HOME GUARDS
SERVE IN ARMY
SUBJECT TO CALL BY WAR DE-
PARTMENT TO GO ANYWHERE
TO FIGHT
UNDER LAWS OF MILITIA
THIS MAY MEAN OVERHAULING OF
LIST ORIGINALLY MADE UP
FOR MOSCOW

Word reached Moscow Monday to the
jutant general for Idaho, would be in
this city next week in connection with
the proposal to establish a unit of
the home guard battalion in Moscow
A decidedly interesting development
of the proposition to organize this
branch of the military service is the
belated information that the home
guard is to be in reality unit of the
militia, that enlistment is for six years
and that the troop is subject to call for
duty anywhere.
This is the information that comes
from Lewiston. There are 1S2 names
were subscribed to the roll under the
original understanding. But when it
was learned that the home guard was
to be organized under the militia laws;
oath; that they are to be subject to
three years active service with the
guards and three years on the reserve
list; and that the president could call
the home guards into the regular army
for service anywhere the war depart
ment cared to send it-then the Lew
iston list underwent a complete over
hauling.
1t is presumed that something of the
kind will take place in Moscow when
this later information is laid before the
100 men who first signed the enlist
ment roll. Nothing definite is ex-
pected to be done in the matter of To-
eating the north Idaho companies un-
til Adjutant General Moody visits the
different cities and looks the ground
over.

THINGS A MOSCOW BOY SAW ON CRUISE
IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN WATERS;
GREAT WELCOME FOR STARS AND STRIPES

Diego, Cal, but did get slight cold at
| Buenos Aires last July. 1t was aw-
fully cold and rainy the entire time
we were there. Since the censor ship
regulations permits us to write of a
part Of our cruise, l will write you
all about it-that is, as much as is al
lowed In my letter to Irene | got as
far as Panama, so will start from
there, as l know you all read the
letters.
We left Panama May 28 at 80 a. m.
and started through the canal. No
work was done that day; everybody
was on deck looking at the sights. The
first locks are about a mile from the
entrance. Being in the first locks the
gates were closed and we began to
rise. Then the gates ahead of US
were opened where we again rose to
a higher level Then the gates were
opened again, and we were on our way,
Soon we came to the Pedro locks, there
we were taken up to higher level.
Shortly after dinner we came to the
great Culebra cut. This was the
grandest scene, and then into Gatim
Lake. After passing through the lake
we came to Gatim locks, these are the
largest Of the three. At the locks we
were lowered three times. From here
it is only a short distance to Colon.
The entire trip through the canal,
which is 49 miles long, is very pretty.
The green tropical plants and the
queer little huts .of the natives made
it one of the prettiest scenes during
my cruise.
We got to Colon at-4 p. m. where
we coaled ship all night and finished
at o'clock in the morning. At noon,
the 10Th, we left Colon, arriving at
Bahia, Brazil, June 14th. But before
goine any further l must tell you of
King Neptune's visit.
BOYS Cross the Line
We crossed the Line (Equator) on
June 10th, at 80 a. m. The
day before everything was gotten
ready. A stage was built on the fore

BUSINESS MEN
ON WAR SAVINGS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN
DORSES KNIGHTS OF COLUM-
BUS DRIVE
EVERY MAN A BUDGET
DIR. LINDLEY ADVOCATES RIGID
SAVING AND REASONABLE
GIVING

Moscow Chamber of Commerce took
strong ground at its luncheon today
for the purchase of war-savings GER
tificates and unanimously indorsed
subscriptions to the Knights of Colum-
bus 100000 war fund drive. w. F.
Morgareidge, Lieut.. Luther-Felker and
Ben E. Bush were appointed com
mittee Of the Chamber to work with
F. D. Hawley in the organization of
the Boy, Scouts in Moscow.
Good Saving Scheme
Postmaster Morgareidge explained
the war-saving certificates and en-
phasized the Importance of investing
in them. He commended Troy for
leading off in this activity having ta-
ken $2500 worth to date. Some OF
the communities in the county have
not yet started. st
DR.. E. H. Lindley speaking on the
same subject strongly urged the ma
king up of an individual budget and
systematic saving The war, he said,
is to be won and paid for by the sa-
wings of the people. 1t is necessary,
the doctor said, that every man de-
termine what he can put into the
drives and to contribute systematical-
ly. We must save and bring our level
of living down to a basis that will
enable all to save and invest. The
speaker favored the principle of the
card index and said he was ready to
stand before any inquisition into his
mode of living and his ability to give.
This, he said, is what all citizens
must face.
B. T. Byrns called attention to the
fact that subscriptions to the Red
Cross. the Y. M. c. A. and similar
agencies were gifts while subscrip-
tions to Liberty Loans and war-sa-
ings certificates were investments.
Knights of Columbus
William E. Lee presented the plan
of the knights of Columbus to raise
s3,OOO,OO0 by subscriptions for their
war activities along lines similar to
those of the Y. M. c. A. President G.
J. Hugo and DR.. 3. H. Lindley in
dorsed the proposition, and on motion
Of Max W. Griffith, seconded by B. T.
Byrns, the chamber voted it's indorse-
ment unanimously.

