need for finished garments for the
tackles:
Mrs Geo. ". Woolford.
Cambridge, Md.
Dear Madam:
We would ask that you kindly
have all your workers turn in their
finished garments as quickly as pos
sible, and we would appreciate il II
YOU would let us have them at your
earliest convenience. We are daily
receiving requests from ships for the
comfort garments, and large organi-
cations are appealing to US Tor assis-
tance in helping them outfit great
numbers of men, as the weather is
now very cold in some districts where
the men are doing duty, and it is
very essential tina: we get these gar
ments TO them as quickly as possible.
The Navy League will continue its
work as formerly, under our new
chairman, Mrs. Howard Hubbard,
who. as you know, has been actively
interested. and We are hoping for the
hearty cooperation of all our work
ers as never before. The winter is
coming on, and we should have one
hundred thousand garments to turn
over to our men within the next few
months.
Thanking you for the splendid
work you have done in the past, and
hoping for greater success for the
future, |. beg TO remain,
Very truly,

.TOCIVE FRENCH XMAS TREE
Caroline County Conscript'S Tempt
ing Offer From Foster Father.

fredericksburg, Md, Sept. 27.-A
check for S100 is awaiting Frank l..
Smith, OF this town, for each and
every German he kills while at war.
Smith is one of the men who was
drafted in Caroline county's quota
for the new army and will leave for
Camp Meade next Tuesday. The Off
er was made him by Webster w. Kin
der, wealthy retired farmer, with
whom Smith has lived since the aged
farmer took him out of a children's
home when he was quite young. A
great fondness developed between
Smith and his foster father.
At the time Smith was drafted he
was paying court to Miss Dorothy
Andrews. popular Caroline county
school teacher. They became engag-
ed and when Smith was drafted the
wedding was hurried up and this
week he was married to Miss An
drews at the home of her parents II
Denton by the Rev. T. o. Grouse, a
Methodist Protestant minister. On
learning that Smith and Miss An
drews had been married, Kinder had
his will changed and in the new one
he says Smith and his war bride are
well cared for. The newlyweds are
enjoying their honeymoon at Allan
tic City.

REPENTANCE BEFORE PEACE
Allies Will Pursue World Better
Crusade to the End.

London Sept. 29.-NiScOunt Mill,
minister without portfolio in the Brit.
ish war council, speaking at the Amer
lean Luncheon club, declared against
any peace with the "unrepentant Ger
man rulers"
Viscuunt Miners speech obviously
was an answer to the peace talk fit
ering from Germany in past weeks.
He declared il was the intention OF
the entente allies 10 pursue "uufalter
ingly and resClutely to the end" their
crusade. so the world shall be better
place 10 dive in than befOre-a world
dominated by other law than the law
of the jungle.
"In the contest between German ag.
gressiveness. naked and unashamed,
with unbridled lust for power on one
side and the awakened conscience OF
the rest of the world on the other,
there can be but one war aim for us.
Our war aim is this: That the kind
of Justice which Germany melted out
to Belgium shall In the future be i'm
possible in this earth. In the face
of that war aim nothing else matters"

How Mary Roberts Rhinehart
Cares For Family And Writes

| Mary Roberts Rinehart has writ
ten a wonderful Article for the Octo-
Der American Magazine called My
| Creed and in it she says:
! Now and then my domesticity and
| my ambitions clash. This ambition,
! by the way, is not to be, but to do.
| 1t is part of the desire to live a
! full life, to be a part of my times. 1
have never wanted or expected TO be
| famous. Even such success as has
| come to me never ceases to surprise
me- Also | do not do things because
| want to write 2bout them. | do
! them and then | frequently write
about them. | did not go to the war,
! for instance, because | felt that any
thing ! could write about il would
add TO the history of this tortured
period anything Of material value. L
went because | wanted to see war. 1t
is the same with all of my travelling,
with the wilderness trips We take.
Now and then. however, comes a
time when it is fatty the family or
my work. Every woman of the many
who are carving out careers for
themselves, whether it be on the
stage or the concert platform, or in
small way IN Salaf1e0 position,
| knows what this is. 1t never hap
| pens 10 the man. His work is always
first. And he cannot always under
stand the woman's struggle. Be
cause with her it is matter of ira
dition as we'll as of conscience. She
may be able TO employ skillful peo-
| pie to take her place in the home.
! She may install 4 housekeeper and a
! trained nurse. Always, if she be Il
| true woman, there is going on in her
the struggle. Perhaps, in a few years
| it will be the accepted thing to con-
slider that, having brought her chill
dren into the world, mother may
then pursue gainful occupation
without further serious responsible
" for them. | nope not, but l fear

SlOO FOR EVERY GERMAN
Seaford Raises $40 ut Entertainment
Given by Returned Nurse.

