Y. N. G. A. FUND Is
GROWING RAPIDLY
NEW ULM'S ALLOTMENT OVER
SUBSCRIBED WITH LITTLE
EFFORT.
GOAL is RAISED TWO THoUs
AND DOLLARS ABOVE FIRST d
STAKE.

New Ulm has again more than made
good in its efforts to raise money for a
worthy cause. Last week when the
drive was started thruout the country
to raise a fund of $4,000, 600 for the
y. M. c. A., this city undertook to collect
So GEO as its share the amount. The
Liberty loan campaign had just closed,
the first payments on the loan were
being called for by the banks, and there
was misgiving on the part of some of
the members of the committee in charge
OF the local campaign as to whether the
amount could be secured at this time
Their anxiety went to nought, however,
as yesterday morning there had been
something more than $4,000 subscribed;
and the goal has been changed to 5000,
which it is expected will be forthcoming
within the next day or two.
Committee Works Hard.
The local committee has put in some
hard work during the past ten days and
deserves great deal of credit for the
success with which it has met. joseph
Epple has been in charge of the COM
mittee headquarters in the Commercial
Club rooms, donating his entire time to
the cause, as he did also in the Liberty
loan campaign.
In addition to. the $4,000 so far collect
ed it is said that several committee
members and solicitors have not vet
reported their collection, and besides a
number of citizens depended on for good
sized subscriptions have not vet been
seen, so the ultimate collection of the
desired $4,000 is not doubted in the
least.
Other Districts Not Reported.
Chas. Vogtel, chairman of the district
Of which New Ulm is the headquarters
comprising seven counties, up to yester-
day had not heard from the other
localities, not even Brown county, with
the exception Of Hanska, which came
forth with its allotment several DAYS AGO.
Large subscriptions at Sleepy Eye and
Springfield are anticipated, so the amount
allotted to Brown county-s1O, OOo-iis
expected to be filled, if not oyer-suh-
scribed.
There were some large subscriptions
in this city during the campaign, the
Eagle Roller Mill company suhscr;h;no
$4,000 to the fund, and three Of its
officers, Chas. Vogtel, II. L. Beecher and
]. H. Siegel each $3.50. Other sub
sdriptions will be announced later.

BRIDGE BEING BUILT

Work has been begun toward the
construction of the bridge across the
Minnesota river, connecting Brown and
Renville counties. Plans were laid for
the bridge nearly year ago by the
commissioners of the two counties,
since which time there have been a
number of delays. First the bids were
rejected because the lowest one was
considered to high. A send advertise
ment brought in proposals reasonable
enough 50 the authorities considered
It advisable to 60 on with the work.

U. s. EXCLUDES men
WITH DEPENDENTS
NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS PRO
VIDE ABSOLUTE PROTECTION
TO FAMILIES.
WILL BE CLOSED TO MEN
WHO WOULD LEAVE SUFFER-
ING BEHIND.

Under the new classification for
drafted men number of changes
are made from that Of the first draft.
Men of draft age, with dependent
relatives, are more secure from being
drawn into the army, according to
ouneement made this week by
Provost NJ arsifla1 General growder.
While deferred classification under
the new plan, which replaces all dis
charged or exemption certificates, may
be revoked when granted for any other
cause, there is no way in which men
with dependents can be called up
for service out of their turn.
Added protection for dependents is
secured by the requirement in cases
where the registrant seeks to waive
his deferred classification status that
waivers also must be obtained from
these dependent on him before he
can be taken into the military service.
Left to Local Boards.
The effect Of the regulation is to
close the ranks Of the army, navy
or marine corps absolutely to men
between FL and 81 years old where
they have dependents who would
suffer if they went to the front. Lo-
cal boards are constituted judges of
all such cases.
- - q !
For the first time also way is pro-
vided in which men physically I'M
fitted for the front line duty in the
army, and yet able to do some part
OF the work of soldier, may be called
for limited military service behind
the lines. Partial physical exemptions
may be granted by local boards to
create this new classification.
Where registrants are away from
home districts or in other circumstances
application to the local board for a
QUESTIONABLE is all that is required.
The most noteworthy changes in
the regulations outside of the crea-
ton Of an emergency fleet to permit
ship workers to remain at their Jobs,
are as follows:
Local boards are granted virtual
" judicial powers to summon Wit
nesses and obtain information. Local
police will see that any witness re-
spends .
Post Office Machinery Drafted.
The entire postoffice machinery is
drafted to aid local boards in tracing
Tegistrants and right of way for mail
connected with draft proceedings is
required.
Authority IS granted to form spe-
cial classes Of men highly skilled in
particular trades and professions and
summon them under this special heading
regardless Of their grouping in the
general classification plan. &
The secretary Of war may revoke
original classifications, except that
no man granted deferred classification
because Of dependents may be adj
vaaced in any way or called for service
out of his regular order. When deferred
classification has been granted s for
Industrial Or agricultural resso nS Ia
specially qualified registsant may be
summoned out Of his turn.

