Come, President Wilson Tells
Farmers.

Washington, Feb. An a mes

cred at an agricultural conference
at Urbana, ILL.,, President Wilson
said he thought statesmen on both
sides of the water realized that the
eliminating crisis of the war had
come and this years achievements

The message. which the President
intended to present personally until
attacked by cold several days ago.
was delivered by President James,
oil the University of Illinois. Re
counting the aggressions of Ger
many, the President said:
I'VE are fighting, therefore. as
truly for the liberty and self-govern-
ment of the United States as if the
war of our own revolution had to be
fought over again; and every man in
every business in the United States
must know by this time that his
whole future fortune lies in the
balance.
Our national life and our whole
future development will pass under
the sinister influences of foreign
control if we do not win. We must
win, therefore. and we shall win.
need not ask you to pledge your
lives and fotunes with those of the
rest of the nation to the accomplish
ment of this great end
You will realize, as think
statesmen on both sides of the wa
ter realize, that the eliminating
crisis of the struggle has come and
that the achievements of this wear
on one side or the other must de-
termine this issue"
The President recalled that farm
ers fired the first shots at Lexing-
ton that set afiame the American
revolution for liberty, and express
ed the hope and belief that Ameri-

conspicuously stand by to win this

want themselves exempted from
military service as a class, but that
the attention of the war department
was centered upon the task OF inter
fering with farm labor as little as
possible, and he believed that in the
next draft the farmers would lind
their labor much less seriously
drawn upon than in the first.

latest discoveries for combating sub

All parts of the ships except the
engines are to be fabricated in De-
troit and the parts shipped to sea-
board, where they will be assem-
bled. Changes in the Ford plant to
permit the handling of the work
have progressed so swiftly. Mr.. DAN
iels said, that deliveries on the con-
tracts during the coming summer
are assured.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers

HAPSBURG RADIANCE
 |S 0NE BRIGHT SPOT

VIENNA. Tuesday, Dec. 24.-"The only bright spot in the tragedy of Aus tria" was the release of the country from the Hapsburg autocracy, which could never be restored, declared Karl Seitz, leader of the German socialists in Austria and president of the national assembly of German Austria. in an in- terview today.
 The fate of German Austria was es- pecially tragic. he said, because she has been accused wrongfully of kind ling the war. History would prove. he declared, that German Austrians had no expansive aspirations against the Slavs, and always had opposed the action which started the war No coun- try in the world, he asserted, had suf- fered such brutality and persecution at the hands of the military class as had German Austria.
 A federation of nations comprising Austria Hungary. perhaps, would be desirable in the interest of capitalists, he continued, but such thing would be impossible for a long time, not only because the Czecho- -Slovaks now were. fighting against the Germans. but owing to insuperable difficulties of arranging common customs. taxation, finance and traffic systems, to say nothing of the difficulty of language. German Austria, however. he added, could not exist alone because of her geographical position and because the arteries of traffic united her with South Germany, and thence with all of Germany, upon which Austria, owing to her needs of coal and capital, de- pended for her restoration
 The German Austrian republic which had not yet been recognized by the entente as an independent state, Seitz declared, was faced with the greatest difficulties concerning food supplies, raw material and capital. It would hardly be possible to maintain this state economically without loan from the entente, he asserted.
 He contended that the smoothness and order with which the revolution in Austria had been achieved had done much to restrain the spread of bolshev- ism in Germany
 Entente subjects who had remained in Austria throughout the war had, he said, received no i'll treatment from the people of German Austria, who had no hatred against England. France or America.

stay longer with the regiment. l have i accordingly seen some parts of France. l put not nearly as much as if l had stayed with the regiment. Since com ing to this place have roamed around Paris a good deal. I have to go there four or five times q week for pro- visions, and accordingly see much of certain parts The Y M. C. A. has a number of places where entertain ments are given and the fellows get together. l have picked up enough French to get around in most places and get the information l wish. l have seen most of their buildings and bridg es. l go after rations about a quarter of mile from the Eiffel tower.
 They have many beautiful things about Paris and also many objection able Many make the mistake of judg ing the French bW their own standards instead of the French standards Ac- cordingly I think they come up as well as our own people. There are many things they are backward in. and in many respects their history retards their development along many lines. Then the density of the population causes different industries and differ ent methods of working.
 Well, it looks as if I might be start
 ing home by the time this reaches V )u if not before. Some outfits have been declared useless and sent out. We arc only waiting for our orders to cone. I think l will go back 10 St. paul and go to work Tn the sama old place. l want to take a swing around and see you folks and inc folks in Nebraska if I can get ba q. in time to do so be- fore the spring work opens up at the station.
 We'll we are all glad the great war is over. While peace is not signed, the terms o fthe armistice leave Germany helpless. It may be six months be- fore the final settlement is made. There are going to be some interesting de- velopments in the states and all over the world after people return to peace again. France has made war a buSi ness so long that it will take time to adjust her industries and rebuild the devastated districts. Politics in Ger many have to undergo a revision as well as in all the central powers.
 Well, 1 will save further political discussion until l see you again. 1 have had fair heath all the time I have been in France and have enjoyed much of my stay here. I am beginning to un- derstand the French people and to see things as they do. The French and Americans seem to understand each other better than they do the English. The American soldier is d good mixer and gets along very nicely with either or French but the French get along best with the Tank. You would be surprised to see how little difference there is in the general characteristics of the Canadian, Australian. New Zea : lander and American We all hit it off together in fine shape.

