THE PRESIDENTS
WAR PROGRAM

President Wilson is engaged in
far-sighted work involving the fu-
ture of his Nation after the war.
He realizes the period of recon
struction that will follow peace,
will have an important bearing on
the whole, economical and govern
mental structure Of this country.
TO congress he must look for as.
sistance.
Should the Republicans succeed
in their efforts to CHECK Il
President by electing a Congress in
opposition to his views on war and
reconstruction, their first move
ment would be to elect a Republi-
can Speaker to preside over he
lower house.
Who believes that a Republican
congressman from Oklahoma would
vote for the Presidents choice for
Speaker?
Who believes that a Republican
congressman from Oklahoma would
refuse to enter his party caucus
thus tieing himself to work at all
times for partisan measures; to OPP
pose the President-to control all
legislation?
Who believes that a Republican
congressman from Oklahoma could
serve this state best AS a member
OF the oposition, than one who is
within the confidence of his Presi-
dent and in hearty accord with the
plans for reconstruction and prose
cution of the war?
Let the voter OF Oklahoma, re-
gardless of partisan inclination,
take these questions home to him
self; make it personal matter Of
securing voice in National affairs.
Let him answer: For or against
the President?

1T is as follows:
1.-The destruction of every arbl-
erary power anywhere that can sep
arately, secretly and of its single
choice, disturb the peace of the
world; or, if it cannot be presently
destroyed, at reast its reduction TO
virtual impotency.
"The power which has hthereo
controlled the German nation is OF
the sort here described. 1t is with
in the choice OF the German nation
to altar It, The presidents words
just quoted naturally constitute a
condition precedent to peace, if
peace is to come by the action of
the German people themselves. The
president feels bound to say that
the whole process of peace viii in his
judgment depend upon the definite
ness and the satisfactory character
of the guarantees which can be Civ

indispensable that the governmenes

more than an occasional vote cast for

suring the President that we are go

LETTER FROM
WERNER DYE
He Describes Conditions at
the Front.

Following is part of a letter
received this week by a friend in
Cottonwood from Vern Dye, who
is Sin the thick of it" in France
The letter was dated May 8:
Il was with the British army
the first three weeks of the Ger
man advance, which commenced
March 81. wish the people OF
America-the young men who are
waiting for the draft, the paci-
fist, and the rest who think that
the U. S. should have waited un-
til the Germans came across the
water before preparing to fight
them-could see some of the ter
rible things saw where the Huns
advanced toward Calais.
"They commenced this drive
by shelling all towns and back
areas within range with mustard
gas, which affects the eyes and
skin first-particularly the eyes,
ultimately causing blindness. A
day or two later the victim takes
pneumonia or some other acute
lung disease, which usually results
fatally.
The French people who were
in these towns following the bonn
bardment had to be hauled out
by trainlcads to the hospitals. |
saw old men and women, girls
and little children burned, blister
ed and blinded beyond recogni-
ton, and herded like sheep by
those who were not so bad off,
waiting for transportation t o
take them back to safety. Some
times it took a day or two and in
the meantime a high explosive
shell would come over and merci-
fully wipe out the pitiful flock =
herders and all.
These are a very few of the
horrors that France is bearing
without a murmur, and in Amer
lea they wall and gnash their
teeth because the boys have to go
across the sea to fight. They had
better thank God that it is across
the sea instead of in their own
country and in their own homes
that these crimes occur"

To Our Subscribers.

For the last couple of years the
prices for everything used in a
printing ofice-and especially
for the publication of a news
paper-have been constantly
climbing until there is not a cent
profit any longer in yearly sub
scriptions at $1.50. Thousands of
weekly newspapers throughout the
country have been forced to raise
their rates of subscription as well
as advertising, and publishers not
doing so are rapidly going out of
business. Even the postage on
newspapers has been greatly in
creased recently.
The Chronicle does not intend
to go out of business, for the rea-
son that we intend to raise the
rates to Offset the increased ex-
pense, whatever that may be-
just the same as all other busi-
nesses are. forced to do.
Beginning July l, next month,
the yearly subscription price Of
the Chronicle will be So, payable
strictly in advance.
In order that none may feel
that "snap judgment" is being
taken, all of our subscribers whose
subscriptions expire within the
next year will be permitted to re-
new at the old price Of $3.50,
If PAID BEFORE JULY 1.
OF our vast army of subscrib-
ers we do not believe that one
of them will object to this slight
raise, as we feel sure that all Of
them are fair-minded enough to
believe in the good old honest pol
icy Of Give and let live"

BIG ARMY DRAFT
FOR THIS MONTH
ElghtY-seven to 60 from
Idaho County.

Idaho was called upon Saturday
oy the war department for 1900
draft men. They are to entrain
Tor Camp Lewis during the five
day period beginning June "a.
This is next to the largest call for
draft men in the history of the
state. The quota came as a sur
prise, for a much smaller number
was expected. Idaho county's
quota is unusually large this time
81. In all previous drafts this
county has furnished a total of 81
men.
The following are among those
from this part of the county in
the present draft:
Cottonwood-Frank Schober.
Carl Farthing, Raimon Triplett,
Carl Rehder, John Rookie, Andrew
Drube, Ed Won Oy, Clyde Leon
ard, Roy Triplett, Carl Fuller.
Greencreek- Otto Smith, Harry
fwillegar, Bernard Wensman.
Fenn-Franc Bowman, Court
ney Zehner, L. A. MuIhalI.
Keuterville-Bernard Hattrup.
Ferdinand-Horace Quigley.
Joseph Clarence Watson, Wal
lie Allen.
Westlake--John Fam, Frank
Trukositz.
Spring Camp-Delbert Cattron,
Erick Eberhardt.
Numerous counties have but a
few left in class l and it is there
fore necessary to reapportion the
call among those counties and cit
les having large quotas to be
drawn upon, for all of the class 1
men are to be called before the
second class is entered in any
county. District boards will also
be called upon to reclassify mar
ried men or newlyweds who be-
cause of dependent wives were
given exemptions. Where possible
men engaged in agricultural pur-
suits are not to be included.
The heavy call came as sur
prise. Before credits were allow
ed Idaho had in class l a total of
6,386. 1t has already drawn from
that class 2,313 men and has a
balance left of 1861. Subtract
ing the present 1000 call there
are but 1861 men left in class l.

Better News From The Front

AS we go to press, the good news
is received by wire that the allies
have just won a great battle in
France-the greatest of the war
and captured nearly 100000 Ger
mans within the last couple of
days, besides killing several times
that number. At last the enemy
is on the run the right direction.
The Americans are receiving
the highest praise from the French
and British for their magnificent
bravery and fighting qualities.
Even the Germans are astonished
at the wonderful pluck and brav-
cry of the Americans, who are ac-
quiring a habit of driving every
thing before them.
Enough Of our boys are already
over there to stop the big German
drive towards Paris and England,
and there is no doubt that before
long, what is left of the thorough
ly whipped Germans-those able
to run-will be breaking their
arms, legs and necks running for
their own country.

Mr.. and Mrs. August Schroeder
received letter this week from
their son Bert, who is doing army
service in France. Bert was
agreeably surprised a few days
ago. He was sitting in front of
his dugout reading the Cotton
wood Chronicle when a big auto
load of soldiers arrived, and at the
wheel was his old friend, Vern
Dye, this being their first meeting
since going to France. Bert says
it does him SO much good to get
the Chronicle that he reads every
line in it ads and all-several
times over.
