Friends of Mayor John D. Smalley Of
Hammond. candidate for reelection TO
succeed himself, smile at the strenuous
efforts made by the Citizens party cam
paigners to spread the story that Mayor
Smalley's administration had accomp-
lished nothing.
AS matter of fact Mayor Smalley is
one of the most progressive mayors that
Hammond ever had Progress is his
middle name and the city has grown
faster and better while he has been
mayor than IL has ever done before.
During the past four years Mayor
SmaIleys administration has accomp-
lished splendid results. The city's
finances stand on a ock-bottom. Mayor
Smalley's financial record has brought
him the staunchest support. He has re-
duced the tax levy and despite the tre-
mendous increases of cost of supplies
and labor and improvements made, addi-
tions to the policemens and fremen's
pension funds both of which Mayor
Smalley established. the city has $4,000
more money than it ever had in its
treasury.
What are some of the things that
Mayor Smalley has brought about while
he has been Mayor and because of which
he is entitled to reelection:
J. Settling Of the street lighting con-
troversy. Obtaining reduction in price
to $3.50 per year for arc lights.
2. Purchasing of $1,000 fire truck.
thereby improving the efficiency of the
fire department, which reduced the fire
insurance rate.
3. Purchasing of s2.7o0 patrol wagon.
increasing the efficiency of the police
department.
l. Put in police alarm system that
makes it possible to reach any patrol
man in any part of the city almost ms
tantIy day or night.
5. Built Calumet avenue deep sewer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-American de-
stroyers have sunk a considerable num-
Der of German U-boats. The hrst os .
series of descriptions portraying the
battles between these destroyers an
enemy submarines was made public
the committee on public information
day.
The dates of the first encounter ii
which the U-boats apparently was stsa
in view of "a feet of merchant ships un
der convoy is withheld as is the nam
of the destroyer engaged.
The account as prepared from tn
navy department reports follows:
The American destroyer first sight
ed the sub in early morning of a clear
day. The sea was entirely calm with
hardly a ripple of foam. The subma-
rine was runnig submerged with only
her periscope showing. A large number
of merchant ships were in sight. The
U-boat was less than mile off port
beam of the destroyer and following a
parallel course in an opposite direction
when the periscope was discovered. It
was throwing up a column Of water say-
eral feet high so like q nearly spent
torpedo that the officer OF the deck
thought for minute this what what it
was.
The next instant the destroyer
changed its course shaply to the left
and it headed for the U-boat full speed.
/ At the same time the forward gun open
ed fire on the periscope. The command
ing officer ordered a course steered that
would bring the destroyer across the
wake of the U-boat. a little to the rear
of the periscope.
"As the destroyer dashed across the
line of bubbles a deep charge was
/ dropped and column Of clear water
shot 80 feet into the air. The destroyer
turned to the right swiftly circling and
4 a star board gun opened on the periscope
as she came across the U-boat's wake
again. Again a column Of water showed
that the charge had not reached its
mark.
! Another quick turn to the right
/ brought the star board gun to bear but
| this time the destroyer turned so sharp
/ ly that she was able to come down for
/ the third attack in the wake Of the u
boat.
THE last time the destroyer came to
I the attack exactly IN the wake of the
U-boat and ceased firing as she neared
| the end of the line of bubbles. the fourth
! charge was let go and there followed a
widespread boiling of the surface OF the
sea- large bubbles and at last a film OF
oil"

liquor could be cut off, and the em-
ploye would have just as much mo-
ney to spend for the real necessities
Of life, and he could also produce
from 10 to 20 per cent more goods
when sober and efficient.
These prOhibitOry measures would
increase the profits of the employers,
and from these profits the manufac-
turers would undoubtedly, as trustees
of the welfare Of their men, estab-
fish more charitable institutions for
the working class.
Liquor dealers claim that under
prohibition thousands of the en-
plOyes of breweries and distillers
would be thrown out Of employment.
That may be true, but as what they
make is a curse to humanity it is
better that they should change en-
plOyment and make something use
full. By throwing these persons out
Of work it would create a large
amount of surplus labor and give the
employer a chance to hire men at
reasonable wages. At the present
time the employer is at the mercy Of
his employees and of the unions, and
there is no surplus labor to use.
If large number of men were
thrown on the labor market by pro-
hibitiOn we could get competition in
labor and a fair rate of wages, and
the employees could live under it and
be able to compete with the pauper-
paid labor Of Europe after the war?
Surplus labor is frequently as be-
neficial as surplus wheat, and the
change of brewery and distiIleTy
workers would be of great value to
our industries.
Manufacturers need more efficient
and cheaper labor in this country
and prohibition will bring it about.
Manufacturers cannot compete with
sober southern and European labor

rf.r.s. 4E[Its-E aEL- nssh-EH sMNLElE
Red Cross workers in Grand Forks
received inspiration from the brief
visit last night Of Judge N. G. Young
Of Fargo, who has accepted the posi-
ton of director OF organization for the
state Of North Dakota, and who came
to the city for al conference filed with
the spirit Of service.
Experience showed in the civil war
that it was necessary to have five imen
to the 'front.' said Judge Young.
when we send our boys across the
sea- we must have at least 10 men
at home for each one abroad to sup
port them while they are fighting our
battle and to give them the care and
support that Is necessary.
How are the men of this county
and this state standing on this mat
ter2s In the civil war every woman!
sister and daughter Of a man who
vent to the front was performing war
work of various kinds, and it is as
certain that the women Of today must
take up their tasks in the same spirit.
There is ne getting away from It.
You have 5000 women in Grand
Forks county today. How many Of
them are doing their share OF the
work? They will get into it sooner or

needed right,now. There must be a
member Of the Red Cross in every
home in the county. the state and the
nation. 1t Is not a matter so much
of money just now, we want workers,
workers, workers.
"The man or woman who sees the
boys going acros the sea or going
into training for war and who does
not feel hat he or she has a share
IN tho CNrHiOf 10 a Fc1onkar F, Tho ryrro-
an or mar at home who is too in
dolent or too neglectful Of duty to the
country to take a hand now, when
they are needed, is as much a shirker
or a coward as the boys in the
boys in the trenches would be IL they
neglected to perform their duties or
did not obey orders.
THE war Is not to be won by fight
ing alone. We must awake; we must
all awake; we must awake at once
to u responsibilities"
Under the direction of Judge Young
the state headquarters in Fargo is de-
voting attention principally to the
county, chapter organization plan and
to community work. Thirty counties
in the state have already organized
under this plan. The county chapter
is responsible for the business and
financial end Of all work in the
county.
Judge Young said he was genuine
ly gratifiedr with the work that had
been done by the Grand Forks chap
ter, than which there is probably nc
more completely organized, or better
working Red Cross organization II
the state, but there was not time tt
consider so much what had been don,
as what remains to be done.
Judge Young placed particular EN-
phasis on the necessity of getting
good. loyal, patriotic men and WON
en- as officers in the various Red eros
branch societies, in this way laying
the foundation for what he hopes will
be one Of the most loyal and strongl.
patriotic bodies that has W. been or
ganized In this or any state.
