AS fitting observance OF the natal
day of the French nation the village
of Three Lakes on Sunday dedicated
its.service flag containing thirteen
stars and with impressive ceremony
at the Catholic church consecrated
the Stars and Stripes, the Polish ma.
tional flag and the Red Cross emblem.

English and later in Polish, deliver

significance of the day and the efforts
all must make for the great cause.
There followed a parade Of the vari-
Gus organizations of the village which
ended at the M.W.A. hall, where
Al. O'Melia of Rhinelander spoke &C
a patriotic mass meeting. Several
auto loads of Eagle River people
drove down for the occasion. The
Eagle River Band furnished the mu-

PotSdam, Mo.

Such a town name as Potsdam, in
Missouri, is an Indication of the once
amiably regarded habit of Germans
forming community in the United
States, to retain some sentimeGtally
pleasing suggestion of their native
country. The area of the United
States is dotted with towns bearing
names of the same significance.
We had then Indifference or indul-
gence for the naming of town. The
name pleased the people and that
was. sufficient. We have not now
much active feeling in the matter OF
names. Some have unpleasant .sug-
gestioEs, but what interests is the
spirit which may flourish back Of the
name.
Potsdam has appeared in print be-
cause the people appear not to have
recognized, in certain ways, that the
people of the United States are at
war. They have not done SO because
the alienism which found expression
in the name they gave the town con-
tinues to find expression in their
lives, emotions, aud sympathies. IL
has continued to find expression be-
cause the Matchmaking influences of
America did not sufficiently pene-
trate, much less saturate, the COM
munity.
There are many such communities
or groups within communities not
many of them dangerously active, but
passively dissentient. They do not
feel thoroughly Americanized or
canized. There are many fashions III
which the United States needs slim
ulation of Matchmaking influences.
There are varius devices which can
be used. The most comprehensive.
we are certain, is that of universal
military service. CHICAGO TRIBUNE,

Nurse Volunteers Wanted.

The Government is calling for $4,000
young women to join the United
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
denied demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These nur-
ses are being drawn largely from our
hospitals at home. Their places must
be filled by student nurses enrolled
for the full training course of from
two to three years. Every young wo-
man who enrolls in the United States
Student Nurse Reserve is releasing a
nurse for service at the front and
swelling the home army which we
must rely on to act as our second line
of hospital defense. Upon the health
of the American people will depend
|, the spirit of their fighting forces.
F<AGE.-The call is for women between
the ages of nineteen and thirty-ive.
QUALIFICATIONS Intelligent, re-
sponsihles women of. good education
and sound health are wanted-the

tiOn is a valuable asset, and many
hospitals will give credit for it.
Credit will also be given for special
scientific equipment or for prelimina-
ry training in nursing, such as that
given in special courses now being

schools Some schools, on the other
hand, do not even require a full high

5000 Miles From The War.

To judge from the number OF
bright colored wool sweaters seen in
daily use, the government must be
unduly excited in regard any threat
ened wool shortage for military or
domestic use. Still, as it is bringing
CSC per pound right off the sheep and
in the manufactured state and shade
costs about $3.50 per pound, perhaps
the present sweater popularity is
due to the fact that the war is still
5000 miles away from the women and

JUDGE sHELDoNs PLATFORM

In this country today there is for every ndivid-
ual and for every political party but one supreme
duty, and that is TO WIN THE WAR. | believe
that permanent and lasting peace depends upon
COMPLETE VICTORY for the allied armies.
To win the war it is advisable to mobilize the
entire effective man power and the whole indus
trial resources of the country. | favor an amend
ment to the CONSUMPTION act so that it will include
all available men between the ages of twenty-one
and fifty and / believe that the work or fight
regulation should be extended to the limit.
favor immediate action on President Wilson's
recommendation for revision of the Revenue
laws, and believe that there should be absorbed
by taxation for war purposes as large proportion
of excess profits as is taken by our ally Great
Britain
favor the suspension of all non-essental indus
tries during the war in order that our entire ener-
gies may be devoted to war purposes. i refer by
non essential industries particularly to the
liquor traffic and would vote, if elected to Con-
gress to forbid the use of foodstufs for the manu-
facture of intoxicants during the war.
favor giving to women the right to vote by
Federal enactment
believe that a commission should be appointed
at once to formulate and recommend to Congress
an after the war industrial program.
This is no time for partisanship or factionalisn.
If elected to Congress / shall support President
Wilson in the same measure as if he were the
leader Of my own party and will use my utmost
endeavors to retain for Congress the place it was
designed to occupy by the constitution.
Ibeleve in looking forward and not backward
that changing conditions should be anticipated and
met intelligently and that the government should
be kept close to the people