Seaford, Del. Sept. 27.-An enter
tainment, the proceeds of which will
go toward giving the wounded sol
diers in hospital near Paris a
Christmas tree, was given here last
night Mrs. Lucille Ross Jones, dau-
ghter of the late William Ross, of
this town, who has been near the
firing line in France since the begin
ming of the war and whose husband
was killed in action while leading a
Canadian charge against the German
line, had charge of the program and
gave an interesting talk on her ex-
periences while nursing wounded SCI
diers A number of slides showing
some of the horrors of the war and
some Of the beauty of France were
shown.
The money realized from the en-
tertainment, which amounted to
about S45, will be taken to France by
Mrs. Jones when she sails about Oct.
l, and the tree will be known as'The
Seaford Christmas Tree" She has
with her number of toys which
have been carved by the wounded
French soldiers and is rapidly dispos-
ing of them. Mrs Jones is devoting
her life and money to the hospital
work in France.
-O--
Complaint has been heard from
of our soldiers over there are brag-
ging that their Uncle Sam is going TO
show France and Great Britain how
to wage war. 1t would be better to
keep still about that, and just show
the Germans how.
The average man tries to console
himself with the belief that he isn't
half as big fool as he used to be
When big man finds himself face
to face with a little woman at the
head of the stairs at about a. m,
his bravery is put to a severe test.
Occasionally you see woman's
hat that really does look like one.
Somehow the average man doesn't
feel called upon to repent until after
he has been caught with the goods.
Her Adorer-I cannot live without
your daughter. Her Old Man-F'or-
get your pride-there are always the
bread line and the soup kitchens.

BY HARD BLOWS WE
 JAN MN HE WAR
GENERAL PERSHING GIVES OUT EMPHATIC INTERVIEW ON
 SITUATION.
COOPERATE WITH ALLIES
Pershine Says We Cannot Defeat the Germans By Talk or Subscribing To Red Cross-We Must Arm and
 Equip Big Army.

Paris.-Maj Gen. Pershing, the American commander, told the Asso- ciated Press that the war can be won only by hard and forceful blows delivered by a well-triAned An e,ican army working in conjunction with the allied armies
 Deploring the lukewarmness of the American people in regard to the war, Gen. Pershing added
 Every man, woman and child should support the administration in it's determination to arm and equip the American army and to keep up it's morale and that of the allied ar mics. This war will not De won by talk or by subscribing to the Red Cross. The American people must come to full realization of what the war means It can be won only by striking hard and forceful blows, not otherwise"
 The general was very emphatic in the interview, which lasted but a few minutes
The Green Forest tribune., 1917-08-24
RE- ORGANIZATION OF
 ARMY IS DETAILED
ADVANTAGES OF THE EUROPEAN STANDARDS ARE RECOGNIZED
 -OVERHEAD EXPENSES LESS.

Washington.-Complete reorganiza- ton of all branches of the American army to conform with European standards, as recommended by Maj. Gen. Pershing, is provided for in army orders revealing that the recently an nounced divisional reorganization plan is to be carried down into the regiments and companies.
 The administrative unit of the in- fantry arm hereafter will be a com pany with 250 enlisted men and six commissioned officers, in place of something over 100 laen and three of ficers. The comp". will be divided into four platoons, each in command of a lieutenant There will be two captains as first and second in com mand one first lieutenant and three second lieutenants. Reports of the review of American troops in France show that this plan already has been carried out in Gen. Pershing's forces. The object of assigning two captains to each company, it is said, is to pro- vide against disorganiZation of the unit through the loss of it's command CT The second commander. under the European system, does not go in- to battle line with the company if his senior is present. He is held as reserve to reorganize the company if necessary.
 Under the new plan each regiment will have three battalions of four companies, making a total of 5000 men. Supplemented by regimental quarters. supply and machine gun or ganizations, the strength of the new regiments will be brought up to ap- proximately 3,6O0 men. as against lit tie more than 2000 iii existing war strength regiments The unit organi- zation of the field artillery and other arms of the service has not been changed. As a result of reducing the number of regiments in a division the division. instead of 2S,000 men, will total hereafter about 19.000 men, l5,- 900 of them infantry.
 The advantages of the system, in addition to the better adaptation of the divisional unit to trench warfare, lies chiefly in the reduction in over head expense. One colonel and his regimental staff, including his three battalion commanders, now will handle 3.600 men instead of d litlla more than 2,000.

