No soldiers or sailors ever proved
themselves more quickly ready for
the test Of the battle or acquitted
themselves with more splendid cour-
age and achievement when put TO
the test.
Those who played some part in
directing the great process by which
the war was pushed irresistibly for
ward to the final triumph may now
forget all that and delight their
thoughts with the story of what our
men did. Their officers understood
the grim and exacting task they had
undertaken and performed il with
an audacity efficiency and unhesi-
tating courage that touch the story
Of convoy and battle with imperish-
able distinction at every turn,
whether the enterprises were great
or small-from their great chiefs.
Pershing and Sims, down TO the
youngest lieutenants; and their men
were worthy OF them-such men as
hardly need TO be commanded and
go to their terrible adventure

gence OF those who know just what
II is they would accomplish.
MEMORY OF HEROISM

Il am proud to be the fellow

and valor. Those OF us who stayed

portunity TO win II otherwise: but
for many a long day we shall think
ourselves accursed we were not

The memory of those days Of
triumphant battle will go with these
fortunate men 10 their graves; and
each will have his favorite memory.
Old men forget; yet all shall be for

What we thank God for with deep

WILSON'S ADDRESS.
The president said:
Gentlemen of the congress: The
year that has elapsed since L last

stitutional duty 10 give to the con-
gress from time to time information
on the state of the union has been so
crowded with great events, great
processes. and great results that 1

picture of it's transactions or of the
far-reaching changes which have
been wrought in the life Of our na-
tion and OF the world. You have
yourselves witnessed these things, as
have. II is too soon to assess
them: and we who stand in the
midst of them and are part of them
are less qualified than men OF an
other generation will be 10 say what
they mean, or even what they have
been. But some great outstanding
facts are unmistakable and constitute
in a sense part of the public business
with which il is our duty TO deal.
To state them is to set the stage for
the legislative and executive action
which must grow out OF them and
which we have yet TO shape and de-

BILITY.

This war is to be won not by
one man or one thousand men
or one million men, or one mil
lion people. It is to be won by
the united efforts Of the indi-
viduals Of many nations,
Every American citizen has
an individual duty to perform,
an individual share Of the re-
sponsibilty. The more powerful
and effective the American fore
es are the shorter will be the war
and the shorter the war the few
er lost lives, the greater the
number Of American soldiers
who will return home victorious.
Every American who econo-
mizes in consumption Of mater
ial, who increases production,
who saves and lends savings to
the Government, does something
to help win the war.

That his auditors fully appreciat-
ed his splendid oratorical effort
was amply evidenced by the con-
tinued Interruptions of spon-
taneous applause. The only re-
gret is that the speech was en-
tirely extemporaneous and there
fore we are unable to reproduce
it in these columns for the ben
eft Of our readers, as we other
wise would do. At intervals the
band rendered appropriate Sc
lections in a highly creditable
manner. At the conclusion of
the governors address the SIM
pie tho impressive ceremony of
laying the cornerstone took
place. The governor, as master
mason, placed in the receptacle
at the base of the stone copies
of the local papers, a history of
the school district, a copy of the
last session laws, a pamphlet de-
scribing the resources of the
county and a history Of the Com
mercial club. The stone was
then lowered into it's place, and
with a few deft touches of the
trowel the governor completed
the ceremony which means so
much to the present and the
coming generations of the youths
of Bottineau. Just as the pro-
gram was about completed a
furry Of excitement was occa-
stoned by the giving away of a
section Of a false floor, which
was too heavily laden with the
eager sight-seers, but as the dis
trance to the ground was but a
few feet no serious injury to the
participants resulted.
During the evening the en-
bryo soldiers were further en-
tertained with a dance in Wige-
by hall, the excellent music be-
ing furnished by Bottineau's
famous orchestra. Promptly at
$50 the next morning, headed
by the band, they marched from
the court house to the depot
where, amid the cheers and good
wishes Of the assembled hum
dreds, they boarded the train
and the first lap Of their crusade
for God and humanity was be-
gun.

Eighty-Six Soldier Boys Are En-

Departure For Camp Dodge,
Iowa.

Monday was something of a
red letter day in Bottineau's
calendar, the occasion being the
laying Of the cornerstone Of the
new $4,000 high school with
impressive ceremonies, and also
the entertainment given by our
citizens to eighty-six soldier
boys who entrained Tuesday
morning bound for the govern
ment preparatory cantonment at
Camp Dodge. In the afternoon
autoes were requisitioned and
the boys, accompanied by the To-
cal band, were conveyed to Lake
Metigoshe, where mine hosts
Steinmeier & Kelley had prepar-
ed a sumptuous banquet for their
delectation. At the conclusion
Of the feast the soon-to-be war
riors spent some time in the
scenic enjoyment Of Bottineau's
chief beauty y-spot, being regaled
meanwhile by a concert by the
band, after which they were re-
turned to the city in time to par
ticipate in the ceremonies incl
dent to the laying of the corner
stone, which occurred at $3.50

rooms and the uses for which
they were designed. The last

placed at 5000 people, who
greeted the appearance Of North

hearty applause. The. governor

Land for Soldiers.
Congressman Sinnott Of Ore
gon, a member Of the house
committee on public lands, has
introduced a bill authorizing an
appropriation Of one billion dol
lars, or as much Of that sum as
may be needed, to provide farms
on the arid lands Of the West
for returned soldiers, sailors,
marines, Red Cross nurses and
officers, after the war. His bill
provides for the immediate be-
ginning Of work on reclamation
projects, so that in case Of an
early ending Of the war the
farms will be ready for use.
Not only does he want the
other improvements necessary
arid lands put under irrigation
by the government, through this
fund, but he wants the govern
ment to level, clear, fence, plow
and seed the land for the first
crop, and to build the necessary
house and barn, and make any
to give the settler a fair start.
Representative Sinnott de-
clines to take the whole Of the
Australian program, which he
follows up to this point. He
balks at keeping the title of the
land in the government, and at
giving the settler a life lease in
return for permanent occupancy
and cultivation Of the land. In
stead, he proposes the same
scheme of long term payment
for the farm as is now in opera
tion on the government reclama-
tion projects.
Under Sinnott's bill-upon
which he hopes to get a hearing
and a report this year-the re-
turned soldier or sailor or Red
Cross nurse would get a prefer
ence right to take up farm
upon one Of the projects which
would be developed by the bill
lion dollar fund. The total fund
thus far in use by the reclama-
ton service is only 100000.
The Women and the Senate.
Senator's advocating a summer
recess in order to mend political
fences at home, may sigh for
Washington on reaching their
own states. National Woman's
party organizers are stirring
things up in the states of sena-
tors who have failed to support
the federal suffrage amendment.
Opponents Of senators run
ming for reelection next fall are
being influenced to support the
suffrage measure. In states
where no campaign is pending,
public sentiment is being regis
tered 50 that every senator will
realize the desire for suffrage on
the part of his constituents.
The effects Of this campaign
are already appearing. Senator
Weeks Of Massachusetts is faced
by an opponent in the Republican
primaries who has declared for
suffrage. Senator James Of Ken
tucky has a suffrage opponent
on the Republican side. Other
senator's are meeting the same
situation.
