is open to all girls without regard to
race or creed, the members one obi
cation being to sign the pledge of the
league and to have the spirit to keep 1t.
In It's efforts to develop the patriotic
spirit the league workers believe there
will be a relegation of what they call
the lure of the Khaki to its proper
position. The Y. w. G. A. works only
with women and girls, but this is dis
tinctly a war work, as the attitude OF
the young girls in towns and women In
the vicinity of the camps will have
definite effect upon the young soldiers.
With the league clubs of all kinds
for the girls are being formed to give
than varied interests of their own.
One of these Is in the form Of a camp
for factory girls, workers of factory
now closed, outside Plattsburg. The
girls have club leaders, recreation lead
ers, and they have hikes and athletics.
The clubs and organizations are con-
fined to no one class of girls. Many Of
them are among the high school girls
of the different places.
The pledge Is as follows:
pledge to express my patriotism by do
ing better than ever before whatever work
I have to do: by rendering whatever spe-
cial service can at this time to my COM
munity and country; by living up to the
highest standards of character and honor.
and by helping others to do the same.
Practically nothing is done for the
entertainment and welfare Of the
young girl when she is at the most i'm
questionable age, the women of the as
ISOLATION say. Now they are receiving
calls for help from the different places
where the bringing together Of large
bodies of soldiers and the emotional
conditions developed in a country at
war will be strongly felt by the young
girls Of the community. Through the
patriotic league the girls win lc:su ~
express their patriotism worthlly, and
through the clubs organized they will
be entertained and will have an oppor-
tunity to normally expend their emo
lions.
Hostess houses to entertain the
friends and relatives of the soldiers of
the camps, are being built out of the
81 100000 war fund. The hostess
houses are put up only on invitation
Of the commandant of camp or some
one else in authority.
feature of the work of the hostess
house is the attendance OF women of
social position in and around New
York, who take turns in acting as
hostess at the week ends. Among
those who have done this are Mrs.
James S. Cushman. president Of the
executive committee of the war work
council; Mrs. Francis De Lacy Hyde
of Plainfeld, N. j., and Mrs Robert
Lovett OF Locust Valley. N. Y.

After a careful investigation Of the
present gasoline situation, Mr., Van H..
Manning. Director of the Bureau OF
Mines, of the Department of the In
terror, has issued the following state
ment:
One-half of the gasoline used in the
United States tone billion two hun
dred and fifty million gallons) is used
in pleasure riding.
1t is estimated that the United
States army will need three hundred
and fifty million gallons for aero
planes, trucks, automobile tractors
and other machines There is no way
of obtaining this in this country eX-
cept by saving from the existing sup
ply, and this economy may be effected
by voluntary cutting down of pleasure
riding (for instance, the man who
takes his family out on Sunday for a
fifty mile ride can cut this in half.
1t has been estimated that by eco
nomical use enough gasoline can be
saved to supply not only the United
States, but also its Allies for war pur-
poses.
The following suggestions should be
observed by automobile owners:
/. Do not allow your gasoline en-
CINE to run idle.
2. Use kerosene, not gasoline, for
cleaning purposes in the garage.
3. See to it that the carburetor does
not leak. Form the habit of shutting
off the gasoline at the tank.
4. BY judicious regulation of the
mixture of gasoline and air in the mo-
tor, both greater power and economy
of fuel may be obtained.
Automobile owners need not lay up
cars, but should use them either for
trade or pleasure purposes thought
fully and judiciously. If this advice is
followed there will be no undue search
ty, for the United States possesses an
abundant supply for ordinary pur-
poses.

DEPOSED CAR HAD
VAST ARMY OF SPIES
Provisional Government Publishes
Lists Containing 10000
Names In All.

Petrograd- Thirty three long lists Of
spies, informers and agents provoca-
tours In ex-Emperor Nicholas pay have
been published by the commission for
securing the new system of govern
ment appointed by the provisional gov
eminent Immediately after the revolu-
ton. Fifty more lists may be expected.
The total number of these secret legion
aries of autocracy is expected to reach
10000. Those whose guilt is beyond
doubt have been put in Jail, but 1t Is
not yet settled whether they will be
tried and punished or merely kept in
Jail until all peril Of reactionary coun-
ter revolution has passed.
The commissions reports depict pre-
cisely the same system of espionage
and state provocation to crime as -four
ished in Turkey under Abdul Hamid II.
The distinction is that Abdul Hamid
ran his spy and provocation system d.
rectly from the Yildiz kiosk, whereas
Nicholas intrusted his system to the no.
torious "okhrannoe otdielenie,' or Sc
curity department. which occupied a
big building In the Basil Ostrov dis
trict.
The first act of the triumphant revo-
lutionaries was to seize the security de-
partment's secret papers. Many OF
these were burned in bonfres outside
the building The more precious docu-
ments. especially those relating to the
state organization of crime, had been
kept In Safes and they escaped destruc-
ton. The revolutionaries also seized
tens of thousands of secret records in
the departments provincial offices. and
from these. backed by confessions OF
imprisoned spies. are being compiled
the lists. The lists will be followed by
five volume official History of
Espionage Under Nicholas H."
Every spy had "klitchka," or nick
name. by which he was known to the
police. The departments records bris-
tie with such nicknames as "Fatty,'
'Iongnose," sunday Boy 'Ele-
plant" and arsenic" The spy had
also two or three faxed surnames, and
he often changed his town and name
when he fell under the revolutionaries
suspicion.
Many spies and informers like the
famous Father Gapon, whose treachery
on Bloody Sunday" 1908, led to his be-
ing hanged by a revolutionist engi-
neer) were at one time genuine revo-
Iutionaries and became later betrayers
and informers. Some seem to have
served both sides honestly and earned
the approval of both, and some do not
seem to have known which side they
sympathized with.

HUMAN SLED SAVES
GUIDE 1900 FEET UP
Lookout on Mount Hood Slides Down
Two Miles With Injured Man
on Top Of Him.

Portland, Ore.-By making a sledge
of himself on the snow clad upper
slopes of Mount Hood, Elijah Coal
man, forestry service on the mountain,
brought to safety Hans Fuhrer bad
ly injured mountain guide, who is now
in hospital here.
Fuhrer had guided party of men
and women to the summit, 1000 feet
up When a mile from the top on the
descent Fuhrer fell on the sharp blade
of an ak, sustaining serious wound
In the abdomen. Goldman, the lookout,
had been watching the party through
spyglass from the summit and saw
the accident. He slid, coasted and
plunged down the intervening mile and,
helped by members of the sight seeing
party, hastily stanched Fuhrers
wound.
Then. throwing himself fat on his
back, he drew Fuhrer on his body and
directed those in the party to attach
rope to his feet. Holding the wounded
man with his clasped arms, goldman
was dragged over the snow two miles
to the timber line, where Fuhrer was
placed In an automobile and brought
here.

Farmers who desire to help both
their country and themselves are in
vited to give attention. once again, to
the humble but succulent as well as
woody sheep.
More sheep are needed in the coun-
try, and needed badly. They are need
ed for food, and particularly. for wool
The quantity of wool required by the
country annually is 600,000,000 pounds;
the quantity in sight for the next year
is 230 ,00o,C00 puun,io. The Australian
wool market is virtually closed to
America for the war, as England takes
practically the total product. In the
West the homesteaders are putting the
sheep men out of business. The sheep
range has been cut down 100000
acres in the past few years.
With the great demand for wool to
make clothing for the army as well
as for those who stay at home, the
situation is critical Hence the effort
to revive the sheep industry.
