add to them our vows of loyal and
enthusiastic cooperation with our
dressed alike to the enemy, the cobel-
igerent and the neutral nations shall
have been irrevocably written into
the international laws of the world.
1t is my earnest request that as
soon as possible in every parish of
this diocese, a meeting be called, the
purpose of which will be to ratify
in some solemn way the declaration
of Americas principles as uttered by
our president and to have this act of
ratification recorded in some fitting
manner, to be sent to me and by me
to be forwarded to our representa-
tives in Washington to be presented
to his excellency, the president OF the
United States.
Pastors will please read this let
ter at the high mass next Sunday.
Very sincerely your in Christ, Joseph
F. Busch Bishop of st. Cloud.
In obedience to the request made
by Bishop Busch the following resol-
ution was unanimously passed by the
of Morris.
Resolution: The members of the
Assumption church at Morris, Min
nesota, in public meeting assembled,
do hereby declare their undying 10y
atty to the Constitution of the I'm
tied States of North America and to
the Federal Government of our coun
try.
Moreover, they hereby, Individual
1y and collectively, pledge them
selves, to the best of their ability,
to the support of the recent solemn
declaration of the noble ideals and
war aims of our Country, as express
ed by our President before both
houses of Congress.
The lofty spirit Of justice and
charity expressed by the President
harmonic with the peace message
of our Holy Father to the nations at
war, and calls forth our spontaneous
assent and places the aims OF our
Country on the lofty eminence of
just and honorable international
peace.

Save String and Paper

Here is suggestion which might
profitably be adopted throughout the
state:
Il received a package yesterday
that was eight inches in circumfer-
ence, weighed less than hall pound.
and it had twenty feet of Irvine
wrapped around it.
Il went into a grocery store and
bought package of rolled oats. The
clerk used one yard of paper fifteen
inches wide and twelve feet of Irvine
to wrap it up, Notwithstanding that
the manufacturer had put the rolled
oats in paper box carton, sealed j.
air tight and then had covered the
package with a clean, attractive la
bel. That's going on in a million
stores.
cit takes more time for the CLERK
to wrap the package than it does to
sell it. The Irvine and paper are
worth as much as his time. Let
everybody carry the clean, small
packages that are already in paste
board and tin packages without re-
wrapping and save labor, time and
paper"
This suggestion comes from the
Public Safety Commission. "Many
mickles make a muckle," runs
Scotch proverb, and it is thus pointed
out one of the mickles to be saved.

WE'RE GOING TO WAR
By Sgt. kellogg Bascom, 352 Inf,
Camp Dodge.
We're going to war when the sum-
er's done;
Big Olaf and Sam Mckee,
And HE Sing Wong and Sam Co.
hen,
And Ed. Dubois and me.
From forge and bank and carpent-
er shop,
From desk or behind the plow,
We've some been buns and some
been gents
But we're all blood brothers now.
We're fellers of quite a good many
breeds
An our looks don't match at all,
But now it's men our Uncle needs,
And we're answering his call.
So give us a long and lingering
kiss,
Or at least loving glance,
There's some of us you're goin' to
miss
When we come back from France
We amt afightin' for glory or
fun
Nor for any hate we feel,
But for lasting peace when the war
is done
And for love of the old square deal
For clean, broad land of prairie,
and homes,
Where the test of a man is his
worth,
Where women and little children
are safe
For the freest land on earth.
So we're goin' to war when the
summer is done,
Big Olaf and Sam Mckee,
And HE Sing Wong and Sam Co
hen,
And Ed. Dubois and me.

'CH|NA IS SOFT SPOT
FOR WAR PRISONERS

PEKING, Dec. 5. = About 200
war prisoners from Siberia r en-
joying life in the enemy intern
ment camp near the summer palace
here. So pleased are they with
their environment that some of
them have written letters to their
friends inviting them to come to
China.
At first these sojourners claimed
that they were Italians eager to
return to Italy, but when an at
tempt was made to ship them on
an Italian transport for Italy they
refused to go and asserted they
were Austrians. The Chinese au-
thorities have examined them and
all have claimed to be soldiers,
thus preventing the Chinese from
setting them free and compelling
them to work for a living.

