Practically every high school in the
city has instituted military training
Several companies Of cadets and near
~ a hundred high school Red Cross
nurses paraded through the loop to-

An unusual situation faced the re-
cruiting officers the past few days
when scores Of girls applied for en-
listment for active service aboard
ships as yeomen. Two wanted tc
join the army. They were urged to
enlist in the Red Cross service.
The roads have been organizing to
move troops. A committee of railway

SCORE OF LIVES
LOST IN SINKING
OF THE HEALDTON
American Tank Steamer
Falls Victim of a Subma-
rine While in One Of the
Designated Safety Zones

London, March 23.--At least a score
persisted in the unwarned sinking by
German submarine of the Standard
Oil tanker Healdton, according to lat
est information available here today.
The ship, was torpedoed five miles
north of Terschelling, Holland, in the
middle of what has heretofore been
announced by Germany as one of the
safety zones" in the barred area.
Thirteen survivors have been landed at
Ymuiden, Holland, of total of more
than 40 on beard the vessel.
One Holland dispatch today quoted
survivors as declaring that three life
boats left the sinking Healdton. Two
of these, one with seven men and a
second with 10. were picked up. The
third, reported to contain 81 men, is
still missing.
Not all of the Healdton's crew were
Americans and it is not stated in Hol-
land dispatches whether those missing
were United States citizens. Some dis
patches from Ymuiden declared at
least a dozen men had been killed or
injured by the explosion of the tor
pedo which sank the Healdton.

ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next. but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound Of limestone

make anyone real crank on the sub

Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and

hot water act on the stomach, liver,

important to battle on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
don't absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.--Adv.

many.
London, Holland and New
York rumors that trouble
has been brewing in Ger
many are merely the result
of the entente's wish being
father to the thought.
THE COUNTRY UNITED.
Germany is united, confident and
with no signs of any revolution
German officials today were amused
at the circulation in entente channels
Of such a report. They attributed II
first to nervousness felt by Germany S
enemies over the Russian revolution.
And the Russian revolution itself they
attributed to failure of the allies to
make any gain which might be con-
strued as advancing their cause toward
victory.
Not only German officials but the
German people are entirely satisfied
with the results Of the submarine war;
fare. They are satisfied with the pro-
gress of the war. They are satisfied to
make sacrifices because they are sat
isfied of victory. The German people
are entirely content with present con-
aitiols. ..
GUARANTEE OF THE FUTURE.
The promise made by the imperia
chancellor, Won Bethmann- Hollwes
recently in the Prussian diet of future
liberties is a guarantee to the people

The retreat of the German forces on
the western front is not causing alarm
on the contrary, it is regarded with
