.sponded almost unanimously to the
appeal to support the President.
This is the first formal test of the
League Of Nations before a body of
American. voters, and we commend the
result to the thoughtful consideration
of all Republican Senator'S, especially
Philander c. Knox, in whose State the
demonstration took place. Only a
few days ago Senator Knox was asked
by enator Hitchcock to suggest amend
ments to the Constitution of the
League Of Nations, and he refused un-
less he could strike out everything
after, the enacting clause" The Sem
ator from Pennsylvania would sup
port no league unless he could write
its Constitution himself.
The Republican Senators who are
fighting the President on this issue
and seeking to wreck the Peace Con-
ference cannot turn back the clock
of history. They cannot write resolu-
lions that will reverse the verdict Of
the American guns in France. They
cannot undo what. 100000 American
soldiers have helped to do, and the
country will not follow them on the
road to reaction. The American people
are looking forward, not backward,
and they are masters of their own des-
tiny. They have not given 1t into the
hands of any group Of scheming par
tisans and ambitious politicians.

JUNIOR POULTRY CLUB IS OR.
CANNED

Poultry, raising is one, Of the most
Important industries in the, state OF
Iowa. A large part Of the food sup
ply in the homes of our people can be
provided through the poultry bust
ness. The work is interesting and
educational. 1t is the kind of work
that every boy or girl over ten years
Of age can undertake with reasonable
promise of success. Recognizing
these facts the Extension Department
of the State Agricultural College has
made provision to have this work car
ried on in the nature Of Junior Club
Work among the boys and girls of the
state. A Junior Poultry Club is
about to be organized in Manchester
and vicinity under the leadership of
County Supt. w. A. Ottilie. The boys
and girls who are interested in this
work should apply to him at once for
membership cards and information.
The conditions are very simple. Every
member Of the club will procure eth
er one or more brooding hens and a
setting of pure strain eggs OF any de-
sireable breed. He will attend per-
sonally to the setting of the hen and
raising of the chickens. He will be
required to keep record of the work

the State Agriculture College will
come here at an, appointed time to
give talk and full directions for set

At the County Fair there will be a
special exhibit of the poultry raised
under the auspices of the Junior Club
work. 4 A fihsi trophy cup and good
supply OF medals have beenimost gen.
erouslys provided by The First National
Bank OF this city to the boys and girls
who score highest, taking into con-
sideration the scoring Of the poultry
raised, the method employed in hatch
ing and feeding and the completeness
of the records kept. This work
should be most interesting to the
young people of this county. 1t
gives them wholesome employment
during their idle hours and incidently
will provide meat and eggs for the
family table If sufficient care and
labor is expended upon the enterprise.
In order that we may be able to direct
the young people to the proper sourc-
es for supplies of pure strain eggs
we will keep a list of all chicken
fanciers, who notify us, in the Office
If you are interested let US hear from
you.

THE FIRST TEST.

(FrOm the New York WORLDLY
No statement made by President
Wilson in his Metropolitan Opera
House speech has been more sharply
challenged by his Senatorial and
jornalnalisteic critics than this:
"The first thing that l am goin
to tell the people on the other side
of the water is that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the American
people is in favor of the League
of Nations"
Within tweny-four hours after this
speech was made, Pennsylvania. the
State of Senator Knox and Senator
Penrose, gave out dramatic testimony
to the soundness of President Wilson's
opinion.
A special election was held Tues
day in the Twenty-second Congress

The Democratic candidate in Tues

BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME.

Golfers Weekly of the 9Th inst
gives first place to thoughtful re-
view Of conditions surrounding our
soldiers in Europe, and states many
reasons for their immediate return to
America.
"Our soldiers says Mr.. Sullivan,
don't hate the German people, and
don't treat them as If they hated them.
They took Wilson literally VIXEN he
told them that America had no quarrel
with the German. people. They as
sumed that they came over here to
crush the Kaiser, and now that the
Kaiser is as adequately crushed as
anyone needs to ask for, they treat
the German people as normal human
beings. Probably in their easy-going
friendliness our soldiers fall short Of
that dignity, that aloofness, which is
the proper military attitude Of an army
engaged in occupying enemy territory.
Some Of our American officers take
this view. And, as I have, said be-
fore, the French, British and Belgians
feel this decidedly.
THE answer is, let the French,
British and Belgians do the occupying.
Release, our soldiers from this work
and let them come home"
This paper said many times before
it was politically announced by Presi-
dent. Wilson, that Americans had no
quarrel with the German people. but
that 1t did have quarrel with the
Junker government of Germany; that
it considered the German Junkers a
menace to the civilization Of the
present age, and that our own safety
obliged us to help destroy the Kaiser's
government. That America has done,
and her soldiers should return home.

CIVIL WAR IN GERMAN.

CIVIL WAR in GERMANY.
The Germans are now rending each
other with a ruthlessness equal in
some instances to the ruthlessness Of
the Kaiser's soldiers in Belgium and
France
According to an account sworn to
by an escaped soldier, prisoners were
compelled to climb into a wagon where
they were shot down by insurgents.
When the wagon Became full OF bodies
it was taken away and another brought
up. ri
While this was going on Sparticans
brought in sixty detectives captured
during the attack on Lichtenberg
police station. The detectives were
killed with revolver shots between
the eyes at close quarters. Those
who resisted were Held while the
executionist fired. A BolsSleviki
bicycle courier brought in at the
same time was held by the hands
and feet before being shot.

There are likely to be differences,

tional laws Of Germany or the rules
of war.
Such rule would apply to the Off

not to the executioner Of Edith Cavell,
who, it Is pointed out, might have been
technically guilty Of espionage. No
doubt is felt as to the liability to pun
