w- TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1917 THE EEVTETf : KEHE GERMAN LOAN PLEA PLAYED ON FEARS Aooeals For War Funds Pictur- ed Allied Atrocities. THE NEWS IN BRIEF FORM 8INCE OUR LAST ISSUE VICTORIES ENLARGED UPON Countymen In Service Below are the names of some of the Ute Indians on their reservations country Is greater than love of ease: near Ignacio, Col., refused to register Raymond Stewart, Abner Stewart, under the selective draft act and spent Rufus Comer, Jesie Williams, Paul most of the day dancing war and "bear" danotes, In native costumes In Virgina one (man was arrested for cursing the President and another was arrested for registering twice. The latter .evidently thought It was an election and he was probably fol lowing his custom of voting twice. Three men were shot in a saloon fight in Detroit, rasulting from an ar gument over the selective draft. Over 100 men participated in the struggle which took place after two men had come to blows. Thb saloon was wreck ed. All involved were foreigners. E. L. Fulcher, said to be a member of the Farmers' and Laborers' Pro tective Association of Aurlca, who had hidden himself in th'3 woods, heavily armed, for the announced pur pose of. resisting conscription, was shot and killed by officers near Mid way, Texas. Two hundred girl students of the Petrograd Technical Institute have Ijn. tered their names on th3 rolls of a female regiment which is being raised by Ensign Butchkareff. The aim is ijaimediately to start to the front and to fight in all respects under the sarnie conditions as men. To decide the disposition of a $1,1 000,000 charitablb contribution to be raised by Elks on account of the war, Edward Rightor, grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks, announces the appoint ment of a committee of fivte to confer with Red Cross authorities and other Federal officials" in Washington. Mr. Rightor says it was expected to raise the contribution at the annual con vention in Boston early in July. 8uece of U Boat and Overthrow of tho Czar Cited at Arguments For Subscriptions Soldier at the Front Urge Relative at Horn to Buy War Securities. How the 'German government appeal ed to the hopes and fears of its sub jeets in its calls for subscriptions to the sixth war' loan of $.1,570,000,000 voted by tho reichstag over the opposi tion of the Socialist minority on Feb. 23 is brought out lu items found in Ger man newspapers recently received in New York and Loudon. The time for subscribing to the loan officially expir ed on April 10, niul on April U7 Count von Roedern, secretary of the imicrittl German treasury, is reported to have announced that the amount pledged to date was almost $a.OiM.Or)0.OOO, with some of the men at the front still to be heard from. Danger Menacing German Home. In addition to the special references made in the appeals issued after April 6 to the necessity of "giving ft straight answer to Wilson," mentioned in cable grams to the American press, the Ger man war loan pleas laid great emphasis upon the alleged atrocities committed by the allies and the danger menacing German homes in case the enemy suc ceeded in breaking the German defense lines. ITero is an nppeal printed in the Kolnische Zeitung : "Rememlier that our foes have re jected the sincere offer of pence by our kaiser, rejected it with insolent mock ery. Remember that England, who can not conquer us with honorable weapons, engaged in a cowardly starvation war against our women, children and aged. Remember that France stirs up murder ous beasts In. the shape of men against you; that she sends colored beasts against your sons, brothers, and father? In the field. Remember-what Russia's savage Cossack hordes have made of the flourishing East Prussian province and its peaceful inhabitants. Remember that 'neutral' America has broken off relations with us because our subma rines have disturbed Its 'business.' Re member the treachery of Uoumania and Italy. Remember the maltreatment of our Imprisoned heroes in enemy countries. Remember the bombing of np.ioef til: undefended towns by our"i foes Remember the Baralong. "If you remember all this you will know what you have to expect and what you have to do. Everything is at stake. Subscribe to the sixth war loan and compel our enemies to make peace." 4.. ,.i ti , .t ,.ir.fi In the effort to discourage the femi- organ of the Clerical party, p. inted the negrQe8 from the Soutn "v7e battle in storm wind and wea which is reported to have au f,mii , hu ,,r in the rin of such proportions that it is difficult in bullets and protect the homeland with some localities to secure sufficient ne our hard, horny hands.

Tbse boys are all coast ar tillerymen and are very anxious to test their skill with a ten Inch shell on some of Germany's submarines. W. C.

