Hustling for the Red Cross

The last week or ten days have.
been busy ones for the Red Cross
workers of Butler and vicinity. Mon
day night H. o. Maxey, J. A. Deaf
mond and E. B. Silvers and the Red
Cross glee club went out to Amoret
where good crowd was in attend
ance. Speeches were made explain
ing the aims of the organization and
the urgent need for it and when the
call for members was made it only
took few minutes to enroll forty,
all enthusiastic for the work.
Tuesday night Virginia was visit
ed and live, hustling chapter was
organized, which will be represented
at the big county meeting at Butler,
Saturday, July 28.
On Wednesday night the Flying
Squadron was at Pleasant Gap where
their coming had been advertised and
a fair crowd was on hand all eager
to learn how they might help. A
chapter was also organized there.
On Thursday night it is planned to
go to Hume where there is no doubt
bu that big chapter will be organ
lied, as the Hume people are live
bunch and always right up towkards
the front of the procession.
The Adrian teams were working in
the north part of the county Sunday
and several local branches were or
ganized. The townships in the
Adrian district are Mingo, Grand
River, Deer Creek, East Boone,
West Boone, West Point, Elkhart
and Mound.

G. w. Clardy Dies at Liberty.

Relatives in this city Wednesday
received a telegram announcing that
6. w. Clardy had died that morning
at his home at Liberty, Missouri. He
had been sufferer from heart troub-
le for about two years, and while his
death was not entirely unexpected, it
came as shock to his many friends
in this city, where he was formerly a
pr rominent citizen. About twenty
years ago he was identified with sew
eral business enterprises in Butler
and served one term as mayor of the
city. 49,.
+ Besides his wife he is survived by
one daughter and three. sons. No
arrangements have been made for the
funeral. but it will probably be held
at Smithville, Missouri, where his
parents and many relatives are
buried.

U-BOAT BUMPED INTO A
---- LINER
Came up Under Liner and Later
Was Sunk.

A Gull Port, July 24-The unre-
stricted career of German submar-
inc recently came to a. swift end
when in coming to the surface it rose
directly beneath big steamer of the
Alfred Holt line short distance out
of Liverpool, according to the master
of a steamer docking here today.
With attention apparently focused
entirely on disposing of smaller
steamer several miles away, the sub
marine crew was unaware of the larg-
er steamer. Both were moving in
the same general direction. The
ship careened sharply from the up
ward blow. but Immediately slid
safely from the enemy's back. The
submarine came up only few hun
dred feet away and, fully exposed.
furnished fine target for the ships
gunners. A few we'll placed shots
were sufficient.

Should Print the War News.

Philadelphia, July Io.-Speaking on
the subject of censorship Of war news
before the chamber of commerce
here today, Louis Wiley, business
manager of the New York Times,
said it was absolutely necessary that
the country retain its free speech and
free press.
He declared that at crisis when
mass opinion must dictate ultimate
judgments, any restriction which
would withhold essential information
and enlightenment from all the peo-
ole could be neither wise nor patri-
.otic. He emphasized "the patriotism
Of the newspapers" and showed BY
sexaapies siace the war that they
fnse fsiahfully observed the eensor.

GERMANS THINK u. s. JOKE
The Vossiche Zeitung Ridicules Idea
Of Women Offering Defense
Services.

