The following extract from an or
der read to Company D, State Guard,
by Captain Barnes at a recent drill
is of general interest to the town:
1.-The strength added to the com
pany by the considerable number of
recruits enlisted last spring, is be-
ing largely offset by losses in the
ranks chiefly caused by men entering
the National service. This company
has already sent many men to the
front, and is ready to send more when
ever they are called for; but it is
incumbent on every one of the men
remaining in the company tou Sc his
utmost effort to secure recruits to
supply these losses. The importance
of the service performed by the State
Guard has been recognized repeatedly
by the National and State govern
ments. 1t is impossible to say how
much disorder and disturbance have
been prevented by the organization
of the Guard, and by It's continuance
| as drilled and efficient body of state
| troops; but there is no question that
the amount is considerable. Service
in the State Guard furnishes an OPP
| portunity for military service Of real
| Importance to the state and nation
| by many whose age, physical condition
or family circumstances make 1t i'm
possible or improper for them to en-
| list at this time for foreign service.
| The record of this company since its
organization is one in which every
member is entitled to take satisfac-
ton, and it should be the earnest en-
| deavor of each one to see that the
standards of strength and efficiency
| heretofore established are not allow
ed to fall off by reason Of the losses
in membership which we are facing,
but rather are raised still higher
| through the united effort of the whole
membership.
Every man and boy in the town
whose age is between IT and so, the
limits for enlistment set by the Tegu-
lations, ought to ask himself whether
| it is not his duty to apply for enlist
ment in the local company. The
maintaining of full company in a
town as small as Redding has been
one striking proof among others of
the towns patriotism and earnestness
in furthering all war time activities.
Doubtless there are many in the ranks
| who would not think of expanding
the time and effort involved in SER
vice in an ordinary National Guard
or Militia company in time of peace.
This however is not a time of peace.
The men who made up the former
National Guard are now shedding
! their blood and adding luster to the

organized at the outbreak of the war
in response to Governor Holcombis
call. These busy or tired men have
said to themselves that since it was
impossible for them to enter the reg
ular army for foreign service, they
could and would do what was not ind
possible for them, even if it involved
some small extra effort and sacrifice
of time; that is they would enlist
and serve in the local company Of
the State Guard and SO do their part
to give the State a trained and eff
cient military force for its protec-
ton during this critical time. The
men who have done this are entitled
to high commentator. The earnest
ness with which they have taken hold
of the work have led to the develop
ment of a company in which the town
repeatedly has had occasion to take
pride and which has received the
praise of observers from other places.
The strength of the company has
been drained and is being constantly
further drained by the loss of men
duty to enter the national service or
whose business takes them away from
the town. There are many men IN
town who can step forward to take
the places in the State Guard COM
pany of the men who have left and
are leaving it. 1t is a small measure
of service compared to that offered
by the men who are leaving it to
Join the national forces Any man
who feels a desire to perform this
war time service is urged to commune
icate with some member of the re-
cruIting committee of Company D.
The chairman OF this committee is
Lieut.. Charles H. Ward and other
members are Sergeants E. P. Sanford,
M. H. Burr and H. Sanford Osborn,
Privates ]. B. Sanford and R. V FIe-
wellyn.
Any man who is likely to be called
to service in the National Army here
after, will find it much to his advan-
tage to secure some preliminary trata-
ing in the State Guard company. Such
training will put him in much bet
ter position either to serve efficient
ly as private or to secure early pro-
motion than if he should go to the
service without any training.

FEAR AROUSED
BY Low MORALE
IN GERMANY

Amsterdam, Aug. 16-(Corres-
porde2ce Of The Associated Press)-l
The moral determination of the Ger
man nation in consequence OF war
time trials is greatly troubling clear
minded observers Of the Fatherland.
The Lutheran Synod of Berlin the
other day called special meeting to
discuss how to deal with the absolute
ways of the thousands of young NUM-
ton workers, male and female, who
habitually squandep their high kages
in riotous living and immortality. 1t
was agreed that most of the youth of
the country seemed to be entirely be-
yond control.
Much has alFeady been written
about the unsafety of the public
streets, and the general calIous indif
ference to the sufferings Of others.
This seems to- apply to the whole of
Germany.
Every mans hand seems to be
against his neighbor," the Cologne
Gazette despairingly exclaims, and
devotes a whole article to the intense
if latent anger Of the populace at the
eXtortionS to which 1t 3 subjected by
the INSCRIPTIONS methods of trades
men, who, in their turn are made the
victims Of deficient government con-
troll and the usurious practices Of
producers.
Popular discomfort is famed by
| announcements of extravagant profits
such as those made by a meat fra
which supplies the army. 1t oper-
ated with a capital of a million marks
and in one year netted a profit of
| 722,638 marks.
Sarcastic comment abounds in re-
spect of the newly rich who faunt
| their recently acquired wealth in thu
| faces of their less-favored fellow citi-
Zons. The vulgarian who at a res
| taurant calls for three times a por-
ton of whatever is most expensive" is
a standing type.
| Another feature s the phenomenal
demand for real estate by war prof
iteers whose aim is to become lord
of a manor" The German Tages-
zeitung the other day contained no
fewer than 25 advertisements for
country estates wanted at once, from
1000 to $500 acres, price no object,
although land has risen to double.
and sometimes treble the value of
pre-war times.
All these things serve to embitter
the helpless poorer classes to a degree
the danger of which has not escaped
the attention of the powers that be, as
witness recent arrangements made at
Munster, Westphalia, where the ser
vice of the clergy has been enlisted by
the official war food department to
keeping down the growing popular dis
content over the food difficulties.
Even the Rhenish Westphalian Ga
zette, which gives publicity to this In
teresting piece of news, expresses the
fear that the last few months proceed
ing the harvest will be an exceedingly
trying time, and for this reason the
war food department wishes to remain
in constant touch with the minor
clergy, so as to have the benefit OF
their observation among the people.
With reference to this, the socialis-
tic Vorwaerts prophetically exclaims
after the war there will be only two
camps-war profteers and out-and-
out socialists"

SELL STAMPS TO
PLACE STAR IN
COUNTRY'S FLAG
Unique Demonstration Is
Planned to Increase Inter
esJ in War Stamp Sales.

A most interesting patriotic demon
etration has been planned by the Ma
Sional War Savings committee. some
time in September an American flag
will be made in the Betsy Ross house,
Philadelphia, by women of Revolu-
tionary ancestry aided by other
women representing our allen popu-
lation now mingling in this great
democracy of ours, The blue field In
the corner of the nag will be left
without stars. In October this flag
will be sent to Boston and will be
there unfurled at Concord Bridge
near the statue of the Minute Men,
A girl from the Concord High school
will sew a star in the corner Of the
flag.
The flag will then be carried from
town to town by boy runners in relay
making a triumphal march from Bos-
ton to Washington where it will be
handed over to President Wilson or
some other representative Of national
war work, Forty-eight High schools
along the route will be visited by the
flag, and at each school a star will
be fastened in the corner Of the flag.
A certain limit date will be set for
each school, and by that date specl-
fed number of War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps shall have been
credited to that school, it may be in
dicated by silver star in the flag, or
If certain maximum limit shall have
been reached by that school, a gold
star may be placed in the flag to rep
resent that school. This most excel
lent plan will help greatly in arous-
ing a patriotic fervor among the
pupils of the various high schools and
in awakening a new sentiment for
the heroes and heroines of our own
American history.

nearly resulting in one drowning IA

who is spending the summer with
