Boost the Labor Day Send-Off Wayne county has set aside Labor Day for the farewell reception to the men selected for the national army. Only three weeks are left for preparation and working out of. details. The most significant thinf about the day will be the spirit with which the community enters into its observance. The committee ha3 accepted the slogan, "Send Him Away With a Smile." Mothers and fathers, brothers- and sisters, want to practice this motto until they can exe:ute it in deed as well as say it in words. The. national army which the United States will send abroad will be actuated by the highest .deals to fight for the perpetuation of democracy. Its young men will be imbued with that idea. The reception here should bring out every patriot. The young fighters will enter upon their ;raining with a fine morale if they know from xperience that the whole community is back of Ihem. This feeling can be aroused by a' large ittendance at the reception. . A Bit of Consideration Notice to Readers. When' you finish, reading 'this nagazlne place a one cent stamp on this notice, hand !anw to any postal employe and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers or sailors at the front." No wrapping, bo address. A. S. Burleson, Postmaster General.

Did you read this notice on the magazine that came to hand this week ? What did you do with the magazine ? Are you going to throw it away? Afar off in France, thousands of our boys are homesick for news from home. The magazine that you send may be the means of giving new impulse and new energy to a weary boy. This token of love and consideration will cost you only one cent. Do not overlook this bit of kindness, every time you are through with a magazine.

Red Cross Fair Play Many questions have arisen as to the attitude of the American Red Cross toward Germans wounded on the battlefield, and also toward Americans of German origin affiliating themselves with Red Cross hospital units going abroad. To make clear the attitude of the Red Cross, Henry P. Davison, chairman of the War Council, authorizes the following statement: When war was declared between the United States and Germany, the neutrality of the American Red Cross of course ended automatically. The American Red Cross can co-operate only behind the lines of the armies of the United States and its allies. But the Red Cross knows no such thing as the nationality of a wounded man. Any wounded enemy turned over to the care of the. American Red Cross will receive as kindly treatment as any friend. The Red Cross will not only extend every aid and comfort to the armies of American and its allies, but it will assist in every possible way the sick, .wounded and afflicted among the civilian populations among our allied countries. This is in conformity with the practice of the Red Cross Society in every country. As to the policy of the Red Cross in this country toward those of German origin: The Red Cross knows no difference and makes no distinction between any American citizen. Insofar as base hospital units are concerned, the Red Cross equips and enlists the personnel of those to be sent to Europe to operate not only with our own armies but with those of our allies. Once enlisted and mustered into service, these units become part of the : Army of the United States, and there is of course no discrimination by the Red Cross or the 'American Army against any loyal Americal citizen, no matter of what natonal origin. Our allies in Europe, however, have requested the American State Department not to permit persons born in enemy countries, or of parents born in an enemy country, to travel as civilians in any of the "Allied countries. Representations, however,' have been made .by the Red Cross, which it is. hoped will ultimately prove effective, whereby loyal American citizens on Red Cross service, may be exempted from the operation of this rule, no matter what the country of their origin. . ' . The Red Cross wants it clearly understood that it welcomes the co-operation of every loyal American, and that it does not 'regard that loyalty as measured by the country of his origin.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Hill was transformed' into a veritable garden of yellow and white blossoms and greenery Thursday afternoon for the marriage of their daughter, Dora, and Mr. Arthur Haisley, of Columbus, Ohio, which was celebrated at two o'clock. The room chosen for the ceremony was arranged with a pyramid of yellow and white bloseoma and grenery and about the rooms were huge bouquets of the same flowers. Miss Marie Elwell of Milton, Indiana, a chum of the bride, played the 'Bridal Chcrus" from Lohengrin for the entrance of the wedding party. The impressive ring ceremony was read by Rev. 'Mr. Bass, pastor of the

Christian church. Little Helen Moody, 1

niece of the bride, attired in a dainty white frock, carried the ring in a rosebud. The bride was very beautiful in an elegant dark blue jacket suit with black velvet hat, and her flowers were a corsage bouquet of bride's roses and valley lilies.' Mr. and Mrs. Haisley will be the guests of relatives in Terre Haute for a few days before going to their home at Columbus, O. The bride was formerly connected with the Lynn schools and for the

past three years has been a valued :

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT The wrong done yesterday makes today go hard with you.

To the man who's "down and out" there is no fear of falling; it's j'our job to help him "up and

in again.

Reputation, if bad, is very troublesome; it takes so much time keeping the neighbors from attacking and injuring it further. Every one of the 10,600 copies of the Palladium that is printed tomorrow will be the bearer of your business message if you use a Want Ad to tell folks how you can serve them.