Walter c. Ebel, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles F. Ebel of Moscow, who is
now gunner's mate on the U. S. G.
Frederick has written series of let
cidedly interesting telling of his eX-
periences in voyage from San Diego,
down the coast, through the Panama
canal and down the east coast of South
America. Especially significant at
this time is the royal welcome ac-
corded the American boys at such
| places as Rio Janerio, Montevidio and
Beunos Aires.
The main portions of the letters
follow:
From now on I will be able to write
something about my South American
cruise and from time to time send
you some pictures of the different
towns visited The censor will now
pass letters of all things about the
first few months of cruising and so
I'll start from the beginning and tell
you little in each letter, for l cannot
make them too long.
We left San Diego, Cal, May 7th
and went down to San Jose, Guata-
malo, arriving there May 18th, stop
ping there four days, during which
time we got no liberty, but had fishing
parties and other sports. Leaving
there May 18th and arriving at Pan
anna, May 20, where we tied up along
side of the dock. Here l had my first
view of part of the canal. Only the
entrance can be seen from here.
Panama is a very nice city. The
buildings are very low and the streets
very narrow. To us this seems very
queer, being used to the tall buildings
and wide streets in the states. And
then we could not understand the Ian
guage, it being Spanish. Their money
is worth less than ours. For one dol
lar of our money you get two of theirs.
The next city is Balboa, the prettiest
Of the two. Here we had nice time
quite a few Americans live here. Jus.
a few days before we left the citizens
of Balboa gave an open-air reception
for us, everybody enjoying the dane
ing. The climate is very warm, but
was not. as hot as expected to find
it.

POLITICS AND PATRIOTISM.

One Of the main arguments used
against the organization among the
FARMERS for political purposes and
their donation of SIG dollars each for
use In extending their propaganda
was that 1t was unpatriotic tc indulge
IN such work while the war is on and
demands the full attention of eyery.
body. This was the stock argument
when all others failed.
Now it develops that Will N, HAYS.
National Republican chairman, on
May II addressed fifteen hundred let
tiers to fifteen hundred prominent citi.
zens. which letter contained the fol-
lowing sentences:
Il regard it as matter of the great
est national concern that the brains
and heart of the Republican party be
brought into action in large way, to
the END that we may win the war now,
secure peace by victory and not by
compromise bargaining, and prepare
now In sane manner for reconstruct
ton. We are as unprepared for peace
as we were for war. The problems
ahead are Unreasonable in magni-
tude and completely. Our duty in the
premises seems clear"
Accompanying the letter from which
the above is an extract, was another
letter of similar tenor from Fred w.
Upham, the National Republican
Treasurer, which closed with the fol.
lowing appeal.
This committee is proceeding to de-
Velop the organization along the larg-
est and most patriotic lines and we
want your full cooperation and SYM
pathy in this regard. For this work
we need funds and at once, in order
that it may go forward effectively
and promptly. We are asking num-
Der of persons like yourself, with same
interest in the Republican party and
the country, to give one thousand dol
lars each. Will you not make such
contribution for this purpose, and send
check to the Committee at our Wash
ingtOn Officer"
There is little need for any COM
ment. Willmar Tribune readers are
intelligent enough to draw their own
conclusions, when they have the facts. |
When it seems necessary and patriotic !
for those who are able to give 81, 1000 |
each to get together and prepare for |
political action, during war times,
why should the common people be |
abused for harboring the same be-
lief and pooling their smaller contri- |
buttons for the purpose of securing
a Reconstruction" along more demo-
cratic lines?
