AGENTS OF THE KAI8ER.
Some of th4 republican leaders in #the senate are undertaking the vicious scheme of trying to break down the support of the president by the nation at i thitp critical time in the Irepublic's hlsftory. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge arose in the senate yesterday and delivered, a speech attacking the president for the »^appointment of "incompetents" to the ^l$,rge posts that are being created to t^krry qri the war work. This is mere tn/ssumption of Lodge's part. It smacks ,11^ cheap politics. Mr. Hoover, who tliai baen chosen as food conservator, hall charge of the relief of Belgium,
t%d-dld
-a work which attracted the
^profound attention of the world. r-A Mr. Davlsson, who is directing the Vstork of raising the Red Cross fundsrIs l^pite of the nation's largest imauciers, fefad -a- man whose public spirit has never been questioned. '.What other lines of endeavor Mr. ^Lodge had in mind are not known, ijWhen all the people of the nation stand f' V^fhind the president, when all the na-
Sitlbn is giving its means for the support of the -Liberty Loan bonds and the Red Cross Work, it is appalling to i^e chosen "leader^' of the people ap ply the petty tricks of the politician to
Undermine the nation's safety. •few days ago Senator Warren G. ^JHHardlng, republican, of Ohio, arose in the senate and hinted tha,t if the peo :-pie -knew of what he called the mls'Jmanagement of the war there would .'he a public protest. A' Called to account by Senator Lewis tor a speech assailing the government's ^-/campaign to sell Liberty bonds as "hysterical and unseemly," the senator from ,6bio replied: "In putting aside partisanship there
Jg&r© those in this chamber who are also splitting aside confidential information
that might, if disclosed, call for Investigations that might shake the confidence of the American people in th^ conduct of the war."
If this means anything it means that if the American people knew what the senate knows they would refuse to bu Liberty bonds and would refuse Jo support the Wilson administration in carrying on war against Germany.
As sure as time, the government is going to have to deal with this sort of treason. If the soap box orator with his misguided conception of free speech is^abated and suppressed, how greater is the need that individuals like Senator Lodge and Senator Harding be scotched. The longer their mischief is tolerated the bolder they will become.
Some of the 'nation's leaders" address themselves to this crisis in American history as if they were engaged in a county political campaign. These sappers of American spirit must occasion joy In the heart of the kaiser. The rank and file of the American people will concede to the government right now large latitude in dealing with this type.
A NEW INFLUENCE.
Two hundred young gifls have Joined the Camp Fire Girls here this year, according to a report made at the celebration last evening. It has been but a short span since this organization came into being.
We hear much these days of the Boy Scouts and the excellent work they are doing. But it may be of interest to know that members of their sister organization,/ the Calnp Fire Girls, of whom there are something like 95,000 in America, are also valiantfy "doing their bit."
Their program for service is by no means limited to members of the organisation, either. Any girl can do it, and furthermore, it is work that one may do In one's home, too.
As the summer vacation approaches these girls are planning a season of gardening—raising vegetables, picking fruits and berries and canning them.
Dr. Luther H. Gulick, president, has worked out a program for their activities. "This program is not aimed afc the Camp Fire Girls alone," he says, "but at every girl in the United States. It differs, from any other program that ha« been proposed in that it is absolutely definite. Instead of presenting a large number of desirable things to do from which the girls shall choose, it picks out the essential things which have been recommended by the government departments."
The work the Camp Fire Girls are doing is not so spectacular as driving automobiles, operating wireless or flying machines, but itf just as vitally important.
So here's a thought for those who are eligible to Join: The Camp* Fire Girls are doing worth-while things for their country. They learn team-work, and it is the team-work of everybody that is to count in the ^winning of the war.
A KING IN A RAGE.
According to a Stockholm cable to the Tribune yesterday, Kaiser Wilhelm
"It is evident to every thinking man and woman that our industries—on the farm, in the ship yard, in the mines, in the factories—must be made more prolific and more efficient."'
Business must and will be increased. Our labor must be employed. This is reab Economy—the only kind that will benefit our own people—for, after all, we, as consumers, must also, be producers.
65% of Working Women Support Families
They must have work. They neegL it Now more than ever. Real Economy will suggest your buying the things produced by the workingman or woman. It creates prosperity. It creates confidence, if you deny the workers in the industries of our state*the right and privilege to earn the necessities of life you are simply adding to the burden of our government.
As consumers, as laborers in the industrial life of our state, we speak for a chance to earn our own existence and to provide otir families and those dependent upon us with the necessities of life.
Economy Now Means a Busy People
We are asking ybu—not to spend your money indiscriminately —but if you really want our industries to continue, our people to be busy, our state to be prosperous—then do not deny yourself the things you can afford to buy.
You with your money to spend can be of inestimable help now, in our time of war, by spending it wisely, judiciously and economically. Every dollar you spend creates a demand for labor— labor creates prosperity—and only a prosperous people can meet the demands our nation must make. Again we ask you to "make your dollars do their duty—for every busy dollar does its bit."