You are called to serve as a soldier in the National Army, because that is one of your obligations as a citizen of the United States. The citizens of a republic must always be ready in the hour of need to leave their own homes and take up arms in defense of their rights and principles. Otherwise the Republic could not long continue to exist. The men who now enter military service deserve the respect and gratitude of their fellow citizens. You are doubtless making a heavy sacrifice in order to perform this duty to your country. Hundreds of thousands of other young men and their families are face to face with similar sacrifices. AH our citizens will sooner or later be called upon, each to bear his or her share of the burden. Men and women, rich and poor, all alike must do whatever is necessary and must give up whatever is necessary. For no personal interests or feelings can be permitted to stand n the way at a time when the safety and honor of the country are at stake. As a citizen soldier you are chosen for a post of special distinction. America is just proud of the soldiers of the past who have won for us the rights, today denied and put in serious danger by the high-handed attacks of the German government. America will be no less proud of you, as you fight to uphold those rights. Your personal responsibility is '. great. As warfare is today conducted, the individual soldier counts for more than ever before. Your own skill and bravery, no matter how humble your rank, may easily be important factors in deciding whether an engagement is to be won or lost. You can not depend upon anyone else to carry this personal responsibility for you; you must depend upon yourself. SOME AMERICAN SOLDIERS Americans are well-fitted to meet this test. During the Civil war, at the battle of Antietam, th 7th Maine Infantry lay, hugging the ground, under a furious storm of shot and shell. Private Knox, who was a wonderful shot, asked leave to move nearer the enemy For an hour afterwards his companions heard his rifle crack every few minutes. His commanding officer finally, from curiosity, "crept forward to see what he was doing, and found that he had driven every man away from one section of a Confederate battery, tumbling over gunner after gunner as they came forward to fire. At the end of an hour or so. a piece of shell took off the breech of his pet rifle, and he returned disconsolate; but after a few minutes he gathered three rifles that were left by wounded men and went back again." In the Confederate armies individual soldiers were no less skillful, cool and brave. On both sides they were Americans.Here are a few cases quoted from official records. You must read between the lines to get the full benefit of the stories they tell of resourcefulness and courage. On June 9, 1S62, Private John Gray, 5th Ohio Infantry, "mounted on an artillery horse of the enemy and captured a brass 6-pound piece, in the face of the enemy's fire, and brought it to the rear." On October 12, 1S63, Private Michael Dougherty, 13th Pennsylvania Cavalry, "at the head of a detachment of his company, dashed across an open field, exposed to a deadly fire from the enemy, and succeeded in dislodging them fipm an unoccupied house, which he and his comrades defended for several hours against repeated attacks, thus preventing the enemy from flanking the position of the Union forces." From May 8 to 11, 1S64, Private John B. Lynch, 3d Indiana Cavalery, "carried important dispatches from the President to General Grant, passing through the enemy's country, escaping capture, delivered his messages and returned to Washington with replies thereto." On April 27. 1899, Private Edward White, 20th Kansas Infantry, during a fight with insurgents in the Philippine Islands, "swam the Rio Grande de Pampanga in face of the enemy's fire and fastened a rope to the unoccupied trenches, thereby enabling the hand combat and destroying the enemy." In all these cases medals of honor

were granted. The incidents, . how

ever, are typical of. the army. Thousands of similar stories might be told. They represent the spirit that will inspire the National Army when the time comes to show the stuff of which tion." . On May 6, 1900, Private William P. Maclay, 43d U. S.. Volunteer Infantry, "charged an occupied bastion, saving the life of an' officer in a hand-to-crossing of the river and the driving of the enemy from 'his fortified posiit is made. Tales of heroic courage can be found in the annals of all armies and of all nations. But the American Army has its own special tradition, which these incidents illustrate. It is the tradition of intelligence, selfreliance, and individual daring on the part of men serving in the ranks. THE INDIVIDUAL SOLDIER COUNTS Other things being equal, an army made up of self-reliant, thinking men has a great advantage over a merely machine-like army, and this is especially true in present-day warfare. Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. Chief of Staff, U. S. A., remarks on this point: "The conditions under which modem wars are fought are ever making increasing demands oh the individual soldier. The individual soldier must know how to interpret accurately orders and signals, for the enemy's fire may often so isolate him from his leader and comrades, perhaps only a step away, that he may be thrown on his own initiative In making his actions conform to those of the whole line; he may have to use his own judgment in opening fire, in advancing in intrenching. FAIR PLAY A second tradition of the American Army, which need only be mentioned, is that of fighting fairly and treating even the enemy with as much humanity as. his own conduct will permit. As for slaughtering or enslaving the civilian population of captured territory, attacking prisoners or assaulting women, American soldiers would as little "commit such crimes in time of war as in time of peace. In this respect most of the civilized nations of the world think alike. . FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS AND PRINCIPLES There is a third splendid tradition of the American Army which you will help to carry forward. It has fought

always and everywhere in defense of principles and rights never merely for territory and for power. Even the Civil war resulted from the clash of opposing principles the principle of

an. indivisible Union upheld by the

North, and that of freedom to with

draw from the Union upheld by the South. .

