have just completed visit to the
Belgian front.
Our experience has been most in
spring" says General Wadsworth,
above all we were impressed by tho
good spirit Of generals in armies to
children who are staying on farms and
studying in schools within the SOUNDS
of the German guns. The cheerfulness
OF the soldiers. the determination of
the people to see the struggle thru to
a successful conclusion--these are the
circumstances which strike the Amer
ican visitor forcibly.
I'VE were impressed especially bv
the care the Belgians are lavishng on
the war orphans. In fact the efforts
OF every one, from king and queen
downward, should win admiration from
every one In America"

They agreed that there should be no

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

What strange perversity of mind must per-
wade that man who living in these United States,
with no other future before him. will deliberate
ly make of himself an enemy to it's government
and it's people, And more than that, who will
take advantage of this war to side with the foes
that we are fighting. Not only in such spirit
malignant and devilish in it's character but it
is incOnceivably stupid as we'll. There are sew
eral grades in the manifestation of this hos
tiity. At the head and front stand the I. w. w.,
a pack of wretches that do not deserve the fair
trial that is being given them in the courts.
There is nothing redeemable in their purpose
or the principles they advocate. 1t is simply a
blind and malignant enmity to the American peo-
ple the American law and government. It is
pure and unauthorized treason and they should
meet the fate of traitors.
Next come the Socialists, likewise at enmity
with this people, but Of milder type. Two
secret sympathy with our German enemies for
their leaders are mainly pro-German like Berger,
and desire to build up political party which
shall overthrow American institutions. They
work almost wholly among those of our people
Of foreign birth and descent. Their stronghold
is in the ranks of the labor population who have
no QeIlnlCe lQoa OF WTaC IL is TO DE an American
citizen. Constantly they are at work to promote
discomfort and distrust of American democracy
They should have no place or portion in the make
up Of our citizenry because they ere foreign and
not American in leadership and in final objects
of their existence.
Lastly we come to a class Of politicians who
for the sake Of office pander to these dangerous
elements SO far as they dare to. We have mem
bers Of Congress from Wisconsin and one Sena-
tor who belong to this class. Nowhere do they
stand up boldly and plead the cause of our coun-
try. Nowhere do they become teachers and ex-
ponents of patriotism. The government nor the
people cannot look to them anywhere as their
defenders and SO we struggle along with this un-
patriotic mass of undesirable men and women
in the mighty struggle that is upon us.-Jeffer-
son County Union.

SOLDIERS OF FAITH.

If military authorities be right in their unan-
imous opinion that the will to win is the greatest
asset an army can have, then the American SOL
diers in France and the millions to follow
them have an abundance of that spirit which
gains the victory. They verify believe that the
allies, with such help as they can give are to
speedily drive the Germans out of France and
Belgium, and most of them cherish dreams, pos
sbly idle ones, of marching in triumph through
the streets of Berlin. They have never known
defeat, and therefore they do not fear it. Their
belief in victory is not boastfully expressed they
know the wonderful fighting qualities Of the
British and French soldiers, and do not expect
to surpass them, but they also know that their
country believes in them, that they are commits
stoned to accomplish great task, and in their
hearts they are resolved never to return unless
they have done what is expected of them. They
truly are soldiers of faith and the spirit that an
mates them cannot fail to be contagious among
the war-worn and battle-scarred heroes of
France and Britain, inspiring them anew with the
omnipotent will to win.-The Bellman.

YPRES SWANS DEFY THE
INVADERS,

Ypres is not a deserted city. There
is life amid the ruins made by Ger
man guns. Not all the population of
the famous Belgian cathedral town
has fed. The swans are still there.
For three years they have lived in
a shrapnel-swept desolation. Hun
dreds of bets have been laid by the
soldiers on how long they would con
tinue to nest in the Ypres moat. Early
in the war these swans were famous.
Then they became merely objects of
mild curiosity. The rampants above
their home, centuries old, are torn
and SCARED and pitted by shells, but
they remain. And the one little fam
lily of swans lives on, unscared by
shrapnel unfrightened by airbombs.
The old swans are somewhat yellow
now by age, but there are two young
swans, Matched on a day when the
German hombardment was most ter
rible. There is a scrap of shrapnel
half buried and flattened between two
bricks of the moat not three feet
from the nest. This struck at night.
When soldiers saw them in the morn
ing the two old birds and the young
ones were stretching their necks pre-
paratory to their morning dip into the
meats waters, quite as if the night
had been one of untrOubled slumber.

THE BIRTHDAY REVIEW,

Said the Prince, "This is my birthday:
Day for wasp waist, sword and
stars!
Let it be feast and mirth day
Muster my Deaths Head Hussars!"
Southwark to the blue Swiss border,
North to Flemish sand dunes pale,
Ran the Princes birthday order,
Skull and Crossbones, zu Befehl!"
Meanwhile he put on his frock of
Whalebone, tinsel, gilded braids--
Garments that had borne the shock of
Many glittering parades.
Clomb the tallest of the stations
Ready for his martial stunt;
Waiting for his proud battalions,
Playboy of the Western Front.
To the great reviewing stand he
Cantered, and his aides deployed-
Angrily the royal dandy
Gazed about him, much annoyed.
Where are all my menu" he thunder
ed.
did I not give orders strict?"
Uniformed equerries wondered;
Heels Of sub-lieutenants clicked
Then, from trench and field blood
weary,
And from hamlets black with scars,
Came dead voices, thin and eerie,
Spoke the Princes lost Hussars:
81 am here where Verdun held u.s."
In a shattered trench I lie"
Il, where Joffre's legions felled u.s."
Il, and I, and I, and l."
II am where the great guns slew u.s."
AT Bapaume death set me free"
Il, where men in blue went through
They no Drawer men than we."
Il am here where Haig defed U.s."
81, where England stood at bay"
British dead are thick beside us,
We no drawer men than they"
81, on KENNEL, where war squanders
All that honest men desire"
II lie here in muddy Flanders
On a trench's clotted wire"
Come, Commander, what you covet
We have bought you, flesh and soul
This is war; and since you love it,
Join us, fill our muster roll"
On the broad parade ground, waiting
In his coat of braid and stars,
Stood the Crown Prince celebrating,
Last of the Deaths Head Hussars.

