Down at Spokane the draft board
found Greek and Swedish aliens who
refuse to serve in the army, and it has
been suggested that all such aliens
should be deported to the countries
from which they came. The fact is
that there are altogether too many
foreigners who came to this country
to improve their conditions, and have
prospered here where opportunity is
open to every one regardless of ma
tionality, who, remain loyal to the
country Of their nativity instead of
becoming Americanized 1t is evident
that such people will not fuse in the

place for that class of undesirable

tbero has been no diminution in the
! wok Of the big guns that have been
saving steel over the fields of France
for four years. In every instance
where raids have been made the aiiles
have gained ground, not great in ex-
tent but still a gain, which improves
the lines that are being held. This
constant nicking of the lines Keeps

heavy losses. The Americans are tax

count Mirbach, the German ambas-
sador to Russia, at Moscow, may be
followed by another German invasion
of that country. The present calm

Complaint has been made loud and
long because the aeroplane man who
made a fight, or two of them, at the
Penticton celebration failed to fill his
contract and appear at the Omak
celebration. The aviator informed
residents of Oroville that through
government orders he was prohibited
from making exhibition flights in the
United States. and that is the reason
he did not go on from here to Omak
If his excuse is true then there is no
ground for finding fault with the

How much of a sacrifice have YOU
made to help along the war? Unwill-
ing, Or unable through age or legiti-
mate exemptions, to enter the service
and offer your life for your country,
if must be, what luxury, what pleas
ure, what sport have you given up
that costs money that you might be
able to contribute even in a small way
toward financing the war? Think it
over and ask yourself what self
|abnegation you have made. And what
is a personal inconvenience, the CIV
ing of few dollars, to compare with
the giving of life, or limb, as so
many of our young men are doing, as
I so many of the men OF France, and
England, and Italy, and Belgium have
given and are giving, that you may
remain at home in safety and enjoy
the comforts of that home, prosper
| ing at your business, profession or
vocation. All over sunny France the
insignia of Calvary is marking the
graves of the young manhood of
America. Others sleep among the sea
weeds of the deep, others are suffer
! ing from bitter wounds, still others
enduring an experience worse than
death as prisoners in the hands of
the heartless Huns. Remember what
those boys are giving, giving with the
! exalted enthusiasm that marks the
cheerful sacrifice of the American as
he dashes CALAMITY to battle, fight
ing for your cause and my cause, and
when called upon to back those boys
with your means do not hesitate to
give of that means as lavishly az they
are giving of their blood.

The people of Davenport have the
right system for handling disloyal in
dviduals. A man named Kaylor was
warned to keep away from Davenport
owing to his proGerman sentiments.
Kaylor failed to heed the warning and
drifted into Davenport one day last
week. A committee of citizens at
once escorted Kaylor to the Lincoln
county line and advised him to keep
a moving. He will probably follow
the advice The man received no
harsh treatment. He was given to
understand that his presence was as
obnoxious as the presence of a skunk,
and that in manner that he could
not fail to understand. That Is the
treatment. that should be handed out
to all enemies of the country. Keep
them moving until they are beyond
