HOLDS GERMANS PENSIONS
Four Hundred Veterans Can't Get
Money From United States.

Payment OF pensions to 400 veter-
ans and widows OF veterans Of the
civil war living in Germany has been
stopped by the Pension Bureau.
Commissioner OF Pensions Saltzga-
her explained that the payments had
been suspended because of lack of
postal facilities and not because of
the possibility OF war, though it Is
realized that some portion of the
pension money might find its way
INTO the war chest of the German
government.
The January quarterly payment has
not yet been made because of the
difficulty OF communication with
Germany. Previous 20 that payment,
vouchers had been sent by the State
Department to Germany. The sub
marine Deutschland on its first trip
brought back many of these vouch.
ers payable in gold, and took back
gold.

TEN MILLION FUND
TO AID U. S, NAVY
Col. Thompson Announces Re-
cruits Will Be Paid on Basis
of Civil Incomes.

A naval relief fund for families OF
United States sailors has been estab-
Iished by the Navy League of the
United States. The fund, $1o,0Oo,OOO.
will be raised by the 1000 branches
of the league. This was announced
last night by Col. Robert N. Thomp-
son, president of the Navy League,
following a speech in Continental
Memorial Hall by Sir Herbert b.
Ames, member of the Canadian par
lament and organizer OF a Canadian
relief fund.
The purpose is to urge enlistment
in the navy in response to the Pres
ident's call for 10000 volunteers. The
fund will pay the difference between
the recruits present salary and the
Government pay of sailors.
Sir Herbert Ames last night de-
scribed how Canada "did her Bit In
the war.
At Front TIL War Ends.
Canada has recruited since the be-
ginning of the war" he said, 800
900 fit men and 21 900 reservists, and
there are more than 100000 OF these
now on the fighting line. They will
be kept there until the end Of the
conflict.
"The government OF Canada has
expended sb25, ,O00, 900, and the debt
per head, which was $42 at the begin
ming Of the war, has increased TO $50.
There are as many. men working
in the 366 munitions factories in Can
ada today as there are at the front.
These men send to Britain each
month s25, ,OO0. 900 worth of munitions.
"If the United States had entered
the war when Canada did" he con-
tinued, "and had put forth her efforts
In the same ratio. this country would
have enlisted more than 100000 men
and sent at least 100000 to the
trenches.
"The people of Canada have learned
that IL they want to maintain their
free institutions they must fight for
them"
Sees Turning Point.
Commodore A. Jarvis, Of the Cana
dian naval recruiting committee, also
spoke.
"I have come TO speak to the Amer
ican people," he said, because real
ize that any effort on the part Of the
United States will be the turning
point OF the great struggle.
THE patriotic fund started in Can
ada has been the incentive for thou
sands of men to join the navy, be-
cause they knew their families would
be cared for. II the United states
goes to war, there will be at least
one compensation, and that IL, IL will
cement the people into a nation as II
did the Canadians"
Sir Herbert Ames and Commodore
Jarvis. will leave tonight for South
Carolina to make several addresses.

About the only danger that
could threaten the success of our
arms in the war upon which this
country IS launched would be a
minimizing Of the importance of
the work before us.
After almost three years of war,
after pouring out blood and trea-
sure until nearly bankrupt in
both, the allied nations yet seem
almost as far from victory as in
the beginning. Their leaders adj
NIT the terrible destruction done
by the U-boats, and frankly re-
ioice that this country has elect
ed to cast its lot with them, prae-
tieally admitting that without our
aid victory would still be far in
the future.
Now that we arc committed to
the fray it should be our single
aim to carry it to a successful is
sue. This win never be done by
half hearted measures. What the
allies need is material assistance
money, food and men. These
we must furnish to the limit Of our
resources. We must pour money
into their Golfers; we must dis
patch to their shores every proud
of food not absolutely needed to .
sustain life here; we must send TO
France a tremendous army that,
added to those Of the allies, viii,
by its sheer weight Of numbers,
crush out all opposition.
Let our part in the war be short,
sharp and decisive. We must
prove ourselves Americans and
not slackers.

CONNECTS ESCAPE FROM TUCKER IN
 SAME OLD MANNER One Trusty Guard Over
 powers Another, and With Pals Gains Freedom. |RECAPTURE THREE
 WITH BLOODHOUNDS se
 Six State Prisoners Are at Liberty, Rinyleaders Riding Mule Which They Unhitched From Water Cart. Fugitives Have Two Guns.

Nine more convicts escaped yester- 6ay evening, about 6:30 o'clock from the state penitentiary farm for white convicts at Tucker, and although three of the fugitives were soon treed by the bloodhounds and brought back to the farm seven of the men are still at liberty.
 The men at liberty are as follows:
 Bert Roberts, Ed Kelly, Sandy Green, Bill Bishop, Roy Trimble, Floy Keep.
 The men who escaped but were re- captured, were Sam Hoffman, wv. D. Stone and Dave Gross. They had gone but a short distance from the farm and were caught through the work of the bloodhounds, which treed them, making the recapture easy.
 Like Previous Affair.
 The escape of this latest batch of convicts was carried out in exactly the manner followed by the five men who obtained their freedom last week. As on that occasion, one of the trusty guards obtained the "drop" on another, took the .atter's gun, and with his "pals" made his escape.
 Bert Roberts was the name of the trusty guard who acted as the leader in the escape yesterday evening. The name of the other trusty guard could not he learned, nor could it be learned from what counties or for what crimes the fug;tives had been sent to the con- vict farm. jMT
 Roberts and Kelly are said to have unhitched the mule from the water cart which accompanied the convicts to the cotton field. and when last seen the pair were riding off, muleback, headed toward the White river bot toms.
 There were about 30 convicts under the two trusty guards, all hoeing in the cotton field, when the escare was carried out The convicts who did not "clear off" returned to camp head quarters and gave the alarm, which was quickly sent to the surrounding country while the bloodhounds were put on the trail.
 None of the five men who escaped last week has been recaptured, all though there have been reports that two or three of them have been seen in the bottom lands along the White river.
