remarked Geo. Altman last Friday as
he unloaded a load of fine apples at

PLAYED BALL AND SOLD POP

When the ladies of this vicinity
start anything they are sure to make
success of it. This statement has been
made few times in this city and the
truth of it was demonstrated again
Wednesday. Two weeks ago the ladies
announced they were going to play
game of base ball and that the net
proceeds would>be turned over to the
Red Cross fund. The game was a
friendly contest between the married
and unmarried ladies and was played
at the fair grounds Wednesday after
noon Not only did the ladies play
base ball but they sold pop, ice cream
and soft drinks, and when the cash
had $321.46 as reward for their
work. The net proceeds will amount
to about $275.
The game was witnessed by one of
the largest crowds which has ever at
tended a ball game in this city. Nearly
everybody in this vicinity was there
and some came in from the surround
ing towns. There were 169 cars on the
grounds. The game was a good one
afflicted with stage fright in the first
inning the result would have been very
close, and they might have won the
game. The score was IT to 9 in favor
of the unmarried nine. There was
some of the ladies in both teams who
can play base ball and with a little
more practice would be good players.
The game was both lost and won in
the first half of the first inning when
the unmarried ladies ran in ten scores.
The advertisements announced that
there would be ''fun" at the game and
they were no exaggeration. It started
when the players, managers and as
sistants began to appear on the street
in costume. The ladies brass band was
a very attractive feature and the uni
forms worn were very unique but
somewhat inconvenient at times to
the wearers. The uniforms were ladies
wearing apparel properly fitted to the
boys composing the Wa-Keeney band.
but made good music and deserve
rslsssh credit for the part they took.
Miss Jake Hickman was the official
umpire and fun maker for the doings.
The antics were original and brought
out on the spur of the moment, Great
ing many a hearty laugh. In fact they
were so amusing, that one little tot,
laughging with enjoyment, asked
''Is he to do oil of p" There is an
other sure thing and that is that Char
ley Brown doesn't intend to be kissed
in public by anyone wearing skirts
either man or woman.
The ladies of the Red Cross chap
ter worked very hard selling ice cream
and cool drinks but are much pleased
with the profits received. The proceeds
from the movie at the Garden Theater
in the evening were given to the Red
Cross fund, but owing to the disagree
able weather which came up just when
the crowd should have come to the
show, the net proceeds were not as
satisfactory as was desired. However,
the afternoon was one Of much enjoy
ment and profit for the Red Cross
fund and will be long remembered by
the citizens of this county.

SECOND CONTINGENT HOSPITAL
CORPS ARRIVES SAFELY
IN EUROPE.
King and Queen Personally Welcome
Members of Hospital Corps Upon
Their Arrival at London-Will See
Duty at the Front.

London-"Am engineers are
here" was the huge headline in extra
editions of the evening newspapers
Wednesday. The cheering news
spread like wildfire through the Brit.
ish Isles.
Discreetly and unannounced, train
carrying the first unit of American en-.
gineers, members of the U. S. army
engineer corps, pulled into London
from "some British port"
simultaneously it became known
that the second contingent Of the
American hospital corps had reached
Great Britain.
King George and Queen Mary, ac-
companied by the prince Of Wales and
Princess Mary, received and extended
a welcome to the surgeons and nurses
of Americas initial detachment from
the army, which shortly will take its
place beside the British allies at the
fighting front in France. 1t was a
simple but impressive ceremony, one
which will stand as a landmark in
American history as the first OF its
kind to occur within the walls OF
Buckingham palace.

FILIPINOS SIDE WITH U. S
No DisIoyaI Note Found In ISLANDS
But Offers Come To Make
Any Sacrifices.

Manufacturing the most remark
able development os the war situation
in the Philippines has been the start
ling unannimity with which Filipino
leaders, newspapers and people have
taken the American attitude as thei-
own.
Except for the fear of one Filipino
newspaper that this war might mean
employment of Filipino troops in
Europe, there was discordant note
in the loyalty given the American
cause. Every newspaper claimed the
cause of America as its own, and
many of them held Inat the Filipino
people were ready to make any sac
rifice to help the United States, not
alone through gratitude, but through
an appreciation Of the high-minded
ideals for which Americans had en-
tered the struggle.
The Filipino Veterans association,
composed entirely of men who had
fought in the instruction of 1900
against the United States, offered its
services in any capacity to the gov
ernorgeneral.

GERMANS ADVISED
OF FL0T|LLA FLEET
HAD AMPLE TIME TO PLANT
MINES IN HARBoR AFTER DE-
STROYERS STARTED.
INVESTIGATES SPY SYSTEM
Rigid Probe Being Made To Unearth
Spies From Both Navy and Army
Departments Many Arrests
Already Made.

Washington.-Th German spy sys.
tenn is in operation within the U. S.
army and fleet Not only are spies OBJ
tanning the information they want in
this country, but they are able to get 1t
to Berlin in time for German submar-
ines to menace American warships
and soldiers on the sea.
: This omission was made by the
navy department. Secretary Daniels
announced that word of the sailing Of
the American foltilla for Europe had
been wired ahead to Germany and
that German submarines had succeed
ed in scattering mines at the entrance
to Queenstown harbor, for which the
American warships were bound.
Information involving even the des-
tination of the destroyer fleet could
have come from only two sources
the navy department or the fleet.
That the German espionage system
could have extended it's tentacles into
the very heart of the naval establish
ment has been shock to officials.
F.. The fact that the information reach
ed Germany with little or no delay is
expected to result in thorough in
vestigation of the censorship estab-
lished by the navy department. Only
two methods were open to German
operatives in sending the information
home-wireless and cable. Both are
completely under naval control There
are only two wireless stations in this
country from which the message could
have been sent-Sasville and Tucker
ton. The cables also are under a naval
censorship. 1t is quite impossible,
in the view of officials, that the mes
sage could have gone over either the
British or French cables, the only
other construction is that it went
