was going on.
The program began at the band
stand at 3 O'Clock. DR.. A. L. Brooks
was chosen as chairman of the day
and he acquitted himself with honor
We have no better or more loyal
men in the county than DR.. Brooks,
dnd 1t was indeed fitting that he
could act in that capacity at this
meeting. While the crowd was gath
Sring. the Audubon Band rendered a
number Of patriotic selections and
Hrs. George Scott sang a solo, ac-
companied by the band
Hon. H. j. Mantz in his character
istic manner introduced the speaker
Of the day. Hon. N. e. Kendall OF
Abba, known as Iowa's most gifted
orator.
Mr.. Kendall was Speaker of the
House a number of years ago when
he represented Monroe county in the
legislature. Later he was congress-
/, nan from the Sixth Iowa District
Zen years ago this fall the writer
and Mr.. Kendall did considerable
campaigning in Keokuk county when
che former was a candidate for the
legislature in that county and Mr..
Kendall was candidate for con-
gress. Since then his health failed
him and he was compelled to retire
from politics and return to his home
In Abba. where he has large law
practice.
Mr.. Kendall is fluent and force
ful speaker. He is well informed
and makes pleasing address on
most any occasion. However, he is
1t his best in making a patriotic ad-
dress an thursday was no excep-
ton. is above all one of the
most -dtriotic men in the state of
Iowa. He knows why he is a l oval
American citizen and because of his
enthusiasm he has little difficulty in
importing it to his auditors.
The address was a masterful one.
The audience stood spellbound for al
most two hours. During that time
he presented facts and arguments
that cannot be disputed. The infor-
nation he has Is a Solutely correct
and with polish n, other speaker
can command. Mr.. Kendall phrased
il in never-to-be forgotten language.
The address had a force and punch
that found it's way in the hearts Of
all.
On account of speaking date at
villisca on Friday. Mr.. Kendall was
compelled to make his stay in Audi
hon short. and in the evening he was

taken by auto to Atlantic, where a
committee from Villisca met him.
The people of the county are CRATE
full to Mr.. Kendall for making the
splendid address at this time and
we hope to be able to have him with
us again at sometime in the future.
At six O'Clock the SO boys were
given a banquet at the Methodist
church where the Sono Orchestra
furnished music while the splendid
supper was being served. The ladies
OF the Danish Lutheran church fur
nished the lunches for the boys
which they took with them on their
trip to Les Moines Friday morn
ing.
At four O'Clock Friday morning
people began to gather to pay their
last visit to the boys. The people
of the city were awakened by the
blowing OF whistles at five o'clock
and by six o'clock thousands had
gathered in front of the court house
to escort the boys to the Rock Island
depot A few minutes before train
time the procession was formed. The
band was in the lead, then came the
Ciyil War veterans, the SO young
men and hundreds of citizens. The
w. r. c. ladies and members of the
Red Cross marched beside the SOL
der boys carrying flags and Red
Cross emblems. 1t was an impressive
scene.
AS the train pulled out of the sta
ton flags, banners, hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved until the train
was out OF sight. A good lusty cheer
was given just as the train started.
1t was demonstration the depart
ing boys will never forget, and all of
home folks are back of them to a
man.

$500 SOLDIERS ON
BOARD TROOP SHIP
SUBMARINE STRIKES SHIP CAR
RYING AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TO ENGLAND, ALL SAVED,

AN INLAND REST CAMP I'M
ENGLAND, Tuesday, Sept 10-The
majority Of the 2,80O American SOL
dlers from the troop ship which was
torpedoed last Friday Off the English
coast, but was not sunk and upon
which there were no casualties, have
arrived here none the worse for their
thrilling experience
The men are finding some conso-
iation for the loss OF their vessel i'm
the assurance that the submarine
that attacked her suffered a far
worse fate at the hands of the
avenging destroyers which were
speedily on the scene hunting the u
boats with depth charges.
LONDON. Tuesday, Sept. 1O.-A
troop ship with 2,S0O American SOL
diers on board has been torpedoed.
All hands were saved. The troop ship
was beached.
In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats, the men clam
bered down ropes to destroyers
which swarmed around the stricken
vessel and came close alongside.
This operation was greatly facili-
tated by the fact that the sea was
not rough.
The troop ship was a member of
large convoy approaching the Eng
fish coast. The vessel was torpedoed
zoo miles from shore at O'Clock on
Friday afternoon.
The transfer of the American SOL
diers from the stricken vessel to
escorting British and American tor
pedo boat destroyers was quickly
made without injury to any one.
They all escaped injury when the
torpedo exploded and they were soon
on their way to a British port.
There was no sign of panic on
board and the admirable behavior of
the men was especially gratifying to
the officers.
Many of the troops came from Chi
cago and Cleveland and a large per-
centage of them were factory hands
of foreign extraction. Their be-
havior proved that they had assim-
Hated the true spirit of the Ameri-
can soldier.
Several soldiers told the Associate
ed Press that they saw the German
submarine lifted clear out of the
| water after one of the depth bombs
exploded aud then entirely disap-
pear. r4t
Something had gone wrong with
the troop ships engines. which COM
PEELED her for time to lag behind
the rest of the convoy. but the
trouble had been fixed up and she
was fast catching up with the other
transports when torpedo hit her
just forward of the engine room.
The vessel at once began to sink
by the bow. Many of the soldiers at
the time were taking baths. They
did not wait to dress, but made for
the deck with what little clothing
they could hastily lay their hands on.
The water was rushing in at such q
rate that it was thought the steamer
would quickly founder.
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers the troop ship did not sink.
Some means apparently were found
to check the thrush of water and she
got near enough to the shore to be
beached. 1t is hoped that the vessel
ultimately can be saved.

