Actual results from the campaign
in the city for 1918 members to the
Red Cross as nearly complete as it was
possible to obtain them, indicated that
up to Thursday evening about 1000
members had joined since the CAM
paign opened Tuesday. At the meEA-
bership headquarters of c. ii. T.

have been kept busy taking subscrip-
tons and handling supplies. no effort
was made to heep a record of mem
bership. At the Iowa Savings Bank a
total of s1,097 had been deposited for
membership.
The efforts OF women who began
canvassing the business districts We'd
nesday were seen Thursday and to-
dav in the increasing number OF Red
Cross banners, many Of them with the
100 per cent stickers on them, that
were displayed in show windows. the
canvass Of the business district VIII
probably not be completed until next
week.
The number Of unsolicited member
ships that are coming in at member
ship headquarters indicates that many
people are realizing that no canvass
of the residence sections of the city IS
to be made. About the only way these
memberships may be obtained is by
going to the headquarters and getting
them. It has not been deemed possible
TO attempt to make house-to- house
canvass for so small amounts as 81
memberships.
The campaign is being embarrassed
somewhat by the lack of supplies OF
posters and buttons. Most of the but
tons were gone this forenoon and re-
peated kilograms to Red Cross head
quarters have so far failed 10 procure
as large stocks OF campaign supplies
as are needed. In spite of these short

Believe |. W. w. Responsible
For South Dakota Farm Fires

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 5-(Spe-
cial. 1.-Two farm fires in the vicinity
of Britton are believed to have been
due to activities on the part of mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World organization. The large barn
on the farm of Henry Sasse was COM
pletely destroyed. The barn con-
tanned only few sets of harness and
about three tons of hay.
At about the same time as this fire
some unknown person ran two boxes
of matches through separator be-
longing to James Shaft, which was
operating on another farm only a
few miles away. Quick action saved
the machine from destruction. The
farmers of the neighborhood are thor
oughly aroused and are talking of or
ganizing vigilance committee for the
capture and summary punishment of
those responsible for these acts of
vandalism. t...

Wednesday over the strike, situation
at Armour & Co.'S packing plant.
At noon Wednesday E. l.. phipps,
superintendent at the Swift plant, an
nounced that employees would be given
a 2N-cent raise. They were receiving

AT s o'clock Armour's received a
wire from their Chicago offices au-
thorizing a 2Mcent increase. r. C.
Howe, manager, told the heads Of the
departments to announce to their men
that they would receive 21f4cent
raise, this to apply to all of the women
and men employed.
Mr.. Howe talked to the strikers
Wednesday afternoon, saying:
Time for Patriotism.
1--WE are as important to the United
States in the present war as a muni-
ton factory. This is time for pa
triotism. The troops need the food
we send as much as they need muni-
tions. This Is a poor time for us to
refuse to do our BIT" "a. i
He told the men of the 100000
pounds OF bacon consigned to DEM
ing, N. M, for the troops, and of sew
eral cars Of fresh beef for Fort Riley,
Kans., which could not be moved be-
cause of the strike.
The men listened quietly while Mr..
Howe spoke, but after he had gone
they murmured among themselves and
some of them delivered speeches.
Mr.. Howe made no mention of the
2K-cent raise when he spoke to the
strikers, but said:
Wants Men to Come Back.
IT wish the men to come back to
work and then we will be in posi-
tion to discuss their grievances. / do
not care to discuss prices with men
who are not in our employ"
There is much talk as to the effect
of the 2H-cent increase. Some per-
sons believe that it will end the strike
at Armour's and will prevent any dis
turbance in other plants here. Some
of the strikers say they will hold out
for Scent raise. Many of the men
have not decided what to do, but seem
to be waiting to see what action 9TH
ers will take.
Fifteen beef luggers in the Cudahy
plant struck at noon Wednesday.

The strike Wednesday stirred South
Omaha as it has not been stirred for
several years. The men gathered in
the soft drink places close to- the
packing plant and at every stump
speech and at every suggestion of

the street. For the most part they

Acting upon orders from Chief oi

They found eighty-one barrels of

A truck was called from the Oma-

the liquor to the police station in

MAY DOMINATE PLATEAU.
Now that his troops have taken
this peak the way seems cleared for
General Cadorna to complete his
domination of the Baisizza plateau
and push on into the Chiapavono val
ley, driving wedge in between the
Austrian northern and southern
armies on the Isonzo front.
On the Franco British front the
British hail of shells being dropped
upon the German lines in Flanders
is causing the Germans to contem-
plate abandoning wide expanse of
territory there now being swept by
General Haig's big guns and those of
the French cooperating with him in
the Belgian campaign.
The launching of the next entente
push is apparently imminent and as
a measure of preparations the Ger
mans are reported to be removing
the civilian population of a district
extending twelve miles or more to
the east of the present front in West
Flanders, as far as the Thourout-
Courtrai line, embracing an area of
some 200 square miles. s...
To Flood LowIands.
One theory advanced for the re-
ported evacuation is that the German
command, dreading the effect of, the.
next drive, is preparing to food the
lowlands by diyerting water from
the River Scheldt, thus blocking al:
lied progress. Another supposition
is that the Germans, lacking the men
to hold the present lines firmly
enough, are preparing for another
strategic retreat"
Meanwhile the air forces on both
sides are active, not only Immediately
back of the opposing lines, but in
widely extended fields. Germany is
pushing its air campaign against Eng
land to an extent that is leading Lon
don to wonder, as one newspaper ex-
presses it, if Germany has got cts
great air offensive" ready before that
of the British.
The British have carried out ex-
tensive bombing raids in Belgium,
hitting the Bruges docks, where the
Germans have submarine base, a
heavy blow. Airdromes also were
bopbarded with good effect.
