WOMEN ON COAST TRIP.
Federated Club Representatives to Send
Party Qxar Lincoln Highway.

F federated Club Representatives to Send
Party Over Lincoln Highway.
Due to the efforts Of Mrs. Lee G.
Boardman, advertising manager and
contributing editor of the General Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs Magazine of
New York City. a party Of representa-
tive women will leave New York some
time this summer for tour to the
Pacific coast over the Lincoln highway.
Mrs. Boardman has long been identified
with the cause of good roads and has
taken keen interest In the Lincoln
highway. It was partially due to her
efforts that the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs, with membership Of
over million women, took up the tre-
mendous but praiseworthy task of
identifying the Lincoln highway from
coast to coast.
With the idea Of arousing greater
interest in the work on the part of
the women Of tho country Mrs. Board
man has arranged the coming tour.
The trip will be leisurely one, fire.
quent stops being made and lantern
slide lectures given before different
bodies all across the country. Material
will also be collected for a series of In
teresting articles on the progress Of the
Lincoln highway work for a series of
interesting articles on the progress of
the Lincoln highway work for publica-
ton in the General Federation Maya
zine. The women have no official con-
nection with the Lincoln highway assoc
citation, but will make the trip solely
because of their interest in the work
and their desire to advance it's pro-
gress.

was thru a haze that we saw, at one

stopped US. In silence he picked up an
infantry tunic bloodstained and cut
into ribbons by shrapnel and his scis-
sors. From an inside pocket he drew

GERMANY PLAYING
FAIR, SAYS HOOVER
Chairman of Committee for Relief II
Belgium Says Supplies Arc Not
Being RequisitiOned.

London. Eng. March 2.-HerberL &.
Hoover. chairman of the American
Belgium relief committee, has issued a
statement, saying it is desired that Ger
tain facts be perfectly clear in the dis
cussiOns going on in the American
press with regard to the work OF the
commission. ...,
"Thc German authorities agreed with
us that there should be no further red
uisitions on foOdstuffs by the German
army in the occupied zone of BelS:9u
The occupied zones comprise the Whoie
of Belgium with the exception OF ter
ritory adjacent to the fighting line.
The German authorities have carried
out this understanding with scrupulous
care. There never has been any inter-
ference by them with fOOdstuffs i'm
ported by this commission, and the
whole of these fOdstuffs or their
equivalents has gone to the Belgian
civil population.
There were awkward situations IN
some localities; for instance, where
troops were billcted, and where Ger
man officers and soldiers were in pub
lie restaurants These difficulties were
solved by the issuance to this commits
sion by the Germans from their military
stores of a liberal 'quid pro quo.
without entering into any discus
sion of the right or wrong of requisi-
tioning foodstuffs from the civil popu-
lation during the early part of the &C
cupation of Belgium, I wish to point
out that as Belgium imports five-siXths
of her fOodStuffs, even had no such
requisitions been made. Belgium would
long since have been the sufferer"

Der from 100 900 to 100000 men, was
reported to have circled around from
Archangel, landed in Scottish ports and
been shipped through at night to rein
force the British force in France, orig
mated with lord Kitchener himself, ac-
cording to a statement made by a Brit
ish officer to a correspondent Of the
Daily Dispatch.
The Russian story, says the British
officer, was designed to impress the
German commanders in Belgium and
northern France and to keep them in
fear of a surprise either i'll the rear or
on the western flank. It accomplished
its purpose, for this dread was real
among the German staff, and accounts
to some extent for the retreat of Gen.
Won kluck from Paris.
To give color to the report, lord
Kitchener is said to have caused 100
transports laden with sundry goods to
be sent from Scottish ports to Arch
angel, after insuring them in Holland
