TELL THE KAISER
Here is a message Unit was
. wit ten mouths ago by J. ('.
Dionne. first printed in the (iiilt'
(.'oust: Lumberman si ml since ' 're-
published in practically every
.state in the union. Head it and
you will not doubt: the justice of
the cause for which America
fights. The message follows:
Germany wants to know what
the I'nited States is fighting for.
She thinks the sinking of neu-
tral ships without warning isn't
enough to bring us in.
All right ! Let's tell Jier!
We're going to fight for out-
raged women!
We're going to fight for cruci-
fied nuns !
We're going to figkt for little
children with hands ami arms
missing!
We're going to fight for name-
essly mutilated soldiers!
We're going to fight for inno-
cent thousands strewn upon the
bol torn of t he sea !
WeVe going to fight for Bel-
gium outraged ami desecrated
-as no nation in the previous his-
tory of the world has ever been!
We're going to fight for France
thai magnificent nation of he-
roesbled white defending civil-
ization against the J'owei' of the
I '.east!
We're going to fight for Mug-.
land which chose the path of
Junior black-tinted with despair
when Ino little nation she had
sworn to defend was set upon as
by a wild beast !
AYe're going to fight J'or Italy
--which took up the cause of
L'ight against the power of Wrong
terrible though she knew the
cost must be !
We're going to fight in defense
of those principles of human lib-
erty which were laid down )iine-
teeu centuries ago by that first
great teacher and preaeher of hu
man rights-the 31 AX of CAL-
1LKK!
Every iota of Ihe philosophy

1TV and diabolic Clil'ELTV

that mark" every footstep of the
kaiser and his cohoits of Hell
are in direct and damnable oppo-
sition to everv thought word
and deed of the J1AX of GALL
LICK!
This is therefore no fight of
DEMOCUACV against AlTOt'-
KA( 'Y !
It is no battle of NATION
against NATION!
It is no contest of MAX against
.MAN! .
It is a titanic struggle btewecn
JJKJIIT and YKO!.
And we're going to fight-
fight fight side by side with
our fellows in the cause of hu-
manity until t hl-re is no vestige
left on all this great earth of the
powers thai defying God and
man precipitated this cataclysm
of blood and tears.
There is only one sentiment in
tins whole broad land today and
the man who does not recognize
it must indeed be deaf dumb and
blind; and that sentiment is a
dogged determination deep down
in the very bowels of every man
that we are going to fight until
we have juslified Italy: saved
England! Swept immortal France
free of the linn ; liberated Bel-
gium ; 'avenged so far as is with-
in human power the countless
crimes of Germany -against civili-
zation; broken the 1 1 indenbiirg
line and swept the army of the
beast as chaff before the wind;
humbled the empire of hell; and
please God rid the earth of
the kaiser and all his fell breed!
If anyone asks you. tell them
THAT is what we're going to
fight for!

Juuly :!(). (By mail.)
By the dim light of the moon you
could barely see Ihe stream of
doughboys pouring out of the shel-
tering woods and scraping over the
dusty French road toward the trench
es. They said very little and trudged
along with that measured swinging
would save a lot of ' tread which enables Europe's veter-
resuit might bo known the minute
the polls are closed.

mental .anguish if machines were ans to carry heavy packs almost un-
used to count the ballots so that the beard of distances.
The stream seemed unending as
the United Press staff car picked its
way from squad to squad without
using lights and without touching a
i single doughboy. Finally one sec-
tion of the human stream halted in
a ruined village. The press car
stopped too for beyond this point
everything except ammunition and
food goes on foot. i
The officers gave the order to rest
and a lot of packs dropped to the
ground followed by doughboys.
Their rifles they never dropped. In
the moonlight you could see the
ground covered with resting soldiers
mostly sitting. There was a click-
ing of rifles and sounds of tighten-
ing packs and bits of gossip which
could come only from a group head-
ing for its first night in the trenches.
Our Citizen Soldiers.
These were Uncle Sam's citizen sol-
diers new men just over from "the
states" as they have a habit of call-
ing home when over here. A few
questions revealed the fact that a year
ago these boys were clerks carpen-
ters students and whatnot in civil-
ian clothes. Six months ago they
were in a training camp. Now they
were soldiers in France and tonight
they were making their genuine de-
but into the war for civilization.
There was no wild enthusiasm nor
any evidence of fear or even appre-
hension among these citizen-soldiers
a3 they rested before making the last
lap Into the trenches. There was a
matter-of-fact sort bf confidence
prevalent and every man was mak-
ing the most of the breathing spell
to see that he was BH) per cent ready
for battle. Interest and talk center-
ed around the clicking rifles and
other equipment.
"This old gun's sure going to do
illilllllllliil
some work from now on" said one
doughboy to his pal as lie played
with the rifle fondly "It's the best
gun in this army."
"Say you never shot this gun" re-
plied the other "Nobody ever did
and nobody will but me. It's some
boche-gettcr. It was made for nie
'specially Bo."
Officers went through the crowd
giving a final warning about use of
gas masks and attention centered
around masks for a moment. A lot
of chaps tried them on again. Then
packs were again adjusted and the
group of doughboys streamed slowly
on.
More Silent Now.
As they got nearer the front
trenches the word was passed to
walk more quietly. Conversation ex-
cept in undertones stopped ami they
descended into the trenches. All you
heard was the steady knock of hob-
naied shoes on the trench duckboards
as these new arrivals were quietly
initiated to the trenches on the west-
ern front somewhere in France.
Quietly and without commotion the'
officers stationed their men with
lookouts watching across moonlit No
Man's Land the former occupants of
the trenches left and the re'ief was
completed.
There is something about the fear-
less quiet way these new doughboys
take to the trenches that makes you
feel they know a lot about warfare.
They are veterans before they enter
the trenches by first-rate military
training if not experience. Their dis-
cipline is fine and their efficiency
tells you they are ready for business
Meaning whipping Germans.
"Well you can tell Kaiser Bill we're
here to fight." said one doughboy as
he took his station. "Hear the Ger-
mans say we're just a crowd of un-
trained boys. We'll soon show them
we're soldiers."
They Did it Too.
H happens this doughboy's platoon
did it very soon. The next night
ltiU Germans came over and 50 of
these "untrained boys" withstood the
attack and stuck to their guns. The
Germans who were still alive and
able to run retreated double-quick
time.
Speaking of the way the newly ar-
rlved Americans take to the trenches
and to their duties one brigadier gen-
eral wha had just finished a com-
plete relief said "They're not exact-
ly glad to get into the trenches. I
guess no ono is glad ot that. But
these boys all figure it's work to bo
done and they're here to lick Ger-
mans. They're keen to get tho job
done. They're confident all right
but not boastful because they know
there's a lot to learn."
A doughboy gave his version of
how he and his pals felt while out
there facing No Man's Land for the
first time. "We're-not scared of the
Germans and when the time comes
we'll show them. We're going: to do
banding purchases up over tho sides
of the big British sea fighters.
Mostly tho store sells tilings to cat;
canned meats pickles jam and cako3
to vary the monotonous diet of the
fleet. But there are all the usual de-
partments if you eliminate the women
ware. A millinery counter would just
starve to death In this neighborhood.
Thero is a barber shop aboaid
the department store boat and tha
waiting list of patients for the bar-
ber's chair usually has about thirty
names.
