HOPES ALL WILL PARTICIPATE
AMERICANS MAKE ALL PLANS

The plan involves large question Of organization, finance and operation, and the American army post will as- sume responsibility in all matters of this kind. The actual operating unit probably will be a games committee whose personnel will be selected by the chief athletic officer of the American expeditionary force and the commit tee will be the responsible agency and the final authority on all matters per taining to the games.
 This committee will ask the various armies each to name two delegates to sit as members of an advisory coun- cil
 The only cost to the allied armies participating will be that involved in training, transporting, equipping and rationing their own competing athletes. These expenses, it is understood, each army prefers to carry. Individual med als already have been provided for and will be of artistic merit with symbolic designs. It is probable that team trophies also will be presented. /

Dr. Edmonds Speaks on
 "The Lily and the Cedar

The Lily and the Cedar, was the subject of the morning service at the Temple Emanu-El, when Dr. H. M. Ed monds, pastor of the Independent Pres byterian church, preached a sermon or unusual strength and beauty to large congregation. What are the problems in this business of giving our best to God?,, said Dr. Edmonds Tn part. ''What is the destination. what is the purpose :? Is there sufficient reason beyond for our best endeavor? It used to be thought and said that the chief aim of man was to glorify God, which seemed to mean to some, Better get through with this sad earthly life and get hence as quick as possible.
 We know that the chief end of man is to be so lovely that the ends of the earth shall be blessed that is why we are here that is our destination and purpose to bless the world by living in it."
 F The well balanced character, according to Dr. Edmonds is both like the lily and the cedat, strength and beauty, dfiVe and grace; one without the other IS badly balanced, there must be power. nlsh and drive. Life and labor are so constructed that one grows in the line of the labor Not too soft for the hard world, but grace in plenty to make only the place in which you live.
 
 LYRIC SERVICE
 The evening service, at the Lyric was largely attended last night. These popu- lar services, so styled because they cater to the men and women without cnurcn affiliation, but are interested in relig- ious matters. A short, plain talk, that reaches the man outside the church. at tractive music by splendid quartet and a violin and piano accompanying old familiar hymns in which the congrega- tion really sings. are features or these downtown services each Sunday night, which are largely attended. Dr. Ed monds spoke on the Making of Man, last night; holding that courage, unsel- fishness, generosity and humility are among the great qualities that go to make a really great man.
 Home and family ties make for the best ground in which unselfishness flourishes; the giving up for others. de- pendent upon you, of those things here tofore essential to your comfort, is dis cipline you need''

 Fifty fellows left this detachment yesterday for transfer to the United States" But so far no men have gone out of the engineering division. and 1t is not likely that any will leave for several weeks. The funniest part is the way the fellows talk about going home. Most of them care to get out of the army. or rather not to have to stand reville more than anything else. The general opinion is that France would not be so bad if it was not for reville. And that is about right, for everything loses it's beauty when one is out in line half awake. half dressed at 6:15. when the sun does not think of coming up until 7;30.

 ARMIES INVITED ID
 B|G OLYMPIC MEET
Americans in France Max ing Plans for Contests in Paris During Summer
 at Their Expense
By Associated Press

Paris, Saturday, January 11.-A man. moth military Olympic meet to be held in Paris in May or June, under the au- spices of the American army for ath- letics from all the allied fighting force is projected in plans announced to- night
 General Pershing, the American com mander-in-chief, who is taking keen interest in the plans, is sending per sonal letter to the commanders -in- chief of the armies of all nations with whom the United States has been associated during the war. inviting the officers and men to participate.
 Twenty-one allied countries will be asked to take part, and it is planned that the games will surpass any other athletic competitor ever conducted In the history of sports. The games will be financed entirely by the American army in cooperation with the welfare agencies now operating with it.
 The French government and the French army have given their approval to. the plan and have promised their hearty cooperation.
 
 General Pershings letter of invita- ton to the French army, which is duplicate of those sent to the com manders of other armies, follows;
 .sThe officers and men of the Amer ican expeditionary forces, being keenly appreciative of the splendid relations $ which exist among those who have .4borne arms in the great common cause and which in the present instance have so aptly developed in such, feeling of mutuaA respect and admiration, are most anuxious to preserve and strengthen this relationship in every --@way possible
 Now that active military operations have ceased, they believe that nothing could be more conducive to this end than to gather in friendly competition on the field of sport representatives of the armies of each of the nations which have so long associated together in the stern struggle for the right.
 HOPES ALL WILL PARTICIPATE Accordingly, they have decided to organize an intera1lied athletic meet ing to be held in the Colombes stadium, Paris, during the month of June, 1919, in which officers and men of all these armies shall be eligible to take part. As commander-inc chief of the American expeditionary forces I have the honor, therefore, to invite. through you, their commander-in-ch chief, the officers and men of the armies of France to partici- pate in the contests and to express the earnest hope that many of them may do so that the ties of the much cherished hope of comradeship which have sprung up from the gallant joint effDrts of our forces on the battlefield may thus be even more closely -ce- mented. Respectfully,
 JOHN J. PERSHING."

IT WAS AN AWFUL SLAUGHTER
VirOqua Ball Team Beats Soldiers
Grove 80 to 10

That game last Sunday, wherein
Viroqua team chewed up Soldiers
Grove to the tune of 81 to 10, reminds
us of the old days when the fats play
ed against the leans and the score ran
i3 to 81 II was an awful slug-fest.
% hits beingcolleeted off three pitchers
put in by the Grove to stem the tide.
Up to the fifth inning it looked like
a ball game. Then Bunny injured his
pitching arm in too ambitious slide
for home. Lad Garin finished the
game, showing up very well. Mean
while our boys brought out the big
club and whaled out z, 6, 6 and 10
runs in the last four innings. Paul
Garin knocked a home run, two bag
gers, a double and a single. Standi-
ford played his first game with the
boys and a fine game he played. Fish
err made a beautiful one hand foul
catch. Catcher Carl Curtis hobbled
through the game with an injured
foot, but it interfered but little with
his good work. A snappy double
play, Bray to Garin to Fisher, was
pulled off in the fourth. r. M. Nye
and Lieutenant Helgeson umpired the
game. A good crowd was in attend
ance.
On Friday, the team plays the coun-
ty all-soldier nine at the celebration;
and goes to Ferryville Sunday.

A Last Sad Farewell

The booze joints, everywhere, did
thriving business on Monday, the mee-
ca for this section Of thirsty ones be-
ing Cashton, and the highways were
lined by pilgrims headed in that di-
rection. At least five of those who
returned "heavily ladened" found re-
pose in the county Jail for the night,
paying fines for the privilege, one a
tax Of $50 and costs for driving an
auto while in a state of intoxication.
What a glorious relief from such
exhibitions ought bone-dry conditions
to bring. Let US hope that such will
be realized.