TOB ACCO RELEASED
WHEN BULGARS QUIT

SALONIKI, Dec. 5. - The open
ing up of Bulgaria to the allies has
caused the release of $6,000,000
worth of American-owned tobacco
to the towns of Sores, Drama and
Kavalla on the Greek coast of the
Aegean sea bordering Turkey, oc-
cupied by the Bulgars until their
surrender. The transportation of
this supply may materially affect
the shortage in h~igh-grade to-
bacco.
Since the beginning of the war
huge new acreages in Greek Mace
donna have become the principal to-
bacco source of Europe. The
Greek crop has increased rs per
cent during the war. The labor
comes mainly from skilled Turkish
growers who escaped from Smyrna
and European Turkey to produce
tobacco in Greece for the entente
armies.

made to reopen many properties
closed by wartime conditions and
which have excellent opportunities
for finding ore. The discovery in
the Spearhead, generally regarded
as one of the most important in the
history of Goldfield, has stimulat-
ed mining in other parts of the
district and particularly given re-
newed assurance to the manage
ments of companies operating at
depth in the same general forma-
ton in which the find was made in
the Spearhead.
The prediction of mining men
that work at depth would make a
new Goldfield seem about to be
realized and the finding of the ore
body in the shale contact zone in
the Spearhead opens important pos
sibilities for further work at depth
in other properties.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. s.
Regardless of whether railroads
finally go back to private manage
ment or remain in the hands of
the government, radical changes
should be made in their methods
and theories of operation to pro-
vide a partial merger under some
sort of government regulation, the
interstate commerce comission says
in its annual report made public
today.
The commission believes the
time is not ripe to recomend con-
crete proposals for legislation re-
lating to the future policy toward
railroads, but says whatever by the
nations decision, there should be
provision for complete unification Of
the railways in war time, partial
merger in ordinary times, limita-
ton of railway construction to
public necessity and systematic en-

inland waterways, and their CO.
ordination with rail carriers.
In other words, the commission
is opposed to restoration of the old
conditions of individual competi-
ton, in which pooling of traffic
was forbidden by law, and to the
building of new lines without proof
to the government that they are
economically necessary.
If it Is finally decided to restore
railroads to private management,
says the commission, there should
be legislation to permit their CO.

line of trade associations-that is,
all manufacturers producing a GER
tain article or series of articles are
banding together, somewhat along
the lines followed by the Germans
in pushing goods to all corners of
the earth before the war. Some
experts believe that this system is
wrong and that the combinations
should be effected along the de-
partment store idea-that is, that
each combination should include
one or two manufacturers of each
article and that the association
should be able to furnish every
thing from a pin to a locomotive.
They argue this system would
save much expense in maintaining
statesmen and branch agencies and
that just as strong organizations
can be effected as under the other
plan.
Advocates of the one-~line-of-bus-
mess idea contend, however, that
their system, which sends out high
ly specialized statesmen to sell one
article only and which alloeates all
orders among the manufacturers
embraced in the association, makes
the stronger combination to meet
foreign competition only.
Officials who have studied the
problem think the danger of an
outgrowth of these export associa-
tions similar to the great m~etalges-
selschaft of Germany which con-
trolled metals and metal products in

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS AFTER WORLD TRADE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. s.
American manufacturers are rap
idly forming export associations
which plan to carry the products
of the United States to every ma
ton on earth, to create and enlarge
demands for goods made in Amer
ica'' and to furnish cargoes for
the American merchant marine to
transport over the seven seas. The
trade invasion of other countries
will begin in earnest when Europe
has been supplied with food and
reconstruction materials and the
world gets back to a normal peace
basis.
To avoid collision with provisions
of the Sherman antitrust act and
the Clayton law, the new associa-
lions are filing statements of their
purposes with the federal trade
commission, taking advantage of
the Webb bill permitting such COM
binations solely for the purpose of
export trade. This act enables
Americans to combine their
strength to compete successfully
with similar combinations in 9TH
er countries. UP to the present,
SO statements have been filed, en-
bracing combinations of machinery
and tool makers. paper makers,
lumber manufacturers and general
exporters.

tions have been effected along the

NEW YORK, Dec. 4. - The an
nouncement that Jim Rice, former
rowing coach of Columbia univer-
sity, is considering the acceptance
of a similar position with a Pacific
coast college opens a field of inter
esting possibilities. Rice is n OF
the best rowing instructors in the
country, his closest rivals in the
past having been Courtney of Cor
nell and Jim Wray, Sr., of SYRIA
cuse. both of whom have retired
from the coaching within the past
few seasons.
Because he is considered a peer
among the coaches at the present
time, Rice's services are being Gag
erly sought by no less than five
colleges or universities, all OF
which are preparing to re-enter
rowing upon a larger scale within
the next two years. Of these three
are eastern institutions with
worthy rowing traditions and rec
ords at their backs and if it is a
question of salary alone they will
meet willingly any figures which
may be offered by Pacific coast
universities.
There is a field for greater activ-
ity in rowing among the eastern
colleges than would be the case
should Rice decide to accept an Of
fer from the far coast. Rowing
authorities look for a remarkable
revival of the sport within the next
few years with a decided change in
the system of racing. Dual and

On the other hand, if the policy

alternatives of future policy which
may be set forth by different inter-
ests in the near future. These al
ternatives are:
