IOWA BOY KILLED
BY GERMANS

Merle d. Hay. one of the three SOL
diers slain in the first battle of U.
S. forces with the Germans. was born
in Carroll county. He was about
20 years of age.
He was one of eight boys from
Glidden and vicinity who enlisted in
the regular army at Des Moines last
June soon after President Wilson'S
call for men issued They were in
France within two months after en-
listing.
The Hay family is one of the best
known in Carroll county. They have
resided there and near Coon Rapids
for many years Merle d. Hay was
the oldest son and assisted his father
in farming. The Hay home is one
mile west of Glidden.
A patriotic meeting of sympathy
for the Hay family was held at the
Presbyterian church. Mayor r. A.
Hamilton presiding and Rev. Fan
cher of the Methodist and Rev. Park
er of the Presbyterian making ad-
dresses. Special music also made up
a part of the program.

BELIEVE HIM NOT

In a country with its La Follettes
and its Pettigrews and its pro-Ger-
mans of lesser degree. it should oc-
casion no surprise when the discov-
cry is made that there are certain
persons working Systematically to
discredit the work of organizations
and of individuals engaged in tasks
calculated to help the men of the
armies become more efficient and
more comfortable.
From St. Paul come news of the
first systematic attack on the Red
Cross in the northwest. Tie story
was told that certain woman had
knitted a sweater for her son, a SOL
der with the expeditionary forces in
France. Taking it to the Red Cross
headquarters, she was assured the
sweater would be forwarded prompt
ly to her son. The story went that
a day or two later she met a SOL
der downtown wearing the sweater,
which she was able to identify pos
itively, and the soldier informed her
he had purchased it from the Red
Cross for 5000
The story was given considerable
publicity and no doubt did much
harm TO the work in St. Paul before
the Red Cross women were able to
prove, through the alleged victim
herself, that she had never even de
livered a sweater to the chapter.
1t is such stories as this, told with
convincing attention to detail, where
actual names and places are used
which do the greatest harm. They
must be guarded against by the pa
triotic citizen. The enemy has his
friends in this country. as in every
country, and no effort is considered
too small in the campaign to create
distrust and lower the efficiency of
those who are seeking to ameliorate
war for our isoldiers.-iSoux City
