He was lonesome and had never re-

I'm yesterdays mail alone he re-
ceiyed 1000 letters, nineteen special

four ordinary parcels. It happens he
can neither read nor write. Mr.. Gregg
made an examination and he found
nineteen soldiers sitting about him
helping him read the mail and they
had lots Of fun at the expense OF

nett, commandment Of the corps, made
public last night. The project in
wolves q total cost OF $4,000. 900, and

viii be impracticable hereafter, the
report says, to quarter the expedi-
tionary forces in the navy yards or
stations.
General Barnett says the corps
has successfully met every test Of the
past year. and has lent itself well to
war time expansion to 10000 men,
the spirit OF the personnel being
shown by the fact that a re-enlist-
ment percentage Of 46.3 per cent in
1915 rose to sS.4 in 1917, with the
declaration OF war.

CALLS
ON SOCIALISTS
As Much Their Fight as
.Anybody's He Says in
Scranton Speech
Nv Associated Press. }

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 13.-Pacifists
and Socialists were called upon here
last night by Secretary Redfield to
take their stand by other peace-lov-
ing peoples in the fight against Ger
man autocracy.
The deep causes OF the contest
call as imperatively upon the pacifist
and the Socialist as upon the rest OF
our people," he said THE fine fiow-
er of human happiness which pacifist
and Socialist alike claim to seek does
not grow out of, cannot be nurtured
by the brutal doctrine OF blood and
iron. One may indeed respect the
ideals that pacifists and Socialists
seek, but must deeply regret the lack
of vision which prevents their seeing
realities through the mist of war"
Mr.. Redfield spoke before the
Scranton Board OF Trade on the
underlying causes of the war, which
he asserted called imperatively on
"every one of us" for sacrifice and
effort.
eff ever a nation has just cause
for battle, it is we" said he. I'VE
stand as those who are thrice blest,
having their quarrel just. On the
face of the record. in the face of the
deeds done by Germany we do well
to fight"

CBy Associated Press.O

St Paul Mimi. Dec. 13.-Warn-
ing against the danger Of paper
money imitation as . means Of fnanc-
ing the war was given today by
Chairman Frank A Vanderlip. OF the
var saving committee, in addressing
= bankers luncheon in behalf Of the
war saving stamps campaign
The government faced q shortage
OF men and material, not money, he
declared and therefore the printing
press could never satisfy the needs
arising from the war.
There are some impressive reasons
why this campaign for economy
should have the strongest support OF
men OF large affairs. OF great cor
porationS, OF savings banks and OF
all interests that are concerned
with the future security values" Mr..
Vanderlip continued. The alterna-
tive OF financing this war out Of cur
rent savings will be the attempt TO
