MAYOR'SILLNESS
HOLDING UP WORK
Municipal Improvements
and Contracts Await Ex-
ecutive's Return
DOCTOR ORDERS REST

Although Mayor Smith has been keep
ing in touch with municipal affairs
Through bedside conferences with his
brother and secretary, his illness has re-
suited in a slowing down of the improve
ment campaign he started before being
attacked with inhammatory rheu-
matism.
Some Of his department heads are
reluctant to proceed with contracts or to
force contractors already at work to
get busy" This condition is noticeable
In the Department OF Public Works,
where a number of contracts are not
being pushed with the vigor that might
result from the Mayor being on the job.
Cabinet conferences being abandoned,
no general discussion of new work has
been, possible for weeks past. This con-
dition is apt TO continue for some weeks
to come, as the Mayors physician has
prescribed absolute rest and quiet. It
was the breach OF these instructions that
have to some extent delayed his re-
covery.
In discussing the Mayors anxiety TO
his physician, said THE Mayor
Is not an easy patient, for he is so i'm
petuous that he wants to get out of bed.
He had a number of visitors recently
and 7 am afraid they have interfered
with his rest. Rest he must have, for
that is the best means Of avoiding heart
complications. I have ordered him to
bed and to see no one"
When but little improved the Mayor
insisted ! upon seeing the measures
passed recently by Councils and upon
going over all contracts awaiting his
signature. Some days ago he tstarted
approving patches of minor dntracts
and this early interjection of bisiness
! his physicians fear, is having "a bad
effect upon him.
So many rumors have gone abroad as
< to the Mayors illness that many city
employees don't know what to think. Be-
cause Of this fact many bureaus are
barely marking ;ime." One official, dis
cussing the Mayors case today, said:
"The Mayor seems to be terribly run
down, and it is just possible that he will
have to take a long rest and leave active
work for others. I would not be sur
prised IL he were forced to trust to his
directors during the greater part of the
remainder of his term"

CALL IS ISSUED FOR VOLUNTEER HELPERS.

Edward F. Shumway, musical organizer of the war camp community service has issued call for volunteer helpers in the work being carried on by this organi- zation He urges all persons who sing, play or read to register with him at headquarters, as he has many calls to arrange programmes for various occa- sions. The latest call comes from Do cena- and according to MT. Shumway the war camp community service will fur nish programme for a big celebration at Docena in honor of the Fourth of July and all men who have returned from service.
 The following letter has been received at headquarters from Newton D. Baker, secretary of war:
 Tt has given me considerable concern to learn that numbers of the volunteer workers assisting the war camp commit nifty service and other organizations en- gagged in welfare work are not only re- laxing their efforts, but in some instances are discontinuing their work altogether
 ''In calling this to your attention, per init me to express to you the sincere appreciation of the war department Of the work of the war camp community service. The commission on training camp activities has made a careful survey of your activities, and it's reports are most gratifying. A noteworthy feature com nected with the work of the welfare or ganizations and deserving of the highest commendation is the assistance rendered by thousands of volunteer workers, both men and women,> who give their services prompted only by the desire to serve their country and the men who gave the serv- ice they wished to give but could not.
 "A feeling prevails that there is no longer a necessity for continuing this vol unteer work, and to correct this impress sion is the task I am suggesting to you. l want you to bring home the realization that this work is not finished and that the war department desires it to continue with renewed effort and spirit if it as within their power to do so without too great a personal sacrifice.
 Tt is not possible for me to convey to you the great value of this work to the morale of the men in and out of the ser vice. Our soldiers will not forget the generous work of those who have met trains at all hours with smiles, with hot coffee and warm food, and who have opened their homes, clubs, hotels, provid- ed quarters, and have done thousands of other things for the comfort of the men in uniform"

OF BONUS FOR SOLDIERS

Seniors Sullivan Of Washington,
Wold of Norman and Representative
Wilkinson of Washington, are the
sponsors of a new soldier bonus bill
which has made its appearance be-
fore the legislature at st. Paul.
It appropriates $10,000,000, to be-
come available at the rate Of $780,
900 a year. Strictly, the bill does not
grant a bonus, but makes 1t possible
for World war fighters to easily bor-
row from the huge fund II 1t appears
to the three trustees Of the fund that
they need such aid. The trustees or
commissioners are to be named by
the governor.
A conference between house and
senate will probably be held Monday
to reconcile their differences over
soldir aid legislation. 1t appears i'm
probable that the senate will pass the
$4,500,O00 bill passed by the house.

the measure authorizes the issue GER

YOUNG AMERICA PROVED
IT'S CITIZENSHIP IN WAR

With the tremendous immediate
problems Of war out of the way the
mind finds time and inclination for
study of many aspects Of the conflict
that could not be carefully con-
sidered by. the average American
while the holocaust was still In pro-
gress. What was the attitude Of
E mind Of the American child toward
the struggle? Is the question dealt
with by writer in the May number
OF the Red Cross Magazine.
ITO the glory Of the American
teacher this writer finds, there was
very perceptible change in school
conditions between the opening Of
the war and the time the United
States entered 1t. The broadening
process, the changing viewpoint. the
expanding interest were already in
evidence. Rejecting the very spirit
of the American people and Ameri-
can life, the wise teacher had devel-
oped among her charges higher ideals
Of fair play and honest treatment
which made them look askance at
things that were happening. AS the
moral factors involved in the war
situation became more concrete. they
the school mind. The children were
reading the news; they were hearing
and engaging in discussion; they
were even then casting off the tradi-
tional moose. The child mind was
developing strength--a strength that
its elders had never suspected. 1t
was learning to walk alone.
"The school unquestionably play
ed its part. but in the main this
development was the natural reac-
ton OF the child to situations and
events which were constantly taking
shape before his eyes. That reaction
came about simply because the
American school child is at bottom a
good. wholesome fair-minded Ameri-
can citizen. Let nobody mistake
This child today Is citizen can
not see any dividing line between the
time when a child is not a citizen
and when he is and familiarity with
the work and thought of school
children during this war has con-
firmed me in this belief"
