TELL THE KAISER

Here is a message that was
written months ago by j. G.
Diome, first printed in the Gulf
Coast l1unberman and since re-
published in practically every
state in the union. Read it and
you will not doubt the justice of
the cause for which America
fights. The message follows:
Germany wants to know what
the United States is fighting for.
She thinks the sinking of neu-
tral ships without warning ism t
enough to bring us in.
All right Lett S tell herl

ragged women

doughboy to his pal as lie played

Officers went through the crowd
giving a final warning about use of
gas masks, and attention conferred
around masks for a moment A lot
of chaps tried them on again. Then
packs were again adjusted, and the
group of doughboys streamed slowly
on.
More Silent Now.
AS they got nearer the front
trenches, the word was passed to
walk more quietly Conversation ex-
cept in undertones stopped and they
descended into the trenches. All you
heard was the steady knock OF hob
naied shoes on the trench duckboards
as these new arrivals were quietly
initiated to the trenches on the west
ern front, somewhere in France.
Quietly and without commotion the
officers stationed their men, with
lookouts watching across moonlit No
Mans Land, the former occupants of
the trenches left, and the relief was
completed
There is something about the fear
less quiet way these new doughboys
take to the trenches that makes you
feel they know lot about warfare.
They are veterans before they enter
the trenches, by first-rate military
training if not experience. Their dis
cipline is fine, and their efficiency
tells you they are ready for business
Meaning whipping Germans.

stoker's Act of Bravery.

In these days of undersea warfare, when the blow is often struck without warning, a new danger is added to the already hazardous tasks of the ships firemen. Speed Is an essential in beating the U-boat. and this requires constant work. Recently the bottom blow valve of boiler was carried away on vessel of the United States navy. One of the crew was AlOysius Fawcett, a Herman. first class. With two others he made his way through steam-filled tireroom and fought n passage through a hot cloud in the engine room. Here he helped haul the fires at critical moment. The nerve and quickness of the act saved the boiler and the ves- sel from serious accident. Fawcett en- listed in the navy in 1911 at Cincin- nati.

APPEAL FOR THRIFT
President Asks Citizens to Buy
 Only Essentials.
SYSTEMATIC SAVING URGED
People Requested to Pledge by June 20 to Invest in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or Other Government Securities.

Washington, D. C.-TO save mate rials and labor for necessary war pur- poses. President Wilson appealed to Americans "to buy only those things which are essential to the individual health and efficiency" and to volun- teer on or before June 2S. National Thrift day. 10 invest systematically in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or other government securities.
 This war Is one of nations-not of armies" said the president. land all of our 1O0.OO0.O0O people must he economically and industrially adjusted to war conditions if this nation is to play its full part In the conflict.
 Pledge is Sought.
 "The problem before us is not pri- marily & financial problem. hut rather e problem of increased production of war essentials and the saving of the materials and the labor necessary for the support and equipment of our army and navy. Thoughtless expendi- ture of money for nonessentials uses up the labor of men. the products of the farm, mines. and factories. and overburdens transportation. all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes.
 ''The great results which we seek can be obtained only by the participa- tion of young and old in 6 national thrift movement. l therefore urge that our people everywhere pledge themselves. as suggested by the secre- tary of the treasury. to the practice Of thrift: to serve the government to their utmost in Increasing production in sli fields necessary 10 the winning of the war; to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind; to devote their labor only to the most necessary tasks. and to buy only those things which are essential to individ- ual health and efficiency.
 Buy More U. S. Securities"
 "Thc securities issued by the treas ury department are. so many of them. within the reach of every one that the door of opportunity in this matter Is wide open to all of us.
 'I appeal to all who now own either Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps to continue to practice economy and thrift and 10 appeal to all who do not own government securities to do like wise and purchase them to the extent , of their means. The man who buys government securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States government until after this war. and to that same degree does not buy in competition with the gov ernment.
 "I earnestly appeal to every man. woman and child to pledge themselves on or before June 2S to save constant , ly and to buy as regularly as possible the securities of the government. "The 2Sth of June ends this special period of enlistment In the great vol unteer army of production and saving here at home May there be none un- enlisted on that day"
