Be RIGHT With
GOD, SPALDING
TELLS LEGION
Greatest Privilege of Man
and Nation, Speaker at
Sunday Meeting Says

Labor's Loyal Legion held largely
attended and enthusiastic meeting at
the rooms of the commercial club
yesterday afternoon, when eleven
new members were elected and four
teen admitted to membership. Under
the good Of the order heading some
splendid speeches were made which
were listened to with interest and
heartily applauded. Judge Spalding
was the first member called upon
and made an impressive impromptu
talk on the power of right in the
individual, state, nation and world.
He briefly outlined our form Of gov
eminent and the duty of the people
under it, and that to be right before
God and man is our highest priVi-
lege, one that the American people
would defend to the end, a sentiment
which brought instant approval Of
his hearers.
Miss Alice Duffy gave the woman's
viewpoint on war and her duty to
her country in such times as these
and the spirit Of her address found
ready response from those present.
w. F. Gushing, following out the
suggestion of letter from the direc-
tor of the National Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, spoke of the
purpose of the war savings and thrift
stamps, the assembly having already
gone on record as endorsing this
patriotic movement and promising
its cordial support to it.
J. w. Riley, county superintendent
Of schools, told of the patriotism
shown by the school children; OF the
kind of German kultur displayed by
some of the school districts; and re-
lated the story Of the arrest of one
Of the school directors for disloyal
speech and action. He predicted that
Cass county would make a good
showing in the sale of thrift cards to
the children and hoped for a new era
Of the saving spirit to be born as a
result Of that campaign.
City Commissioner Mills and Smith
Stimmel also spoke briefly, as did
Neil McEuen, +. s. Elliott, S. II.
Carpenter and w. w. Poucher, Mr.
McEuen controverted the argument
Of pacifists, that 1t was against the
will of God that men should fight
for any cause, by quoting the words
Of the Nazarene in this relation, and
characterized any man as a poltroon
who would not defend his family
and his nation against assault. Mr..
Elliott told how conscientious OBJ
tectors' in the army were convinced
by their comrades and the authorities
that the path of patriotism was the
easiest, and Mr.. Carpenter urged
every man to be loyal to himself as
a first requisite to loyalty to his
home and his country. Mr.. POucher
gave a very Illuminating exposition
of the proper way to treat those who
speak words Of disloyalty.
The next meeting of the Legion
will be held Sunday afternoon, Jan.
20, when it is expected a special pro-
gram will be presented that will add
interest to the session.

Socialists Arnunad

Amsterdam. Jan. There was a
more calm feeling in German parlia-
mentary circles Sunday afternoon,
according to The TagebIatt, and the
reichstag majority parties firmly in
tend to support the government. on
the other hand the Socialists held
meetings on Sunday, which
VOrwaerts calls perhaps the most
momentous" since August. 1914. The
Socialist organ says that the Social
ist party will make its attitude de-
pendent on whether the government
returns to the declarations made on
Dec. %.
In the meantime, The Tageblatt
says, the anneXationists are making
every effort to overthrow Foreign
Secretary Won Kuehlmann. certain
serious consequences being threat
ened openly il he stays in office.

Illinois. Peoria is said to have only
one days supply, while many other
towns are reported to be running
short. State Fuel Administrator
Harry A. Wheeler. said today that
there was plenty Of coal in Illinois,
but that everything depended on
whether or not transportation faCili-
ties could be repaired sufficiently to
supply the various towns before
their local yards ran short.
Michigan and Wisconsin points
also reported serious fuel and trans
portation tie-ups as a result OF the
storm. At Grand Rapids, Mich,
eleven inches Of snow is reported
with all railroads tied UP. Milwaukee
and Beloit, Wis. report that the
storm there was the heaviest in
years.
A meeting Of pacifsts, scheduled
in Chicago to discuss terms Of peace,
was called off because only one dele
gate braved the storm.
Officials Of several large milk con-
Germs said it would be impossible to
make deliveries today except on
streets where street car sweepers
have cleared away the snow.

That is a big order of sweets with

to supply them.
Even before General Pershing
recommended that the Red Triangle

concerts ever rendered in our city by
a male quartet. E. d. Hadley, basso,
had a wonderful voice. and his solo
entitled The Bells, was exceptional.

where a Voice is Calling in finished
style, and as an encore sang Am a
Pilgrim in Norwegian.

Clearing Streets.
Approximately 5000 men and 300
hundred teams are at work today
clearing the streets. The snow
drifts became so heavy yesterday
and last night that practically every
surface line in the city. with the eX-

the lake shore the velocity Of the
wind at times increased to nearly
sixty miles an hour and in some
places light automobiles were blown
over or became unmanageable.
Employees Of the Union stock yards
battled through the greater part Of
Sunday getting the livestock ar

cars Of stock arrived yesterday.
Two deaths in Chicago have been
reported so far as the result Of the

resulted from the snow. Approx

The heavy gale and binding snow,
combined with great cakes OF ice,
