Incident of the War.

London, March 13.-The follow
ing sidelight on war was seen on a
London street today. A British Of
ficer, carrying His arm in sling,
was preparing to step of street car
when young woman, dressed in
deep mourning, baby in her arms,
stepped on the platform. The child
cried Daddy" with embarrassing
enthusiasm on seeing the officer. The
passengers giggled, the officer blush
ed but tears rushed into the eyes of
the young widow. In an instant the
tragedy of war was revealed to ev-
erybody. The wounded officer drew
himself up stiffly and saluted the
baby. This tribute to the dead faith
err froze any further merriment and
the incident was closed.

TO HIT THE HIGH
COST o or LIVING
Cleveland Socialists Plan a Direct
Assault by Buying at
Wholesale.

" Cleveland, March 11.-Cleveland
Socialists plan direct assault on
the high cost of living here tomor-
row by organizing a cooperative
company to distribute food and 9TH
er staples at Wholesale prices. It is
planned to join the 1000 Socialist
families here into compact organ
ization which will buy staple sup
plies through one warehouse, the
warehouse being financed by them
selves. Through this organization,
the Socialists hope to control more
than $1,000, 900 worth Of home sup
plies. The plan, it is figured, will
save the members about 100000 a
year.
The Bohemian Socialists organi-
cation, the pioneer in Cleveland in
cooperative buying, organized four
years ago with membership Of 165
families, will be used as the nucleus
Of the larger organization. To fin
ance the new organization stock will
be sold in IS and $40 shares.
It is not planned to open store.
Instead there will be a central ware
house. Routes for delivery will be
mapped and wagons and autos will
go out weekly to visit and restock
homes of members of the organiza-
ton. In England and Scotland sim
liar organizations have been in op-
Grafton for years and their annual
business runs into millions of dol
lars.

" Residents.

Humboldt, Ia, March 13.-Resi-
dents of Humboldt county are pre-
pairing to raise a reward for the man
capturing Gen. Francisco Villa. The
unusual interest taken by local peo-
pie in the capture of Villa is due to
the fact that James Dean, formerly
a Humboldt county farmer, was one
of those slain in the raid on Column
bus, N. NJ, Thursday.

bus. He was very popular when he
resided in this county and was plan

A PLEA FOR LITTLE
BABIES OF IRELAND
American Philanthropists viii Be
Asked to Help Them in Their
Time Of Need.

Washington, March 11.-As mid
night tonight ushers out National
Baby Week, it will usher in Irish
Baby Week, sponsored by the Mar
.quis and Warehouses of Aberdeen
and Temair.
Lord and Lady Aberdeen selected
the week Of st. Patrick's day in
which to ask help for Irish babies.
They want to drive disease among
the babies out of Ireland as st. Pat
rick banished the snakes.
While Irish fathers are dying on
the battlefields of France, their ba-
bies at home are succumbing to wars
companions, poverty and disease.
Lady Aberdeen herself has said that
the death rate among infants in Dub
lin since the war started has increas-
ed from 1872 per 1000 in the early
months of 1914, before the war, to
ISL per thousand in the correspond
ing months of 1915. This rate is
among babies under one year old.
The normal deat tn rate in Dublin is
about 14S a 1000.
To add to this there has been
marked decrease in the birth rate
Lady Aberdeen is president of the
Women's Health Association of Eng
land. She founded the organization
in 1907, soon after her husband
went to Ireland as viceroy.
During next week, Lady Aberdeen
and the members of the organization
will seek financial aid for the babies
of Ireland from American philan-
thropists and those Irish who have
prospered here. Lady Aberdeen has
as headquarters the Offices of the
Aberdeen Fund in America, los
East Twenty-second street, New
York.
''The babies must be saved for the
coming generation" said Lady Aber-
deem, speaking of the work. "T'he
other children must have their health
protected, if the strength and stam-
ina of Ireland as a nation is to con-
tinue"
In some of the cities visited by
Lord and Lady Aberdeen during
their tour of the United States,
treasurers for the fund have been
named. Among them are: John D.
Crimmins, New York; j. G. Heyer,
Boston; A. G. kains, San Francisco;
and John Joy Edison, Washington.

