From the above statement it is ap
parent that much money is needed to
carry on the work of Red Cross. Citi
zens of Mineral Point have been most
liberal in their donations but purses
have to be open continually as the work
is only just begun. With our soldiers
really in the trenches, there is need for
haste in establishing, equipping and
maintaining hospitals. There is imme
diate need for knitted garments by the
thousands. To supply this need the
women are knitting increasingly. Now
should not the men give their money to
buy the needed material SO far the
farmers about Mineral Point have not
all been reached and many who would
like to give have not been approached
because Of inaccesability. Within the
next few weeks every single farmer and
city resident will be given the Oppor
us show that our hearts are in the
cause. The money goes for yonr sons
and brothers. Will you begrudge them
a thing when you think what they are
doing for you? Put Mineral Point on
the map as the best hearted community
in the state.
The teacher and pupils Of School
District No. s, gave a box social last
week and the proceeds amounting to
$3S were given to the Red Cross on
Saturday.
The pupils and teacher, Miss Cleo
Richards, deserve much credit for this
good donation. 1t shows that children
are glad to do their bit, if some one
will show them how, and who can do
this better than the willing teacher?
The school children of our city have
hen asked to help the Red Cross by
honey earned or saved by themselves.
This is time to learn self control and
self sacrifice To give our time to work
in one way or another, to deny our
selves the many things which take our
pennies or dimes and give to the Red
Cross for comforts for our soldiers.

American Red Cross, Miss Bradford,

NOW IN FRENCH PORT
A Fifth German Submersible Steams
Into French Harbor and Is Sur

Boston, Dec. 29.-Four German sub
marines We're captured recently by
twelve American destroyers. according
to an American seaman who last night
reached his home here from a French
port.
The seaman. a former Boston news
paper man, was aboard a troop ship at
the French port recently, he said, when
the destroyers, all flying the Stars and
Stripes, steamed in with their four
prizes.
The submarines were lying upon the
surface of the ocean with their con-
ming towers open. during the process of
re-charg-ng their batteries, when the
American destroyers swept down upon
them and took them prisoner without
a fight.
While the transport still was at the
French port the seaman said Ger
man U-boat entered the harbor with
white flag flying from its periscope-
The enemy crew explained that the sub
mersible had been lying in wait for the
troop ship in the open sea, and that
when they failed to find her and the
supplies ran low, the crew mutinied,
killed the commander and decided to
surrender.

PERSH|NG MAY MAKE
AMERICAN CAMP DRY
STRONG DRINK, THE LIGHT
ONES PROBABLY GO.

With the American Army in France,
Friday, Dec. 2S.-(By the Associated
Press).-General Pershing, in an inter-
view with correspondents today. said
the question of prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors to American sol
diers. which he favors, is being dis
cussed with the French government.
He explained his recent order forbidding
the sale of all intOxicants, except light
wine and beer, and the conditions pre-
vailing in France which caused it to be
drawn in the form il was.
Although l am heartily in favor of
prohibition for the American expedi-
tionary force" said General Pershing.
''the situation in France and the United
States is not the same. Comparatively
few French people drink water as we
do: they drink wine instead. This is
partly because the French water sup
ply is not as sure as ours.
French wine is light and much less
intoxicating than is generally supposed.
An intoxicated Frenchman is rare
sight indeed. French beer is by no
means strong.
THE French government issues to
its soldiers a regular wine ration. OBJ
viously there are obstacles to forbidding
wine shops in the vicinity of the army
to do business at all, which practically
is what the French would have to do.
Local sentiment would play large part
in the determination of the question.
"The same order forbidding soldiers
taking strong drink contained the most
rigid regulations to prevent the spread
of the social evil. The two questions
are connected closely Thus far, the
record of the army in both respects has
been most excellent. 1t is highly graft
flying to me and is testimonial to the
high character of the American SOL
dier. Everything possible is being done
to protect his morals and his health and
to make him an honor to himself and
his countrymen."

PEACE TERMS.

Amsterdam Dec. 2s.-Pan-German
newspapers angrily condemn the peace
terms of the central powers The La

Never before have we given up so com
pletely that which was so dearly bought
with the blood of hundreds of thou
sands, with the sweat of millions, with
the deprivations of our children, with
our hunger"
The Deutsche Zeitung says that the
entente allies have won the greatest
victory of the war and that the diplo-
mats have destroyed all that has been
sought for. The Koelnische Zeitung, on
the other hand. regards the conditions
as opening the road to a peace advan-
tageous to all sides. The Lokal An

to Russia will not be much to the taste
of people of military leanings, but

AL RAILROADS
REFUSE DEMAND
FOR WAGE RAISE

Washington. Dec. 29.-The railroads
nave definitely refused the demand of
their organized employees for 40 per
cent increases in pay, and have turned
the responsibility entirely to the gov
eynment.
The railway executives here today. in
letting their decision be known, made
no concealment of their feeling that gov
ernment operation is a step toward
government ownership, and made clear
they felt the public and the stockhold-
ers would demand il.
At the same time ii became known
the railroads had refused the brother
hoods demands it was learned that the
workers had decided not to press their
request for a period of at least 80 days,
or until it is seen just what the railroad
situation will be.
