CHURCHES RESUME
 RED CROSS SEWING
Needles to Fly in Aid Of Wounded
 in Europe

The all-day meetings at the church. es for the purpose of Red Cross sew ing will be resumed this week after a long vacation.
 The first meeting of the season will be held on Friday at the parlors of the Methodist church and lunch will be served at noon.
 These meetings were productive of a large amount of completed work last spring and more can be accom- plished this fall and winter if more women feel the call to lend a hand. A large number of women can be ac commodated and it is hoped that large number will remember the old saying that many hands make light work" All women in the city are welcome to attend these meetings and cooperate in the good work.
 The work is hampered greatly by the need of more machines and there is an opportunity here for interested persons to give a big lift. If. in any woman's home, there is an idle ma chine standing which could be loaned for while it would help greatly to facilitate the work. A sewing ma chine may be rented for Red Cross work at the very special price of $1.5O a month and if any kind friend would like to help by renting one for use at the churches this season it would be greatly appreciated.
 A class in knitting will be held in connection with the all-day meetings, every Friday morning at II o'clock This class will be under the direction of Mrs. F. G. Platt and will give a splendid opportunity to all who do not know how to knit to learn to knit for the soldiers. A large number should take advantage of this oppor- tunity.

pestroyers That Destroy

a FEW years ago we would have been
"A stunned by request of the President
for an appropriation of $360,000,000 with
which to build feet of warships OF
single type. That is moro money than we
used to spend upon tho whole naval estab-
lishment in year, including battleships
cruisers. destroyers, torpedo-boats sub
marines, personnel and supplies.
But now we at war We are locked
IN deadly contest with powerful and
relentless foe. That foe must be beaten
down, and the instrumentalities which he
uses to advantage must be crushed. For
these reasons we feel small surprise when
the Secretary OF the Navy announces that
the President has approved plan for ex-
pending $350.000,000 for an enormous fleet
OF torpedo-boat destroyers. For months we
have known that tho destroyer was the most
effective factor in fighting the submarine.
We were told this by each OF the war mis-
sions with whom this government has con-
ferred. Then Admiral Sims was sent
abroad with squadron of vessels of this
type. and each of his report, has REINFORCED
the judgment Of our allies. He has informed
us that the submarine cannot give battle
to destroyer. and that the undersea boats
invariably retreat upon the approach Of
these greyhounds. 1t was to be expected.
therefore. that the administration would
turn its attention TO destroyer construction
And it was to be expected that. soon or late,
an appropriation Of magnitude would be
called for. This call has now gone forth,
and in few days Congress will act upon it.
And there is little doubt that 1t will be
acted upon favorably. No appropriation has
yet been denied which the administration
has found to be necessary
The navy has not confded to us the num-
Der Of destroyers which it hopes to build
out OF this fund. But on the basis OF old
costs. it is easy to figure that we will one
day fly our flag over the greatest destroyer
armada in the world II only 100 are built
and there will be more-we will have
preponderance In this type of craft among
the navies of the earth.
