"On this day of remembrance
we recall with pain all sacrifices

Wide gaps have been made

the devastated world. The voice
of humanity, however, still finds
no hearing in the enemy's
camp. As often as we have
spoken words of reconciliation
we have been met with con-
tempt and hatred. The enemy
does not yet want peace. With

again, their mouthpieces declare
that Germany must be annihil-

are slow to admit that they
may be found anywhere else
than under cover when "the
frightfulness" comes along.
Yet they do find American
boys at times coming out into
the open, rashly and unneces-
sarily, to meet the worst they
have to offer. This fighting
spirit often amounts to fool
hardness, and that is how the
Germans classify it, although
more in distress than in anger.
Some of the men from across
the Rhine declare that it is not
only foolhardy. but it violates
the fighting rules since 1914
for a man to face them in the
open when it is their attack.

LLOYD GEORGE AROUSES
IRE Of THE LIBERALS
DO NOT AGREE REGADING
ECONOMIC WAR AGAINST
GERMANY

London, Aug. 2.-Sharp dissent to
the threat of Premier Lloyd George
to use the economic weapon against
Germany after the war, as outlined
in an address by the premier yester-
day, is expressed by the liberal press.
Quoting the phrase "the longer
the war lasts, the sterner must be
the economic terms we impose on
the foe used by Mr.. Lloyd George,
the Chronicle says:
"e Wdoubt very much whether
that is how President Wilson views
the question. 1t is certainly not the
view of American opinion general
ly. Americans attach Importance to
the economic weapon which the al
lies, acting together, could WELD, but
the Americans do not wish it WELD
ed with a vindictive purpose for
any fixed period after the war;"
The Daily News says: at is idle
for Lloyd George or any other
statesman, to maintain that the spir-
it underlying league of nations is
reconcilable with tile spirit under
lying and inspiring the protective
tariff. We must choose one or the
other. 1t is a question OF the policy
of Wilson or the policy of the Paris
resolutions"
Conservative papers, on the other
hand, generally endorse the pre-
mier's address. The Times empha-
sizes the fact that the premier ex-
pressed the hope that an agreement
might be reached on economic, as
well as other problems between
America and England, and cites the
phrase used by President Wilson in
his Mount Vernon address: mo
halfway decision is tolerable."'

With the American Army in
France, July ii. - (Corre-
spondence of The Associated

in a close fight not only has
surprised the enemy, but it has
brought a feeling of dismay
to picked detachments charged
with the duty of driving fear
of the German into the soldiers
from overseas.
1t appears to be a sort of gos-
pei among the Germans that
when they attack for the pur-
pose of spreading terror, after
careful plans and preparations,

low and succumb or surrender
at the scheduled moment. They

proclamation to the German
people, Emperor William says:
-Four years of hard struggle
have passed, full of eternally
memorable deeds. An example
has been given for all time of
what people can do that stand
in the field for a most just cause
and for the maintenance of its
existence.
Gratefully revering the Di-
vine hand which has been CRATE
fully extended over Germany,
we may proudly say we were
not found unworthy in the tre-
mendous task before which =
providence placed us.
IF in the struggle our ma
ton was given leaders capable
of the highest achievements it
has daily proved by fidelity
that it has deserved to have
such leaders. How could the
army front have performed its
tremendous deeds if the entire
labor at home had not been car
ried to the highest measure of
personal performance? Thanks
are due to all who, under dif-
ficult conditions, have Coop
Grated in the tasks set the state
and community, and especially
to our faithful unwayering Of
ficials. Thanks are due like
wise to the countrymen and
townsmen and also the women

much falls.

EXPEDITION INTO

AND j. s. ASSURED
ENTENTE ALLIES INCLUDED.
TROOPS ALREADY CEN
TERED IN CHINA

Washington, August 2.-Joint ac-
ton between Japan, the entente
powers and America, in Siberia is
assured.
Japan has found acceptable the
American proposal. which primari-
ly looks to the aid of the Czecho-
Slovaks, now operating in Siberia,
and after exchanges between Toxic
and Washington. which have cleared
up auu doubtful points and removed
any possibility of future misunder-
standing, a compett agreement has
been reached. The plan of operation
will be put into execution at once.
Soon after it had been learned
that Japan had accepted the Amer
lean proposal, President Wilson
walked to the state, war. and navy
building where he conferred for half
IN hour with Acting Secretary Polk
and Secretary Baker in the war sec
retary's office.
An Earnest Conversation
The president and Mr.. Polk left
the office together and as they
walked alon gthe corridor, had a
very serious conversation which was
continued for five minutes in front
of Mr.. Polk's office before the
president returned to the White
House.
Last week when it appeared that
n al, 1,.
reached on the basis OF the original
American proposal, intimations were
given i nofficial quarters that the
president was soon to issue a state
ment explaining the plans Of the
United States for participation in
the expedition to give military aid
to Russia. IL also was understood
that the statement would make clear
that the United States has only un-
selfish motives. and intends to stand
firmly beside the Russian people in
their fight for democracy.
After the japanese government
found it necessary to call upon the
state department for explanation of
some features of the American pro-
posal, the statement was withheld.
Presumabl, now that a satisfactory
understanding has been reached the
statement will be issued.
Seal of Confidence.
Meanwhile, the seal OF confidence
remains unbroken and it is the de-
sire OF officials that there shall be
no speculation in the press that
might prove embarrassing.
Consequently all that it is possible
now to say is that in the beginning.

Although there is no evil

unnecessary American losses
are attributable to this lack of
temerity-losses that will di-

AUDIENCE CHEERS
JUDGE CHAMPION
CANDIDATE GIVES CLEAN
CUT ADDRESS-SEVERAL
OTHER SPEAKERS

A large and apreciative audience
cheered Thos. w. Champion when
he arose to speak at Convention
Hall last night. There were a num-
Der of candidates for county Of
fees on the stage with him.
Col. Graves Leeper presided and
introduced the speakers. ID. S.
Hoover, candidate for representa-
tive, was the first speaker and was
followed by G.. w. ("Uncle Bud
Young. They spoke briefly, when
Colonel Leeper introduced Judge
Champion. 1t was really his meet
ing, it had been advertised for him.
but he had invited other candidates
to be present.
Judge Champion delivered an ad-
dress that was freely applauded. He
began by saying that the three fun
damental principles of good govern
ment were: First the home, second
the school, and, third, the church.
Paying tribute to each, he reviewed
the history OF former republics and
showed wherein they failed, and
where this republic had maintained
through real devotion OF its citizen
ship to these three principles.
The speaker cited cases where the
Legislative, judicial and executiv de-
partments have failed by rason of
the failure of the people to give to
them that support prompted by the
higher qualities of citizenship, and
showedthat good government de-
mands the man best fitted for the
position in which he is TO serve.
No Adverse Criticism
Throughout his entire speech,
Judge Champion made no adverse
criticism of any person. He said, and
said it again. that if he was not big
enough to conduct campaign
without indulging in charges of cor
ruption, and slandering and ridicul
ing Others. he was not big enough to
be district Judge. He said that it was
not his intention TO create discord
and strife among the people; neither
was it his belief that any candidate
should seek to array class against
class. He referred to the many
speeches he has made in the course
of his campaign and said he was
glad to know from reports that were
reaching him that his words had
tended to unity rather than discord.
He paid a tribute to President
Wilson, to the thousands of capa-
bic men and women engaged in the
work of winning the war and to the
millions Of young men who are prov
ing their devotion to their country
BY going to war in defense OF those
