CAMP LOGAN, HOUSTON, Texas.
Oct 19.-The Fifth infantry has
struck its colors for the first and last
time not in surrender. but in restg-
nation to the inevitable. Tuesday
night at retreat, while the band
PLAYED the Star Spangled Banner, the
national and regimental flags of the
regiment were furled. Today the
flags were returned to the quarter
master department. This afternoon
the color rack Of the regiment in
front of Colonel Woods tent was
bare of silk and bunting. Half OF the
camp site of what had been the Fifth
infantry was bare of tents, six of the
fifteen units had moved to their
quarters in other parts OF camp TO
take I'D their new work In the diy1-
sion motor truck, wagon and mill
tary police trains. Only Companies
G, D, E, F, G, I, K, L. and the Ma
chine Gun company remaining.
These were shifting locations so as
to line up properly the three ma
chine gun battalions into which they
are transferred. While gangs or
brown clad men carried cots, chairs
and all manner of equipment to and
fro, Colonel Wood, whose fight for
the regiment is at an end so far as
the army is concerned, sat silent in
his tent. Charges were expected to
be filed against Colonel Wood for
his attack on the motives of his
superior officer, Brigadier General
Hill, in breaking up the Fifth, but no
such action was taken. Brigadier
General Todd, commanding the divi-
sion, may choose to drop the case.
assigning Colonel Woods attack to
his loyalty to his regiment This is
fthe feeling of the division and the
division would &c glad to see the
matter end thus.

stretch today with all the mud sling
ing of the old days.
Mayor Mitchell, fusion candidate.
hammered away principally at his
democratic and Tammany opponent,
Judge John F. Hylan, and was seized.
uled for half a dozen speeches today.
He was expected to assist Hylan's
alleged record of close association

bate.
Hylan retorted by charging that
Mitchell favored the packers and per-
mitted sale in New York of rotten
meat"
Morris Hillquist, socialist aspirant
for mayoralty honors, aroused ire
mendous enthusiasm on the east side
in his attacks on both Mitchell and
Tammany forces responsibility for

European Sugar Shortage.

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-Compar
ed with Americas average consump-
ton Of ninety pounds of sugar per
person year, England and France
are almost without this commodity
The English person, who in pro-war
times consumed his ninety-three and
a third pounds year, is now allow
ed one-haf pound week. In France
the allotment is but eighteen pounds
a year.
The British government has been
careful to announce that it cannot
guarantee that even the half pound
allowance can be obtained and sug-
ar card for a family is issued only
for the number of persons sleeping
in the house. In public restaurant,
if sugar Is taken on cereals, the
person must do without sweetening
in his coffee. It is now customary
for lady, invited out to tea, to
take her sugar with her. She is
also expected to bring her own cake.

Keokuk, Iowa, Sept. %, 1917.
Mr.. c. f. Mcfarland,
| Chairman Red Cross War Fund,
Keokuk, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
| We have made an examination OF
the local accounts of the Red Cross
war fund covering the period from
June Is to September 20, 1917. The
greater part of the examination was
necessarily concerned in the vertical
| ton of the statements left by the
cashiers who were in charge OF the
collections, and Of the clerical work
during Red Cross week, and from the
close of Red Cross week to the pres
| ent time. The audit of receipts COM
prised three main features:
l. The addition of all pledge cards
and cash cards.
2. The verification of the amounts
shown on the recapitulation of the
daily totals.
8. The notification Of the amount
of unpaid pledges as Of September
20, as shown by the original pledge
cards, with the cash deposited in the
bank.
comparison of the results Of
these three checks shows the follow
ing:
1. The recapitulation Of all
pledge cards and cash
2. The verification of
amounts shown on the
recapitulation of the
daily totals $35, 0O5.O5
8. Total amount
of deposits
as shown by
bank book $26,6913O
Unpaid pledges S,314Oo 35.O0530
No effort was made to locate the
small difference between the above
figures.
AS the sources of these three
figures are entirely independent of
each other, we believe that the re-
suits prove the substantial correct
ness Of the work.
In addition to the above, an exam
nation was made Of the following:
% The summaries of the team cap
tains' envelopes during Red Cross
week were verified and the totals of
these envelopes were checked to the
recapitulation of daily receipts; (2)
the record Of receipts (form w. L.
81 was checked to the recapitulation
of daily receipts and to pledge cards
We believe that our audit of these
records constitutes a satisfactory
check on both the collections and the
clerical work.
A statement of the situation would
not be complete without mention Of
the fact that included in the amount
of sS,314.0O of outstanding pledges as
of September 20. is an item Of $1,000
subscribed by S. F. Baker & Com
pany which was not turned over to
