GOES TO THE 'FRONT.'.

An enlistment story comes drift
ing in once in while that creates
unusual interest. This one is about
J. C. Syfford of Prosser, up to the time
of enlistment County Auditor of Ben
ton county, Wash, and a product of
Sank Centre, having graduated from
its schools in 1898. Mr.. Syfford is Al
years old, a married man and has five
children, the eldest being less than 10
years. He was also a member of the
county draft board. He gave three
reasons for enlistiRg; that he con-
cluded the war will last a long time
and every able bodied man should
help; that he had told so many young
men who were examined before him
that it was their duty to go to war
that he thought he should take his
own medicine and that he was so
thoroughly Disguised with the ex-
cuses which so many men had brought
before the board that he couldn't stand
it any longer. Mr.. Syfford applied for
the engineers, but was rejected. He
finally got into the duartermaster's
department and leaves shortly fol-
"over there"

Although the drive for the War
Stamp sale did not start until June
9th enough is already in sight to as
sumo that the city of Sank Centre
will go, over the $4,000 allotment
handsomely. :.
Chairman Strebel has had COM
mittee at work at the Commercial
Club rooms this week accepting the
subscriptions. The individual allot-
ments We're mailed to the citizens and
over 60 per cent Of them have re-
sponded. To date only one yellow card
has been turned in The Commercial
Club rooms will be kept open today,
Thursday to give others an opportun-
ity to call. Those who have not yet
responded should do so at once as the
men in charge are donating their SER
vices.
Any War Saving or Thrift Stamps
purchased prior to your allotment will
be credited to the amount one has been
assigned. The plan at present is to
secure pledges to take the amount
allotted any time before December
first. The subscribing of the Saving
Stamp allotment simply means that
the next Liberty Bond issue will be
deferred.
On Friday evening of this week at
eight o'clock meetings will be held in
every one of the 20 school districts
in the Sank Centre, Getty, Raymond
and Ashley townships at which time
it is expected that the allotments in
this territory will be cleaned up.
Competent men from Sank Centre will
meet with the farmers and fully ex-
plain the War Savings plan to them,
and the chairman of each district is
supposed to have the residents of his
district at this meeting. Care has
been taken to make the allotment
equitable in every case. The meetings
will be held at o'clock, new time, and

TAKES WRONG MEDICINE

The farm home of Jos. KLEIN wesi
of town, was the scene of near trag.
edy Monday night when Mr.. KLEIN
took several tablets of bicloride by
mistake. Mr.. KLEIN came home after
spending the day in town and was moi
feeling well. After disrobing TO,
the night and before retiring he took
the tablets presumably by mistake
They are deadly poison and his cries
of agony aroused the household, and
the family rushed to his assistance.
He was found lying outside the house
Fortunately the tablets nauseated him
to the extent that he vomited most of
them, thus undoubtedly saving his
life. A physician was hastily sum
moned who worked over him for sew
eral hours. Mr.. Klem's mouth and
throat were terribly burned by the
tablets, but otherwise his condition is
favorable.

Gross Receipts of Red
Cross Auction Held
Recently $5,37O.15

Returns are now practically COM
plete for the Red Cross auction held in
Sank Centre to raise the necessary
funds to put Sank Centre city, Ray
mond, Ashley, Getty and Sank Centre
townships over the top in the drive
for the $100,0O0,0O0 war fund. Under
the apportionment this territory was
to raise $4,000, $3,75O of which went
into the war fund, the balance to re-
main in the local chapters. The net
proceeds of the auction were $4,875.65
leaving balance of SLIPS for local
work, after the $3,750 had been set
aside for the National fund. At a
meeting of the executive committee
last evening, the seven auxiliaries
working in connection with the
Sank Centre branch were each given
credit of $50 to carry on ti,eir local
work, besides being put over the top
in the National drive.
Mrs. w. o. P. Hilsdale, who has
been the very efficient head of the
sewing department since last Septems
Der, wrote a letter rendering her re-
signation to take effect at once. The
board reluctantly accepted the resig-
nation, feeling that it was unfair to
expect her to continue the work long
er. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Hills
dale for her very efficient work was
spread upon the minutes. A new head
Of the department will be arranged
for at once. An attempt will be made
to simplify the work and divide the
labor and responsibility in the future.
In view of the fact that the Red
Cross had been trespassing upon the
good nature of Mr. Hilsdale for the
past several months it was decided to
move the sewing department from the
Boston store to the high school build
ing into the same quarters used last
summer. Mr.. McGibbon will have
charge of the removal and the change
will be made as soon as possible.

