RED CROSS BULLETIN

The annual meeting of the Prowers
County Chapter of the American Red
Cross Society will be held tonight, Oc-
tober 10, 1917, at the Elks lodge room,
at which time the election of officers
for the ensuing year will be held.
The secretary and treasurer, Mr.. X.
L. Christy and Mr.. C. NJ. Lee respec-
lively are expected to submit their
reports covering the business done by
the local chapter for the portion of
the year in which it has been in ex-
istence.
As during the local campaign for
the subscription of funds something
over S1100 was raised and the women
in Lamar have been engaged in max
ing supplies for the Red Cross for
about two months the reports of the
officers will be of great interest.
More Red Cross Workers Needed
While a considerable number Of the
members of the Red Cross have been
very energetic and busy in making the
supplies needed by the Red Cross, still
the available space for workers at the
headquarters is not exhausted.
The national officers keep continual
ly urging that the supplies be made up
into their final form and shipped as
rapidly as possible as there is demand
for bandages, gauze, garments and
knitted goods at the front Not only
is this demand great but an urgent
call has been made for knitted gar
ments for the French civilian popula-
tion.
So great is the destitution among
the French people that the American
Red Cross Society has decided TO try
and relieve the suffering which would
follow if nothing were done by calling
upon each Red Cross Chapter to do
certain work for this specific pur-
pose. The Prowers County Chapter
has been called upon to furnish one
hundred full sets of knitted garments,
which are in addition to the knitted
articles to be furnished TO our own
soldiers, Of which the local chapter
has promised five hundred

WASHINGTON NOTES
Keep Politics Out of Pensions

Washington, Oct. 9.-(Special Cor
respondence)- Congressman Knutson
of Minnesota, with his usual keen in
sight into Legislative matters, sees
great danger in placing the admins
tration of the soldiers pension and in
surance bill in the hands of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. To his minI
it would make that official $50 strong
politically as to overshadow Congress
and every other department of the
government" 1t is not good policy /
put power in the hands of a political
ly appointed official to allow or deny
claims for pension according to hoy
he may choose to interpret the claim
ants application. Mr. Knutson be-
lieves that the matter of pensions
should be placed under the jurisdic-
ton of the present Pension Bureau,
where a force Of specially trained
clerks is available to administer the
will of Congress accurately and with
justice.
Drastic Taxes Disapproved
The conservative position taken by
by thrce-fourths of the senators in
expressing their disapproval of dras-
tic taxes advocated by the radicals
Of the upper house of Congress was
well stated by Senator LeBaron Colt
of Rhode Island when he said: This
is a fundamental question, because il
underlies the business prosperity Of
the country and the credit of the
government" Senator Colt estimates
that even the rates reported by the
Finance Committee, which would raise
about 30 per cent of the war expenses
Of the first year of the conflict, av-
erage per cent more than the pro-
portion that England raised during the
third year of the war, 2l per cent
more than France or Germany, and p
per cent more than Canada. Senator
Colt asserts that the English system
of finance is acknowledged to be tho
best in the world, and he thinks that
the United States should hesitate long
before taxes are assessed in a pro-
portion greater than that borne by
the United Kingdom.

Building MeAdoo's Fence

One of the interesting incidents of
the transfer Of Daniel c. Roper from
the tariff commission to the office of
commissioner Of internal revenue is
the announcement that his former po-
sition paid a salary Of $500 while his
new one will pay only S6500. A trans
fer that means a $1,000 cut in COM
pensation certainly has much signifi-
canoe, of some sort. The New York
Journal of Commerce, which calls at
tention to this reduction also gives
the information that Roper will have
under him an army of revenue agents
and collectors, which force is second
to none outside the Postoffiee depart
ment." The information is also con-
veyed that as first assistant postmas-
ter general, Roper, obtained some
valuable political schooling" 1t will
be remembered that Abraham Lincoln
said that when you find a number Of
men cutting and shaping timbers,
which, when put together, fit exactly
it is reasonable to conclude that they
were working in accordance with
plan that had been agreed upon. 1t is
safe guess that the McAdoo presi-
Dental nomination fence is being built.

How We Helped Germany

DR.. Z. f. Pratt, formerly chief Of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, asserts that the meat ex-
ported to neutral countries from the
United States during 1916 would have
sufficed to support the entire German
and Austrian armies for 275 days out
Of the year. During the same year
% per cent of all the fats required by
Germany were obtained from neutral
countries. We were selling to the
neutral countries and they were pass
ing the supplies on to Germany. And
here is what Secretary Lansing said
in his note to Earl Grey of the British
government, in defense Of such goods:
when goods are clearly intended to
become incorporated in the mass Of
merchandise for sale in a neutral
country, it is an unwarranted and in
quisitorial proceeding to detain ship
ments for examination as to whether
those goods are ultimately destined
for the enemy's country or use"
That was the attitude of our De
partment of State at a time vi
Bernstorff and his colleagues were
plotting against the United States.

my whole system was weakened and
run down and l was very pale. My
appetite had left and never became
hungry. My health had been bad for
several years. Hundreds of dollars
worth of medicines had been bought
for me, but none gave me much re-
lief, and I steadily became worse az
lost weight until I was skin and bones
almost and seemed to be slowly starv-
ing to death.

stomach was strengthened and the
indigestion left me. Now am eat

five or thirty pounds after 1 started
taking Tanlac. The home folks laugh
ut me now because eat so much. I
was just about big enough to make a
shadow when / started Tanlac, but
now l am at normal weight.
"Tanlac is the finest restorer and

be truly said that l had one foot in

DEsTRoYERs FEARED
BY UNDERSEA CRAFT

Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Oct 16 (Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press l-Di,-
ries taken from captured u-boat com.
manders furnish documentary owl
dence that the destroyer is the most
effective of present weapons against
the submarine. "Avoided destrover,
is the oft-repearted entry. In fact
these logs show conclusively that the
submarines are having a hard time
of it.
The result of the destroyer activity
during the last four weeks has been
not only decrease in casualties of
merchant ships, but also a still more
satisfactory increase in the number
of submarines sunk.
The conveying of merchantmen has
now reached stage of considerable
perfection after many months work
in training both the officers of mer-
chant ships and the personnel of the
patrol fotilla.
The offensive side of conveying
may best be shown by an illustration.
When submarine tries to torpedo a
conveyed ship-as submarines are
now compelled to do owing to the in
frequency of unconvoyed shipping
there is always a dstroyer on the
scene and the chances of her "get-
ting" that particular submarine are
correspondingly increased.
The wake of torpedo is generally
seen by the destroyer's lookouts and
it gives a good line on the direction
where the submarine is lying. The
destroyer Immediately steers a course
full speed in the line shown by the
torpedo's wake and drops repeated
depth charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion of
cases this proves effective. The AS
sociated Press correspondent was told
of three cases during the last fort
night in which submarines were thus
destroyed without any visible indi-
cation above water of their loss. Still
others are badly crippled, as in the
case of the damaged German u-boat
which was recently interned in Spain.
Another submarine which never
will return to Germany was sunk un-
der peculiar circumstances short
time ago. This u-boat torpedoed a
ship bound from the United States. 1t
, is extremely unwise and unsafe to
fire torpedo at such close range, but
the u-boats must take their targets
as they get them these days. The
:orpedocd ship was loaded with a
cargo of heavy warmaterial and the
explosion was so forcible that it blew
a large piece of heavy material
through the deck of the ship and
dropped it on the submarine as the
latter was submerging. The hull was
crushed like an eggshell and she sank
with all on board.
