STATE OF MICHIGAN
Voting $5,000,000 To  Raise   And
•Equip Troops.
Pre*. Wilson appeared before tbe
extra session or Con press on Tuesday
and called noon the legislative branch
Of tbe government to declare that a
state of war exists with Germany,
i and pledging bim all the resources of
ibis conntry to bring tbe war to a
speedy and successful termination.
Action was expected the following
day by botb Senate aod House of
Representatives, and it is more tban
likely tbat as tbis is read, tbe United
States will be at war. The cabinet
bas already approved tbe plan for
calling 1,200,000 men into the service
of tbe U S., wbich will bring the
regular service and the national
guard np to war strength and provide
an army of 500.000 additional. It is
probable that there will be no trouble
in secnringthatnnmberof volunteers,
although the president recommended
that some form of universal military
service be provided for.
Financial aid wi'l be tendered to
tbe Allies, a note having been already
dispatched, it is saio, Kskini; Franc-
and England how we can best assist
tbem. As has been pointed out, this
is tbe most valuable aid that this
conutry can give to the Entente tor
present, and will enable them to press
the War still more vigorously. However, it is official')' stated that tbis
government will take an active part
in combating the U-boat menace,
and will no douubt send a fleet of
submarine destroyers across the
water as soon as such boats are
properly fitted out and manned.
Gov. Sleeper proroetly sent a
special message to our Michigan legislature asking that a loan of 85,000,-
•00 bejorovided for, to cover the cost
of recruiting, mobilizinlf*, and equipping of soldiers, the care cf depend-
• ents of enttsted men. etc No delay
was expected in gettiDg snch a bill
through both bouses.
Nearly e\ery*>ne in this section

ybars labored tndustrioiiM) in tbe
Sunday School cause tbrouirbout the
oonntlesof Isabella, Midland, Gladwin
and Clare. Falling hea.th however,
compelled him to give up tbe work
some months ago. Now a younger
man comes on the scene, full ot zeal
and enthusiasm to carry on the work
wbich Mr. Petershans was compelled
to lay down.

There ls a little story of a wise

should erect a monument over tbe
spot where Baron Von Kettler was
shot, and that sbe should Bend a representative to Germany to apologize
to the Emperor of Germany. Prince
Ch'en only 18 years old brother of
the Emperor, was selected for this
mission. When he reached Germany, it was made known to him by
the German Emperor, that be should
appear before him and perform tbe
kow-tow and make his apology in
tbis attitude This was more tban
Piince Ch"en could swallow. He was
immediately taken ill and went to

hardly drag a sick mac into his presence. Prince Ch'en persistently remained ill till seame inilueotiai friends

would return to China without mak-

of the earth, should be asked to prostrate herself and grove! in the dust