LOAN WORKERS OF IOWA
HOLD FARLEY AT DIES MONIES

Iowa will go Over the Top" for
he Fourth Liberty Loan in three
days.
This was the unanimous opinion
of nearly 500 members of the Iowa
Liberty Loan organization who held
rousing get-together meeting at
Des Moines Tuesday, Sept. 3. All
the chairmen of the district and
county organizations were present,
and all ratified the view that it was
only necessary for them to know
the amount their districts would have
to subscribe to make the drive in
Iowa an instantaneous success.
The meeting was addressed by
Charles II. Schweppe, director Of
campaign for the. Seventh Federal
Reserve District, of Chicago; j. b.
McDougal, governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago; w. l..
Harding, governor of Iowa; Lafay-
cite Young, Jr., OF Des Moines; G.
H. McNider, Federal Reserve direc-
tor OF sales for Iowa; Mrs. Wilbur
w. Marsh, Iowa state chairman; Mrs.
National Committee, and Miss Grace
Dixon OF Chicago, Federal Reserve
director for women in the Seventh
District.
About rs per cent Of the county
chairmen announced they would
adopt the plan that was so efficaci-
Gus in obtaining quick results dur
ing the last loan. This plan is to
have all the prospective subscribers
in each district report on the open
ing day Of the drive prepared to sub
scribe to the amount of bonds. which
is their individual share of the quota
for the district. Prior to Sept. 2Sth
each prospective buyer will be noti
fled OF the amount he is expected to
subscribe, and he is expected to reg
lister at the polling place of the
school district with his or her check
book ready.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The war news continues cheering.
The French and British and Amer1-
can forces on the west front continue
to push the enemy hard. A large
number OF towns have been captured
along with a number Of prisoners and
large stores OF munitions. The allied
armies are now within but few
miles of the old Hiudenburg line and
at the north end have broken thru to
a depth of fully q mile and in length
to fully three miles Some hard
fighting is In progress. But undoubt-
eddy the whole OF the Hindenburg

OFFER HOLDS GOOD
A FEW DAYS MORE
READERS OF THE REPUBLICAN
CAN GET PAPER AT OLD RATE
UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT.

The Republican management is
highly gratified over the manner in
which the subscribers are renewing
their subscription. Ten days ago
we announced that the price OF the
paper would raise from 800 per
year to $3.50 per year on September
18th. The first week about 200 re-
sponded and the past week there
have been many more. We would
like to see all of them take advantage
of the splendid offer.
Owing to the increase in the price
OF all kinds OF material and labor,
we were compelled to make the raise
in subscription. The government will
compel every newspaper to stop when
IL is three months overdue. The or
der is mandatory and must be COM
piled with by every publisher.
We cannot make penny publish
ing a newspaper like The Republican
at $1.00 year. We want to give
our readers fair chance, however,
and will permit them to renew their
subscription at the 800 rate and
pay as far ahead as they desire.
Look at the label on your paper
VI "ioPPSi anu IL thC odtC 10 <tPi
16, that means you are owing from
April 1, 1916. You are permitted
to pay up all arrearages and in ad-
vance at the old rate. II your label
reads Jan. 10. that means you are
paid up until January 1. 1919. and
by paying now your subscription will
be extended at the rate of 800 per
year. 1t simply means a saving of
SO cents year.
There are no better newspapers
published in Iowa, or anywhere else.
than The Republican. 1t is worth
more money than we are asking for
it. New subscribers can also get the
paper at 800 per year il paid for
before Saturday night.
We do not want to lose a single
subscriber We have more than
doubled our list since we have been
in Audubon. We have more than
doubled the investment in the office
in the same length of time, and had
it not been for the hearty co-opera-
ton OF the people of Audubon coun-
ty, we would never have been able to
do that. We want every reader to
feel that We appreciate his support
and our desire is to serve them in
the future as we have In the past.
Don't put off renewing your sub
scription until tomorrow. DO it to-
day and then you know it will be
done. More than fifty renewed yes
terday and today we hope to have
fully as many. Stay with The Re-
publican, it is the peoples friend.
1t is for the people of Audubon
county. first, last and all the time.
And we cannot succeed unless We
have the united support of the people
OF the county.

we're in Villisca sunday visiting rela
tives. They report crop conditions
very bad in that section. Many a
farmer who has a large field of corn
will not get enough this year per acre
to replace the seed. The pastures
are also as barren as barn yard,
but the small grain crop seems to
have been an average crop.
