A NOBLE SERVICE FOF. BOYS

According to President Frank
S., Kedzie, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, mo more noble
use of a boys summer vacation
can be found than in service with
the United States Boys Working
Reserve.
THE reserve is not an expert
ment. City boys and country
boys under draft age can do farm
work that has formerly been per-
formed by men. They can en-
able the farmers to increase food
acreage and food production.
ITO these boys l can only give
praise and encouragement. You
are offering a great service to
your country. The work will be
hard, the hours long, vacation
days few, but SO are those OF
your older brothers in the trench
es. You must help win the war,
learn quickly and work patiently
and hard.
"And you boys in the towns
and cities should remember this:
All Of you cannot carry rifles, but
all of you can make sacrifices,
even though those may not be as
great as those being made by our
boys abroad. You can serv e
here at home-our farmers need
you to help produce the, food our
soldiers and allies must have.
No badge you can wear is more
honorable than that which signi-
fies that you have enlisted in the
Boys Working Reserve.
"Our motto should be team.
work, using what we have and
making the most of it, and re-
membering the while, that pro-
duction of food must not dimin.

HE SAID IT

No man since the war has
started has said more in fewer
words than District Attorney
Fickert of San Francisco. when
he said: Making the world safe
for Mooney and his ilk will not
make it safe for democracy. "
Democracy is not safe where an
anarchist is privileged to blow up
men, women and children in a
patriotic parade because he does
not happen tolikeparades. Gold

NO PEACE THIS YEAR

Extracts from Chautauqut
address by Capt. J. M. De Beau
fort, Belgian army.
A peace this year could only be
a German peace, and we car
never have that.
We can not win this war by
starving Germany or by waiting
for strikes in the Krupp CUR
works. uprisings against the
Kaiser and that sort of thing, fol
they are not going to happen.
We can only win this war by
breaking the German line, driv.
ing the Germans back out OF
France and Belgium, into their
own country and-we must dc
this, too-killing just as many
Germans as we can.
There are not men enough now
in France to break the German
line. 1t cannot be broken until
there are at least four ar five
million American soldiers in
France.
If l were to tell you that the
American boys will be in Berlin
by the end of 1918, there are
some in the audience who would
be foolish enough to applaud me.
If things continue as they are
at present, without interruption,
we may have peace by the end
of 1920-not sooner.
America has not yet realized
the seriousness Of this war;
America fails to appreciate that
it is fighting the greatest military
nation in the world and the best
organized nation in the world.
You are not going to win this
war by doing your Bit" You
are not going to win until every
man, woman ahd child in this
country has done all he or she
can possibly do.
For two and one-half years the
Belgians and the French and the
British kept their eyes westward,
looking for America to come in
in and help. We knew America
was always for the right in the
end and that she would come to
us in the end and we would win,
in the end, with her help.
Gen. Hindenburg said to me
that it mattered little, the killing
of a few women and children in
sinking the Lusitania; that the
life of one German soldier was
worth more to Germany than all

OUR PLEDGE

We Pledge,
To the khaki boys in the uniform
OF Uncle Sam and the unicorn,
And the gallant sons of France;
To Father Woodrow and all the rest
Who guide the ship at our own behest,
To the mothers and wives who have
given their best
For Liberty on the fields of France.
We pledge,
We're alive and strong and we stand
united,
Out from the fog where once benighted,
We saw not the bends advance.
Now-we'll find the dens where trea.
sons lurk,
Wen hound the carvens who try to
shirk,
And we'll hang the traitor that stops
the work
For the boys who have gone to
France.
We Pledge that.
Wen make the guns that are needed
sore,
And we'll make the ships to take them
Ger
Where the war steeds snort and
prance;
What care we tho the last red cent
May be called to stop the streaming
vent
Where flows the blood of heroes sent
To tn embattled fields of Francel
We Pledge that,
Where the ranks are thinned and the
powder spent
And the war.worn chsriots are battle
rent,
While they stop the foes advance;
There we'll trains of ammunition pour,
And we'll swell the ranks to millions
more,
Till we sweep the tyrants from the
hallowed floor
OF the groaning fields Of France.
We Pledge that,
Wen eat the "subs" you ask US TO,
Wen ration to half on word from
you,
For Liberty and France.
Well wear our clothes till past thread
bare,
Well darn the holes that find the air;
Wen fight, we'll work, we'll give and
dare,
With the boys on the fields of France.

There has arisen in so m e
quarters ain idea that the County
Councils Of Defense, now being
organized are in opposition to
some of the war work already in
progress. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth. The County
Councils will help, not impede.
They will be made centers of
patriotic work, cooperating on
the one side with the State Coun-
Gil and on the other with the
Community Councils, Farm Bu-
reaus, Red Cross sections, etc.
Different counties with differing
industries, will vary the classes
Of work taken up or encouraged,
but all will help in betterment of
production, in stamping out Sc.
dition and in backing up their
men with the colors.

NORWAY GETS
 MORE BITTER
asserted Denmark is Being More Fav- O,ed by the Allies and Is
 Less Neutral

CHRISTIANA, Feb. 5.--Feeling in Norway against America and to less degree against the other Entente AL lies is growing bitter. It is reported here that America demands the stop page of Norwegian exports to Ger many in return for shipments of grain to Norway, but refuses to guarantee or promise Norway any supplies.
 The Norwegians are asking why they should offend Germany by cur tailing supplies at the bequest of Am erica, after all. Reports that Denmark is receiving provisions and other goods from America are received with amazement and some anger. The Nor wegians say it is an open secret that the Danes have fed Germany during the whole period of the war. while the Norwegians claim to be comparatively innocent: Yet, they say. Denmark is favored by America and the Allies and they ask why.
 The Germans are making the most of the opportunity for propaganda.
