RED CROSS
PLANS FOR
FALL DRIVE
Work of the Moscow Chapter to be
Brought to War Basis-SOciety
FIOurishes in County

Moscow Red Cross chapter is to be
put on a war footing at once. This Is
in line with what is going ON at the
top in Washington. Because of the
tremendous growth of the organiza-
tion and because of the enormous
work mapped out for it, both at home
and overseas, it has been found nee
essary to put everything on a business
basis, to reduce everything to system
and to gather up all the loose ends.
This was the keynote of the discus
sions at the meeting of the officers
and executive committee of the Mos
COW chapter last evening. President
discussed communications
just received from headquarters and
all saw the force of the suggestions
and Instructions sent out.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1917-07-26

In line with this it was voted to
close the Moscow headquarters during
the month of August This will en-
complete the inventory of the material
already made by the good women 'of
the city and to arrange it for shipment
to branch headquarters at Denver, and
to block out a definite campaign for
the fall.
In the matter of future work it was
agreed that it would be we'll to work
to some definite end. One unit OF
marine base hospital was tentatively
agreed upon.

The Protection Of Shipping.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
served notice last night that shipping
which does not have the elementary
measures Of protection against the
German submarine may hereafter be
deprived Of the privilege of war risk
insurance.
This action has been inevitable. 1t
has not been generally known that
American ship owners have been
negligent about submarine protection,
but the Navy Department has heard
much talk about the fact, since the
shipping owners. knowing that war
risk insurance kept them from loss,
began to show alarming indifference
as to whether their vessels were
torpedoed or not. The government
stood the loss; why should they put
themselves TO great expense to adopt
the latest measures OF protecting ships
against U-boats?
Some of the American vessels have
not been armed; others have not
adopted the marine "camoufage"
recommended by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation and the Naval Con-
sulting Board; smokeless fuel, and
smoke screens" both of which are
regularly used by British shipping,
have not proven attractive to Amerl-
can ship owners because of the ex-
pense. But it is certain that every
American ship travelling the sub
marine zone must take these ele-
mentary measures of protection.
Otherwise it is folly to grant them the
privilege of war risk insurance, as
Secretary McAdoo indicates.
Furthermore, there are new anti
submarine devices, the nature of
which cannot be disclosed at this
time, which have had a considerable
measure of success, and which, as
they are perfected, must become a
part of the equipment of all merchant
shipping. The expense of installing
them should not be considered for a
moment. II they save only a hand
full of ships, their adoption is
justified

THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD.

The land is all a-tremble
With the tread Of many feet;
Making ready for the Army,
Making ready for the feet;
Making ready for the Battle
That shall set the People free
From From the ruthless. frightfuI
frenzy
OF the foe across the sea.
As tyranny increases
Peoples rise and overthrow
Kings and empires; win to freedom
.. Thro' their WEAKNESS of woe.
All the People are awaking.
North and south and east and
west:
And Democracy is winning
Where AutOcracy oppressed.
The People are the Power,
They shall come into their own;
And be subjects of no ruler
Who is monarch of a throne.
The earth is all a-tremble,
And our Flag is wide-unfurled-
We too have Joined the Battle

Getting Our Troops Abroad.

Americans are going into the
trenches soon. The opening of a
casualty list in the oficial Bulletin is
significant, because II means that the
Pershing expeditionary force has
about completed its period Of training
in France. But the American people
do not like to think OF being repre-
sented in the onslaught against the
Hun with the mere skeleton Of an
army-they want everything possible
done to show our real potentiality as
a fighting factor in the war, and done
quickly.
The shipping situation slowly is
clearing itself. There is less pessimis-
tic talk heard in Washington now. A
few days ago army officers were say
ing we would not have 5000 troops
in France by Christmas. They do not
indulge in such loose speculation now.
They know that Secretary Of War
Baker has Just announced the forma-
ton Of two new National Guard divi-
sions, one from New England. the
other mixed" and both to go
abroad before long. 1t seems certain
that we will have at least 100000 men
abroad by New Years and probably
exceed that total considerably; and II
the shipping situation continues to
improve, America may surprise itself
by having a great force in France be-
fore spring.
We hope and believe that the army
program will gather momentum as 1t
goes on-that new achievements OF
American executive genius will un-
fold themselves. that in the 1918 Of
fensive against Germany the United
states will contribute powerfully to
the overthrow of the Kaiser's legions.
The new national army will be whip
ped into shape by spring. and then
the gigantic task will begin OF placing
them in the trenches OF Flanders and
the Champagne. or whatever sector OF
the front is assigned them. unless
peace should come in the meantime.
And to quote one high official Of the
administration:
Peace will not come while Ger
many is offering terms; not until she
begs for them"

a SONG OF PARTING.

