GLAD OF SUPPLIES
In th first news letter received by
the Soldiers' auxiliary from Captain
Vanee, under date of August 5, he
B8.VK :
"The eainp has sturted off very
satisfactorily, and every one is more
than satisfied. It is quite, cool 'at
night, but we all have stoves in our
tents. Every evening until tattoo the
boyg are playing and sinsinjr in tlie
various tents, or having their games.
It would be hard to find a more
happy or satisfied bunch of boys
anywhere, a condition which, to a
(rreat extent, has been brought about
by the thoughtfulness of the noble
women of the auxiliary nt home. Your
little remembrances were distributed
to tho boys a few days ago, ami not
a few tears were to be seen in their
eyes as each name was called and the
recipient steped forward to receive
tho token of your thoughtfulness for
our welfare. Any effort you may
have made in preparing all the little
kindnesses would have been repaid
many times over if you all could have
seen the happy countenances of the
boys ns they opened their packages
of good things you had sent to them.
"I did not distribute the things on
the train, as from experience in Ihe
past I havo found that the first day
or two away from home is the time
to look after tho 'tummies' of the
boys with tho most careful diligence,
and it is always best to keep candies
and cookies away from them at that
time. But tho delay made it all the
more appreciated, as it brought hack
a remembrance of home ami loved
ones in the midst of our military
preparations with double force.
"We will always think of you nnd
your thoughtfulness for our welfare,
and wish for you nil that vou desire
for ns."
WITH HANDS CUT OFF
I. Rloss, n well-known eonimrreiii'
traveler slmipitur nt the Hotel Hol

cruelty of Oermnn soldiers in Klam
ath Kails three weeks ago. They
wore girls aged 4 years, who were
ent to this country for adoption iiihI
were adopted by a wealthy resident
of Klumath Kails.
The right hand of each girl was
cut off nt the wrist, in accordance
with the ulleged edict of the German
commander of the town in which
they lived to thus mutilate all the
boy and girls there so that they
could nut shoot, firearms.
"When my wile and 1 looked at
thohc two Kior mutilated girls," said
Blos-i, "wo wondered how long the
rest of tho world is going to permit

day of reckoning m surely coining

TIIH little flifiio of anti-Americans ami pro-Germans

tlie most vital war measures vet submitted the food con

The result of the seditious obstructions of Senator
Gore are shown in his state, Oklahoma, where the ijrnor
ant tenant farmers, halfhreeds and negroes have taken
him literally and proceeded to follow his preaching ly

whether the actions of these deluded men, who know no
better, is as culpable as the actions of their senator, who
does know better.

GERARD'S
JAAlhS . UhKAKI) is publishing m the larger papers
of the count rv a historv of his four veal's its American
ambassador to Germany, detailing in the initial chapters
the forcing of the war bv Germanv and in his foreword
warning America to wake up and fight lest the nation
face destruction.
Mr. Gerard is the best qualified man in America to
speak, and his words should receive careful attention and
his advice followed.
He declares that the military and naval power of the
German empire is unbroken; that Germany still has
"f),0X),X)0 effectives under arms," and is replacing looses
at the rate of -100,000 a year; that "Germany will not break
under starvation or make peace because of revolution";
that the " U-boat peril is a very real one for England", and
that the German people will fight to the end, lest their
country be destroyed in case of defeat, lured by the prom
ise of world dominion if victorious. He declares:
Wo stand In groat peril, ami only tho exerclso of ruthless realism can
win this war for us. If (iernuiny wins this war It means the triumph of tho
autocratic system. It means triumph of those who believe not only In war
us a national industry, not only in war for Itself, but in war as a high and
noblo occupation, t'liless Ccrnnuny Is beaten every nation will be compell
ed to turn Itself Into an armed camp until the (ieruinn autocracy either
brings tho whole world under its dominion, or forever Is wiped out as a
form of government.
Our occupation is not to debate and talk, not to discuss
dreams of peace, but to fight. As Mr. Gerard says:
"There arc too many thinkers, writers and speakers in the
United States; from now on we need the doers, the organ
izers and the realists, who alone can win this contest for
us, for democracv and for permanent peace."
We know what we arc fighting for, the preservation of
democracy, the defense ot the nation, the rights ot human
ity. All the latent power and wealth and energy of the
nation must be mobilized for a victorious war and when
victory is secured it will be time to prattle of peace, for as
(liarles Kdward Uusscll. says: "America is in peril, and
no question is worthy of consideration until we settle the
quest ion whether democracy shall live."

Tlie Soldiers' Auxiliary acting upon
a Eiii,:-:e.-tioii made by Mr. Thomas
iSwem, ii takini; stops to provide the
Seventh companay with a portable
moving pkrlurt'caraera, which will lo
handled by some member of the com
pany and used to take views of the
boys In camp, whenever and pht rever
permissible, which will be forwarded
regularly every week to the auxlliary
and exhibited on the screen here,
showing the boys drilling, or handling
the big suns at the fort, at mess or at
recreation, and In all the various ac
tivities which fill up their days in
camp life. Arrangements will proba
bly be made for showing the films In
other towns in the valley also: the in
come from all exhibitions will be de
voted to the company mess fund, and
the expectation is that a handsome
sum will be realized for the purpose
every month.
In this connection, it is interesting
(to know that the public-spirited citi
zens of Marshfield have provided a
fund for the Kleventh company of the
coast artillery corps which will pro
vide their company mess fund with
regular monthly installments of four
hundred dollars while they are in
service. It is Mcdford's main purpose
to maintain a mess fund for the Sev
enth company, sufficient to provide
for the many wants w hich are not cov
ered by the government's Issues. The
-Marshfield company's mess fund may
look big in a lump sum, tint, dividrd
among one hundred and nine men, it
amount to less than four dollars per
month each, which is certainly not too
liberal a contribution from the home
folks toward the comfort and necessi
ties or tho loyal boys who have pledg
ed life itself to the service of our
country. The auxiliary counts upon
the hearty support of the whole com
munity in its undertaking for the wel
fare of the Seventh company.
Captain Vanee, in a letter giving
bis approval of the projocl says:
"Your letter was duly received and
read to the company yesterday at in
spection. You may be sure tint it
was received with shouts of approval
by every man of tho company. We
will he delighted to make the movie
films for the auxiliary, and believe we
can get some very intercsllng views
for exhibition in Medford. Wo will lie
permitted to take practically every
thing about tho post except pictures
which show any landscape points

on, which duo we have our first full

guns. It would bo very Interesting to '
the home folks to see the hoys In real
action under war conditions."
It Is the auxiliary's Intention to
have the films preserved as a perma
nent community record of the partici
pation in the irre.it war on the part of
our own Soldiers, to say nothing of
the great delight which tho parent!
and frioi.iU of tho boys will enjoy ev
