The same sharp challenge to battle
is sounding for us. We must answer
in the same proud way-the way of
our fighting men-the American way.
Ne must lend the gay they fght.
We must show the war-maddened
Hun a united American people NOV

irresistibly, to Victory.
Our task is to supply the money,
the ships, the guns, the shells that we
must have to win. It is tremendous
task. We must do it as our fighting
men do theirs-with the indomitable
spirit of Victory.
We must work, and save, and lend

AND WIN.

BOOKS FOR

At the invitation Of the Public LII.
brary Board representatives of the
different churches met Tuesday night
to arrange a canvass for books to be
sent to the soldiers. This is part OF
a nationwide plan to be carried out
the week beginning March IS. At an
expense Of more than a million dol
lars, libraries have been established
in all the training camps. How great
is the use made Of these and how great
the demand for continuous supply NAV
be seen in the stories that come from
the camps. Two million books are
wanted March 10. Part of these will

THE X. OF c. WAR FUND

In the big drive that was made by
the knights of Columbus in raising
their fund to carry on work at the
camps and back of the trenches. the
membership in Bookings, assisted BIZ
friends who are not members. did
full share to bring the great sum
collected up and beyond the expected
amount. $275.00 was subscribed in
this city alone and when you take into
consideration the small number CT
knights here, it is a wonderfully large
sum to be raised. They are entitled
to the warmest congratulations for
the work done along these patriotic
lines, and for keeping the name of
Brookings well up in lead of doing
things that are needed.

A A MESSAGE

New York Times: The Presidents
proclamation putting our foreign com
merce under war trade board licenses
IN order that tonnage may be released
Tor the transport of soldiers and their
supplies is the most effective peace
message that we could SEND forth for
German reading. 1t is worth months
of debating on war aims and peace
terms with Teutonic chancellors and
foreign ministers. No ANALYSIS is re-
CURED. no painstaking search for hid
den meanings, no conjecture about
doors possibly left open for peace over
lures. The step taken is a proclama-
ton to all the world that the nation
is faithful to its pledge to devote all
its to the winning of the
war. This is the shortest road to
peace.
We should not set strict bounds to
our immense foreign commerce., we
should not voluntarily limit the vol
ume of trade that yields us such an i'm
mense favorable balance, were we not
in dead earnest. All our foreign com
merce, exports and imports alike, will
from today be carried on subject to
the license of the war trade board.
1t is not an embargo, restrictions will
De imposed only when essential to
the accomplishment of definite and
necessary objects" These measures
ARE forced upon us by a critical ton
mage situation and the necessity of
availing ourselves of every possible
of maintaining our armies in
France" The limitation Of exports
is further necessary to conserve the
products Of our soil and industry "for
the use of our W people and the peo-
plies Of the nations associated with us
in the war"
These restrictions we put upon our
selves, the sacrifices we make, are
means to an end, the supreme end Of
victory. This power will be exer-
cised," says the war trade board,
with the single purpose of winning
the war" 1t is one of the most seri-
GUS and far reaching measures we
have taken to make Germany feel the
weight of our military power. When
we give ourselves up to the discussion
of war aims and the conditions of
peace the German military power be-
comes incredulous, it doubts whether
we intend to make war in earnest. The
proclamations issued by President Will
son. perhaps more than any other step
we have taken, will tend to convince
Germany, that having entered the war.
we are going to fight.

VISCOUNT ISHII

New York World: The appointment
of Viscount Ishii as Japanese ambass-
ador to the United States is something
more than an expression of good will
on the part of a co-belligerent. 1t is a
direct and very powerful bid for a bet
ter understanding in regard to many
questions antedating this war which
at any time may become troublesome.
Rarely has a representative of one
civilization appealed more forcibly to
another than did Viscount Ishii on his
special mission to this country last
tinguished presences, but always with
knowledge and tactful good will. He
was a messenger of peace. Full Of
respect, his message was unfailingly
apreciative of ourselves, and no word
ever fell from him that did not appeal
to friendship Or show why there was
no reason for anything but friendship
between his country and our own.
There are mischief makers in plenty
in Japan and in the United States, and
both have fallen under the malign in
fluence of Berlin. The Viscount made
that plain when, speaking in New York
last September, he said there was n
common characteristic in both PEG
ples-to be too confiding and at the
same time too suspicious and sensitive.
Both have confided in the German in
triguer or his d~emagogue agents. Each
has feared or doubted the other. Such
is the perfect work of treaChery and
prejudice.
Perry did not more truly open Jap
an to western civilization than IShii
has revealed it to democracy and pro-
gress. When he landed in San Fran
cisco last spring he said: your
purpose is our purpose, your road our
road, your goal our goal" We shall
fail miserably in a vital emergency if
we reject such a proffer from such a
source.

HURON RECRUIT A POET

From the Aberdeen News We learn
that j. w. Conrad of Huron, accepted
for enlistment at their local recruiting
station by Lieutenant William Ansh-
elm, and forwarded to jefferson Bar
racks, Mo, is the author of the follow
ing poem, entitled,
O. U. STACKER
Stacker, you sit in your easy chair
Thanking the Lord you're not ''over
there"
Where the mo roar and the brave
men die,
And dying. perhaps, unburied lie;
You may have purchased q bond or
And imagined that hat is enough to
do.
"But some day, after the war is done,
And victory by our brave men won,
You'll see men sneer as they pass you
by,
And you'll wish you had not been
afraid to die;
For what is the life of a coward worth
When he hasn't a friend on the lonely
earth?
But the world may consent some day,
And when it does what will you say
To the grandson sitting upon your
knee?
AS he shows you his book, saying,
Grandpa, see:
Here is where in the great world war
We lost ten thousand men or more
And when he turns and looks at you.
Saying, Tell me grandpa, what did you
do?'
Stacker, you'll sit in that great arm
chair,
Wishing that you had been over
there
And you'd give your life for the right
to say,
l fought for God and the U. S. A"
