Good Recruit Record

Minnesota can answer all
charges Of disloyalty and point
with pride to the record estab-
lished by the Minnesota Recruit.
ing District during the month Of
April. In the thirty day period
HOB men were accepted for SER
vice in various branches of the
army. Previous to last month,
February was the banner month
with record of 909 accepted re-
cruits for the army. The increase
is due, Major j. d. Yost Recruit
ing Officer for the District says,
ito hard, untiring work by Re-
cruiting Committees, to the wide
publicity given the needs and de-
mands of the army by the news
papers of the state, and to the
cooperation of the authorities in
the enlist or Work" campaign.
Major Yost does not propose
however to let the District rest
ON its laurels, and is planning to
make the recruit drive this, month
more strenuous than ever. He
will not be content, according to
his statement, until the Mime.
sofa District establishes itself at
the head of the IS Recruiting Dis
tricts in the country and maintains
that position. The April record
will come close to putting it there.
The goal for May has been set
at 1850 men. This figure will
keep every recruiting officer in
the state working overtime, and
keep the Recruiting Committees
on the jump every minute Of the
time to secure their district
quota.
The enlist sor Work" cam
-paign is just hitting its stride and
is expected to show some real
results this month. The Cover
nor has designated the last two
weeks of the month as loyalty
weeks, for the big Spring Of
fensive Against Kaiseris m. ;"
Several veterans from General
Pershing's forces who recently ar
rived in New York, after almost
a year of service in France will
be liz the state, and will speak at
n u erous loyalty meetings.
Their presence should stir the
fighting blood in every man in the
state. Extending of credits to
high school boys who go into the
service at this time, will bring a
number Of recruits who will come
under the next draft. 1t is ex-
pected Congress will fix the date
for the registration of all men
who have attained the age of 81
years since last June, in a very
short time.

and blots out of mind little things
that once seemed big.
"And in all the din and noisy strug
gle, it's thing of qualification to me
that / am able to be an American
Red Cross man. 1t means much here.
It means to command respect and
good will. If ever any organization
has stood in the breach at critical
times it is the American Red Cross.
1t should be made known to every
man. woman and child of America
for think the organization has done
as much to create unity and cement
allied comradeship as Americas fond
est hopes could expect Composed of
splendid lot of people voluntarily
doing their work, it seems so typically
American. There is nothing the Red
Cross institution fears to attempt and
its ramifications and it's diversified
work are only limited by the thou
sands of things that war demands.
The American people may with per-
feet confidence back it to the very
utmost. And it is very vital to the
conduct of the war. 1t ministers to
the American and the others alike
and being donation of the American
people it illustrates in substantial
way to our noble allies that the Amer
lean has come to stay and fight like
wildcats for the right, and to guaran-
tee with all the resources of the coun-
try that voluntarily and freely we
fight for cause we believe in, If
needs be, will die for. 1t demon
strates beyond argument, that the
American people are heart and soul
and purse in this war until the last
gun is fired. When America con-
tributes without fiinching and with
out expectation of reimbursement
over $100,000,0O0 in cold cash and
then heaps on top of that more In
labor and toll, the Frenchman, the
Italian and the Britisher knows that
we are here and here for deadly
and earnest purpose. It is the last
word as to what the American peo-
pie really and truly believe.
I'VE have had anxious times of
late. The Hun has shown his worst
and it hasn't frightened us at all. He
has committed his atrocities and we
haven't cried with fear, and he can
see his finish as sure as anything
can be sure. We are all breathing

Visitors from Range Towns In
spect Ely Company.

Friday evening Company D OF

SENATOR cRIccS
Writes Interesting Letter From
France. Feels Fine.

The Miner is in receipt of let
ter from Senator Harold Griggs
who is with the Red Cross forces
IN France. Mr.. Griggs writes a
very readable letter considering
the strict censorship maintained
on all mail from there. Among
other things he says:
I'll have to write you just what
write everyone else-that you would
have heard from me before under nor.
NAL circumstances, but as the Huns do
not rest, neither do we. Our hours
of labor are long and our minutes OF
recreation brief and few.
81 am having all the thrills I can
stand-more often chills We who only
work and cannot shoot are unfortu-
nate, for the fever penetrates even
our ranks. The spirit and zest is gen.
eral-we would all wish for a gun.
Unluckily for me, 1 may only be a
helper instead of a hero. But that
is war, and you know the old saying
that they also serve who only, etc.
So must be content and try to be.
Things move so swiftly that each day
has its own importance and it is good
to be even small part of the great
happenings. Everyone works and il
is always the big idea to do things
quicker tomorrow than we did today.
1.-THE morale of our own men is
simply splendid and is an inspiration

the enthusiasm and the eagerness
with which our boys enter into every

with justifiable pride. I never before
had so utter sense of self satisfac-
ton as / feel hers-it is to forget
everything else in the world but the
one great affair of smashing the
Boche and his unspeakable system.
For an American to feel the very
breath of Prussianism is for him to
almost deity those American fore
fathers of whom we have read in our
histories. To be here in this atmos-
phere is to glorify anew our own land
of blessings. 1t gets under ones skin

MeinIng Stands on His Record.

Sheriff John r. Meining is can
didate for reelection, and in max
ing this race he, as on previous
occasions, asks the support of the
voters of St. Louis county, not
simply because his name is Meiu-
ing, but he asks your support on
his record as the sheriff of st.
Louis county. He has held the
keys to St. Louis county's bastile
since 1911. and although he has
been opposed by good men in sue
cessive elections, backed with
strong lists of deputies, he has
been reelected each time by sub
stantial majorities. The voters of
the county know that he apprec-
iates this generous support of the
past, and that he will appreciate
your support again in the primary
of June II, 1918.

JEWISH RIGHTS IN RUMANIA
UNDER THE NEW TREATY.

Replying in the British House of
Commons to question by Mr.. King
as to whether the treaty of peace
recently signed by Rumania guaran-
teed full and equal rights to Jews,
Lord R. Cecil, under-secretary of
state for foreign affairs, said:
eff the honorable member will
read these treaty stipulations with
care, he will observe that the en-
franchisement obtained for the Jews
is of a most limited and conditional
mature, and that the clauses have,
in fact, been framed solely in order
to give Germany an additional pre-
text for interfering in the internal
affairs of Rumania. His Majesty's
Government have the fullest sympa-
thy with the cause of Jewish enfran-
chisement in Rumania and else
where but it is to the fullest pro-
gram of liberation which the Ru-
manian Government had themselves
adopted prior to this treaty and not
to this restricted scheme, that His
Majesty's Government will ad-
here.

Pueblo, Colo.-Alex Mitchell, a
Jewish resident of this city, has in
vented a combination plow and trac-

ize farming. A company known as