PAIGE. LOCKS FOIL
AUTOMOBILE Thieves

There seems Ia be good reason to be-
lleve that a way has at last been found
TO foil the ubiquitous and persistent car
thief and that the number Of stolen
automobiles will soon approciably di-
mlnish.
Among the new features included on
present Paige models Is a patented gear
shift lock which gives this car the dis
tlnction Of being absolutely thief proof.
Only by towing the car away can IL be
moved against the wishes OF the owner
The new Paige lock is ap integral part
OF the transmission cover. A hardened
steel tube Of massive size acts as the
lock- This tube slides into engagement
with the change gear lever, which be-
comes locked solid. In this position Il
becomes Impossible to move the lever
out Of neutral and so engage the gears.
The machine is locked safe against
theft by light shove with the foot on
this steel tube. The key is necessary
only for unlocking

Possibility Of a tremendous saving
in the nations coal supply through
the greatly extended use OF the Their
mostat is predicted by Ray Long, CHER
engineer Of the Columbia Motor Com
pany, and a recognized expert in the
adaptation Of the thermostat to heat
conservation problems.
THE thermostat isn't as well under
stood as IL should be, said Mr. Long
"A great many Of those who see Their
mostat in hotel rooms. offices and else
where have only q vague idea OF the
work this device Gccompllshes. AS
matter Of fact, the thermostat is very
simple. Its function is TO turn on the
steam when the room becomes too
warm, doing the work that otherwise
would have TO be done by the ianit0r'
or by the occupant Of the room. the
thermostat differs from the human
agent in that it never forgets 10 per-
form the task assigned to it. The
janitor may be too busy with other
things, and the occupant of the room
may not notice that the temperature

is always on the Job. II works auto

when the thermostat becomes bet
ter known it is safe to say that prac-
tically every home will be equipped
with this useful device. And w0en that
day comes there will be a big saving
in fuel. There will also be a saving
in doctors bills, because the Their
mostat maintains an even temperature

SUPREME EFFORT
NOW SEEMS NEAR

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Germany's desper-
ate efforts on the west front against
both the British and the French lines,
coupled with the immense concentra-
tion Of troops for a bid to bring about
decision in Italy, is considered a SUI
preme effort TO force a military de-
clsion before New Years and open the
way for the beginning of a general
peace movement.
Further consideration Of recent Ger
man utterances. notably the Kuhlman
speech. has caused In certain quarters
a feeling Of relief Il Is believed that
the enemy Is feeling the way toward
peace negotiations upon an entirely new
basis. This seems to be the idea Of
satisfying Great Britain and France by

while Germany and Austria-Hungary
take compensation in the East at the
expense of Russia, permitting Japan to
get satisfaction i'm Manchuria, likewise
at the expense of Russia
In effect the suggestion is that Ger

LONDON, Dec. 6.--The best OF many
exciting episodes related in connection
with the Cambria lighting was that in

engineers, together with some British
lighting troops. These men were cut
off In the German turning movement

oners. A German escort of twenty sol
diers or more started with them along
the road leading from Gouzeaucourt to
Cambria. As they were proceeding dis
consolately toward the zone Of the Ger
man prison cages they came upon a
small body Of British troops who had
also been cut off from their comrades
and were wandering about.
The British Tommies Immediately
charged toward them. The Germans
tried TO drive their captives off toward
La Vacquerle. but the prisoners hurled
themselves upon their guards and
struggled barehanded until the Tom
niles arrived and disposed Of the Ger
mans. 1.-THE engineers and their com
rades took the German rifles and
worked their way back with their res
cuers until they were able to reach a
point where they could Join the British
line.
A party Of Americans and Canadians
also had an exciting time in a motor
lorry, which. coming unexpectedly
upon six Germans holding the Gross
roads with machine guns. charged at
full speed, tanklike, bowling over the
surprised enemy and escaping down the
road before the Germans recovered
