We had 10000 men in the navy at
the time America entered the war and
now we have over 100000 men and
boys. Our navy is now larger than
the British navy was when the war
began. When we Joined the struggle
we had 200 ships in action; by Christ
mas we would have had 1000. Our
navy almost grew up over night. It
is the same with our army. We now
have more than 100000 fighting men
in Europe and another million in
training camps in this country. Those
who seem to still believe that it is
necessary to keep in the service a
large standing army, for. fear that it
will. take too long to mobilize and
train our boys should their services
be needed seem to be out Of step
with the real facts. America does
things, and does, them fast and we'll.

Dispatches report that before the
emperor of Germany abdicated and
sought exile in foreign country, that
revolutions had been in progress in
practically all of the German states,
and that at Berlin a so-called repub.
lic,y made up Of two or three kinds OF
socialists, had been established. We
fear that such a republic will be dis.
appointing, because the world is not
prepared to accept socialism as bas.
is for a government for the people. 1t
is said, however, that the dominant
faction in this so-called socialist re-
public is conservative and does not
stand for what is commonly accepted
as the meaning of the word socialism.
We sincerely hope that such is the
case and that no attempt will be made
to form government on our under
standing of the word socialism. We
doubt, whether this country will ap-
prove of government in Germany
founded on such doctrine, and Meth
er do we believe that France or Eng
land will approve Of such a govern
ment.. In the great struggle and sac
rifices which have been made by the
allies to destroy imperialism, some
thing better than socialism must come
out of it.

gas masks were shown and the speak
er explained the difference in con-
struction. Other trophies shown were
American and German helmets, shrap-
mel shells, swords, packs, belts, etc.
Following the address of Mr.. Brown
Rev. Father Farrelly was introduced.
Father Farrelly delivered an excel
lent address in which ne reviewed
the causes leading to the world war.
He explained the purposes of the var
ious war activities and that it was
the duty of every American to donate
literally that the American boys
might enjoy every comfort possible.
Mrs. Carol D. Evans was then call
ed upon and she briefly outlined the
work that the women of the Y. w. c.
A. are doing, bringing out the fact
that the women behind the man be-
hind the gun are doing a most i'm
portant work. She told of the hostess
houses that are being maintained at
the camps in this country and abroad
for the women war workers. Mrs. Ev-
ans has taken an active interest in
this important branch Of the war &C.
tivities work.
At the conclusion Of the speaking
program Judge Conner called George
Lamberty and O. A. Patterson to the
platform, appointing them clerks to
list the subscriptions. First one nun
dred dollar subscriptions were asked
for and they were numerous. People
seemed more than anxious to donate
funds for this worthy cause. Later.
fifty, twenty-five, ten and five dollar
subscriptions were solicited. Never
before in the history Of Denison has
such large amount of money been
subscribed by so few people. When
the total subscription was announced
there was loud cheering.
Friday Afternoon Meeting
On Friday afternoon another meet
ing in the interests of the United War
activities work was held at the opera
house. This meeting was largely at
tended, there being delegates present
from nearly every township in the
county.
Hon. G.. G. Saunders, Of Council
Bluffs, delivered the address. He has
delivered several addresses in Deni-
son and so is no stranger to the peo-
pie of this community. In opening
he expressed himself as we'll pleased
with the showing made, by Crawford
county during the war, stating that
they had fulfilled every obligation
placed upon them. Mr.. Saunders is
4 former resident of Crawford coun-
ty. having at one time lived on farm
near Manila and for that reason he
was more than proud Of Crawfords
snviable record.
The speaker explained in detail the
work being carried on by the various
associations for whom the money is
being raised at this time. He said
hat it had been planned for each !
to raise funds separately
out that at the suggestion of the pres |
dent they perfected an organization,
each one making up their budgets and |
decided to make but one drive.
Mr.. Saunders told of the great good
hat is being done by these organiza-
ions, both at home and abroad, and |
he appealed to the people to subscribe I
literally that the boys might enjoy |
svery comfort possible. He stated
hat the organizations would be need

Germany laughed at our notes of
protest and called US American
swine They thought we had no
moral stamina and that we were too
cowardly to fight, that all our protes-
tations were meant for home con-
sumption At first our president took
at their face value all the words OF
assurance that the Berlin pirates
handed out, but as soon as he had
unmasked the beast, he was a real
leader of his people and all Joined in
giving him support. While there we're
comparatively few who advocated war
in 1916 today there are but mere
handful in our country who regret
that we entered the war We can
now plainly see that it was our duty
to get in the war, and do our share
to stop the atrocious crimes that the
worlds blacklist history never saw
before.

CHARACTER OF LAwLEssNEss

SV .Nvv..SSiN-SS
The demonstration made on Mon
day, Of this week in celebrating the
return Of peace seems to have been
carried out with less disorder than on
two or three occasions before that
when an attempt was made to cele.
brate on a false report that the war
was over We presume the other
demonstrations We're made by people
with whom the wish that the
war was over was father to
the thought that such was the
the case. 1t is most unfortunate that
on occasions of this kind class of
people come to the front who should
be suppressed, and under the claim
of patriotism they find license to COM
NIT depredations that are nothing
short Of criminal. In the demonstra-
ton week or ten days ago, business
houses were. solicited for funds to
help buy powder to be used in max
ing the demonstration, and after be-
ing solicited and having contributed
to the fund, their buildings were then
fired upon by those who used the am
purchased by the business
men. The flag standards on the
around town were fired up
on and especially the ball on top of
the standards. This is character Of
lawlessness that should: not be toler-
ated In the celebration on Monday
there were miscreants in the process,
ion, said to be from other towns,
however, who made a practice Of run
ming from their autos onto the prem
Uses of those who lived upon the
streets and onto their porches with
out permission and took the flags
attached to them, and run away with
them, and in some instances purloined
valuable flags which were carried
away and never returned. The low
lived miscreants who were engaged
in such practice on the theory that It
was patriotic should find themselves
behind prison bars ,as reward for
that character of patriotism. 1t is
said that certain young ladies, in or
der to evidence their patriotism, wore
the American flag as an article OF,
and as capes about their
shoulders, which is STRICTLY forbid
len by the rules governing the use of
he flag. We presume, however, that
his was done through ignorance and
without intention of showing disre-,
;pect for the flag. iii

The leaders of Germany who sowed
seed in Russia have discovered it
blossoming in Germany. Now that
the courses have come home to
roost," they have proven bad losers
and are crying like children. 1t was
the same with the Zeppelin raids.
They killed many women and chill
dren and non-combatant men. Hav-
ing deliberately with malice afore-
thought started this form Of warfare,
the ex-kaiser and his nauseating syco-
plants lifted their. hands in horror
when they were given just small
taste of their own medicine.
