SEND A QUARTER TO
GRIFFITH AND AID
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

You baseball fans have all
heard OF the campaign started by
Clark Griffith to supply all our
soldiers at the front with bats,
balls and other cessories OF
baseball.
You have heard. too, that the
first huge shipment that was
started for France went down on
the American steamship kansan,
sunk by German submarine.
The work must all be done
over. More funds must be raised
to send bats and balls, gloves and
masks to The men under Pprshing
who are fighting YOUR fight at
the front.
Mr.. Griffith has asked us to
publish an appeal to the baseball
fans to help him in his hig task.
He doesn't ask much from an in
dividual. All he wants you to do
is to mail 25 cents to Clark c..
NflIlltn, 5O9 Union savings Bank
Building, Washington, D. c., and
ASK FIVE OF YOUR FRIENDS TO.
Do THE SAME.
This project has the indorse-
ment OF President Wilson, who
himself sent his two bits con-
tribution. The names of all don
ors to the fund will be published
in the Sporting News and in
pamphlets sent to every news
paper in the country.
Don't send any money to The
Times. Send it to Clark G.. Grif-
fifth, 300 Union Savings Bank
Building, Washington, D. c., and
in short time the first shipment
will be on it's way to pershing,
somewhere in France.

OMAHA 10Y TEcE Z.
TROOPS REACHED FRANCE


TROOPS REACHED FRANCE
! The first thing Russell Papin-
eau, 911 South Twenty fifth
street, Omaha, petty officer on
the U. S. ship Hancock, did on
landing in America after taking
our troops to France was to make
dash for home and mother.
Gee, but Omaha looks good to
me! Got any cherry pie, moth
er?'' he said on reaching Omaha.
II wanted to get off at Council
Bluffs and walk in. the train
seemed so slow, y he added.
While his mother made cherry
pies-lots of them-this morn
ing for her sailor boy, he told of
his trip to France.
Not soul on our ship, even
the captain; knew where we we're
going. He was told to sail in a
certain direction, according to
certain degrees of latitude and
longitude, but that was all. There
were about 1000, United States
troops aboard, but even that
didn't tell us, for we had been
docked for long time with SOL
diers living on board.
After almost two weeks-we
went slowly-we met French
transport. They told us we were
near England and on our way to
France.
I'VE landed at French port
but am not allowed to tell it's
name. 1t has big supply depot
and in its docks were scores of
ships from all the neutral and al
lied nations that had brought
supplies to France.
so it wouldn't do to tell the
name of the place, for the enemy
might find out about it and try to
capture our ships on their way.
l can't tell the American port we
sailed from, either, for troops
may go from there. again.
The whole population of the
French town flocked to meet us
when we came. They were almost
IN rags, for everyone there is poor
now. They were so happy to see
the United States ships.
II stayed in France six days.
but didn't have time to go to
Paris. French people are not
downcast. They still believe they
will win. The number of troops
wounded and taken prisoner is
exaggerated here.
'Over there the papers say 500
men were wounded. BY the time
it gets in American papers the
number is 5000.
The whole population there is
under military rule. In Germany.
III man goes more than few
rods away from his house after 6
p. m. he is shot. A woman can
not go out and dig potatoes out
OF her own garden without ask
ing a soldier how many she NAV
keep. This is so in all European
countries %
Papineau said the American
troops were in fine condition
when he saw them last.
Scared? Well, guess not.
They were crazy to get to fight
ing.
And don't you worry about our
soldiers not catching on quickly.
Why, think an American private
is much more intelligent than
most European officers. The
boys will show them something in
a hurry.
Papineau is absent on a ten
day furlough. He has been in the
navy two years, having enlisted
from Omaha. This is the first
time he has been home. He is the
son of George Papineau and is of
French descent. His ship, the
Hancock, was in the Danish West
Indies last spring and he assisted
at the ceremonies when the Unit
ed States took the islands over.
The captain of the Hancock was
temporary governor of the islands
for ten days.-Bee.

that the government will have to find

Wholesale houses anticipate a duty on
sugar and all the inside information is
to the effect that about one cent a
