In time of war the president of the United States not only is comman-; der-in-chief of the army and navy but} he also is the commander-in-chief of | the 100,000,000 men, women and chil- dren who compose the nation. If we are to make adequate prepar-} ation, for;war and are to wage war successfully; it is of first importance that ‘everyone of us recognize the au- thorjf ana’ the power that is vested | in. our commander-in-chief; that we not only recognize it but accept it} loyally and cheerfully. And having recognized and accept- ed this authority and power, it is the $ manifest duty of everyone of us to obey the orders of our commander- in-chief, whether or not they meet with our approval. ‘When we say “everyone of us,” we! eh editors of the 23,167 news- perigdicals and magazines in ‘the country, the 435 members of the sHonger of representatives, and the 96 members :of the senate. We hold that when a democracy through its representatives in con-! gress has declared war, that the very first sacrifice it must make for the period of the war is its democracy. If it is unwilling to do this then i should not declare war, for war is the antithesis of democracy | They will no more mix than oil and; water will mix. | We believe that the idea of politi- cal liberty—that it is the inalienable! right of human beings to govern | themselves, Which is the essence of democracy—is ‘the most magnificent | ‘ idea that ever originated in the brain | ' of man. 1 We believe that nothing has done | so much for the progress and uplift of the human race; that the whole future of mankind depends upon the preservation of democracy wherever it exists and the substitution of de- Mocracy for autocracy wherever au- tocracy exists. World-wide democracy means few- er wars for the very simple reas- on that the ideal of democracy is peace. War in the final analysis is “3 the clash of ideals. When all the nations of the earth have the same ie - ideals there will ibe world peace. We express the foregoing truths be- cause it seems to us that there is a very great misconception among all classes of people throughott the na- ‘ tion as to why the United States has ‘ entered the world war and how it can be effective now that it has entered it. geal be The popular conception seems to be that we should go forth to this 3 " great battle for world democracy ani world peace as a mob, fighting among bs ourselves, refusing to obey any lead- ¥ ership other than our, own opinions £ nd | prejudices. i We have just as positive opinions as anyone as to how the country should prepare for the war with Ger- many and fight it. & Jm the main our opinions coincide with those of our commander-in-chief, the, president, as expressed in his masterly address to congress when he. gaked that war be declared. .

By JOSEPHUS DANIELS, U. S. SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. (Written Especially for the Tribune.) How can I best serve my country? This sentiment, repeated in nearly every one of the letters and telegrams reaching me hourly, makes it plain that the desire to serve in the most effective way is uppermost in the mind of every American man and woman. There is work for all. physically active service. Let them help recru Men of military age who are fit can best serve the navy by enlisting in the it the navy to war able by direct taxation of incomes} and luxuries; that there must be a great increase in food production and food economy; that the governmen must build 2000 wooden ships next two years, that we must make common cause with the allies against German submarines; that we must continue to fight until German m tarism has been crushed, jeryone of us to support this program to the limit of our influence and to the limit of our physical, financial and intellectual ability. We are all soldiers in this great war and the first duty of a soldier is to obey orders, The hoe is mightier than the Ho- henzollern. TO MAKE UP THE DECREASES. In our opinion it is the duty of ev-| shop, the factory, the arsenal, the powder plant, the the plow. In modern war every unit mill, the handle of the nation must ‘be utilized for the nation. The efficiency of the system will depend upon the co-ordination of all elements with the general purpose of transforming the mighty potentialities of peace into the irresistible power of war. It is the duty of the gov- | E ernment at such a time to co-ordinate the man to his 1 place. It is no longer safe to folow the haphazard vol- unteer methods of the past. A selective process is essen- tial to victory. The girding of the nation for war will proceed along three main dines—MILITARY, INDUSTRY and RELIEF. NEWTON D. BAKER In the general plan, and along one or the other of these three outlets, there is a place for every loyal heart. i For some the opportunity is open today and should be seized. Many | will find it'through recruiting stations, many through the doors of offices | or factories or hospitals, or on farms or back yards; others through the | work of their hands or brains or money in the line of their daily tasks. | ‘A suburban dweller may increase his garden plot; a ¢ man culti- | vate a corner lot; a young man enlist; an older man organize a home | guard; a colege iboy stay and work in the laboratory; un engineer join the ; engineer serve; woman knit or sew or learn first aid. | But whatever the task, there should be the realization that service | for the republic carries with it honor and distinction, and that under cer- | tain conditions even death itself may become a precious boon when a man ! dies that a nation may live to fulnll its destiny. | | { strength by enlisting themseives. Let those who cannot enlist tell those who can that their navy needs them, Tell tiem to enlist now, because before they can serve efficiently they must be. trained. That takes months, and by the time they are ready new ships will be in need of crews. Mechanics who have had any experience in mod- ern shipbuilding should get in touch with the navy de- partment. Men are needed by hundreds to pusi to.com pletion ships under construction. Tell any shipbuilding mechanic not now employe& on ships that he owes it to his country to help ‘build and repair its fleet. All cannot serve in the first line. It is — essential to the success of our fighting forces that there shall be no interruption in the food supply nor in the products of certain in- dustries. Those thus exempted as well as tnose unable to serve can aid in bringing .the right man to the right job right away. In this, the women of America can aid tremendously. They can gper- ate with the Red Cross and assist also in other activities not under the navy. Nearly all wili make some sacrifice to the navy or army. Eacy+mo ment of the day and night will be a moment of anxiety to nearly every woman in the land. Heavy as that burden is, we know that it will be borne courageously, in the future as in the past, and I pray that they may be spared greater sacrifice in the achievement of victory.