Red Cross War Relief Body on Way to France to Study Europe's Needs
ERNEST BICKNEI,T»
OrC ALEXANDER LAMBERT. "WASHINGTON, June 15.—Headed by Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, U.-.P. A., and 9. vice-president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, an American Red Cross commission to study relief needs abroad, is now on its way to France. Other members of the commission are:
Ernest P. Bicknell, Dr. Alexander Lambert, James H. Perkins, William Endlcott. Carl Taylor, George B. Ford, Ernest McCullough and A. W* Copt).
Major Murphy is a graduate of West Point and served in the First Pennsylvania volunteer infantry during the Spanish-American war. He has been commissioned by the government with the rank of major in the United States army on active service.
roundly denounced King Constantine, of Greece, for abdicating his throne, and flew into a rage when he heatd the- netVs. With an American army radiating out from French headquarters in Europe the king business seems to decline.
President Wilson's flrip stand fdr world-democracy and humanity so enthused the people of Greece, it is said, that the autocratic- party, which had supported King Constantine in his proGerman policy, became alarmed, and the king was forced to give in to the demands of the entente allies.
Some people may affect to sneer at the altruistic motives enunciated ,by the United States in this war, but the lefcven is working, as this incident shows.
The prospect of liberty, of being al

lowed to govern themselves through chosen representatives, has a powerful appeal to any people, even though they have been reared and educated to regard democracy as a dangerous experiment.
The wealth, power and prestige of the United States are today the greatest, menace to autocracy, and the kings, emperors and czars are beginning to find it out.
Constantine, deprived of his throne and forced to seek asylum in a foreign country, is a pitiful figure. It is doubtful if even his Hohenzollern relatlves-at-law have much respect or sympathy for him. Certainly the people of Greece, to whom he was essentially a foreigner, need shed no tear^ of regret over him. He did his best to betray them.
The future of Greece is uncertain. The people may tolerate young King Alexander for a time, but the tendency is toward a republican form of government, and.it cannot long be deferred.
FINAL NOTICE.
Tyrants abroad and some few traitqrs at home clung to the hope that this nation would rescind its resolve to punish those who have been murdering American citizens and destroying American lives .on the high .seas.
The announcement today that the Liberty Loan has been over-subscribed $500,000,000 removes the last doubt as to the purpose of this nation to avenge these outrages against this nation and to deal its enemies such a blow as will bring them to their knees end teach them that American lives and rights, now as ever, cannot be? violated without penalty.
Americans have over-subscribed this loan, and they will oversubscribe the next one. No man or woman should esteem his liberties so lightly that he is not willing to share his savings with the nation as it takes the sword to fight for them.
If the freedom of mankind, f6r which Americans have fought successfully in four wars, was worth that enor? it must be worth defending now. If the revolution. and the civil war were worth their cost, »the war of 1917 is worth fighting. No nation ever entered a conflict with a cleaner banner or less, selfish purpose than tfcat which the United States is taking to Europe.
And the Liberty bond speaks for the wars of the past as well as for the greater war of the present. It represents the solidarity of Americans in the cause of liberty and democracy—the determination of Americans not to sacrifice the fruits of victories achieved, in past wars, from Bunker Hill to Appomattox.
With the Stars and Stripes floating from his house today and his subscription to the Liberty Loan in the hands of his banker or other authorized agent, every American can look the world in the face and ask nb odds of anyone.
German reservists who rushed to Mexico are being treated coldly by the Germans, there. The invasion from Mexico bubble has burst.
Pity the poor, slacker who seeks to change the election registration or naturalization records in" order to es cape military service.
The kaiser's birthday comes on the day the salte of Liberty bonds closes. It might be well to send the Prussian the result.
German business men predict peace three weeks. They once predicted the capture of Paris in three weeks, also.
Returns from the war registrations are as slow as those from a close election.
A Liberty patriotism.

This should be a fortunate day since Jupiter, the sun, Saturn, Neptune, Mercury and Venus are all in benefic aspect, and Mars alone is adverse.
According to the reading of the stars all lines of activity should benefit today under the malefic power of Mars, which indicates progress In whatever pertains to the part of the United States in the war.
After a month a readjustment of social and industrial conditions swill be apparent, and many enterprises at first affected unfavorably will prosper.
The planets give promise of a new phase of Americanization in which persons, of every nationality will be welded in the common cause of democracy, but they presage changes quite different. from those anticipated by the conservative thinkers of press and pulpit.
Under this sway of the stars women should accomplish much. They have the forecast of great possibilities through a new unity of effort and growth of efficiency.
The prophets declare that suffrage, prohibition, and other reforms will be brought about in -a manner that will appear but the natural order of the new era, which is beginning with the shedding of blood and tears.
Indication of peace overtures which will seem to give promise of suocess the latter pdrt of July or the beginning of August is discovered even by astrologers who do not expect the war to end for at least two years.
Wisconsin comes under a rule of the stars that seems to indicate great honor for its people through patriotism and loyal service. There is a sign making for sensational events.
Paradoxes will be apparent In many quarters during the remainder of the year. While the government will experiment with many principles of socialism practical in wartime, the socialists may express dissatisfaction and discontent.
Persons whose birthdate it is probably will have a happy and prosperous year.
Children born on this day should be fortunate in all their life ventures. Girls'" have the augury of happy marriage. Both boys and girls should h^.ve many talents.

To load (continued). If kneeling or sitting, the position of the piece is similar if kneeling, the left forearm rests on the left thigh If sitting the elbows ai-e supported by the knees. If lying down, the left hai\d steadies and supports the piece at the balance, the toe of the butt rests on the ground, the muzzle oft the ground.
For reference, these positions (standing, kneeling and lying down) are designated as that of load.
For instruction in loading: 1. Simulate. 2. Load. Execute as above described except that the cut-off remains "off" and the handling of the cartridge is simulated.
The recruits are first taught to simulate loading and firing after a few lessons dummy cartridges may be used, Later, blank cartridges may be used.
The rifle may be used as a single loader by turning the magazine "off." The magazine may be filled in whole or in part while "off" or "on" by pressing cartridges singly down and back until they are in proper place. The use of the rifle as a single loader is, however, to be regarded as exceptional. CAPT. A. L. KEESDING.

Plans for the addition of a foundry department "to the Boys' Vocational school were made at the regular meet* ing of 'the board of school trustees, held Friday evening.