William Neal, the son of P. B. Neal, and Paul Price, the son of J. V. Price, have recently giv en up good positions to enter the Avia tion Corps, and we hope that the first bomb they drop in France will go down the. back of the Crown Prince's neck. R. E. McCollnm, the son of former Sheriff J. N. McCollul.n, is with the JMarines, which is to say where the fighting is thij hottest. Ralph Web ster, the son of County Commissioner Alf Webster, and Frank Cardwell, the son of Bob Cardwell, together with other members of the N. C. N, G. Is willing to chase the Kaiser out of Francta as they were to chase Villa away from the Mexican border. Dr. Newton G. Wilson, the son of J. P. Wilson of Route 2, holds a commission as First Lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps. Lieutenant Wilson is now stationed at Fort Oglethorpa, Ga., where along with a number of other doctors he is acquainting himself with the latest methods in his line of duty. Madison Messenger. John Robusch, a foreigner employ ed at the J. I Case tin company plant at Racine, Wis., was forced to kiss the American flag by 300 of his fellow employes, Tuesday, after he is alleged to have declared that he would not register and would not fight for th3 United States. The man was made to crawl on his knees to the flag, which had been spread on the floor, and after kissing it made to sa lute. The police informed him he would be arrested if he fai'Jsd to. .regis ter ;' Railroads of thle South are to aban don competitive activities and oper ate their lines during the year as part of the one national transcontinental system under the direction if the Rail roads' War Board for the benefit of the Governm-ent. Steps to make this plan effective wter' completed at a conference of tht executive officers of the different Southtern lines called to meet in Atlanta by W. J. Harrahan, president of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and chairman of the South eastern department of the War Board TAKING MONEY OUT OF TOWN are not beaten and help Us to victory. In hunger and thirst and hard necessity we obey the dictate of the hour. Help us to victory. "Our blood is flowing in torrents from the North sea to the Euxlne. We suffer from frost and from the sun's pitiless heat. We suffer unending tortures for our country. But our eagle's wings still fly proudly. Help us to victory. It is to you we look to nerve the armed fist so that when the storm of bnttle rages our hands more firmly grnsp the rifle, eo that we break the deceitful enemy' power. Give us gold and silver for the fight. Help us to victory." Optimistic Note Introduced. In the official advertisements of the war loan, an optimistic note is often found, as is evidenced by the following excerpt: "Everything is tottering! "On all the fronts we have torn away immense territories from the enemy ! "Our submarines have administered the donthblow to enemy commerce J "The authors of the war, Grey and Asquith, Delcasse and Brland, have been hunted by their own peoples from their offices and honors! "In Russia there is revolution! .The war has been deposed ! "Only one thing stands firm the soiid foundation of the German state fabric and the unconquerable strength of the German people. Uiou this rests the absolute security of the German war loans. "Help to win the War! Give your money to the fatherland, the safest debtor In the world !" Letters from soldiers at the front ad vising their relatives to buy war se curities wer; also prominently display ed in the press. One of these epistles, ci edited to "a brave landwehr soldier," writing from Roumania to his wife in a village near Osnabruck, reads : "Today I write to you about the war loan. I know you subscribed to four out of the last five loans, but now comes the sixth and, we hope, the last. And as the end is approaching we must make a special effort I am sure you have not got much more money at Lome or in the savings bank. But, a you wrote to me, we have still got a quantity of other things which we can turn into money. Sell as soon ts you can our one cow and the calf, the last remaining pig and some of the geese, for it is more Important for us to get money than to have a cow or a goose." 1 gro labor for farm work and Other lo cal needs, the management of the Southern Railway System has adopted the policy of taking no action to ac commodate, this travel In the future. Orders have been issued to discontin ue, effective at once, the assembling, holding and using of extra passenger and baggage cars for labor movamtents and otherwise to discourage the negro exodus from the South in Overy legiti mate manner. America's 1917 wheat crop, as fore casted by the Department of Agricul ture will fall far below normal despite a prospect for a more than ordinary yield of spring wbteat. A total yield estreated at 656,000,000 bushels will give the country 16,000,000 more bush, els than last' year's crop, but with the heavy demands from abroad and vir tually no reserve store, it will not meet war ncbds unless the country practices the most rigid economy. The department forecasts a spring crop of 283,000,000 bushels, a big ! W. but estimates of .winter .what. pr;t.l'i;tlon give a crop of only 373,000,0u burhels 7,000,000 more than was forecasted in the May 1 condtlon but still far from the normal yield. Did you ever hear any one say, "No. 1 won't buy a Chautauqua ticket: Chan, tnuqua takes money out of town?" The fellow who says that should place an embargo on sugar, and rice, and gasoline.' - and automobile tires. , and clothes. We should stop using every thing lint air. for that is about t lie enly commodity the use of vvhU-b doesn't take money out of twi. What that fellow really wauled to say was, "No, I won't buy a Chautau qua' ticket because no one in this town .'cts'a profit from it. and I won't put i-onize any one who won't patronize ii e." By the same argument he should tiavi his telephone removed and refuse to use tlie railroad. Chautauqua Is valuable because it brings new Ideas and .refreshing enter tainment from other communities, gathers something from the.' spirit': of this community and carries it on to tilers, because it Is the great medium for exchange of ideas. It has been called ''"the people's university" because !t Is tlie disseminator of ideas and one uf the most potent agencies of national irtelitH-tual growth.;- Chautauqua is ! laying mi increasingly Important part ii- the enlightening or this country ami lias come almost to lie a necessary .u.t of our 'democracy., its very nature demands state wide and national scope:. .''Communities.' serine the services '-.of tlie 'hii'Jtauqua Association for the an;- reason, that iieople buy automo biles .rom manufacturers rat her. thaii I jive a local carriage buiiVcr ninke tlieui to order. . .-Communities group to--ii'ther into Chautuuqua circuits to get the Hilvantages of quantity production -lessened cost and better quality. And thus tlie Chautauqua Association's ha'-ges do "lot represent money taken tiom town. The fractional cost of Swarthmore Chautauqua ,irograin as compared with the cost of the sainv program arranged by a local manager epresents money saved to the town ii cost cut In two. Nexi time a fellow tells you "Chau tauqua takes money out of town"' tell bini these things, and then. .if In. doesn't ',ui: whimpering, mark lilm down as :i mar without a country, one too much eug-ossed with profits, the sound ;f sliver clinking in bis till, to hear the call of community pride ind better ment, the need of a better town.
