A Message
to High School
Graduates
, Under the above caption. P. P. Clax
ton of Washington, D. C. f comniission
-1 «*r of education, has addressed the fol
I lowing letter to the members of
: graduating classes of high sohcols
thruout the Fulled States:
' **Nearly a year ago. President Wil
son Haid: ‘lt would seriously impair
’ America's prospects of success in this
war if the supply of highly trained
! men were unnecessarily diminished.
1 would particularly urge upon
; young people who are leaving our
high schools, that as many of them
as can do so. avail themselves this
year of the opportunities offered by
the colleges and technical schools to
the end that the country may not lack
an adequate supply of trained men j
and women.**
( The president’s view was euiphat-.
ically .supported in public statements
by Secretary Baker. Secretary Lane. ,
the commissioner of education, and <
1 by nearly every national body of sci-!
entitle m«-n.
The War department now lormall>
recognises the essential military con- 1
tributlon toward the w inning of the |
war which must be rendered by the j
colleges and can be rendered by no!
other agency. It has just published*
the following order, which particular- 1
Iv incorporates the colleges into thej
military eetabliahmeat of the United i
States:
“ In order to provide military In- ■
struct ion for the college students of
the country during the present enter
, gency. a comprehensive plan will be
put in effect by the War department
beginning with the next college year..
in September. ISIS. The details re- :
! main to be worked out. but In general \
i the play will be as follows:
’Military instruction under officers
■ and non commissioned officer* of the
army will be provided in every in-,
1 *t Button of college grade, which en
rolls for the instruction 100 or more
able-bodied students owr the age of
18. The neceesary military equip
roent will, so far as possible be pm- i
Tided by the government. There will
b«- created a military training unit in
, each institution. Enlistment will be '
. purely voluntary but all students over
the age Af 18 will be encouraged to
: enlist The enlistment wilt constitute
the student a member of the Army &
the United States, liable to active
duty at the call of the president. It
will, however, be the policy of the
Government not to call the member*
of the training units lo active duty!
until they haie reached the age of 21.
unless urgent military necessity com
pels sn earlier call Students under
• 18 and therefore not legally eligible
for enlistment, will be encouraged to
enroll in the training units Pro
vision will be mad** for co-ordinating 1
the Reserve Officers' Training Corps
system, which exists in about one
third of the collegiate institutions,
with this broader plan.
This new policy aims to accomp
lish a two-fold object: First to de
velop an a great military asset the
iarge body of young tnen in the col
leges; and Second —to pi event un
necessary and wasteful depletion of
the colleges through indiscriminate
volunteering, by offering to the stu
dent*, a definite and immediate mill
tsry statua.
I.at*-r announcements will be made
of the details of the new system. In
the meantime, presidents of collegiate
Institutions are requested to call this
matter to the attention of nil their
student*. Those who do not gradu
ate this spring should be urged to con
tintte their education and take advant
age of this new opportunity to serve
the nation.
There is now a double inducement
to young men graduating from the
high school to follow the president’s
earnest advice; not only will they be
preparing themselves to serve their
country in the most effective way. but
they will be members of the military
forces of the United States while se
curing this preparation.”

REV. FENN
SPEAKS FOR
PRESIDENT
Thursday night. President Wilson
■ speaking through 35,000 Four-Mi nute
-1 men of the country, delivered address
es to the American people. Rev. Don
.j Frank Penn represented the president j
; in Canon City and delivered the mes
| sage at the Jones theatre, as lollows:
j “You are met, my fellow citizens,
j to commemorate the signing of that
1 Declaration of Independence which
marked the awakening of a new spirit
in the lives of nations Since the birth
of our republic, we have seen this
spirit grow. We have heard the de
i mand and watched the struggle for
self-government spread and triumph
; among many peoples We have come
| to regard the right to political liberty
j as the common right of humankind,
i Y ear after year, within the security ;
i of our borders. we have continued to
I rejoioe in the peaceful increase of
' freedom and democracy throughout
the world. And yet now. suddenly, wc
j ure confronted with a menace which
’ endangers everything that we have
won and everything that the world has
I won.
| In all its old insolence, with all ita
; ancient cruelty and injustice, military'
| autocracy has again armed itself
> against the paciiic hopes of men.
| Having suppressed self-government
j among its own people by an organize .
I lion maintained in part by falsehood]
j and treachery , it has set out to im j
pose its will upon its nc-ighbora and j
upon us. One by one, it has compelled j
every civilized nation in the world.
; either to forego its aspirations or to i
declare war In their defense. We find i
ourselves fighting again for our na-,
tional existence. We are face to face j
with the necessity of asserting anew ,
the fundamental right of free men to j
make their own law* and choose their j
■ own allegiance, or else permit human
By to become the victim of a ruthless
ambition that is determined to de
stroy what it can not master.
Against its threat the liberty lov
mg people of the world have risen
and allied themselves. No fear has
j deterred them, and no bribe of mu
i terlal well-being has held them back.
They have made sacrifices such as |
the world has never known before,*
and their rcsfttance in the face of j
death and suffeYing has proved that
the aim which animates the German
effort can never hope to rule the spir- i
jit of mankind. Against the horror of
military conquest, against the empti
ness of living in mere bodily content
ment, against the desolation of becom
ing part of a State that knows neither
truth nor honor, the world has so re
volted that even people long dorni- '
nated and suppressed by force, have
, now begun to stir and arm them
selves.
j Centuries of aubjugation hav# not
destroyed the racial aspirations of the
many distinct peoples of eastern
Europe, nor have they accepted the j
sordid ideals of their political and mill
tary masters. They ha\e survived'
the slow persecutions of peace as well j
ks the agonies of war and now demand
recognition for their just claims to
autonomy and self-government. Rep
resentative* of these races are with
you today, voicing their loyalty to our
ideals and offering their services in 1
the common cause. 1 ask you. fellow
j citixens. to unite with them in tnaking
: thh» our Independence Day the first
’ that shall be consecrated lo a declar
ation of Independence for all the peo
; pies of the world.”
NEW FILLING STATION OPENS.
A new enterprise for Canon City j
was opened for business Tuesday by
Mr. Jewel and Mr. Y’ockey. It Is the
filling station of the Colorado Service
company, on the corner of Bth and |
Main streets.
Rivaling California’s noted and
beautiful stations In Its style of build i
ing and grounds, the Colorado Service
station will be talked of as being up j
to date In every particular.
The building is constructed of
brick, with the supply and stock room
of accessories and tirea encloaed on j
three sidea by glass. Typical to this]
type of building a long roofed per- j
gola runs opt from the front and af- j
fords shelter for two machines at one
time. Cement drives into the sta
tion from both Bth street and Main
street. At night the building and
(.rounds art* brilliantly lighted with
numerous electric lights to such good
effect that the four corners at Bth
and Main streets are brought out of
the shadow.
A feature of the new filling Station
will be their High Test Gas which is
syphoned directly Into their storage
tank by a pipe line, without coming
In contact with the air.
MV. Y’ockey and Mr. Jewel are both
very pleasant gentlemen and they
atari their now venture with the /ell
wishes of all for continued success.
