SOLDIER BOYS DO NOT PAY
Malicious and False Statements Cir.
culated That Charges Are Made
for Red Cross Garments.

A statement has been given more OF
less publicity that that the articles
made by the American Red Cross for
the benefit of the soldiers in Uncle
Sans army, and donated by the
generous hearted people of America,
are being sold to the sailors and
soldiers. Nothing can be farther
from the truth. The following letter
from H. D. Gibson, general manager
of the Red Cross, nails this lie:
"A story is being industriously cir
culated to the effect that sweaters,
socks and other articles knitted for
the Red Cross are being sold either
to the public in shops or direct to the
soldiers. 1t is very important that
you should issue a notice at once to
each chapter denying this as vigor-
ously as you know how. No articles
whatever, either knitted or otherwise
made by the Red Cross workers and
turned into any Red Cross chapter,
branch or auxiliary, or to any supply
warehouse, are sold either to the
soldiers or in shops. If any willful
case of this sort should come to the

actual instance Of the above charac-

sold articles, after their having beer
turned in to the Red Cross, such &C

the fundamental law of the Red Cross
and we would take vigorous steps to
prosecute the offender. 1t is also
true that persons, other than those

Encourage the Workers.

If you have people working for you
one way to encourage them to do more
and better work is occasionally to pick
out instances where they have shown
signs of ability and commend them
Any worker, particularly young work
er, is likely to be unable to discrim-
mate always between his good work
and his poor work. If you are his
boss it is up to you to help him distin-
guish between the two. 1t is also up
to you to take the young man in hand
and explain to him why the good job
is good and why the poor job is poor
In the first instance he will be hearing
something pleasant and inspiring, and
in the second instance he will be in a
better mood to listen to you. You can
also depend upon it that the man who
is intelligently praised for a good piece
Of work will try to duplicate that work
so that he may earn more praise

POPULAR PRINCES GO
 CALLING IN AIRCRAFT

Hanover, Germany, Feb. 1.-Two royal princes, Friedrich Sigismund and Friedrich Karl of Prussia, sons of Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prus- sia, who recently transferred from the crack cavalry regiments to which they belonged to the flying corps, have inaugurated their entry into the aerial forces by making a call, via aeroplane, on old-time officer friends stationed here.
 One Saturday afternoon a big aeroplane suddenly appeared over Hanover, and after some manoeuv- ring landed near the huge casino be- longing to the Kings Uhlans' regi- ment. When the occupants of the plane had climbed out and stripped off their headgear, goggles and other paraphernalia so as to be recOgniza- ble they were nailed as the two popu- lar princes. They spent the night i-i Hanover, and on Sunday flew back to their present station, Doeberitz,
 The princes, until their transfer, have been captains in the First and Second Body Guard Hussar regiments stationed in Danzig. They were among the most promising pupils of Dr. Kraenzlein, the American trainer engaged to prepare German athletes for the since abandoned Olympic games in 1916.

REV. q. o. TAMBLYN WOULD TAKE UP WORK
 OF THE RED CROSS

Request for three months leave of absence from church duties was pre- ,sented to the congregation of Olivet church yesterday by it's pastor, Rev. George O. Tamblyn. He asked the leave of absence that he might aid the American Red Cross society in organ izing the many branches desired in the various larger cities of the East. whether the patriotic spirit in the 1 church will be broadly extended to re- leasing their pastor from his work is questionable from the comment passed yesterday.
 sIt is felt that Mr. Tamblyn has done such exceptionally good work since his arrival in Bridgeport that even three months absence would be a severe loss to the church even though his place Is taken by Dean Charles R. Brown or the Yale Divinity school. A special meeting of the board will be held "wednesday night to pass upon the re- quest.
