WILL TELL OF WAR
AS SOLDIER SEES IT
Sergeant Billy Moore, American With
First Canadians, Will Bring Real
Message from Europe ~

Sergeant Billy Moore, famous AM
erican soldier who enlisted with the
renowned Fifth Battalion of the
First Canadians, will give two ad-
dresses at Morris on Friday and

Moore is accompanied by the Royal
Welsh singers. He comes here under
the auspices of the Red Cross. Ser
geant Moore enlisted in 1914 in the
First Canadians, shortly after war
was declared. He was then a resi-
dent of Valparaiso, Indiana, where
he was educated. He enlisted Au-
gust Is, 1914, and after short train
ing in Canada was sent to England

ing men. He participated in the
battles of Ypres and Festinbert and
was twice wounded and as a result
of being struck by a dunn dunn bull
let suffered the loss Of his left leg by
amputation. Sergeant Moore. after
being wounded lay "a hours In water
in a ditch before being picked UP by
his comrades. He was decorated for
bravery in action and his talk is said
to be one OF the most interesting and
instructive being delivered in the
present war. He will talk from
actual experience the experiences
of the solder who has faced the
flame of modern warfare; about camp
life, hospital life. conditions as he
found them when entering the serv-
ice and when he left It, and the out
look today. The proceeds will go to
the Red Cross and the lecture and
entertainment should be doubly in
teresting at this time when the great
armies on the other side Of the water
are engaged in what seems to be the
crucial moment

STEVENS COUNTY GOES
WAY OVER IT'S QUOTA
Every Township Ouer-Subscnbes Allotment
In Third Liberty Loan Drive In Record
Time.

Every district and township in the
county overscribed its allotment to
the Third Liberty Loan and reports
indicate that at least % per cent of
the people in the county have bought
Liberty bonds.
Stevens county won one of the big
gest victories in its history in the
campaign just closed for the Third
Liberty Loan and it now holds a
place among the top notchers in the
percentage column of oversubscrip
tion. The success of the drive ex-
ceeded the committees fondest ex-
pectations. With this county fail
ing to raise its quota in the first and
second liberty loans they set about
their task determined to make a
showing this time and place Stevens
in it's proper place in the way Of pa
triotic activities.
A splendid organization had been
perfected for making the big drive
under the leadership of F. A Han
cock of Morris and he had many able
assistants from all parts of the coun-
ty. Together they arranged every
detail prior to the opening of the
campaign and every person who was
able to subscribe for a bond was al
loted his or her share. Meetings
were held in all parts of the county
explaining the Liberty Loan and
scores of business men of the differ
ent towns gave several evenings to
this work To the fearless and fair
manner of handling the details by
Chairman r. A. Hancock is due a
great deal of credit for the success
of the campaign. This was his first
attempt at this sort of patriotic work
but he handled it like veteran and
secured hundreds of subscriptions by
the fair way in which he approached
the people.
The county over-subscribed its al
lotment by $147,OO0 according to re-
turns tabulated up to Wednesday
night of this week. This is nearly
65 per cent over, the allotment be-
ing $230,OOO. This over-subscription
was made possible because some peo-
pie felt their allotment was not
enough and called for more and 9TH
ers to whom no allotment had been
made desired to do their bit toward
helping the government.
From all parts Of the county the
same report came in. People sub
scribed literally and willingly be-
cause the real meaning of the war
has begun to come home and every
one is anxious to put an end to the
great conflict as speedily as possible.
Mr.. Hancock says he is more than
pleased with the spirit displayed by
everyone solicited. That the loan
was over-subscribed the first night
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1918-04-26

was delightful surprise to the COM
mittee and altho they felt confident
of being successful when they start
ed, yet they did not realize that it
was going to come so fast
The best part Of the whole thing
is that there will not be blue card
sent in from this county. Every per-
son who had been put down to pur-
chase bonds did so and here in Nor
ris alone one-hundred and twenty
people who had not been given an
allotment bought $50 bonds. Every
precinct will get an Honor Flag for
Going Over the Top"
Perhaps this county has been
somewhat slow in getting started on
the Liberty Loan Bond buying, but
now that it has got it's stride it will
maintain it's place with any county
in the state thruout the balance of the
war. Nearly $50 of it's sons are now
serving Uncle Sam in the various
branches Of the service and they can
rest assured that the folks at home
are doing their part to back them up.
The report from the different dis
tricts of the county up to Wednesday
noon was as follows:
