DR.. STEINER TALKS
TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Redpath Lecturer Says America
Is More United Than Any
Other Belligerent

When the impartial historian
of the future writes the true his
tory of the great world war he
will make many changes in what
the peoples of the world today
believe to be it's true history. But
three great fetures of the wal
will remain as we have written
them today. The futures true
history will record that the
United States of America enter.
ed the great conflict only with
high ideals, with no selfish mo-
tives and with no other purpose
than to defend humanity and to
uphold the principles Of free
government; that in the trans
formation of 1OO,0OO,O 900 peace
loving people into a great war
machine the United States ac-
complished a feat unequalled in
the history of the world 9TH

lied its resources for war and
raised so great an army in so

These are some of the things

patriotism to the people of Ken

school auditorium last Thursday
DR.. Steiner spoke on

without doubt his lecture was
The most masterful and stirring
Interpretation of the American
spirit, ever given a Kennewick
The great wonder of this war,
he said, is the spirit of unity dis
played by the people of the
United States. It has surprised
and mystified the countries of
Europe, for America stands to-
lay the most solidly united Of
any Of the countries at war.
There is in America today no
east nor West, no division of
sentiment at Mason's and Dix
on's line, no sect nor section.
America, the worlds great ex-
pertinent in popular government,
mas been put to the test and has
stood the test. That forty-eight
states only loosely bound to-
yether in a national union, that
! great people made up of every

sun could show such a unity of
spirit and action was not thought
possible by the countries of Eu-

Starting from thirteen small
colonies of widely different char

'lotsam and jetsam of the world,

ARTILLERY
NOW In FRANCE
Remained in England but a Few
Days and then Started for
the Front in France

That the Eastern Washington
battalion of the 146th Field Ar
tillery remained but a few days
\ in England and was then sent
on to France was learned here
from a letter written in France
by Maj. Paul III. Weyrauch, says
the Walla Walla> Union. The
battalion sailed from this coun.
try on December "a, landed In
England January 2 and within q
week was again on the move fol
France, according to bits of in.
formation obtained from many
letters from the boys.
Major Weyrauch's last letter
was dated January II and said
the battalion had been travelling
then for several days thru France
whichsindicates that it must be
proceeding up close to the Amer
lean sector of the front.
The letter further stated that
all the men were well and enjoy-
ing the trip, for it was thru a
new and interesting country and
that the comforts of the men
were being well looked after by
the French war department.
Good food, all kinds of first class
equipment are had and comfort
able training quarters are in
readiness at their destination
which will probably not be known
here until after the war.
1t is believed that the battal-
ION will receive its guns upon ar
rival at the training quarters.
and that after a few months
practice with the guns and in
the art of warfare as taught all
Am rican soldiers before use in
actual fighting, Walla Walla boys
Will be taking regular cracks at
Kaiser Bills hordes. It is also
believed here that they will be
armed with the famous French
15s, altho there is no way of tell
ing Just what kind of artillery
Will be given them. They may
be used to man even heavier ar
tlllery, according to the desire of
General Pershing.

TO REGISTER
SKILLED WORKERS
All Skilled Laborers Under 21
Years and Over 81 are Re-
quested to Register

E. w. Trenbath has been ap
pointed assistant director of the
the public service reserve is tc
eastern half Of Benton county.
The objects and purposes OF
the publics ervice reserve is to
register, commencing Monday,
February 18th, 1913 all skilled
mechanics under the age of 21
and over 81 years, so that the
government will have knowledge
of those skilled in some particu-
lar line of work to enable it to
more effectively organize its Ia
Dor resources toward a vigorous
prosecution of the war.
1t is the policy of the govern
ment in making this enrolment
to specialize:
First: All classes of mechan-
les that can be used in the con-
struction of steel and wooden
ships, which class includes men
who are skilled as blacksmiths,
boiler makers, ship carpenters,
dock builders, electrical workers,
mechanics, painters, pipe filters,
plumbers, sheet metal workers,
coppersmiths, ship filters, struc-
tural iron workers.
Second: All other classes of
mechanics.
Third: Expert gas engine and
automobile engineers and driv-,
ers.
Fourth: Experienced lumber
men, both mill and wood men.
Fifth: Persons who are able
and willing to serve in agricul-
tural work.
Sixth: Young men who are
willing and can pass an examin-
alton as aviators.
Seventh: All others who de-
sire to be enrolled in the service.
No patriotic citizen will be re-
fused enrolment, tho the govern
ment does not want the enroll
ment overloaded with useless
material-those that never in
tend to respond if called.
The government desires that
the registrants remain in their
present occupation until called.
The act of registering is entirely
voluntary and does not pledge
the person even if called, the pur-
pose being to determine the num-
Der and kind of labor that is
for war work, if want
ed.
The governments most ur-l
gent need at this time is for men
who are skilled in the occupa-
tions embraced within Class / as
above. Wages will be the high
est going wage in the particular
line of work.
Registration may be made at
Trenbath G. Tweedt's, at The
Produce company's Finley store,
E. T. Cushman, Hover; and VIM.