Washington, D. c., July 27.-An
example of the efforts made by Ger
man newspapers to deceive the peo-
pie concerning Americas participa-
tion in the war is given in extracts
from The Vossiche Zeitung of June
Io just received here.
After attempting to discredit the
success of the Liberty Loan the pa
per continues:
1T is significant for the American
conception of war that several wo-
men succeeded in being accepted for
service in the flying corps. In one
case woman was even accepted by
the Coast Artillery to have charge of
signalling.
Department stores and other
large business houses, as a joke of
advertising, put their many thou
sands of female employees into uni
forms and trained them in the using
of firearms.
For an explanation they point to
possibility OF these female armies
to have to maintain order all over
the country. The German-Americans
are suspected and the remainder of
the population is systematically in
censed against them.
Meanwhile, Americans serving in
France are writing home letters i'll
which they express bitter disappoint-
ment and warn against further trans
port of American troops unless
America makes lasting and sure ar
raffgefHef4tts ram about-tifte food prUpUsi=
ton, for France, they say. is facing
starvation because of her inability to
plow her fields.
1T is much more important, they
continue, to send transports of agri-
cultural laborers in order to take
care of the soil of France.
by the way, even now an import
ant part of Pershing's division con-
sists of laborers, so-called pioneer
regiments belonging to the division.
They are nothing less than railroad
laborers enlisted to rebuild the de-
stroyed railroads of France.
"An interesting detail is the fact
that the American troops carry many
well-trained dogs. who are to attack
strayj,g patrols"

Increase in War Bill Indicates a Big

Washington, July 24.-An Ameri
can army of million men for SER
vice abroad as soon as possible in
stead of I-2 million contemplated for
the first draft is foreshadowed by
the governments request for All ad-
ditional billion dollars made to the
Senate finance committee today.
The first million men are to be
made up of the first draft army of
I-e million, the national guard and
the regulars. 1t is improbable that
the first draft will be increased, but
the government is arranging its fl
nances for other drafts without the
necessity of going to Congress again
for money.
Secretary McAdoo. committee
members said, told the finance COM
mittee it was estimated that an ad-
ditional credit of billion dollars to
be lent to the Allies would also be
requested.
In addition to the war and navy es-

Two Quarreling Factions.

Washington, July 24.-Sweeping
steps were taken by President Wilson
today to put an end to delay in
building Americas great merchant
marine.
Two resignations-those of Gen
eral Goethals, manager OF the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, and Capt.
J. B. White, member of the shipping
board, were accepted. Chairman
Denman of the shipping board was
asked to resign.
At the same time the President
announced the appointment of Ed
win Hurley, Chicago, as chairman of
the shipping board, and Admiral
Capps, naval constructor, as general
manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. e..
cambridge Colby of New York was
named in Whites place on the ship
ping board.
1--WE will start with a clean sheet"
the President explained in his letter
to Goethals, accepting the generals
resignation Offer.
1t was evident from the prompt

in every particular that he had had
the "house cleaning" in mind some
days.
Chairman Denman received the
Presidents request for his resigna-
tion by noon and rendered it immed-
lately.

night work for women.
Attending night school.
You are a woman. Tradition has
it you not only can talk, but you do.
The. woman's committee of the Coun-
eli Of National Defense adds that you
should.
You should talk about the regis
tration day for women July 28. You
should ask Mrs. Thompson, who lives
across the street, how she is going
to register, and you should ask Mrs.
Jones, your next door neighbor, if
she is going to mention the fact she
raises chickens. And as for Mrs.
one whose husband re-
fused to subscribe to the Red Cross
they say she isn't going to regis
ter at all! The very idea! You
should put on your bonnet and run
right over and tell Mrs. Smith just
why she should register.
OF course, you will know what to
tell her. You will tell her that Uncle
Sam wants to know what all the wo-
men can do, just how far they can be
depended upon to take the places of
the men, in what occupations they
are, and what service they are Civ
ing. There is no reason for Mrs.
Smith to fear. She will not be draft
ed. All the government wants is to
know about that big garden she
planted in June. 1t wants to credit
her with being patriot enough to-
raise that garden. So she wasn't 60
ing to register because she thought
there was nothing she could do!
You will whisper into her ear that
there is still time to talk to her hus-
band about that Red Cross contribu-
ton. Nothing she could do! In
deedl
The women of Missouri should in
dulge in a talkfest this week and
next, according to the leaders at reg
istration headquarters. Every wo-
man is to be enrolled: of that they
are daily becoming more confident.