Martineson’s presence is required in connection with the case of the government against Charles Norton, who is alleged to have cut open a mail pouch at the Soo passenger sta- tion New Year's night and rifled the pouch of its contents. Several months later Norton was arrested by the night captain.

The additional trackage will ‘be used principally to provide ear storage when troops and supplies be- spondence with the heads of institu- tions maintaining boarding houses, relative to the probable necessity of an increase in rates, and students fudge or on solid grub, eke MANY TAGS TO BE, SOLD.— At the close .of;busingss ‘last eve- ning the automobile. registration de- partment of the secretary of state’s office had issued 30,800 license tags,- netting the state $92,400, approxi- mately two-thirds of which will go into the state, highway fund. It is estimated that less than fifty per cent of North Dakota’s motor cars now are equipped with 1917 tags, and a thor- ough campaign is about to be launch: ed against the tagless auto. Seven- ty-five dealers’ licenses,,.at, $15 per, have been issued, to; date, and there are many more tq,be@jsent out. Deal- ers apparently are in,no, greater hur- ry than the individual car-owners to comply with the new statutes. ee 8 LIBRARY TEXT BOOK.— An important addition to library gin to move to the fort. Lincoln is being equipped to house 2,000 to 2,500 troops. eee BOARD TO COST MORE.— Because the cost of groceries and other edibles have increased almost 100 per cent over the beginning of the last biennium, students who eat at institution boarding houses in the several normals, the agricultural col- lege and the state university, face the probability of having to feed 2:8 or pay more. The price of board st these state- owned and operated cat: eries runs from $3 to $3.50 per week. The minimum price is enjoyed vy students who dine a la family, with the grub all on the table, and but one of their number serving and anoiner presiding at the head of the table. Where student waiters are utilized and a trifle more style adopted, ihe weekly rate is 25 to 50 cents higher.

Calls a'ready are being received, however, fron Colorado, Ohio, New Hampshire, Tex- as and other states, and a wide cir- culation is. assured. In introducing ‘the new volume, the Boston Book Co. says: ‘This little booklet, cov- eting methods of work and lists of supplies for the organization of small libraries, will be found very practi- cal, and there is no other similar work in print. Small libraries al- ready organized will find this a use- ful book for the information it gives in condensed form regarding all parts of library work in a small city or town.” tt er Tabloid History of United States South Is Reconstructed, West Is Settled, and United States Andrew.
