also hean a campaign apparently do.
Signed to prevent enlistments in the
army and navy. Petitions were clr
eulated by persons culling themselves
representatives of the no-enlistment
leaguo. '
Disorders of yesterday, Including
several fist fights and small riots in
headquarters of tho Kmergency Peace
J,Tederalion on Pennsylvania avenue
resulted today in the disappearance
of many of tho arm 'hands and body
banners worn by the pacifists.
Sonio freely admitted that they had
dispensed with their insignia through
fear of being attacked. The few
"kept us out of war" armbands tluit
appeared on the streets drew from
passing pedestrians and the drivers
of vehicles jeers, hoots and hisses.
Pacifists began their day by call
Ing at the headquarters of tho (emer
gency Peace Federation and asking
for Instructions. They were told to
go to the capital and see their respec
tive senators and representatives.
'Try to persuade them not to vote
for war," was tho word that was
passed.
Tho pacifists will hold a meeting
this afternoon and later will send a
delegation to seo President Wilson.

possible without borrowing and en
the basis of equltublo taxation."
All preparations, the president
urged, should be made In such way
tts not to chock the flow of war sup
plies to the nations already In the
field against Germany.
Measures to accomplish all these
onds, tho president told congress
would ho presented with the hest
thought of the executive departments
which will he charged with the con
duct of tho war and he besought con
sideration for thoni In that light.
President Wilson's appearance be
fore congress waB marked hy a scene
of tho greatest enthusiasm ever
shown Blnce he began delivering his
addresses In person. Crowds on the
outside of the capitol cheered him
frantically as ho entered and as ho
left. Congress roured cheer after
cheer In an outburst of patriotic en
thusiasm.
Itoferrlng only briefly to tho long
diplomatic correspondence with Ger
many In his offer to bring her back to
the bounds of the laws of Immunity
and nations, tho president launched
Into hlB denunciation of the course of
tho German government which ho de
clared had forced the United States
to become a belligerent.
"The wrongs against which wo
now arm ourselves," he said, "are no
common wrongs. They cut to tho
very roots of human life."
Disclaiming any quarrel with the
German peoplo and anything hut a
feeling of friendship nnd sympathy
for them, the president declared their
government had not acted upon their
Impulses In entering tho wur nor
witli their previous knowledge or ap
proval.
In scathing terms, tho presldont
referred to Gorman plots against tho
United States.
It was evident, the president added
that the spies wore here oven before
tho wur began. That the German
government means to stir up enemies
at tho very doors of tho United States
was eloquently proved, ho said, by
the revelation of tho plot to embroil
.liipan and Mexico In war with tho
United Slates.
'We are accepting this challenge
of hostllo purpose," said the presi
dent, "berauso wo know that in such
a government, following such moth-
ods, wo can novor have a friend; and
Hint in the protein e of Its organized
power always .; :ig wait to accom

"Tho whole force of the nation" If
necessary, tho presldont declared,
would bo spent against this "natural
foe to liberty," und to "choc Us pro
tensions and power."
Towards Germany's allies, tho pre
sident said, tho United States was
taking no action at this time, because
they were not engaged In warfare
ugeinst Americans on the seas.
The United States, ho said, was
moving only against "an Irresponsi
ble government, which has thrown
asldo all considerations of humanity
ami of right and is running amuck."

kept up until Medford has furnished
her quota of supplies, or m ease of

Flint Aid ("lassos.
Sixteen women have already en
rolled for the course in first aid, the
classes being organized by Mrs. O.
h. Osburn. The first aid course will
include 1(1 lectures, two lectures
being given each week. The fee for
enrollment is f0c. At the close of the
course, the examining fee will be 5t)c.
The scope and purpose of the first
aid work is described in the Hud Cross
pamphlet as follows: "The course
in first aid for women supplies useful
and practical knowledge which all
women should have, but does not pro
vide the qualifications necessary for
nursing service in time of war."
Those who have taken first aid and
desire active service will be assigned
to work in diet kitchens, linen rooms,
etc.
1 doctors to lecture.
Dr. Clancy lias been authorized to
deliver lectures in Medford. The ap
plications of Drs. Stearns, Clara
Dunn nnd County have been forward
ed to lied Cross headquarters.
It is recommended that as many
women us possible enroll in the
course in home nursing. The fee for
this course is 50c for enrollment and
Utlc for each of the .15 lessons in the
course.
The work taken up in homo nurs
ing is not so spectacular as in the
first aid course, but according to Mrs.:
Osburn, offers the best chance for,
real service in case of national need.,

said the three most pressing problems
facing the government were:
The raising of sufficient money to
finance war operations and extend
credits to the entente allies.
Tho raiing of a large army.
The provision of adequate means
of fighting (lonnun submarines,
111 addition to those problems the
cabinet took up questions of indus

thoroughly by the council of national
defence.
Tho position of this government, as
authoritatively outlined today is thai
the best move toward peace which

TO BE RECRUITED
Orders have Just been received by
Captain Vance to Immediately recruit
Company 7, C. A. C, to one hundred
and fifty men. It is necessary now to
put forth greater efforts than ever
before to secure the required number
of recruits and a vigorous campaign
will be carried on In other tdwns in
Jackson county to bring the strength
of the company up to the required
number and to this end T. H. E.
Hathaway will captain the "flying
squadron" to Eagle Point Thursday
afternoon at 2 p. m April Gth to bo-
cure recruits for Company 7. A runii
or is being circulated which is ap
parently authetlc, that the Coast Ar
tillery of Oregon will be sent to tho
Panama Canal Zone and Honolulu to
man the coast defense batteries at
those places. Since there is no need
of the twelve companies of the Coast
Artillery Corp of Oregon to be sta
tioned at the mouth of the Columbia
river, and as the Oregon Artillery
Corps attained the highest efficien
cy last year In target practice of
any artillery troops in the United
States either militia or regulars, it Is
quite apparent that they would In all
probability be sent to the most Im
portant coast defense, when probable
action might follow a declaration of
war. . '
Therefore, with almost assured
prospect of active service by the Ore
gon Coast Artillery, the recruiting
will, at onco be speeded up, and
the required number of one hundred
and fifty men -will be secured by the
end of the week.

Mother! Your child Isn't natural

cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't

ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gen
tle liver and bowel cleansing should
always be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup

teaspoonful, and in a few hours all
tho foul waste, sour bile and fer
menting food which is clogged in the

you have a well and playful child

Comparatively few people realize that
a cold is a signal of physical weakness."
To treat a cold with weakening
physics, alcoholic syrups or drugged
pills, may smother the cold but they also
reduce the body powers still further and
invite more serious sickness.
Scott's Emulsion has always been an
expert on colds, because it peculiarly
enriches the blood, quickly tones upthe
