Do It Today! “FOR SALE BY ALL LIVE DEALERS.” LIBERTY OR DEATH, IS BELGIAN CRY Head of Mission to U. S. Quotes Patrick Henry in Addressing | Senate. Washington, D. C., June 22,—-The Belgian mission was received today in the Senate chamber with a great: demonstration. An address by Baron Moncheur, head of the mis- sion, expressing Belgium's gratitude for America’s aid and sympathy, was punctuated with frequent applause. The Baron said, in part: “Belgium even in the midst of the terrible misfortunes which have been brought upon her by her fidelity to treaties and by respect for her plight- ed word, does not regret her decis- ion, and there is not a single Belgian worthy of the name who does not} now, as on the first day of the war, approve the judgment of our Gov- ernment that it is beter to die, if! need be, rather than to live without honor. Like Patrick Henry, all Bel- gians say: ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ “The courage of my fellow-coun- trymen has been strengthened by the sympathy for our misfortunes which has been manifested throughout our great land. “American initiative has bestowed most generous help upon our starv- ing population, and in offering from this tribune the expression of grati- tude of every Belgian heart, I wish also to render special homage to that admirable organization, the Commis- sion for Relief in Belgium, “which has done so much to save our peo- ple from starvation. “Yes, gentlemen, the sympathy of America gives us new courage, and while King Albert, who since the fateful day when our territory was violated, has remained steadfastly at! the front, and while the Queen ex- pends her unceasing efforts to com- fort and relieve the victims of bat- tle, exciting enthusiasm by her con- tempt for, the danger to which she exposed herself day by day, on the other side of the enemy’s line be- tween the yoke, but never conquered | vanilla flavoring Now We Krow Why Congress Has Been Juggling Billions. . ) Washington, D.

Palen S88 proposition submitted to the Missouri State Council of Defense to reques' Gov. Gardner to call a special ses- sion- of the Legislature to provide money for the’ council was with- drawn at a conference here - today. Attorney General McAllister told the council that the voting of the appro- priation would be useless, since’ it would not procure the money, the use of all available revenues for the biennial period having been designat- ed. The proposal was submitted by Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City. The problem of raising funds to carry on the work was solved ‘by an arrangement under which 20 .mem- bers of the council are to give their notes for $5,000 each, to be carried by the Merchants-Laclede National Bank of St. Louis, with the under- standing that Gov. Gardner is to rec- ommend that the next Legislature appropriate money to reimburse ‘the contributors. The $100,000 it is estimated, will cover the expenses of the council for the first year. B. F. Bush, of the Missouri Pacif- ic, Walter S. Dickey, George W. Brown, William H. Lee of St. Louis, C. W. Thomas of Jefferson City and others urged this method of raising funds. : The council declared that Gov. Gardner, in the emergency, was jus- tified in agreeing to ask the Legisla- ture to make an appropriation to pro- tect the makers of the notes. The method of raising the money was proposed by William H. Lee of the Merchants-Laclede National Bank, who said:his bank would car- ry the notes at 5 per cent until the Legislature made the appropriation. August A. Busch of St. Louis wired a contribution of $5,000. In a summary of the council’s- work W. F, Saunders of St, Louis the secretary, said: : “We have 62 counties organized, with 650 active members. These county councils have organized town- ship councils. When thoroughly or- ganized we shall be able to commun-| icate to more than 1,200 groups, of | seven men or more in each, in every corner of the State any plan or de- sire of the President or the Council of National-Defense withif 48 hours.” A paper to be issued by the State Council July 1 and every two weeks thereafter to tell of the activities of Missouri in aid of the nation. Discussing the organization of home guards, the report of Secre- tary Saunders says: “So far Kansas City and Sedalia have taken the lead. The Council of} National Defense is preparing plans, for the general organization of home, guards in Missouri, as well as, I as- sume, in other states, These home guards may be organized without any authority, but they must place themselves under the orders of the Governor in order to become the beneficiaries of a law which has just been passed by Congress providing that home guards may receive from the Government arms unused by reg- ulars.” !

Danville, Ill, June 21.—Claiming ‘that their religion is against the war and the manner in which soldiers are being selected for service, and that “the Lord told them not to register” on June 5, John and Sip Fowler, Leon Angel and Hosea Lawrence of Anna, Til, are in the county jail here on a charge of violating the conscrip- tion law, They are members of the Pente- costal or “Holy Roller,” Church. They told Government officers they had no objection to serving in the army if it was the will of the Lord for them to do so, and that they were willing to go even to the battlefields of France to convert men to their belief.

An Afro-American known as “Hawk” is on of the town characters of Sedalia. “Hawk” is 34 years old, consequently exempt from registra- tion, but some of his white friends in a spirit of mischief told him the maximum age limit applied only to white men and that negroes regard?’ less of age were to be drafted.
