The musical numbers were beautifully rendered by an orchestra which made its first appearance on this occasion. Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the Department of History at the state university, gave the address of the evening, choosing for his subject “What's Wrong witli tlie World.”. In this lie traced the development in Germany and the practical appli cation on the part of her rulers of the cynical principles of government first worked out by Machiavelli in the latter part of the fifteenth cent ury in Ills book called "The Prince." With the establishment and growth of democracy in America and Europe, the world began to hope that old ideas had been superseded and that they might hope to make an end to war. But with the effort to put this hope into practical effect by means of the peace conclave at the Hague, it was found that one n.odern nation. Germany, blocked the way. But it was not until the present war that they realized how little Germany had changed, that she had not aban- dotied old Ideals of conquest, but that through the practice of Bismark with his "blood and iron” and through the teachings of Treitschke, she had been giving evidence of her real acceptance of the theory of Machiavelli, until now we see the full fruition in her campaign of fright fulness,” in her placing the state above all the principles of honor. With a power which does not recognize as binding her own sacredly pledged word, which bra zenly admits that nothing matters except her own advancement, a civilized world can make no peace. Therefore the world must first save itself from Germany as from a maddened beast, and then bring about a reorganization so that no similar crime can again be attempted. That can be done only when the principle is universally accepted that the state, like the individual, has obligations as well as power. This will be only after the defeat of the present Germany, for only thus can her people be taught the fallacy upon which their system rests At the close of Dr. Schafer’s ad dress. Mr J H Jones, chairman of the Beard of education, with a few appropriate words of commendation, presented diplomas to the following members of the graduating clase: Gail Beak, Gladys Gallier, Marie Divelbtss, John Donaldson, Goldie Hufford.

McDowell Only Receiving Station —Are Immediately Transferreb— Howe and Gates go East. A letter from Jas. H. Howe, who is at Ft. McDowell, Cal., brings the in formation that the Coos county boys who went to Ft. McDowell early In June, are now stationed at the Presi dio in San Francisco. Their address is "Private 3rd Company. Presidio, San Francisco. Cal.” He intimated that they would not he there long but that a letter written immediately would reach them there Mr. Howe and Mr. Gates, formerly local High school instructor, are still at McDowell, having been assigned to the work of making out reports, etc., for a short time. They have applied for chemistry work, and will be sent east soon as chemical workers. Ft. McDowell is not a training camp but simply a receiving station, from which the men. after a few days quarantine and vaccination, are transferred to the Presidio, Camp Fremont or Camp Kearney. It is located on Angel Island. Little Boy Dies. Laurence Alexander, the seven- year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Dietz of Bandon, died at the family home Sunday morning of stomach trouble. While he had been a suffer er of the same trouble during the summer months for several years, the immediate attack which caused Ills death came on about four days previous. The funeral services were conducted by Father Jos P. Clancy and burial took place at the Catholic cemetery. The deceased was born at Riverton. July Sth. 1911. He had lust completed his first term at school. AN EXPLANATION. Western World is called upon once more to explain its failure to publish the balance of the names on the list of Red Cross subscribers. This paper was unfortunate in having stated that It would do this before it was certain that the names would be available. We printed one consign ment and have since waited for the committee to furnish us with the rest of the names. The committee has been too busy to get these names out, as it had only a limited time to check up all the receipt books and make returns to headquarters, and the work had to be done in the spare moments. Now that this work is done It is discovered that the receipt books from which the first consign ment of names was taken for pub lication have been mixed up with •he rest of the books and nobody knows which Is which. In order to vave further confucton it has been decided to either print no more names or to print the whole list over again However Western World will make no more promises. If the entire tist is furnished us for publication in time for next issue it will appear in 'heae columns, otherwise the matter will rest as it is. The fault lies Mrs H. M Tucker and Miss Bertha with the fact that the committee in Nelson have gone to Portland for a charge of the Red Cross drive ha- simply had too much to lock alter. )»0 week's visit NO. 30 l.ist of the tiU Selected to the Colors During the Present Month. ^rorlnntafinn liy thr mayor Make this war a personal matter. Do not depend on others to do the fighting or to finance the govern ment. Do your share. It is as much your war as your neighbors. Buy no unnecessary article. Practice economy and self-denial. Unnecessary buying means a waste of material and labor; means that you are competing with the government for labor and material. Invest your savings in War Savings Stamps. The President of the United Stales has called on tlie people of th»“ nation to Indicate their self-denial by pledging themselves on June 28th, to purchase War Savings Stamps for the remainder of the year. In order that the citizens of this city may not fall behind other communities in response to the call, I hereby proclaim Friday. June 28th, as War Savings Day for the city of Bandon upon which day all persons shall give their pledges for the War Savings Stamps at such time and places and in such manner as may be appointed by C. S. Jackson, the War Savings Director for Oregon, acting under authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, and pursuant to the t'roclamation of the President of the United States. GEO. I’.
