II will not appeal to you to continue
and renew and increase your efforts.
I do not believe that it is necessary to
do so. l believe that you will do it
without any word or appeal from me,
because you understand as well as do
the needs and opportunities of this
great hour when the fortunes of man
kind everywhere seem about to he de-
termined and when America has the
greatest opportunities she has ever had
to make good her own freedom and in
making it good to lend helping hand
to men struggling for freedom every
where. President Wilson.

The citizens of Cody, Wyoming.
headed by Mrs. w. F. Cody. widow of
Buffalo Bill, founder of the place, have
placed patriotism ahead of sentiment
At the suggestion of Mrs. Cody all
efforts towards raising fund for the
erection of a memorial for her late
husband have been curbed, and here
after all such energy will be applied to
raising funds to support the Red Cross,
Liberty Loans and like.
Il know that my husband. were he
to have his say. would place the needs
of our country and its soldiers ahead of
a memorial-building project" Mrs.
Cody declared. 1.-The demand for
funds to carry on the war and the work
of the Red Cross is so great that
think all our energies should be devoted
to that purpose.

1--WE are fighting, therefore. as truly
for the liberty and self-government 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 Uuited States must know by
this time that his whole future fortune
. lies in tho balance. Our national life
and our whole economic development
will pass under the sinister influence of
foreign control if we do not win. -

Red Gro. and Var Service.

Assistant Secretary Of State William
Phillips says, ITO crush the menace
modern Germany has become, we must
have in Germany as soon as possible
= million American soldiers.
''It will be useless to build up and
train with immense and large expense
the great armies which the United
States is preparing, unless we first of
all have the ships to carry them over
there and equip them until their pres
ence has at last spelt victory.
IAN army of trained workmen to
build ships must first be raised, in
order that American shipyards be sup
piled with their full quota of labor:
You do not haye to carry q rife to do
your utmost for your country in this
grave crisis. A man who has helped
build ship can have everlasting pride
in the knowledge that he has helped
undermine the structure of autocracy.
IF we have the necessary ships we
will have won this war.

HOUSE 0. KS BILL TO DRAFT
YOUTHS 81 SINCE JUNE5

Washington, May 16-The house to-
day passed without record vote the
conference report on the bill requir-
ing registration in the draft Of youths
who have become 81 years Of age
since June 5 last.
The senate previously had agreed
to the report and after its passage by
the house 1t was sent to the president.
AS finally agreed to, the bill pro-
vides that youths registered under it
shall be placed at the bottom Of the
lists of those classes to which they
will be assigned, and that students
now in medical and theological
schools shall be exempt from the
draft
The only opposition to the bill in
the house today was on the student
exemption feature. Representative
Mckenzie of Illinois, Republican, de-
nounced the provision as class legis-
lation, as un-American and violative
of the principle that all Americans are
equal.

RED CROSS DRIVE
All Preparations Are Being Made Now
For the Second Red Cross War
Fund-MasOn County Is
Bound to Reach
Her Goal.

Maysville is preparing for the sec
ond Red Cross war fund campaign
which will be conducted for seven
days beginning next Monday. We be-
lieve that Maysville will maintain the
splendid standard set by her citizen
ship in previous war campaigns but
we print below an appeal issued by
the Red Cross headquarters:
You're regular, red-blooded true
blue American. You love your coun-
try You love that tapping swapping
old flag. Your heart thumps hard
when the troops tramp by. You're
loyal-one hundred per cent.
You intend to-you want to-help
win the war in hurry.
"Sacrifce?" sure, you've been think
ing and you say "just wait till they
really need my money. And you've
honestly thought that you meant that
too.
But look yourself in the eye now
and search up and down inside your
heart. Did you meant it? Did you
really mean "sacrifice?"
Surely you didn't mean, did you tc
give only what you can spare? Wha'
about our boys who are giving theil
lives in the trenches? Are they Civ
ing only what they can spare? How
about those mothers and little chill
dren in the shell-wrecked towns o.
that war-swept hell; hungry, ragged
sobbing, alone-giving up their homes
their husbands their fathers?
All this while we over here, Will
our comforts and pleasures hold VI
our hands and feel patriotic because
we have given-what? Just some
loose bills off the top of our roll
We've given all we can spare"
Come! Let's quit fooling our
selves. Let us learn what sacrifice
means. Let us begin now to give
more than we can spare. Let us give
TO the second Red Cross war funt

is becoming more serious daily. Each
day brings it's new cheat of protests
from grain shipping points which have
been unable to obtain cars. The rail

ter from the secretary of the inter-
state commerce commission stating
that the principal grain growing states
had requested that conference be
called for the consideration of the
adoption Of uniform rules for the dis
tribution of cars at country stations.
He said that Chicago or st. Louis had
been suggested as convenient sites
for this conference, and he asked
whether North Dakota would be repre-
sented if such a conference were call
ed. Secretary Calderhead promptly
advised that North Dakota would be
represented.
