According to information tclegraphed
to Cedar Rapids police from Camp
Dodge, Private Coolidge is suffering
from amnesia and the military police
OF the camp have made arrangements
to care for him, as the following tele-
gram from Lieut.. =. y. Spencer, IN
command Of the camp police to Chief
OF Police Morrison, 'of Cedar Rapids,
shows. This telegram said:
Soldier on crutches and with blank

best by the military authorities to al

for a short time.
The soldiers father said today tina,

FEW sTRAeeLERs TO CLEAR.
Two Districts in City Yet to Complete
w. s. s. All Of ments


The Thanksgiving day drive for war
savings stamps did little more than
mop up on sales to stragglers. for the
great majority Of sales were made be-
fore. Less than $4,000 OF actual sales
were made at the Marshalltown Club
for credit to the city precincts. but
a great many cards were cleared by
getting reports from those who had
bought before. At least two of the
city districts are over now, and the
other two are almost over.
Sales in the outside precincts are go
ing strong. Marion township, which
was away behind went over with n
surplus Thursday. LeGrand No.
finished the day before. Greencastle
No. also reported over the top. Total
sales for the county are now well over
the county quota, and every precinct
promises to make good before its allot-
ment cards are cleared.
A few have resisted the allotment
committees, and the governments in
structions are to report them to Wash
irSton on yellow cards. but the chances
are that nearly all will come thru be-
fore that is done. They try the patti
eRce Of erworked committees and
add unnecessary annoyance to their
friends and neighbors who are doing
the public's work as volunteers, but
they finally realize how unfair It is for
them to stand out when ninety-nine
out Of a hundred are in, and they will
come thru. Marshall county always
makes good because the many volun-
teers, 1t Is only the few who hang
back.

feint-hearted Americans.

| IelnC-nearIeQ Americans.
| But this was has served to unite the
| two countries, So inseparably that
| never again will they be divided. 1t has
also had the effect of. reminding us of
our debt to France, an obligation bas-
ed on the timely assistance which the
French rendered in the war of the
American Revolution. and debt of
gratitude to the French for having per-
mitted us the Louisiana p,lrchaS
without which our nation could not
have become solidified and attained its
wonderful prosperity and unexampled
greatness.
But it is possible now to speak Of
the debt we owe to England without
arousing old grudges and mistaken no
ticns.
Erom England we received cur Ian
qua go, the inspiration for our liter
atlre, the common law which is the
basis of all of our laws; our form ot
government, minus the kingship which
is now So largely symbolic and orna-
mental; the idea Of making the voice
of the people supreme in the law-mak-
ing bodies; and, above all, the spirit
of civil liberty
Our history books have yet to give
sufficient emphasis to the fact that the
war of the American Revolution was
a civil war fought between Englishmen
as civil wars were fought in the
mother country over the self-same is
sue Of civil liberty. The spirit of
1875 was the spirit of 1859 which en-
acted in the British parliament the
Bill of Rights which was later written
into the constitution of the United
States The spirit of 1875 was the
spirit of 1915 when the barons forced
the singing of Magma Charta by King
John on the banks of Runnymede The
irresistible spirit of 1776 Is the un-
conquerorable spirit of 1918. This
spirit of civil liberty is our greatest
debt to England, for it is the very soul
of our republic and its perpetuation
and its establishment everywhere are
the actuating motives in our fight
against German autocracy. For this
Americans can die beside Englishmen
whose fathers have died for it for cen
turies For this Americans can die be-
side Frenchmen whose own democrat
form of government received its inspir- |
alton and impetus from our
struggle for independence. For this |
Englishment and French and Ameri-
cans, and for that matter, Italians,
too, will stand on guard until death |
against all Head-Hunters, Hottentots,
Baby-Killers, Huns, Vandals, Goths or
Kaiserites whatever, united and dedi-
Gated to the defense of a common and
eternal heritage.