THE ISSUE is CLEARLY DRAWN.

This is a Of ideals, democratic ideals, and
moral issues; the issue is simply this-whether
the world is to be dominated, trampled down and
strangled by the Hindenburgs and Ludendorffs,
or whether the principles of justice, equality and
liberty for which Washington and Lincoln drew
the sword will triumph. The answer can be but
one we will rather die than submit to the sys-
tenn of the Prussian corporal and to the megalo-
mania of this modern Caesarism; we love liberty
more than life, and we know that the cause of
Righteousness for which the nation is now in
arms will be and must be victorious. Every cit
izen of German descent who has had the good
fortune of escaping the Moloch of German mill
tarism and the brutal despotism of Prussian po-
lice rule, and who enjoys the protection of this
great and free republic has every reason to be
grateful to his fate, and should daily bless his
country of adoption which so literally and gen.
erously has bestowed on him happiness and op-
pOrtunities to achieve success. Our sympathies,
our loyalty, our allegiance, our lives, and our
heartblood belong to this country only, and it is
our sacred duty to manifest these feelings by
words and actions at every suitable opportunity
and to work for the unity and strength of our
country that the great aim of this struggle, the
triumph of the democratic idea the liberation Of
the world, and the progress Of true civilization,
may be achieved at the earliest possible moment.

MARCHING TO GERMANY

(Tune to Marching Through Georgia.
By DR.. A. J. Woodin.
With biscuits, spuds and beefsteak
We boys are on our way,
The sons of those who wore the blue
and those who wore the gray;
We're out to get the Kaiser and are
eager for the fray,
While we are marching to Germany.
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! the Sammy boys
advance,
Hurrah! Hurrah! we're sailing out
to France;
We're going to get Won Hindenberg
and make the Kaiser dance
While we go marching to Germany.
Together with our allies we are sure
this war to win,
With God and right upon our side
we'll get this man of sin,
And we'll plant Old Glory in the city
of Berlin,
While we go marching to Germany
Chorus.
The Kaiser thought us joking but
we'll show him it's no fun,
For the Yankees and the Johnnies all
know how to use the gun,
And now we're all united we will
surely get the Hun,
While we go marching to Germany.
Chorus.

WE'RE PROUD OF THE BOYS IN FRANCE.

Every individual with a spark of patriotism
in his soul feels a mighty pride and joy after
reading the reports coming from France telling
of the splendid work of the fighters from Yank-
iceland. Their high courage, their enthusiasm
and the cheerfulness with which they tackle the
business of war ought to help lot of lukewarm
people on this side to take on little more ginger
and slough off some of the pessimism that weighs
down their souls.
The Hun that has been inclined to minimize
the fighting ability of the Americans is going
to get terrible jolt. He will find the Yankee
boy is there with his scrapping clothes on. He
will discover, too, little later, after sufficient
army Of them can be modified, that the Ameri-
cans will never be content to settle down to the
trench fighting methods that have been followed
for two and half years. They will climb out
OF the trenches and start directly cross country
IN search of the center and source of this war,
and they will never stop till they reach Berlin
and take the old city apart. Even now the Off
GERS have difficulty in holding the boys back I'M
til the time is ripe for advance. Later it will
not be, "Come on, boys!" from the officers; it
is more likely to be Hold on, fellows, till we
catch upw That's the American way

NO AGE LIMIT TO WORK.

The only objection to General Crowders work
or fight" order likely to receive the sympathetic
consideration of those interested in winning the
war is that it does not go far enough. It applies
to men only between the ages of twenty one and
thirty-one. These must work in some industry
Of Importance or enter active service. AS the
purpose is to prevent idng, to relieve the short
age of labor in essential industries, and to make
the NOSE efficient use of man power, it would be
better if all men physically able to work were re-
CURED to work, under Fl and over 81.
State laws, for the most part passed since the
beginning Of the war, are designed to put loaf
ers to work, but where such laws are non-exist-
ent or non-effective the government should act
No attempt has been made by the states to force
men from non-productive to productive indus
trie. This is peculiarly war problem and best
handled by the federal authorities
Halfway measures, if the government is to
do anything at all, will not meet the situation.
The services of all men of all ages, in proper
health, are needed in productive employment, or
in the army. There is no more reason why a
sport should be permitted to follow his vocation
in wartime than poolroom loafer Of 25. Both
are needed, both have an obligation to discharge,
both should be set at useful work. Many chap
under FL, many fellow over 81, would be bet
tered, and the country aided if they were made
to labor. Iding is an evil at any time,-now it
is little less than treason.-Madison Democrat.