CHINA DECLARES
 WAR ON GERMANY
TO ARRAY ITSELF AGAINST CENTRAL POWERS.

New York-Official notification that China has declared war on Germany and Austria Hungary has been receiv- ed both in London and at Washing ton. China is the seventeenth nation to array itself with the entente allies against the central powers. The de- cison of the Chinese cabinet to de- clare war was reached August ?. and the action of the members of the min istry was approved by Feng Kwo Chang, acting president of the repub- lie. The announcement comes almost simultaneously with the latest appeal for peace by Pope Benedict.
 No great changes have taken place on the battlefields of Europe. North, east of Ypres in Flanders British troops have forced German posts to retire across the Steenbeke river, which lies east of the Ypres-Thorout railway and in the region of Lange- marck. The British held their gain and re-established their line on the eastern bank of the river. Elsewhere from the coast to St. Quentin the artillery firing has increased in some sections and the British have carried out several successful raids, the most impCr tant of which was in the enyi- rons of Lens by the Canadians
 French reconnoitering parties have penetrated the German lines near Rheims in two places. Elsewhere i'll Champagne, as well as at Cerny in the Aisne front and in the Carspath sector the French repulsed German surprise attacks.
 The Russians and Rumanians have checked, for the time being, the Of fensive of Fled Marshal von Mac Kenzen in the region Of Tokshani. while in Western Moldavia the Ru manians continue successfully their counteroffensive. In the Cvna-Gro- zechti region, the Austro-Germans have been dislodged from the village of Slanic, as well as from heights southwest of Grozechti
 North of Fokshani the Russians and Rumanians beat back several strong attacks by the enemy. Berlin reports continued heavy fighting around Fox shani, claims little advances for the Teutons and says RussoRumanian at. tacks were checked.

Property owners in Eagle township 15 miles southeast of Little Rock, filed a petition in Chancery Court seeking to restrain commissioners of Road Improvement District No. ' from mdk- ing a contract for the construction of a $40,000 highway in that township. This is the second injunction suit filed by the property owners.
 Two years ago the district was created under the provisions of the act which provides that first two pc titions must be circulated, one to initiate, the other to be signed by owners of a majority in value of the property in the district. To the lat ter petition, according to the law, must be attached blue prints contain ing the specifications and the costs of the improvement. An injunction suit was filed by the owners of the property seeking to annul the district on the ground that there had not been compliance with the act in re- gard to the circulation of the peti- tions. A new law was passed by the 1917 legislature curing the defect in the organization of the district.
 The petition filed by J. A. Conner attorney for E. M Faver and other property owners, alleges that the statutes of 1917 curing the defect of organization of the district is uncon- stitutional It alleges that the board was never properly created because of the failure to attach to the second petition blueprints for the informa- ton of the property owners of the district. The property owners main tain that they have never been in formed as to the type of road to De constructed.
 The case will be heard in Charcery Court September 25.

FULFILL
 THEIR CONTRACTS
NEED NOT VIOLATE AGREE MENTS FOR BOOKS TO INSTALL
 UNIFORM COURSE.
OPINION ATTORNEY GENERAL
Special Districts Having Adopted Same Text-Rooks as County, Spe- ciaI Districts Will Be Required To
 Abide By Contract Made.
Little Rock.


 Discussion of the provisions and enforcement of the Uniform Text Book featured the session of the law enacted by the recent legislature county superintendents in the Senate chamber at the state capitol. Attor- ney General John D. Arbuckle was called on to explain the law.
 It was said that counties having unexpired contracts with book com panies for furnishing specified text books, which are not in conformity with the uniform text book law. should abide by their contracts until they expire. Varied discussion was caus- ed by the question as to whether spe- ciaI school districts in counties with unexptred contracts should abide by the contracts made by the county or should come immediately under the law
 Attorney General Arbuckle said that under the law a special school district has the privilege of selecting its own text books, regardless Of the county adoption. and that these spe- cial districts would come immediately under the state law unless they have unexpired contracts. However. if the special districts have adopted the same text books as the county, the special districts will be required 10 abide by the contract made by the county.
 The supermtendents also took I'D the plans for courses of study in ths grade schools. Representatives of book companies and the state depcsr- tory. Allsopp & Chapple, made talks. About 35 county superintendents at tended the meeting.