A lady writing about Liberty
Bonds uses a few epigrams we
should all commit to memory,
and we reproduce a few: Cru
Gifted humanity can only feel dis
gust for idle money! Stacker
dollars offer first aid to MURDER"
Whats the use of the soldiers
fighting and dying over there if
we fellows back home are not in
the fight too?'' Buy bonds
that come easy, then buy more
that cause you thought, then buy
a few with a touch of anxiety,
then really be a soldier and sac
rifice. Buy till you know from
the feel of it that you are a man
and in the fight at last"

The question of Sunday closing
bobs up serenely about every so
often in different communities.
The way to solve that matter
most effectively is to have the
legislature pass a law making it
a felony for any employer to
have an employe work on Sunday.
When the employer finds he must
do the Sunday work he will soon
conclude that Sunday closing is a
good thing. All the talk about
infringing the liberties of the
people by Sunday closing is the
veriest rot. The employer is not
interested in anything but the
money he can rake in on that
day, and while his employees are
working he is enjoying life riding
in his automobile, and taking a
day of rest. If the employer is
so deeply interested in safe
guarding the liberties of the
people let him keep his place of
business open, and give the en-
ployes a day of rest.

If we have a little less hysteria
and a little more common sense
and quiet patriotic zeal in meet
ing all the problems of the war
as they confront us from time to
time, we will get considerably
further along on the march to
victory. 1t is going to take SOL
diers and money, and millions of
each, to win this struggle against
Prussianism, and simply stand
ing on the street corners hurrah-
ing about our patriotism, and
criticizing other people who are
not hurrahing so loud, as disloy-
alists, is not getting anywhere.
Do less hurrahing, and buy more
bonds. There lies the road to
victory.

William Jennings Bryan will
be the chautauqua attraction at
Miami on May Goth. We do not
know what his subject will be,
but he will deliver a beautiful
grafton we'll worth hearing if he
even talks on bottles, sacks and
old rags" And his words will
point a moral and adorn a tale as
they ripple along like a babbling
brook, scintillating with good
cheer and the higher ideals that
make for a better citizenship.

State Senator D. H. Claridge,
of Graham county, has announced
himself as a candidate for the
democratic nomination of state
tax commissioner. We are not
personally acquainted with the
senator, but we understand he
does not belong to the booze ele-
ment of the democratic state ma
chine, which leads us to believe
he would make an excellent can
didate if he could secure the
nomination. Democracy is going
to be on trial this fall at the
primaries; whether the whiskey
element or the decent respectable
element will win out in the selec-
tion of party candidates.

Judging by, the press reports
of arrests, it looks as though all
the new religious fads that have
sprung up in the past few years
are but little more than breeding
places for sedition and treason.
The constitutional privilege of
religious liberty has been sadly
overworked, and the section
should be amended at once that
religious liberty must have as it's
basic principle devoted loyalty to
our country and it's flag.
The Winslow mail., 1918-04-12

We are inclined to believe a
lot of people are imbued with
the idea that this country is now
in the war, and it will soon be
ended. You are only deceiving
yourself. We are in the war yet,
but just beginning to get into it.
We have a few men only in
France, but more are going for
ward every day, and with every
division sent over, the more the
responsibilities increase for the
people who are left behind. To
date not an Individual has been
called upon to make a single sac
rifce, except those families who
have given their sons to go to
the war, but with the increasing
army at the front the day is
coming when we will all be called
upon to make some sacrifices,
and they may be many and oner-
Gus; and then comes the real test
of the patriotism of the people
here at home. If we stand up
heroically and accomplishing
under the gruelling deprivation
of the accustomed luxuries and
comforts that this war may be
fought to successful issue, we
can take our places in the ranks
as heroes just as much as if we
were on the firing line, but the
ones who shirk their RESPONSE
bilities, growl and complain at
the hardships imposed, and re-
fuse to deny themselves are in
the class with the deserters and
the slackers.
