IAN ONLY A VOLUNTEER

s&Ne.
Why didn't wait to be drafted,
And march up to Aver with band
Why didn't wait for CONSUMPTION,
Oh, why did l hold up my hand?
Never farewell banquet,
Never a farewell tear;
I'm shut out of luck on the glory,
am only volunteer.
Why didn't / wait for the steam heated
barracks,
And dance hall outside my door
With all my friends every Sunday,
Bringing candy and good things
galore.
Not for me my name in the papers,
Not for me the fame of peer.
Who is there that cares If live or
die?
l am only a volunteer.
Why didn't l wait to be drafted,
And have all the folks at the train?
To kiss me and call me hero,
And next week be home again.
When / left the old town depot,
Only mail sack was there;
No maiden to weep on my shoulder,
I was only volunteer.
Some day, when / am old and bald
headed
With wrinkles all over my map,
Little children will gather about me,
And ask what did in the scrap.
My voice will shake when / tell them
With tone they can hardly hear;
I'll weep when I say / did nothing.

IS
WORST EVIL
In GERMANY
People Place State as Idol
Above Laws of Man
and God.

London. Jan. 1.-THE fundamen-
tai evil of Germany today is idolatry, ,
said Lord Robert Cecil in a. statement
Flor the Associated Press today. They
have set up for themselves a craven
image, just as truly as did the +wor-
shippers of Baal against whom the
prophets of the Bible preached.
"Germany's idol is the state. They
place n state above religion. above
morality, above all laws of God or
man. They believe that any act is
justified which advances the interests
OF the German state, however base
that act may be. however immoral,
however inconsiderate of the lawful
rights Of others.
lotto Kahn, himself a German by
origin, has defined this state-idolatry
as the demoniacal obsession Of pow
er-worship and world-dofninion:'' +-<
2 E"This idolatry is at the bottom of
our whole fight against Germany. It
Is the secret of the whole revolving
list Of ontrages and atrocities which
civilized world. The violation of Bel
GUM, the Armenian atrocities. the
~unspeakable horrors of submarine
warfare-all these are the outcome
of a creed which holds that no laws
of morality r binding when the de.
tense of the state-idol is at stake.
1.-THE results of his violating of the
foundations Of morality by Germany
are bound to be colossal and far
reaching. They naean the degeneraey
Tof the whole German structVre,'and
the effects are already seen in the
wave of crime and immortality which
is sweeping over Germany. So long
as the governing classes are infected
with this doctrine there is no limit
to the ~wickedness and cruelty which
will be put into execution. 1t means
the. undermining ultimately of the
whole fabric Of their civilization.
This is what President Wilson has
foreseen. This is a aso for the de-
the leaders Of the allies onsboth sides
of the water to carry this i, war
Through, whatever the cost, in order
that the world nay be a fit world
to; live in. 5ap. - !.
: 1.-The Lansdowne letter has been
thought by some to indicate some
weakening of determination OF the
part of this country. ON change of
attitude. l believe any such impress
sion is a profound delusion. I know
it is a delusion as far as the actual
and l believe that the British people
as a whole, including Lord Lans-
downe himself, are more determined
than ever tcabring the war to- a VIC
torious conclusion.
II see that it is being alleged with
q certain degree of p~lausibility that
There are many points in which Lord
Lansdowne is in agreement with Pres
ident Wilson's message. That may
he so. Blu in the case of the presi-
dents message there breathes through
every line not only a determination
to win-for in that there is no differ
ence between the two nen-but also
a, certainty of victory. President Will
sons message has an inspiratiot of
Leadership which Lansdowne's} letter

$3.50, 900 TO
BE ASKED
STATE LEGISLATURE TO BE
ASKED FOR BETTER FIRE
PROTECTION.

Pointing to the recent fire in the
Moose Lake district as evidence of
the necessity of charging the state
forest service, annual appropria-
tions of $33O,OOO for the next two
years will be asked from the legisla-
ture by the state forestry board.
The budget of that total was
adopted at the annual board meeting.
1t was compared with the request to
the 1917 legislature for $3.50, 900 a
year for forestry work, which was cut
to $4,000 in the appropriations bill
Ninety per cent of the money will be
used in field work, it was said.
The budget provides for an increase
of the present force of II rangers
and patrolmen employed only seven
or eight months of the year to 70 on
an all-year basis and 1876 during the
seven months busy season, also three
men for railroad fire protective work
and one man for prairie planting and
woodlot management.
The plan is to increase the number
of ranger districts from 13 to 35 OF
40 and supply each man with rang.
err and five more patrolmen.
M. M. Williams of Little Falls anG
w. D. Douglas of st. Paul were re-

WILL MEAN MUCH
FOR OUR. SECTION.
SEPARATION OF IRON ORES BY
MAGNETIC PROCESS is
PROVEN A SUCCESS.

