TWO STEAMSHIPS
OFF ON LONG TRIP

Two steamships left for sea yester-
day, these being the British steamer
Arosa, which went out yesterday with
a cargo of railroad sleepers, and
bound for Queenstown, ard the Italian
steamship Geroloma UTloa, which was
here for supply of bunker coal and
which at the same time reloaded the
several hundred tons of oil which were
taken from the steamer to float her
from the lump into which the steamer
pushed her nose late Friday, last.
While taking coal under the chutes,
the barge Avio was berthed alongside
and the oil re-pumped into the Italian
steamers tanks. 1t was announced
yesterday that the steamer suffered
not the slightest damage from her
experience.

Grip is something of joke to those

appropriately named because grip

Remedy and carefully observe the di-

edy is highly recommended by those
who have used it and know its real
value. Obtainable everywhere.-Adv.

example. Montclair is a highbrow town
The women of Montclair probably are
as well organized for war work as any
i'm the country.
Practically the whole town is on war
footing.
These women are doing real work
not merely playing in nifty khaki uni
form
They have placed a large number Of
beds n a local hospital, ready for what
over injured may have need for them.
The, have schooled themselves prac-
icaily in home economy.
They have got after the war garden
problem in a sensible way
They have furnished am unusual guam
tty of material for the Red Cross and
an manner Of knitted comforts for sol-
diers and sailors.
When troops We're occupying the town
the women's organization furnished cier-
iral help. automobile service for officers.
portable typewriters for teld use and
other conveniences of that kind.
They provided food for a large con
tincent of troops for more than TWO DAYS
ALI the food the soldiers had during
that time
These Montclair women have done real
work. They have had the time and the
money. They have been able TO do
things.
The thing worth praising about these
women is not that they have occupied
their time, but that they have had the
unusual good sense to do something SEN
sible and worth while with their time,
They might have been content TO don
natty suits and look pleasant.

The Greatest of These Is
Not Mercy With a Must

In Chairman Chalmer's absence. the
local Red Cross week workers are giving
the campaign a direction quite at vari-
ance with the volunteer or free-will
character of this merciful enterprise.
The proposal to give publicity to as
sessments against all local corporations
to save Detroit from the shame Of fail
ing to do her part, is ill-advised.
There would be far more reproach up
on the city from being coerced into Civ
ing two millions than there would be in
falling to reach the desired amount
Forced benefcence will not help our
good name.
Neither is it fair to put those who
have already responded in the right
spirit under the implication of having
had their subscriptions forced from them.
We can understand the eagerness of
the committee to see the money coming
in faster; but they must remember it
is only the German invader who imposes
wartime assessments upon city.
The Red Cross comes as friend and
ally.
Detroit may be disturbingly deliberate
in this case; but we viii venture that our
Sunday breakfast will not be spoiled by
the news that this prideful city fell short
Of the two millions expected Of her.
