All Offered Their Lives and Five
Died for Country on French
BattIefieIdS.

The Ninth Federal Reserve district
boasts the honor of having eight OF its
sons listed among the Hundred BraV-
est" with the American army In
France.
For use in the coming campaign,
the Victory Liberty Loan committee
IN Washington asked General John
Pershing to forward to America the
100 bravest acts performed by his men
during the great struggle. After long
and careful consultation with his board
of generals that decides who is wor-
thy to receive the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross, the Hundred Immortals
were named.
Five of the eight men named from
the Ninth District died in the per-
Torrance of the feat that won them
undying fame in American history
Paying insurance to the relatives OF
these men who thought life cheap
when country and honor were at stake
Is one OF the reasons why the Victory
Liberty Loan must succeed. Comment
ing upon the brilliant achievements OF
the eight men from his district, A. R
Rogers, chairman of the Ninth Dis
trict War Loan organization, said:

The great heart Of Uncle Sam Ii
softened when dealing with the rela-
tives of his soldiers who have made
the great sacrifice.
It Is often said that q big govern
ment has no time for sentiment, but
Uncle Sam has spent millions for SEN
ttment alone.
He has established an Effects Blu
reau that does nothing but see that
the property Of the dead boys gets to
their people. He will spend a thou
sand dollars to get to bereaved moth
er watch or knife or q trinket that
belonged to that dead boy.
In one week in February, twenty
tons Of effects arrived in New York.

fantry He died for his country near
Chateau Thierry in August, 1918. AL
though MORALLY wounded by ma
chine gun bullet In the head at the
village of Cierges, he kept going with
the attacking wave. His words Of en-
couragement and his valor and will
power instilled the men with a spirit
of fearlessness that carried them to
victory. He died within an hour. His
mother, Mrs Minnie Timberman, lives
at Monroe, Mich.
RAY c. DICKOP, of West Bend,
Wis, 1st lieutenant In the 127th. In
fantry, also died In performing his
act of bravery. In the attack on
Fismes In August, 1918, he was fear

WALTER S. SEVALIA, of Brule

And those of US who bought Liberty
Bonds thought we were doing some
thing!" said Chairman Rogers, after
reading the roll of honor above. Those
eight boys offered their lives, while
we at home only offered our money
Five of them died for US; the other
three offered to die. With the thought
/ of these eight immortals uppermost in
our minds, don't see how the Victory
Liberty Loan can fail"

they might perceive the real meaning
of sacrifice. There they could see
what human heroism endured Tor the
liberty of the race here and the wide
world over. Here by night ana Day
in fair weather and foul, fighting tneir
way step by step, waist deep In muo
and mire, chilled to the bone, these
incompatible heroes, these crusaders
in the cause of liberty, fought tnelr
way through inconceivable obstacles
and drove the enemy of the heights
from which the Hun had literally
viewed the Promised Land. Great
God what a moment was that 1or
civilization. And how beyond the
imagination of man to picture human
endurance and courage so everlast-
ingly sublime.
"Is there no obligation upon us to
recompense vicarious suffering ike
that? Do we quite fully appreciate the
sacrifices made by these boys for us
when we talk about discharging our
debt on a commercial basis, In cold
blooded way? / want to be sensible
in dealing with, the Victory Loan; my
own life has been too hard ana TOO
real to even suggest an excess OF emo
ton. But, as the question looks 10
me, we should not approach 1t IN
cold blood. We have right to IN
woke the patriotism Of the people, and
today it takes higher type OF pa
triotism to serve the nation than was
required in the delirium of war upon

no measure disappoint the expecta-
ton of those who set high estimate

ton.

