A WAR PRAYER

~ HuHlt ] bls= Ill
By James Waterman Wise of
the Vlgilantes.
Father, we beseech thee
Guard our boys tonight.
Keep, we pray, their footsteps
On the paths of right.
We have sent them gladly,
For the fight is just,
Yea, their cause is holy,
Glorious their trust.
Hold their fates, o Father,
In thy wondrous hand,
Bring them back, if may be,
Back to grace our land.
For we loved them dearly
But our path was clear;
Honor babe us send them,
Father, be thou near!
But if they must leave us,
If 1t be thy will,
Father, we implore thee,
Guide and guard them still.

When the American soldiers
turned the tide of battle and
headed the Huns away from
Paris, the battle-cry that arose
from their lips as they rushed
forward with fixed bayonets,
was "Lusitania. !" The Austria
liam forces supporting the
Americans on the flank, say
the Germans heard that cry
and became terrorized. That
cry is call to vengeance by
American soldiers, for the
ruthless Huns who sent hun
dreds of innocent women and
children to an untimely grave.

the ideals and sentiments OIL
their nelghbors IS responsible
1or many of the difficulties IN
cooperation. Some refuse To
take part III cooperative work
designed TO benefit the neigh
Dorhood because their neigh
Uors also have part in this
work. In other words it is jeal-
ousy and 5eltishneSs that pre-
vents some people from taking
part in good work for commun-
lty building. A community
where many OF these people
live is seldom prosperous or de-
sirous for newcomers to seek.
State and county pride
should be strong enough to en-
able the majority Of the people
to get together on matters af-
fecting the welfare of the COM
munity. Men should place their
state, county and neighborhood
above political differences and
political intrigue; they should
be jealous of the reputation of
their state and the example set
before the young men of the
country.

say a word for the state that

The state needs more loyal, pa

Every citizen should be loyal
to his state. He should be 10y

does, as there are always men
in government and in private
affairs that disregard the eth

Yet, it is possible and highly
desirable for honorable, up

A new feature of sport was
introduced in the camp the
other day when Casual co. "A,

to the Remount Station for a
half dozen of their widest

A trade test school has been
installed at Camp Pike where
every man who has registered
as having a special trade is eX-
amined carefully as to his eX-
perience and qualifications. The
government wants to know
where the trade specialists of
the army are located, and the
records will be so handled that
it can at any time call for sol
diers who qualified for any
line of work that may be need
ed. The new men are eXamln-
ed as they come into camp and
the old ones with trades are
being re-examined according
to the new plans.

[i] SECOND E} [.3[l WAR FUND DRIVE lQ IS NOW ON!
No Subscription Money Retained
 by Local Chapter

To correct wrong impression created by telegrams from the Red Cross of Seattle, pub- lished in last weeks issue, stating that 25 per cent. of the subscriptions on the present drive be retained by the local chapter, be ad- vised that the stand this chapter has taken in the past still holds. No part of any sub- scriptions have or shall be held here. AL though in the past we have been advised of a credit on account of remittances as our por- tion, quick telegram righted this, and same was applied as subscription from this chap ter. So shall it be always as long as lditarod chapter is in existence.
 Two important changes to the general rule have been made by this chapter First, as above, no portions of subscriptions will be held to defray hapter expenses; second, total subscriptions to be treated as re-. stricted fund to relieve suffering and assist at the front We can take care of expenses if any, from other available funds. 1t is also healthy to know that 25 or 30 per cent of our subscriptions will not be withheld at national headquarters for home funds in the United States.
