RED CROSS NEEDS
A LOT OF KNIT GOODS
As SOON As POSSIBLE

The following telegram from Mr.. II.
ID. Gibson. general manager of the
Red Cross. tells of the need for
sweaters, wristlets and socks by the
army. -
Ladies' who are willing to help
should get in touch with local Red
Cross headquarters where they can
get full particulars.
"It is imperative that all of the
Sweaters. wristiets and socks, that can
possibly be made by the women of the
country should be turned in to the
supply department at the earliest
possible dates. With the cold weather
coming on the demand for sweaters
especially has been beyond the capac-
ity of all our resources to supply. We
have forwarded promptly all knitted
articles received from the chapters
and have in addition been compelled
thousand sweaters Of which two hun
dred fifty thousand have been deliv-
cred. These sweaters are machine
knit and the yarn used is a mixture of
cotton and wool. so that 1t does not
withdraw any considerable amount of
yarn from the women knitters of the
Red Cross. We are buying all the yarn
we are abel to secure that is suitable
for knitters and sending 1t out to the
chapters as fast as we can get deliv-
cry of it. We have received from the
chapters about two hundred thousand
sweaters and approximately the same
number of machine made sweaters. all
of which have been delivered to the
men in the Camps and Training Sta
tions with the exception of a few
thousand which we have had TO send
to France. The requests of our or
ganiation In France for sweaters and
knitted goods have had to remain un-
satisfied on account of our inability to
secure enough for men in our own'
Army and Navy. We call upon the
women to give us their very best ef-
forts from now until at least January
first, that we may be able to furnish
our own men with those comforts and
have some to spare for the dire needs
in France"

GERMAN MIND LAID
BARE IN GIRLS LETTER

A curious letter from a German
girl to Swiss friend was printed re-
Gently in the Edinburgh Scotsman.
The letter was written year and
more ago. but it reflects quite amaz-
ingly the strange and all but universal
obsession OF the German mind as to
the superiority of the German race
and the obligation of kultur to rule
the world.
Frankfort-on-Oder, Goth July. 1916.
My Dear Louise-The contents of
your last letter would have hurt me
had I not known that your thoughts
of our glorious war resulted from.
sheer ignorance.
You are in a country rendered ef-
Terminate by the influence of oid-fash-
ioned ideas of liberty. country which
is at least two centuries behind ours.
you are in need Of good dose Of
prussian culture.
II is evident that you. Swiss girl,
with your French sympathies. cannot
understand how my heart, the heart
OF a young German girl. passionately
desired the war. Speaking of 1t some
years ago. my father said to us:
Children, Germany Is getting too
small for US: we shall have to go to
France again in order to find more
room!" Is it our fault II France will
not understand that more money and
land are necessary for US?
And you reproach us that our sol
dIers have been very cruel to the Bel
pian rabbie. and you speak also Of the
destruction of Rheims. and of the
burning OF villages and towns. Well
that Is war. AS in eyedy other under
taking. we are past masters in the
making of war.
You have a great deal to learn be
fore you can come up to our standard
and l can assure you that what has
been done so far Is q mere bagatelle
compared with what will follow.
AS a matter of fact there is but one
race worthy Of ruling the world. ant

There were fourteen applicants for
membership which were favorab'y
voted upon.
The treasurer's report showed an in
crease of business in nearly every
department.
Prof. Gambill. chairman of the spec
iaI committee to investigate the ad-
visibility of entertaining the State
Older Boys Conference at Canon City
reported favorably on the proposition
and a special committee consisting of
Messrs. Sale. rambill, Hamilton.
Emmerson and Rau were appointed
from the Board to take up the matter
with the Ministerial Association and
the Sunday school officials and ex-
tend the invitation to the State COM
mittee provided that these two organ
izaions would cooperate in entertain
ing the conference. 1t is expected
that about four hundred boys will be
in attendance at the conference. One
of the biggest problems would be to
provide the annual banquet on ac-
count of the size of the crowd. This
trouble was elevated by the generous
offer of Warden Tynan. who was in
terviewed on the subject. of the use
of the dining room at the prison
which seats eight hundred guests.
This was thot by the Directors to be
a novel feature which could be passed
over the state and would appeal
strongly to the visitors as well as
many home people.
The WSrden also offere dthe ser

pointed to nominate candidates for

MONARCHS
GAIN APPROVAL BY
DEMOCRATIC WAYS

NEW YORK, July 2.-According to
q dispatch from London to the New
York Sun, royalty is about the most
democratic institution in Great Brit
ain nowadays. The other day King
George and Queen Mary went touring
about the country by special train,
visiting the munition works and ship
Of the newspapers was attached to
the royal train, and one night the en-
tcurage hung up at a country place
where there were no particular ar
rangements for entertainment of the
royal couple.
But what OF that? No trouble what
ever! The carload of correspondents
was switched on to a siding in the
town and the royal carriage was
whisked out half a dozen miles into
the country, shunted to a siding far
from any habitation and left for the
night. There were aboard the car the
King and Queen, a couple OF Scot
land Yard men and the servants need
ed to manage the car.
The King and Queen slept aboard
their car, and bright and early in the
morning the correspondents hurried
out to learn how the night had been
passed. At o'clock they arrived, but
too late. The King and Queen had
risen. dressed, taken tea and climbed
out of the car for a tramp in the coun-
try.
Nobody ever did discover where
they went or how far; they permitted
no escort to bother them; just tramp
ed on until they had enough and
then wandered back. It was a per-
formance characteristic OF the present
royal couple.
The genuineness OF their interest In
everything the people are doing and
their seeming preference for the sim
pie affairs of the working people as
against the ostentations of the rich
and distinguished, have endeared
them to the people in these rough
times.

GOT A BANK ACCOUNT?
THEN TELL ASSESSOR

Every person in Washington hav
ing a checking account in any bank
whether 1t is for one cent or one
million dollars, must fle a schedule
Of the amount OF such account as OF
July 1 at the office Of the District
Assessor, under the new Intangible
property tax law.
Only savings accounts of individ.
uals not in excess of $500 and not
subject to check are exempted under
the new law. All other bank &C.
counts are taxable at the rate of
three-tenths OF per cent.
Since the rate of the tax Is 80 low,
II is probable the assessors office
later will make some ruling regard
ing those small checking accounts on
which the tax would amount only to
few cents, since the clerical work
In connection with collecting the tax
would cost more than the amount OF
the tax.
Every one must file q schedule be-
fore August /.
In the case Of personal tangible
property. on which the tax is IL per
cent, the board OF assessors ruled
that returns OF property amounting
to less than $75 should be exempted
from the tax.
