SOLDIERS REQUIRED TO MAKE
ALLOTMENT OF PAY FOR WIFE

Tables showinf the allotments and
allowances for dependent relatives OF
soldiers have been received in Mays
vile.
The tables disclose the fact that
the government requires compul-
sorry allotment from men with wives
and children dependent on them.
All other relatives may receive al
lowances from the government If the
soldiers makes a voluntary allotment
of half his pay.
In the tables the word allotment
is used to mean that portion of the
so-diers pay which is allotted by him
to his relatives. The word "allow-
ance' is the money paid by the gov
eminent and added to the soldier
allotment.
If the soldier allots SIS and has a
wife, but no children dependent upon
him, the government allows" fifteen
dollars additional. making total Of
thirty dollars for the support of the
wife. The soldier has fifteen dollars
left in addition to his clothes, food,
and equipment. The allowances are
raised according to the number de-
pendent on the enlisted man.
In the government, however makes
no allowance in excess of fifty dol
ErS.
In the cases of privates, the pay is
$50 per month and the government
requires the allotment of SIS from
his months pay for the support of de-
pendents, wife and children.

U. s. SHELLS BURSTING on GER
MAN SOIL

New York, November 5-The Ger
man war Office location of the first
raid on American trenches as along
the Rhine-Marne Canal indicates
American artillery is now firing its
shells directly on Germany territory
The western battle front crosses
the Rhine-Marne Canal within easy
artillery range of the German boun-
dairy or Lorraine.
This Is doubtless the reason the
Germans took such unusual measures
to raid the American trench sector BY
providing a barrage artillery fire anu
cutting off the American victims from
all possible help during the raid.
Artillery ammunition Is too prec-
ious to Germany to be thrown away
in this costly manner often.
The damage, however, that Amerl-
can shells probably had been doing
on German soil for at least a week
explains the apparently reckless ex-
penditure of barrage fire to assist
raiders.
The Germans must be fearful OF
sending raiding parties against the
American trenches with artillery pro-
lection, because of the extreme thin
ness Of the German-Lorraine front.
In Flanders, where the greatest
fighting intensity is occurring, the
Germans have four men per yard.
Along the Lorraine border it has re-
Gently been semi-officially estimated
they have one man every two yards.
German raiders, therefore, can de-
pend little on infantry support in re-
turning from American trenches, and
the raiders must have artillery help,
as if they were miniature offensives.

FILL YOUR COAL BIN NOW.

The nation faces one of the most
serious coal shortages in it's history
for next winter unless some drastic
action is taken soon. With the mus
ual demand for fuel for the operation
of munition factories and ships of
commerce and war, the small con-
sumer becomes almost forgotten. The
greater share of the coal-carrying YES
sells on the Great Lakes have been
transferred, to coastwise service, thus
practically stopping the shipment of
eastern coal to the northwest. The
western coal mines can supply but a
fraction of the demand, and, with the
added danger of a scarcity of miners,
the situation will indeed become criti-
cal. Managers of the large Ignite
mines of the Missouri Slope urge all
users of this grade of coal to put in
their winters supplies at once while
it is available. High labor prices this
fall in the wheat fields will attract
many of the miners, and this will
cripple the working of the mines. The
large fall contracts will have to be
filled in October and November, and
there will be little or no coal left for
sale in the open market. Fill every
available bin with coal-and do it
now. The mine operatives will meet
you half way.

PEACE AND WAR WILL
BE TOPIC OF FAMOUS
X. C. LODGE ORATOR

Peace and War is the subject to be
discussed under auspices of Dickinson
| Council of the Knights of Columbus
at Elks' hall on May 18th, by the we'll
known orator, debater and author,
David Goldstein, of Boston. The su-
preme officers of the Knights of. Co.

wide lecture movement in defense of
Christian principles against the in
sidious propagandas Of the enemies of
God and country, have assigned Mr..
Goldstein for a lecture in this city.
Great enthusiasm is %manifesting it.
self among the local Knights at the
making his fourth annual tour for the
order.
In reporting the Chautauqua work
Daily Leader says: "The address of
David Goldstein of Boston, secretary
Boston School of Political Economy,
attracted wide attention at the first
Sunday meeting of the Chautauqua
yesterday.
"Mr. Goldstein is an interesting
speaker, gifted with a keen, penetrat-
ing intellect, a marvellous flow of
language, and a t%renchant, almost
cold-blooded way of driving fact after
fact right home to his nearer. He
does not mince words, and every SEN
tence he utters is given in a way that
almost forces assent" ,
Mr.. Goldstein was formerly a fore
most leader in the Socialist move
ment, having been the first candidate
of the social party for mayor Of his
home city, Boston. He is said to have
resigned from the socialist movement
twelve years ago, after a futile at
tempt to get the organization to re-
pudiate some of it's teachings. His
reasons are outlined in a book called
Socialism, the Nation of Fatherless
Children" which has a circulation of
over 10000 copies.
The committee of Dickinson Council
of the Knights of Columbus announces
that Mr.. Goldstein will gladly answer
all questions related to his subject
Peace and War-at the conclusion of
his address. This feature of the
speakers work adds zest to the oc-
casion, for Mr.. Goldstein is said to be
a past master in meeting friend and
foe face to face with a courteous but
decisive defense of his convictions.
The press near and far has a like
story to tell. The Providence Journal
says: ""The readiness with which Mr..
Goldstein handled the queries which
were hurled at him, sometime two and
three at a time, indicated his thorough
knowledge Of his subject, and his
ability to discuss it at all angles"

Paper shortage throughout the
country is a serious matter, and saw
ing of waste paper as a means of at
least partially meeting this dearth is
to be commended. However, those
who are saving the waste product
should always bear in mind one thing
never store the paper in schools or
dwellings, as this is a fruitful source
of fires, which may develop into con-
fagrations that will cause great
monetary loss. Thousands of school
children throughout the country have
collected paper and in many instances
it has been placed in Easements of the
institutions. This is a serious men
ace, and a safe place of storage
should be chosen away from schools
and dwellings. Paper should be
tightly folded, as it is much less
likely to burn than when piled in a
loose heap, and it should be disposed
of often instead of being allowed to

the merrier.' There never was a
crowd of socialists big enough yet to
do anything but sharpen his wit. the

the more.

a lecture. It was a spectacle and a

The air was surcharged with the cleo
tricity of the conflict. The dramatic
suspense was keener than in the most
breathless play. To see that little
