should be. We are glad that
since we are in the struggle on
the entente side, we can in
some measure repay the debt
we owe to tn at plucky republic;
but without grievances of our
own, we could not in honor
have entered the conflict.
There is no necessity of our
inventing reasons for our &c
ton. The cauees were plain
and could not be mistaken.
The American people were ex-
pected to bow to the arrogant
demands of Prussia and her
war lord, and surrender rights
guaranteed TO us by the laws
OF all nations-even those of
the arrogant teuton empire. 70
have yielded would have been

tho respect of the nations Of the
earth.
Let us be honest with our
people. We are in the war be
cause we had cause to enter
Just causes piled noun
tain high. We are not fighting
the battle of any other country.
We are fighting our own bat
ties. We shall, however, fight
side by side with the entente
armies in all good fellowship,
glad that we are fighting in the
same noble cause.-the preser

Don't Know Americans.

German papers in gloating
over the sinking of the Tuscan
in expressed the conviction
that the incident "mnst unfuil-
ingly dampen the spirits of
Americans"
1t evidence were wanted that
Germany is lamentably ignor-
ant of American character the
above is sufficient. Americans
are the last race on earth to be
given to crying over split milk.
Probably no nation in history
has grown tn commanding in.
iluence in the world over great
or opposition than has the
United Staes. Opposition is
the bread of life to our people,
and your red b!ooded American
has n mild contempt for any
occupation that contains none
OF the element of danger or
chance,
If proof were wanted to re-
flute the insinuation of tho Tue
tons that we would blanch at
the dangers from their subma-
rlnes, it is found in the fact
that before the ink was hardly
dry on the papers in this coun.
TRIP giving the news of the sink.
ing Of the TuscRnia, enlistments
in all branches had jumped
to the support of France, II
former noble ally in cur own
struggle for freedom, that her
people may remain free and not
be crushed to earth by n barba.
rio foe, scientifically skilled to
be cruel.
just such erroneous statc.
ments az the above are respon.
sible for much of the dissntis.
faction and Justification in the
country. Ignorant and un
thinking people gather from
such utternnces that this coun.
try il fighting the battles of
France. Nothing could be
farther from the fact.
Had not the German policy
run counter TO every interost of
the American people; had not
that country leyeled an often
sive directly at us, we would
still be found adhering to the
policy OF neutrality, the policy
to which we desperately tried
to cling even in the face of re
peated insults and aggressions.
Had Germany IN the spring
of 1917 in good faith carried
out her promises in regard to
submarine warfare, President
Wilson would not have sevored
relations with her. Other
causes might, and probably
would, have worked n rupture;
bu; the direct cause of our en-.
tering the tight was Germany's
failure to keep her plighted
word in matter that meant
almost the life or death of this
country.
The United States has no
quarrel with Germany ON
Frances account. The wrongs
Of that country may, and no
doubt will, add to the zeal with
which our people will prosecute
the war, but they were no part
of the causes that led 10 our
taking action. We are today
as loyal to tho Monroe Doctrine
as at any time in our history.

the Old World countries are no
concerns OF ours, aud never

When you hear n patriot la
menting the fact that he is past
the service age, remind him that
those within that age are giving
800 days n year to their country,
and that by scratching around
right lively he might discover
opportunities to employ at least
a part of his time the same way
even here at home. Many other
things besides lighting are to be
done.

TURNER-YOKEL BOUT
AROUSING INTEREST

An interesting topic in sporting ciI-
cles is the championship wrestling
match here Friday night at the Lyce-
um Theater between Joe Turner. mid
dle-weight champion of the world.
and Mike Yokel, who also claims the
title by virtue of his victories over
Henery Gerhing, Chris Gordon, Way
no Keytonion. and Irslinger. YokeI
wrestled Turner when last seen here
for three hours without a fall and the
match was declared a draw by referee
O'Connor. The coming match is sched-
uled to go to a finish.
Turner and Yokel represent the best
men Of their weight. The local man
has been showing rare form in re-
cent matches, while Yokel has had
things pretty much his own way this
season.
The betting is about an even break
Yokel halls from the West. All Of the
best ones have wrestled here in the
last few years but so far none has
come up to Turner in science and
speed. Yokel is much stronger than
Joe and might have a few pounds
the advantage in weight but is not
quite as fast. Manager McGeorge, Of
the Lyceum Theater. is making spec
ial arrangements for large crowd.

with unabated fury until the
fourth, when the Kids vicious body
