AMERICA'S NEED IS PATRIOTISM i

!Rev james l Gardiner Urges i 3 All Men to Stand by President. 4 America's reat need of the hour is a patriotism that compels every citizen of the republic, no matter born, to be ready to spend w nere t)orn. to ne reany to spenu Ji is last dollar and to shed his last drop earn of blood for the nation to the war to a victorious end. That in ubstance is the burden of

the address of Rev, James D. dard-;i.s

iner, pastor of St. Paul's M. R. church, delivered at the nooday luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce Monday. Dr. (iardiner called upon every man present to do his part in putting down Prussianism. He urged everyone to stand hy the president's war program, and to give unqualified loyalty to the defense of the nation. Choosing for his subject "Patriotism, the (Jreat Need of tho Hour," Dr. (Jardiner aid: "We as a nation are engaged in a great struggle in defense of tho indefeasible rights of democracy and freedom. And what is the great need of the hour? It is that true spirit of patriotism which will lead us to stand loyally by the program of the president and his counsellors. It is that unselfish devotion which will cause us no matter where we were born to give ourselves with unquestioned, unqualified and unremitting active loyalty to the defense of the Stars and Stripes. "The great need of the hour is a patriotism which compels us to dedicate ourselves, our substance and our service to the triumph of human rights and liberty. It is that kind of patriotism which demands that every citizen of the United States be ready to give his last dollar and shed his last drop of blood to save our beloved nation from tho dangers of military despotism to the high and noble principles of democ racy and freedom. " '(lod hath sounded forth his trumpet that shall never call retreat.' There is only one way for the American nation to go now and that is forward to a righteous victory. We have put our hand to the plow and we must not look back. We must no fail. If we fail now it seems to me Goj would be justified in taking away our birthright and giving it to another more worthy and noble. "If England had not stepped out when she did to save trampled Belgium and help make the world safe for democracy, then England would have been doomed and dammed. By helping save another England is saving herself. And I repeat unless the American nation does not step boldly out and do her part then we the richest, ami up to this time, the freest republic in the world, will be doomed and dammed, because without heroic blood and heroic soul there can be no permanent national life or character. "I call upon every man here to do his part. Prussianism must be crushed. Militarism must die. That evil autocracy that has been characterized by every wrong in the catalog of crime from the sinking of the Lusitania down to the sinking of th Tuscania, must be annihilated forever. Cod wills it. His world must bo made safe and free." THAN ESTIMATED Now Believed There Are 2,000 German Subjects in South Bend.

There are two purposes behind the war savings society scheme.

Each society will be furnished by Washington with a handsome certificate suitable for framing, statins that it is a duly authorized war savings society and affiliated w'th the national war savings organization.

IVIPILE EGG DATA

N RECORD FLOCK

One Hen Lays 252 Eggs Year Value of Early Hatching Shown. in News -Times Sjecül Service: LAFAYI'TTE, Ind.. Feb. U. Four years apo all ill e chirk h in every Indian.! barnlot cackled and crowed with excitement and many old hens almost turned green with envy when the state was informed that Miss Purdue, a White leghorn hen at Purdue university, had btid 2'2'J eggs the year she was a iullt and 214 eggs in a year after she had attained henhood. Now. even Miss Purdue might turn over in her crave if she only knew how her grandchildren are "showing her up" at the egg-laying game. More confusion will reign in barnyard social circles when news of these new egg-laying feats is noised about. Four of Miss Purdue's grandchildren, children of John Purdue and a son of the famous Miss, have outclassed their grandmother, while 23 of these grandchildren, all of which were early-hatched in late March or early April have averaged 191 eggs during their pullethood. Data showing ths remarkable record was compiled this week by Prof. A. O. Philips, head of the Purdue poultry department. This achievement shows the value of early hatching which is being advocated by state and national poultrymen. . In 1913, the year after Miss Furdue rose to fame, one of her granddaughters, Iady Purdue, laid T. 2 eggs. This means that on only 1 working days that year, Lady Purdue was not busy. Miss Purdue IL, a 191 S pullet, produced 24 4 eggs her first yea- on the joh. Thus the "laying qualities" of the mother "May be visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generations." For this entire lock of 2 3 birds during the years they were pullets, the feed cos- was only ? 20.2 " while the proceeds derived from their eggs at the regular market price during the sime period was $116. Ancient axiom The hen is the only creature that will raise a mortgage by "Just laying around." Indiana Scene of Many Gatherings News-Times SpeW.il Service: INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11.

China's President Says He Is Too Weak For The Job

PEKING. WedneMiav. Feb. 0 Pt'tö't Fen-: Kwo-Chang. i: a iem.irkable mandate issued !Jjy. bitterly reproacned himself for the country's political troubles. He declared be was too weak for the burden imposed upon him ar.d forecast his retirement from the presidency a ä soon as ordr is restored "t the time of the uprising; in Hunan last vcar." tb president slid, "the cabinet advocated a militant policy. Though I gave my approval. I always have considered the ditheulty of the situation and been inclined to peace. 1 have r.ot publicly declared war and this accounts for the present trouble.'' The president cited defections by generals and reverses to th" north ern troops, Nvhieh he .-ail have' "damaged the nation's dignity and that, therefore, ministers, one after another have resigned. "At that time." the mandate continued. "I should have upheld law by inspiring the army to fight, but the Hunan authorities telegraphed that hostilities had been suspended and the Kwangtung othcials promised to cancel their declaration of independence. Taking their Nvords at their face value. I suspet ted that war might be averted at the 11th hour " The president then analyzed the causes of the people's misery, placing the blame tirst upon Fu Liang Tio, former governor of Hunan, who deserted and others who failed to do their duty. "As the central government has not acted properly," said the president, "I examine myself and feel that I have many defects. I appointed Fu Liang Tio and others without carfullv examining their conduct, so I am guilty of ignorance of men. I ordered the negotiations for peace while the rebels were triumphant. I offered easy terms in an effort to satisfy the popular desire, so that I am lacking in foresight. My effort to save fitm misery brought misery; my hope to save the situation resulted in mote confusion. "Toleration brings undesirable results, so that I cannot make others believe in my sincerity. 1 am too weak for the burden and cannot escape public blame a-nd condemnation for being guilty in many ways. I dare not hold my high position in opposition to public censure, but the tenure of ofbee is ordered by virtue of the constitution and cannot be easily et aside. Moreover, hostilities have been resumed in Hupeh and it behooves me to continue helping the cauce. "When order is restored and the populace relieved, I shall retire, full of gratitude into the country." 3 MANISTEE OFFICIALS RESIGN UNDER FIRE Ncxx s-Tiaie Sfiei ial Srvi' .-' MANISTKE. Mich.. Feb. U. City Mgr. Charles F. Rugep, City Clerk Harry Bickell and City Assessor Chris R. Jentoft resigned Saturday at the behest of the city commission. Roger's and Riekell's resignationrs are effective May 1, and Jentoft's immediately. Lack of harmony is the principal reason for the upheaval. The city manager and clerk have long refused to exchange greetings, and the assessor was in disfavor with the putdio. The fact that the city manuirer is not an engineer has been held against him. The city commission's demand for the resignations came unexpectedly. Thri ats of recall again.-t the entire commission unless a hang.- wer-! made are thought to h;ive been re- j sponsible for the suddem-.-ss of the commission's demand. j I I JACKSON MAN GETS LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER Nexx s -Tirr;e- Sp.-r i.il Serri -: !
