For Submarine Chasers

The Navy Department yesterday award
ed contracts for 151 more l10-foot sub
marine chasers, and bids were opened for
S6 new 300-ton submarines. Twenty-seven
companies will build the submarine
chasers at an average cost of $45, 900 each.
Secretary Daniels announced the build
ers would rush work on these craft with
all possible speed.
None of the bids for the construction
of submarines was within the 81, 800 OOC
limit Congress fixed, and as they varied
so widely in form. much study will be
necessary to determine the lowest bids
submitted. The submersibles upon which
figures were offered are a distinct ad-
vance in submarine construction over the
smaller coast underwater boats. They
will have increased surface speed and
greatly Increased submerged radius of
action.

RED CROSS NOTES

The women and girls of Marathon
county are giving proof of their
patriotism and loyalty by the splendid
work they are doing for the County
Red Cross Chapter. The knitting
rooms and the hospital supply rooms
at the local headquarters are the
busiest places in Wausau. The earn

in Marathon county, who possibly can,
will be required to get out the amount
of articles needed to care for our
soldier boys. If you have not already
done your bit" by knitting a garment
or making surgical dressings, please
try and do so, as the boys in the
trenches will assuredly need warm
garments during the cold weather sea-
son.

the county are doing wonderfully we'll,
and their splendid work is being ap-
preciated by the local Headquarters.
Last week Red Cross branch was
organized at Marathon. Several Wau-
sau ladies from the Red Cross head
quarters here went over to Marathon

taken over to Marathon so that the
women and girls of that town could
get an idea of the work

sweaters are badly needed at the local
work rooms.
The making of surgical dressings at
the Wausau work rooms has been
divided into two courses or classes.
The first course will include standard
dressings, which is given for those
who desire to make the various kinds
of dressings. The second course in
clndes standard and special dressings
and is open to those who later wish
to instruct the making of surgical
| dressings. Those who finish the
course in both standard and special
dressings satisfactorily will be given
certificates showing they are eligible
for this work as instructors.
