MORE STEVENS COUNTY
BOYS LEAVE FOR CAMP
Entrain Monday Morning For Camp
Grant, M.-Reception Held
Saturday

! left for training Monday that has
yet been called from Stevens county
at one time. These men went to
Camp Grant, ILL.,, where they will re-
main for few months preparing
themselves for overseas service, af-
ter which they will go to France.
Before leaving, the boys were
treated royalty by the people of Nor
ris and Stevens county and a big
public reception was given in their
honor at the armory Saturday eve
ming to which everybody was invited.
The boys entrained at Morris Mon
day morning and people were on
hand from all parts of the county to
bid them farewell. At ten-thirty in
the morning the line of march was
formed at the court house headed by
the Morris band and the recruits
marched to the depot. In the par
ade were 'tthe boys Of '61" and they
were followed by the Home Guard
Company of Morris. The presence
of the old soldiers helped to inspire
the crowd and no doubt brought
many fond recollections to the minds
of the older people as they remem-
bered the time when they too had
been called to the colors to fight for
the good old stars and stripes.
Every one of the old boys expressed
the wish that they might again go
to the front and do their part in
winning the great world war.
On arriving at the depot the squad
was checked up to see that none
were missing and then all were
given an opportunity of wishing the
boys good luck and saying many
fond good byes. Young ladies re-
presenting the Comfort Club" were
on hand to present each boy with
comfort kit and every man was also
presented with big box containing
lunch, reading matter and other
things to help make their journey
more comfortable. These boxes were
furdashed by the ladies of Morris.
There was a, noticeable difference
in the sentiment at the station at
Mondays leave-taking. The same
tense feeling that marked the de-
parture of the men of other quotas
was present, but in a less marked
degree as everyone realized that thea
boys are going for a righteous cause
and whether they return or not they
have done their duty and those left
at home have almost as big duty

sponsibility to fill. There was more
of an air of cheerfulness manifested
by those who were sending dear
ones, due partly to the fact that
farewells had been said at home and
to the fact that they had been
"steeled" against the moment of de-
parture.
Photographer voss was on hand
to take pictures of the boys and a
group picture will be published in
the Tribune in week or two.
The boys arrived at Camp Grant
on Wednesday and a majority Of
them will live in the good old-fas-
hioned way-in tents. Lack of bar
rack room at the cantonment, where
every barrack is practically filled at
the present time, has compelled the
requisition of hundreds of tents,
which are erected on a slightly
stretch of ground overlooking the
Rock River. In this tent area the
selects, that is the men of Mime
sofa, will be housed until new bar
racks can be provided or until the
seth division gets under way to

THE COLD IN THE HEAD.
It May Be Confused With the More
Serious Influenza.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
called at the home OF q friend of mine
yesterday forenoon and found him In
bed. He said a physician he had consulted
told him he had influenza bad" and
should stay In bed at least two weeks
did not think his case SO desperate
as all that and persuaded him to see my
family physician, who. after a few
questions, said his ailment was only q
common. ordinary cold in the head"
which would pass away in a day or
two. but he would give him something
to hurry It along. He thereupon pre-
scribed a camphorated salve to be in
serted in the nostrils about every two
hours until relieved. My friend phoned
me this evening that he was quite we'll.
Might not the number OF actual cases
OF influenza be much less than is daily
published II all the reported" cases
could be carefully Investigated? Is 1t
not possible that in many instances an
annual attack of hay fever or n transit
tory cold in the head may be dag
nosed as influenza even by fairly COM
petent physicians? l. G. c.

The American People Answer Prince
Macmillan.

1t Is q fact Of the most portentous
significance, a fact that should be
most Illuminating and instructive to
the rulers and the people Of the Ger
man Empire, that the reaction Of
American public opinion in response
to the Imperial Chancellor's note to
the President Of the United States
has taken the form of a universal and
unanimous demand that under no cir
cumstances shall the Government Of
this nation become party to a peace
that may leave the Imperial German
Government in the situation of vic
tor or in a position to repeat fmme-
diately or in the ne"r future It's as
sault on the peaceful peoples of the
world.
The spontaneous unofficial reply to
Prince MAxIMILIAN's message was
complete, unquestonlng rejection of
any scheme that might comfort or
sustain the Imperial German Govern
ment This rejection was based on
the conviction that no proposal from
the present rulers OF. Germany could
be conceived in honesty or put for
ward in sincerity.
Whatever adverse criticism has
been uttered with respect of President
WILSON'S reply to Prince MAxIMn-
IAN's note has arisen from profound
desire that by no trick Of diplomacy
should the public determination to rid
Germany and the world of that ma
tion's present constituencies masters
be misrepresented or modified to our
own people, to the Allies. or to the
men and women of the enemy coun-
tries Wherever fear has been shown

quate to the occasion, that fear has

out victory, but only insistence on the
complete overthrow Of the forces that
plunged the world into war.
From no reputable or responsible
source in public or in private life has
there come q word of regret that the
President proved unreceptive to the
German suggestion. or because his an

contrary, every open or implied mani
festation of dlspleasure responsive to
the form and contents Of the official
correspondence on this subject has
been embedded In On unconquerable
design to prosecute the military cam
paign to triumphant end. The de-
mand for unconditional rejection of
oil proposals Of armistice has re-
corded the popular anxiety lest any
moderation or cessation of attack
should permit the strengthening Of
the German military position. Spe-
officially, there has been and is grave
apprehension that withdrawal of the
German arms from occupied territory
might be accomplished in a manner
that would enable the imperilled Ger
man armies to escape intact from po-
sitions In which, II General FocH Is

ness will inevitably be destroyed.
THE Sun has already pointed out
that nothing in the Presidents reply
to Prince MACMILLAN justlfies the
concern that has been displayed in
few quarters and among few In.
dividuals. That concern arises from
q misunderstanding Of his stroke, a
failure to consider all the circum-
stances debating his words.
II 1t lay in the minds Of German
statesmen to create through Prince
MAxINnIAN's note a situation here
In which pro- ermanism, or pacifsm,
or Teutonic propaganda could find
opportunity to exercise Its foul ac-
tivities to divide the population, the
effect must have been singularly dis
appointing to Its projectors The

vealed the American people united,

and that purpose is the elimination
from world affairs of those who are
responsible for the war.

Here are three examples OF a gram
NAUTICAL error which is becoming very

The Double Failure Of Germany
In Turkey.

The outcome of events in Turkey
may be watched by the civilized
world with entire satisfaction and
confidence. The Ottoman Empire,
betrayed by the Young Turks, de-
ceived by Germany, is paying the
price Of greed and gullibility. Its
destruction has been wrought by cor
ruption within which linked itself to
cynical ambition abroad. It's col
lapse is now a matter of hours or
days. Its past is abh0rrent and It's
future Is a blank.

German supremacy in Turkey can
never be reestabllshed. In the period
of It's thraldom to Teutonic influence

confidence In Germany as a nation
or in Germans as individuals has
been created; not a particle Of what