To protect the rights of citizens, the

American people have several times

opposed tyrannical governments-the

English government in 1776 and 1812,

the French government for a short

period in 1798, the Mexican govern

ment in 1848, the Spanish government

in 189S. The final effect in each case has been to advance the cause of liberty and democracy throughout the world, even in the countries against which we fought. Our weapons have

not willingly been turned against any

peoples, but only against .the rulers who misgoverned and misled them. In fighting for our own rights, the American Army has fought also, in Presi

dent Wilson s phrase, for -the "rights

of mankind.

For a like high purpose, the Ameri

can people have entered into the pres

ent war against the German government a government which in our belief misrepresents and misleads the German people. Only by so doing can we make America and the world "safe for democracy." But one ending can be thought of an ending that will guarantee the continuance of all those principles and rights which the American Army has in the past so nobly fought to establish. Never lose sight, even for an instant, of the fact that all your training, your efforts, and your sacrifices have this one great object in view, the attainment of which is worth anything it may cost.

FRENCH FRONT, Aug. 13. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Smoke producers to hide the posit

ions of batteries are in general usej

since the spring of this year in the.

German artillery operating on the Franco-British front. An order issuerl in connection with their employment was found recently in a artillery emplacement captured by the French. It gave details of the method in which the smoke-producers were to be used, as follows: "These smoke-producers (Nebeltoepfe) should be placed in position at a distance of at least 250 yards from the battery in the direction from which the wind is blowing and there should be intervals of eight yards between them. "Emplacements for the smoke-producers should be prepared all around the battery in order that their positions may be changed rapidly in case the direction of the wind should turn. " "Use should be made of the smokeproducers as soon as the enemy begins

POLISH GENERAL RELEASED BY FOE

LONDON, Aug. 13. An Exchange Telegraph Company dispatch from Amsterdam announces that, pursuant to instructions from Berlin and Vienna, Brigadier General Pilsudski, of the Polish legion, will be released from detention by the German authorities in Poland. His release is conditional on his going to Switzerland and remaining there until the war ends. A Copenhagen dispatch July 25, said General Pilsudski, organizer and former commander cf- the Polish legioni:, had been arrested by the German authorities while attempting to leave Poland on a false passport. General Pilsudski'a attempted flight arose from the differences, the dispatch added, between the Poles who wish to form an Independent Polish army and theGerman authorities who

insist that the P01i6h forces must Dei

under German control.

No Passports Will ; Be Given Out for Stockholm Meeting WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Any application for a passport for a delegate to the consultative conference at Stockholm will be refused. The attitude of this government toward the conference is no different' from that towards the recent Socialist conference in Stockholm. State department officials continue to regard as untimely participation In any conference of that character at this time, and if British delegates do go and learn at first hand the statements of representatives from other countries they will of course be mads available for this government.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 13. It is not quite clear why the German censor banned beginning June 25 political articles in the Frankfurter Zeitung. The embargo, which is understood to have been already raised, was imposed, as the Reichstager VonPayer explained, on . account of a series of articles by" Professor Max Weber of Heidelberg. .

GIVE MANY IRON CROSSES

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 13. That 2,200,000 iron crosses of the second class and 49,000 of the first class have been awarded during the war is shown by announcements published in Berlin which have been received here. Of this number 3,660 were conferred upon individuals "behind the front," but it is certain that the number of persons wearing the decorations who have never been under fire is even larger.

NAME ROSE FOR HEROINE

PARIS, Aug. 13. The "Emilienne Moreau" one of the new roses that won a prize in the annual competition at the Bagatelle Rose Gardens, was named after the heroine of Loos, ths girl who helped save British wouded under fire and even shouldered a rifle to help the eoldiers drive the Germans from the town in the great battle which resulted in its capture. It is a magnificent white rose with very large petals and with a foliage of a very deep green.

LONDON, Aug. 13. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Viscount Bryce, former British Ambassador to the United States, has written a letter to E. C. Carter, secretary for France and England of the Young Men's Christian Association, commending the work of that organization among the soldiers of the Entente Allies and suggesting that the American association will be able to render the greatest possible service to the American expeditionary forces.