I've got TO leave you. Mother Dear,
To go and do my "bit'';
So what's the use of shedding tears?
: Let's make the best OF it.
Perhaps 1 won't return for years,
And maybe not at ALL
But bear it bravely Mother Dear.
II 1 should chance to fall.
I don't suppose I'm very brave,
No more so than the rest,
I do not long to fill a grave.
But III try to do my best;
I don't talk much of liberty,
And of this hero stuff,
But I want to pound the enemy
Until he cries enough"
You know, dear Mother, in the Spring
I was to get a fiat,
There was to be a wedding,
But I must forget all that:
lslt on the outpost. silently.
At midnight I shall kneel.
nd pray for her who waits for me
Back home as true as steel.

LESSON NO. 7-YOUR HEALTH.

not too much for most men. Even
if you can't sleep for any reason
lie still and get good rest dur
ing those hours.
The medical officer will be ready
to do everything he can to keep
you well. Don't hesitate to report
to him IL you need any attention
even for slight ailments. Every
day at sick CALI any soldier who
is not feeling well may ask for
medical treatment.
The only sure safeguard against
venereal disease is to avoid Illicit
intercourse. A clean life is the best
guarantee Of sound health. To
maintain a clean life. keep away
from those things which tend to
promote sexual excitement and de-
sire. particularly obscene conversa-
tion, reading matter, and pictures.
The moral reasons which should
impcl every self-respecting man to
avoid debasing himself by sexual
vice are well known to every man
who joins the National Army and
need not be recounted here. In
addition to the moral reasons there
rests upon every soldier the espe-
cial duty of avoiding everything
that may unfit him for active and
effective service.

Men versus Gravity.
No. 3.

All classes, whether rich or poor.
are affected by the price of grain,
coal and ore.
We need these basic products in
peace as well as in war, and anything
that affects their cost affects all of
US. no matter whether we believe it
or not.
Transportation is one Of their big
cost items. and If the railroads can
save even a small amount per car
load the total gain will be enormous.
For the first time in history our
railroads are operating under a CEN
tralized authority which makes easy
many betterments which were FORM
erly thought to be impossible. and il
the heads Of this new organization
issue any orders it is certain that
American genius can be counted up
on to work out the details with pre-
cision and dispatch.
One of these orders which we be-
lieve will bring about a radical and
far-reaching change for the better can
be stated in a few words as follows:
Use fifty CJO) degree slopes in re-
pairing old hopper-bottom cars, or in
designing new ones.
For the nontechnical let US explain
what that means. 1t means that coal
and ore cars which now take forty
minutes of labor to unload can be un-
loaded in one minute. 1t means that
these cars are not confined to turn
over machines for their prompt un-
loading; and of still more importance,
it means that this change for the
better can begin at once. Slopes are
unpatented and free to the world.
Gravity will be doing our work in
stead of men or machines.
Gravity is always on the job and
doesn't charge anything for its SER
vices. 1t is a willing worker for the
public good IL given a chance to get
busy.
Ore producers have been utilizing
gravity more than others, but still
enough ore is being handled in faulty
railroad cars to make it worth while
to call attention to the fact that moth
ing short of steep slopes ESQ degrees
or steeper) and large openings 600
or more square feen should be allow
ed on railroad cars employed in the
ore service.

GERMAN POLICE HUNT
FOR COUNTERFEITERS

Berlin, Aug 19.-The police OF Col
ogne are hunting for daring counter
feiters. Recently a large number Of
two-mark bills were put into circula-
ton in the city by a gang. The en-
cravings are well executed, and the
counterfeits could hardly be distin-
guished from genuine bills, II the
makers (who seem to have had not
only unlimited nerve, but also a sense
of humor) had not changed the
paragraph of the penal code against
counterfeiting printed on the reverse
side to read as follows:
Anyone who initiates or falsifies
banknotes is a jaCkass and should be
imprisoned for life"

