French Soldiers Here.
For the first time during the
war, the students of James John
have had the opportunity of
listening to French soldiers who
have actually seen service at
the front. On Wednesday morn
ing, Captain J. C. Champion
and Sergeant Mirat, of Camp
Lewis, where they have been
aiding in the military training,
visited the school and spoke to
the student body. While Cap
tain Champion suoke. Sorereant

ing the talk. The hearty ap
piause attested the appreciatio
lrom the students lor both.
un Tuesday an assembly was
called during the seventh per
lod at which Police Sergeant
Frank Irvine spoke on "Safety
First" precautions in the street
tratlic. I he lecture was illus
tratcd by stcrcoptican slides
Sergeant Irvine impressed th
students by the earnestness in
which he snoke of his work nni
by the plans he is using to makt-
the roads "sale" for both th
autoists and pedestrians.
The sixth term girls were kept
in suspense during the last
week by many meetings ano
mysterious notices plactd on the
board by the boys of the c ass
but the mystery was solved 01
Wednesday after school whei

After rowing about, games fol
lowed on the beach. A bitr bon
fire was built nominally for the
purpose of roasting wienies.
Wcnins in all shades of brown
and black, marshmcllows and
bananas, not to mention sand
wichos by the dozen, were rav
cnously devoured. Just at dusk
the boat came and the crowc
was compelled, much agains
their wilta, to go home, as tin
noxt day was a school day
uvcry one agreed mat it wa
the most successful good tinu
yet planned by the Junior class
On Thursday after schoo
about twenty members of tin

were briefly entertained on
Wednesday. April 23. The Do.
Sc.class Borved n toothsomo troy
luncheon for their delectation at
tho noon hour with place cards
and flowers complete. After
luncheon the class went to the
Domestic Science room where
thoy told their fortunes by flup.
ping flapjacks. It would seem
that their "fates" vary from
tall, dark and handsome to
piquant, blonde and handsome.
Ono unfortunate, however, by
turning his flapjack to the floor
proved his case to be "hope
less." The Senior Class members are
all proudly wearing their class
pins and rings. The seal design
is especially pleasing and has
been adopted us standard for at
least four years. The presi
dent of the class, Oscar Ander
son, took accasion at the lunch
eon to present Mr, Fletcher a
class pin as a gift from the
class of June, '18, in apprecin
tion of his close association with
them.

not the loss of profits, but slavery to
tho saber-rattler of Potsdam. Ilo pur

stopped merchant vossols, they sank
them. Sank them without warning,
without trace tho most devilish
thing war has seen since tho savages
scalped our ancestors and threw
screaming babies Into tho (lames ot
burning cabins.
Tho German plan ot sinking men
chnut vessels without trace Is linked
on tho murderer's maxim that "dead
men tell no tales." It was exe
cuted by tho massacre ot men, wom
en and children, who, hnvlng com
mitted themselves to small boats In
tho opvii soa after (heir ships were
torpedoed, were mercilessly raked
with gunllro, and exterminated to the
last unprotected, unpltled soul! These
aro tho murders that stain the handu
of tho Kaiser, his advisers and min

on neutral vessels when nil that civ
ilized wurfaro gavn tho Germans a
right to do oven with tho merchant
vessel undor a hostllo Hag, was to
atop it at sea and mako It a prizo of

To kill tho civilians on board, oven
under u hostllo flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these tnur
ders woro committed In order that we
might be enslaved! Having the
right to take tho seu with his tlet. i
but being afraid to do so for fear he
might loso It, and being unable by
fair means to stop tho selling of our
products to his enemies, tho Kaiser
declared that ho would do It by the
foulest mothods over resorted to In
war. Ho declared thu sen closed.
and that hu would keep It closed, not
by war, but by murder.
