RED CROSS BALL DRAWS
A RECORD ATTENDANCE
NETS $500 FOR LOCAL CHAPTER
YOUNG LADIES RECEIVE
MUCH PRAISE.

-HE RED CROSS ball last Mon
day evening was the biggest So
cial event that has been held in
Wallace in many a day. and
from the standpoint of numbers and
thorough enjoyment it has perhaps
never been equalled in the history or
the city. Measured from financial
standpoint, the ball was even great
er success than socially, for 1t was
the means of turning $500 into the
treasury of the local Red Cross So
ciety. AS revenue raiser the Red
Cross ball established a record In this
city, and the question naturally sug-
gests itself, who was responsible Tor
this great social and financial success?
The plan was conceived and carried
out by bevy of bright girls. few or
them over 16 years, but all prompted
by an earnest and patriotic desire to
help the Red Cross society in its noble
and unselfish work With an enthu-
siasm and energy born of youth ana
worthy cause, these girls went forth
election day wearing the sign of the
society which has the protection or
every civilized nation. They We're
neutral in the election and they SOLD
tickets to both sides, and indeed II
was a rare occasion to find man
who could refuse to give up a dollar
for a ticket offered by one Of those
winsome girls. Having sold the tic
kets, they declined all assistance from
older heads in the working out OF de-
tails for the dance. and finally when
some of the more sedate and formal
matrons of the Red Cross society sug-
gested that patronesses should be
named to officiate at the dance In or
der to give dignity to the occasion,
the suggestion was promptly rejected
by the girls. Having accomplished the
main object, getting the cash, in their
own way they felt fully equal TO
the task of handling the social end OF
it. Events proved that they were
right. Every one of the great throng
was made to feel that he was well
come and joy was unconhned.
The Red Cross Girls.
Here are the names of the girls
who sold the tickets for and managed
the big Red Cross ball

Klamath Lake, oregon, was made a
reserve for wild birds by proclama-
ton issued by President Roosevelt in
1908, and it has become the resting
place for every water fowl known to
the west. An effort is now being
made to have the protection of the
government withdrawn to permit the
lake being drained and the land used
for agricultural purposes. A great
protest is being made by all who are
interested in bird life against abolish
ing the reserve, and it is hoped that
sufficient pressure will be brought to
bear to prevent it. If you are in
favor of maintaining this home for the
birds, write to Secretary Lane, of the
interior department, and register your
protest

GLASSES Shattered
FOR Twenty Miles
Du Pont ManitiOuS Plant At
Haskell, n. ]. Blows Up

New York, Jan. 12.-Four hund-
red thousand pounds of powder was
destroyed when the munitions plant
of the DUPONT Co. at Haskell, N. J.
was destroyed by explosion and fire.
There were two explosions. Build
ings were scattered and windows
broken as far as twenty miles away
from the scene of the exposion.
Other buildings around the plant
and many in the village which was
built in semi-circle around the
works were shattered by force of
ths conclusion.
Haskell is located in a remote Sec
ton of Passica country and tele-
graphic and telephone communica-
tions with New York ceased after
the explosion. ~
The shock was so great that many
persons in New York and Brooklyn
believed the explosion to be an
earthquake.
Following so closely upon the
heels of the destruction of the
Kingsland plant of the Canadian
Car Foundry Co., the explosion
threw all of Northern New Jersey
in panic. The sky was crimsoned
by the conflagration and the flames
were visible as far away as Yonkers.

PERSnING COMING
OUT OF MEXICO
Ambassador WilI Co To Mex
leo Next Week Says Report

Washington, Jan. 12.-The send
ing of Ambassador Fletcher to Mex
leo and the withdrawal of the
Pershing expedition across the bor-
der are the next moves planned by
the administration in the Mexican
situation according to information
from the Nations capitol.
Careful study Of the Mexican sit
uation by those close to the admins
tration say the situation is still bad
and that reports from Mexico are
not encouraging.
In determining to withdraw
Pershing the administration is un-
derstood to have been influenced
chiefly in the matter by the unani-
nous belief of army officials that
the troops are in poor stragetic
position and would be of more ser
vice in protecting the border if
brought back to the American side
to relieve the National Guardsmen
now held there. Notice has already
been given of the intention of the
United States to send other expe-
ditions into Mexico whenever the
operations of lawless forces on that
sih make it necessary.
Secretary Lane and other Am
erican members of the joint COM
mission will meet the Mexican re-
representatives. in New York Monday
where the final session of the joint
commission is expected to be held.

Baton Rouge, La, Jan. 12.-The
United States Torpedo fleet which Is
here for a weeks stay, and which
will be in Morgan City next month
came very near terminating their
stay at the State capital yesterday
when the sailors were snubbed by
society at dance given in their
honor by the Chamber of Commerce.
The dance was one of the two
dances planned by the Chamber of
Commerce for the bluejackets while
they were in Baton Rouge. 1t was
managed by the young men of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The sailors say that when asked
to dance the young ladies would re-
ply that, "they didn't dance" or
they "were not dancing this one"
and would then 60 off dancing with
a civilian. One Instance was report
ed to Lieutenant Simpson where a
mother cautioned her daughter that
if she danced with sailor she would
have to leave.
The climax came according to the
sailors when at ten o'clock sailors
special'' was called, no girls would
dance with them. They danced

among themselves and then left the
hall in body. The men looked upon
the affair as direct Insult and the
officers backed them in their stand.
After heading a report of the af-
fair from the men of the vessel this
morning Lieutenant Simpson drew
up telegram to the secretary Of
the navy asking for permission to
leave Baton Rouge Immediately. It
took two hours of diplomatic upon
the part Of city officials and a public
apology from them to keep Lieuten-
ant Simpson from sending the tele-
gram.
l dislike very much to take this
action but the character Of our men
is above reproach and l feel the
treatment accorded them cannot be
overlooked, Lieutenant Simpson
told Mayor Grouchy this morning
when negotiations were opened.
After two hours of peace negotia-
tions and a public apology from the
mayor for the insult the commander
decided not to send the telegram
and the fleet will remain until Jan.
17th and will participate in the GEN.
tennial celebration in this city.
