CHICAGO AFLAME WITH
PATRIOTIC FERVOR
Enthusiasm For the Flag Shown Al
Most Everywhere-AlI Bridges Are
Guarded Along Railroad Routes.

There is plenty of patriotism in
Chicago, according to Miss Vesta
Thomas, who returned Sunday from
the Northwestern University at Evans
ton, where she has been taking the
course in music. Miss Thomas says
that there is much excitement in the
big city by the lake and that the re-
suit of the discovery of numerous
bomb plots has kept the people work
ed up to fever heat. At all hotels,
cafes and theatres, patriotic tunes and
songs are in evidence. Any reference
to the flag at the theatres, or the
throwing of the national emblem on
the screens at the motion picture
houses arouses great enthusiasm.
In the schools, colleges and univer
sites in the city the students are
aroused to a great degree of patriotic
fervor The students at the medical
schools will take a special summer
course in order to prepare as many as
possible of them for work in the field
if necessary. Many girls in the col
leges have joined the Red Cross and
are taking special courses which will
prepare them for work at the front
After taking the course they will be
liable to call at any time during the
next two years.
Inc erect on Ine musical SCHOOLS
has been to reduce attendance at many
institutions of learning throughout the
country, which are preparing to dis
card their teachers in music on the
ground of economy. The question o.
closing Northwestern university il
seriously considered.
The extra precaution taken on the
railroads between Chicago and Twir
Falls made the trains late. There arr
guards on every bridge. When ap
preaching a bridge the trains stop anC
the trainmen reconnoitre. At nigh
searchlights are turned on the bridge
continually. Nobody is permitted t.
stand on the platform of a train cross
ing a bridge or tressel lest they shoul'
throw a bomb.
While crossing one bridge a ma,
who attempted to stand on the rea
platform, although warned not TO d
so, was speedily dragged inside by tn
trainmen.

BRITISH ARTILLERY
WORRIES IT'S FOES
Terrific Effect of Modern Guns Di-
rected From Airships Is Told BY
Prisoners.
UNITED Press.l

With the British armies in the field,
April 24-The smashing effect of the
British artillery and its demoralizinE
influence on the Germans continue to
be the theme OF deserters and priso-
ners' confessions, soldiers diaries and
reports of officers.
From IL a. m. until $3.50 D. m. the
trench lay under heavy and very ef-
fective fire which continued without
STOP" wrote company commander of
the 31st infantry regiment of the 18th
division in his report which was cap
tured with the writer. Nothing is
left of the trenches and the dugouts
are so much damaged that they cannot
be used. The location of our dugouts
must be accurately known as shell
after shell bursts right on top of them,
or quite close by. Also between 10 and
IL p. m. the enemy's artillery of both
medium and heavy calibre shelled the
trench with unprecedented violence.
Enemy airmen hovored over our po-
sitions the whole day and came down
very low. They directed the fire
throughout. Our own artillery seem
ed to have fired very little. German
airmen appeared only towards even
ing but the enemy's airmen would not
let themselves be disturbed in their
work. Nothing is left of the trench.
'The enemy appears to be using a
new type Of gun and she'll. A red
flame is visible but we cannot hear
the report of the gun. The she'll
bursts with an explosion resembling
that of mine and the destructive area
of the burst is large. l consider it
my duty to draw the attention of the
battalion staff to the fact that, in the
] event of a bombardment of equal in
tensity tomorrow, no dugout will be
! left to provide shelter"

General Sympathy With the Movement
Insures Great Increase in Member
ship if People VIII Exposes Con-
yictiOns in Acts.

The Red Cross campaign will open
tomorrow at the field headquarters in
the tent next to the Five-Ten-Fiftee
Cent store and every effort will be
made to secure as many members as
possible during the week. While the
people have Joined voluntarily in a
most creditable manner, it is felt that
many citizens have not had the i'm
portance of the work of the associa-
tiOn brought home to them and if this
can be done that the membership will
be greatly increased. The present
members are all requested to help get
new members wherever possible, as
the warning of Arthur J. Balfour,
British secretary for foreign affairs,
that the war will be a long one has
made many realize as never before the
necessity for united and organized eff
fort on the part of all the people
Regular headquarters will also be
open at the Commercial club rooms
and with the assistance of the people
in general, all of whom are in full
sympathy with the movement, it is
believed that a large increase in the
number of members can be secured in
a very short time. All who are not
members are urged to come in and
Join without being solicited