"rrhere are yet 100000 American
boys in France and Germany who must
be maintained in comfort and brought
home in safety and provided with en-

burg: That from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion, that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain"
Here are the men whose names will
be craven deep on the pages of Amer
ican history through all the ages:
WILLIAM R. PECK, of Minneapolis,
Sergeant in sc" company, 354th. In

vile, France in Nov. 1918 when he

saved the officers life but Peck was
Tiddled with bullets. His death was
instantaneous. He left a wife and a
baby that he never saw. They live

THEODORE PETERSON, OF Mime
apolis, Sergeant in the medical detach-
ment of the famous 151st. Field Artil-
Iery. Although MORALLY wounded near
Peronne, France In March, 1918 and
too weak to aid his comrades he di-

refused aid himself until all others
were cared for. Dying, he directed the
men in afixing their gas masks al
though suffering terribly. He died
shortly after reaching the hospital He

LOUIS CUKELA, of Minneapolis

DESTROYED Builders Bills.

Nobody ever will know how much
the great palace of Versailles cost
France under the reign of its builder,
Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared
when he received the bills, because he
aad heard good deal about some dis
turbers who were whispering that even
a king had no right to spend so much
money for palace to house his friends
when the nation over which he ruled
was starving. So Louis did what many
a purchaser of expensive hats has
done.since-tore up the bills and burn
ed them before anybody could look
them over.

Good Advice.

If you're good citizen you will be
more concerned about your contribu-
ton to the world than you will be
about what the world thinks about it.
It's the fellow who can forget what
the world may think, in the desire to
give the world the best, who really de-
serves praise. Forget the unkind
words and dismiss the sighting acts
of people about you Censor all that
you hear for the good that's in it and
profit by the result. You will be far
more comfortable and the world win
hear from you.

Western Samoa.

German Samoa or Western Samoa,
as it is called since September, 1914.
when British occupation took place,
comprises the islands of Savaii and
Opolu with the town of Apia as the
head Of the political and commercial
life. The islands are the remains OF
semisubmerged volcanic range, heav-
lily clothed with tropical verdure which
to great extent prohibits agriculture
or farming; hence the principal indus
tries are the planting Of coconuts,
cacao and rubber.

u. S. WAS FAR BEHIND
IN WAR EXPENDITURES
Enllghtenlnq information From re
ures Computed by War
Department.

Those who believe that the United
prosecution of the war than any OF
the other allies, may CLEAN some en-
tightening information from figures re-
Gently compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
These figures show that In compari-
son with Great Britain, for example,
this country was far behind in total
expended
The latest available statistics show
that Great Britain's war bill totalled
$37, 100000, in comparison with
$1S,481, 100000 for the United States.
Criticism has been heard that this
country loaned Great Britain, France
and others Of the allies all the money
they spent. The Treasury figures also
disprove this statement. Our total
loans to the Allies were $7,S76, 900, 900
and Great Britain lent $500, o0o. 900.
Even France, generally considered
a poor war spender, devoted more to
winning the war than did America
with total of $27, 0o0. 0o0,0 Russia
was right behind us with $4,000, 000,-
600.
Germany was second only to Great
Britain in paying for the four years
Of war for the Berlin government
poured out $86,50o, 00o, 900 in a vain At,
tempt to get her place in the sun. The
other Teutonic allies added $23, ooo,-
100000, giving the Central Empires q

Everything that happens to us leaves
some trace behind, writes a philoso-
pher. Everything contributes imper-
ceptibly to make us what we are. Yet
If is often dangerous to take strict
account of it. For either we grow
proud and negligent or downcast ana
dispirited; and both are equally inJuri-
Gus in their consequences. The surest

Yes, Elite, it is perfectly proper
for a gentleman to remove his hat on
entering house. A great many hus-

rather late. This, of course, is con-

France is large, and SO real is the
work, that people come with glasses
and pick out the faces of their
friends in the background.
Then there was Notre Dame. Ma
poleon was crowned Emperor of
France in Notre Dame. 1t was built
in 1882, and on Sunday, April 6, 1918,
| was there at a service. Near by
is the church of La Sainte Chapelle
built by Saint Louis to shelter a
nail and a piece of the Holy Cross,
and also some thorns from the Crown
of rhons that was on the Head of
Christ.
SO many things too that one did

though from what | have written,
what a wonderful time | had. The