preceding Lessons: I. Your Post of
Honor. . Making Good as a Soldier.
3. Nine Qualities of a Soldier. l. Get
ting Ready for Camp. 5. First Days
in Camp. 6. Cleanliness in Campo
The living conditions in the army
are just what most vigorous men need
for their physical well-being. Every
day brings an ample amount of eXer-
else, fresh air. and good food. Yours
will be a very unusual case II you
do not find yourself after a few
months stronger. healthier. and more
buoyant than you have ever been in
your life.
1t is true, on the other hand, that
extreme eXertion in marching or fight
ing may in time be called for. But this
will not be until you are thrOughly
trained and fit. The periods of strain
of exposure will probably be short and
are not likely in themselves to do
you any real harm. At any rate, you
owe it to yourself-and, what is more
you owe IL to the country-to make
yourself "ft' at the earliest possible
moment. Sick men can not do much
toward winning this war. In the army
they are not only loss, but during
their sickness a positive handicap.
Rules for Health.
Everything you eat will be carefully
inspected by the officers in charge of
that duty. You will have plenty of
fresh meat, bread. potatoes. and other
vegetables, and other simple and nour-
ishing food. AS a general rule, you
should eat nothing not supplied in
your company mess. Especially avoid
green or over-ripe fruit and inferior
soft drinks"
Your chief care in connection with
food will be to chew it thoroughly and
eat it slowly. Don't drink excessive
quantities of water, tea, or coffee with
your meals.
Avoid needless exposure. You may
be often called upon in the line of
duty to march through mud and rain.
So long as you are active on the move
it will probably do no harm. As soon
as you are off duty. however, take
proper care of yourself. Give your
self a rub down and If possible bathe
your feet and change your clothing.
If you come in from exercise or
drill sweating freely. try to cool
off gradually instead of allowing
yourself to get chilled. Even in
hot weather throw light coat or
wrap over yourself for few min
utes.
One of the most important rules
of all is to be careful about drink
ing water not provided in the camp
or recommended to you by medical
or company officers. II pure wa
ter is not at hand, 1t Is better to
drink boiled water or weak coffee
or tea. Boiling kills the disease
germs.
tobacco, be moderate. especially
while you are on the march or just
before taking strenuous exercise.
Your smoke will do less harm and
at the same time will be much more
enjoyable, If you wait till you can
sit down quietly during one of the
periods of rest.
Eight hours of each day are set
aside for sleep. This is ample. but

A speaker in the West declares that
there will be another legal holiday
placed upon the calendar in America
which will probably be more widely
celebrated than the Fourth of July.
He did not receive much attention, yet
there is more logic than prophecy IN
his words. 1t is highly probable that
this war will bring forth one big day
to be celebrated by Americans.
Whether it be a battle or a move for
peace remains to be seen.

Best Service Column in City.

Commanding generals of the vari-
Gus departments have been author
lied by the War Department to
grant furlough OF not to exceed one
month to enable enlisted men of
National Guard to arrange their
business affairs: such furloughs to
be granted only in urgent cases
when refusal to grant them would
work an unnecessary hardship. This
authority does not extend to ex-
tensions of furloughs and applica-
tiOns should originate with the SOL
dier and be forwarded through mil
itary channels to department COM
mander whose decision in each case
shall be final.
There will proba bly, be siXty-four
vacancies at the Military Academy
on June II. 1913. for admission or
qualified candidates from the en-
listed men of the regular army.
The selected candidates will be di-
rected to report at a designated
army post on March 10. 1918, for
examination and those who success
fully pass it, and who conform to
all other requirements, will be ad-
mitted as cadets on June II, in
the order of their standing as de-
termined by the examination. This
examination will be competitive
and the regular examination for
entrance to the Military Academy.
All enlisted men of the regular
army serving within the limits of
this department, including recruit
ing stations. and other usually eX-
cepted places, may apply for this
appointment, provided that each ap-
plicant must meet the physical re-
Quirements, be unmarried and be
between the ages of l and % years,
and must have served as an enlist
ed man not less than one year on
June IA, 1918.
It is entirely possible that soon
after Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, U. S. A,
resumes the office of Chief of Staff,
he will find a way to reopen the
matter of the proposed changes in
the regulation coat for army Off
GERS. Gen. Scott. prior to his de-
parture for Russia with the Amer
ican Mission, expressed himself as
entirely in favor of the suggested
adoption of rolling collar, flaring
skirt and bellows pockets. The
Secretary of War, with the advice
of the General Staff as expressed by
a majority vote withheld his ap-
proval. Should Secretary Baker be
impelled to revoke his recent de-
cision, the change would go into
effect Immediately in order that
the thousands of newly commission
ed officers might not be embarrass-
ed by providing themselves with
obsolete uniforms.
1t Is learned that Maj. Gen. John
]. Pershing, u. S. A, has sent from
his headquarters in France num-
Der of recommendation dealing
with minor changes in other ar
ticles of uniform equipment. They
include the shortening of the over
coat and raincoat to knee-length to
obviate the interference expert
enced in walking through a mar
row trench: the addition of a knit
cap to be worn under the helmet:
the lengthening of the woolen
gloves to come above the wrist:
and the adoption of the puttee,
rather than the Logging, for trench
duty. Practically all of these
changes are expected to receive Of