The East Mesaba Syndicate, which
has been conducting experiments in
Duluth for the past two years in the
treatment of low grade iron ores,
has demonstrated to the complete
satisfaction of all parties in interest
that the process is success, and that
the same may be applied to COM
mercial quantities Of ore, says Skill
ling's Review.
The process designs the elimination
of waste from lean iron ores. For ex-
ample, a cargo of 80 per cent iron ore
from the syndicate's lands on the
East Mesaba range was raised to
62.23 metallic iron, and the phos-
phorus was reduced to the vanishing
point, at .008. Six thousand tons of
this low grade ore was treated this
season, and the product sold to an
Eastern furnace company. 1t is not
known just what the syndicate re-
ceived for this ore, but inquiry de-
velops that similar grades demand
from 80 to 33 cents per unit in
Philadelphia.
1t is now fully expected that the
Syndicate will erect near Duluth a
concentrating plant of size to treat
low grade iron ore commercially.
The Syndicate owns a very large ton
mage of lean ores on the Mesaba
range from which to derive it's own
ores for treatment in its own plant.
The process is a modification and out
growth of usual methods of magnet
ic separation, and has beer. worked
out under the supervision and man
agement of w. G. Swart, a well
known mining and metallurgical en-
gineer. The idea of commercially
adapting magnetic separation to
Minnesota ores was brought to the
attention of Messrs. Hayden, Stone
& Co. of New York and D. c. Jack
ling by Dwight E. Woodbridge, long
mining engineer of Duluth, and
they considered it practical to un-
dertake the experiments which have
resulted favorably. The large ex-
perimental plant established at Du-
luth has been under charge of Mr.
Swart.
The treatment of low grade iron
ores is becoming very common in
Minnesota. There are number OF
washing plants on the Mesaba and
Guyana ranges, and others projected

ORE SHIPMENTS.

The iroh ore shipments of the
Lake Superior district for the past
year are estimated at approximately
63,000,00O tons. Figures have been
compiled of the shipments of the
docks at Duluth, Superior, Two Har-
bors and Ashland showing that these
docks sent total of 50,924,710 tons.
The estimated shipments from Es-
canada and Marquette are in excess
of 100000 tons. During the
month of November there were
shipped from the docks first named,
3,356,34S tons. During the season
the Duluth & Iron Range shipped
from Two Harbors total of $685.

waiting word from the Humane
Agent of the county to proceed with
the matter. The robbers were boys
who admitted the crime upon being

WHY NOT
GET ROADS?
MINNESOTA NEEDS GOOD HIGH.
WAYS-NOW is THE
TIME.

A bill has just been introduced in
the upper house by Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the senate comittee
on military affairs, empowering the
secretary of war to take over a COM
prehensive group of roads throughout
the United States for construction
and maintenance as a system Of
national highways 1t provides an
appropriation of 100000, 900 to de-
fray the expenses of such an under
taking. The bill has been read
twice and referred to Senator Cham
berlain's committee. There is no
doubt but what this bill will go
through with almost unanimous en-
dorsement and it marks the first real
step taken by the government to-
wards recognizing the growing ne
cessity of hard surface highways.
Illinois voters, at referendum
election held November 5, approved
by majority of nearly 100000, a
$60,000,000 good roads bond issue
which will finance the building of a
1000 mile system of paved roads for
that state. On the same day the
voters of Pennsylvania approved a
good roads bond issue of $50, 900, 900
which will put the Keystone state in
the foremost ranks of good roads
states. 1t is now up to Minnesota to
fall into line, says the Chisholm
Tribune Herald. There is no state
as badly in need of good highways
as is Minnesota and it is something
SO important that immediate action
must be had if we are going to get
anywhere. Minnesota can float an
issue of bonds as large as that float
ed in Illinois and there is no doubt
but what the people will almost un-
animously endorse such move.
The bonds could be retired through
a tax to be imposed on automo-
biles. Then that would not end the
good roads problem either. st. Louis
county must start construction of
hard surfaced roads. We want an
eighteen foot concrete road from
the Range to Duluth and we want
a concrete road over the entire
length of the Mesaba range, within
the county and continuing as a
main artery up on the Vermilion
range. There is no excuse in the
world why the county should not
get busy on this matter of road con-

TAX LEVY INCREASED.

The county tax rate was boosted
considerably when the board of
county commissioners met recently
and made the levy for 1919. An
increased levy was made necessary
on account of the reconstruction
work necessary in the burned area
and the highway and other i'm
provements contemplated for the
next season. The total levy for 1919
will be $2,462,317, as compared
with $1,995,430 for the current
year. Roads and bridges will re-
ceive large share of the new levy
for which the sum of $1,274,00O
was appropriated, exclusive of state
aid.

BUILDED WELL.

Some of the people of the ranges
are wondering whether the Greek
at Hibbing who has prescribed gar
lie as remedy for the flu was paid
agent of the wholesalers in this odor-
ferrous article. When garlic was
first touted as a remedy the stuff
was selling in the local stores at &c
cents per pound. Today it is
quoted at 90 cents per pound and
wholesale at from rs cents per pound
upwards. The Greek has builded
well and should now be comfortably
situated insofar as finances are con-
cerned. Z