type Of sea fighters, many types in
fact, built for war and not for looks.
These ugly colored craft with mot
tied sides and daubed plates are
the ''babies'' of the fleet, infants
who have plunged their noses into
the sea without ceremony or public
ity.
The ship yards from whence they
came are turning out sister ships as
fast as men can put metal together.
No time is being wasted veneering
the officers cabins in mahogany or
to putting the painters touch on the
hull and super-structure. These
newest craft are just plain ugly, but
they embody all the latest kinds Of
efficiency for which naval construct
ors have the experience of the war
to thank.
The makeup of these fleet "ha-
bies" must remain q mystery until
after the war. In the meantime
they are the secret pride of the Brit
ish navy.

London, March 14.-There is a

money for the war as to compel peo-
pie to economize At any rate, this

INDIA IS LOYAL
TO GREAT BRITAIN
As Firm as the Rock of Gibraltar,
Says the United Press
g. .- s-. W sF-r, ...-r..
Correspondent. 49,,

London, United Press Correspond
emit Letter to Freeman-Tribune
March 7.--"What is the real truth
about India?" This question was
asked by the United Press today in
a quarter of official London in such
close touch with India; day by day,
that the answer cannot be regarded
as other than official. The answer
was:
India is as firm as the rock of
Gibraltar. -.
"The present war has served as
the supreme test of the stability of
British rule in India. There are
$50, 900 people in the Indian
Empire and consequently some strife
is inevitable, in times of peace as
well as in times of war. The respon-
sible heads of the various castles,
members of the Indian council, al
ways are critical of the government,
but they are as loyal as any British
statesman who criticizes his govern
ment on the floor of the House of
Commons.
AN example of this loyalty is
shown in the fact that the Indian
Council at the beginning Of the war,
agreed that India should shoulder a
heavy burden of the expense. In
dia is doing this, but the burden is
not forced by England, as has been
alleged The burden is assumed
Indian Princes, through
out the Empire have in many cases
voluntarily given large amounts
from their treasure stores to help
the home government. Indian ma
tive troops have gone to almost ev-
cry front and fought with tradition
al native vigor, bravely bearing all
the hardships of campaigning with
out murmur. ..~.
"The native of India today is
thoroughly loyal to King George v,
whom he looks upon as his King
Emperor. This is, not entirely due
to British rule in India. 1t is ex-
planned by the psychology of the ma
tive mind. Indians Of all castles be-
lieve Kings are made through the
workings of something more than
human Intelligence. A King, there
fore, who rules the Indians, whether
he is the King Emperor or native
king, does SO by reason of the fact
that he has been SO designated by
something akin to the supernatural.
The fact that a King rules India es-
tablishes in the native mind that
Kings right to rule.
IF midas 3SO,O00,OOO people
We're inclined to revolt, the time for
revolution would be during the
greatest war. Every Indian knows
this and still there has been no con-
certed. effort to break away from
British rule. ....
Indian man power and money
power will continue to aid Great
Britain Throughout the war and in
future wars if necessary. There is
nothing to worry about in India"

100000 RIFLES
CANNOT Be BOUGHT
Brazil Ensnared in Nasty Interna-
tional Tangle-President
Stands Pat.

Rio De Janero, United Press Let
ter to Freeman-Tribune, March IS.
-Four hundred thousand rifles
bought during President Hermes
Fonseca's administration, the anx-
iety of certain warning European
Powers to get these rifles and Presi-
dent Wenceslau Braz' strict ideas of
neutrality, have ensnared Brazil in
nasty international tangle.
When Brazil bought the rifles
three years ago Europe laughed. 1t
asked what Brazil's army Of ten
thousand men would do with 400
thousand rifles. But when the war
broke out, England and Russia es-
pecially, remembered and Immediate
ly approached certain members of
the official circle of Brazil and, it is
said, were assured they had reason
to hope the rifles would be on the
firing line "pronto' if not sooner
The assurers failed to consider
one man. President Braz takes his
duties seriously and President Braz
put his foot down on these hopes.
Nothing doing" said he, CON
trary to the laws of neutrality" To
make his refusal emphatic he dis
charged his secretary, Sr. Lafayette
de Carvalho, accused of being head
of the clique that promised to get
the rifles.
1t is said the British government
was not content to let the matter