A call for the induction of 10000
Minnesota draftees from Class I dur
ing the five day period beginning
June "a was received today by Adju-
tant General w. F. Rhinow from
Washington, says Saturdays Mime
apolis Journal. The men will go to
Camp Grant, Ill. and will make the
largest single draft contingent ever
sent to environments from Minnesota.
Although the first draft call was for
1880 men, they were sent in sever.
smaller, widely separated groups.
Quotas to be assigned to local
boards in Minneapolis and throughout
the state were being worked out by
state draft officials today. Major John
P. Snyder, chief draft aid, was at the
capitol. His assistants said the allot-
ment of quotas would be begun inn
mediately.
The order specially provided that
men actively engaged in production of
farm crops shall NOT be called unless
it is absolutely necessary in order
to fill the state quota.
Just before the last 4,700 Minneso-
tans were drafted and sent to Camp
Lewis, American Lake, Wash, Major
Snyder estimated that there were
still 10000 Class I men in Minnesota.
There are now at least $4,000 men in
that class, more than five times
enough to fill the new call.
The assignment of Minnesota draft
,ees again increases the number of
army environments to which Mime
sotans have been sent. Camps Dodge,
Pike, Cody, Lewis and Grant and Col
umbus barracks, Ohio, are now on the
list of training stations to which con-
tingents numbering in the thousands
have been sent.
Inducti, 10000 more in June
will place the total draft induction
from Minnesota above $4,000 men.
There also have been more than 25, 900
enlistments in the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps, giving Minnesota more
than $4,000 men in the United States
forces.

Catholic Musical at the
Cuughren Theatre Tues
day Very Enjoyable

The recital given by the Catholic
Sisters and pupils and st. Cecelia's
choir of St. Paul's church at the
Caughren theatre Tuesday evening at
tracted capacity audience. Rt. Rev.
Bishop Busch of st. Cloud, who was
in the city to confirm the class at the
Home School for Girls, was impressed
into the program and made an in
spring, loyal address. The reverend
Father must be very busy man be-
cause scarcely day goes by that he
does not lift his voice and influence
urging the p eople to stand Loyalty
back of the government. His address
Tuesday evening was from slightly a
different angle, nicely dovetailing into
the program, and was very practical
and helpful.
Good musicians say that the musical
portion of the program was worth
while. in every particular and a credit
to the Sisters, the students and st.
Cecelia's choir.
The net proceeds were $40. Of
this amount ninety-five dollars was
turned to st. Paurs pipe organ fund,
the balance, $45, being turned over to
the local branch of the Red Cross.
The Herald has been requested to
express the deep appreciation and
thankfulness of those in charge to
those taking part in the program and
to the public in making the recital a
success.

JAIL DOORS YAWN.
Ing FOR LOAFERS
ALL PHYSICALLY ABLE MALES
OVER 16 MUST WORK OR
FIGHT.
POLICE MUST HUNT IDLERS
RELIGIOUS STUDENTS, BOYS IN
TRAINING AND PHYSICALLY
UNFIT EXCEPTED.

Minnesota Tuesday joined the states
making idleness crime.
An order issued by the Minnesota
Public Safety Commission at noon
makes it mandatory upon every male
in the state who has passed his 10th
birthday to be engaged in some useful
occupation.
The penalty for failure to comply
with the order is term of not more
than three months in the county jail
or fine Of not more than 500.
The only exceptions are bona fde
students actually attending religious
educational institutions or who are be-
ing trained for useful occupations.
The drastic new anti-loafing meas
ure, which is order No. 81 Of the COM
mission, is effective at once. 1t was
introduced by Colonel G. II. March and
radically extends the provisions of
the recent federal "work or fight"
order, which applies only to men with
in the draft age.
The state order is based on the ne
cessity of utilizing the maximum man
power for the war, and particularly to
provide workers to take the places of
the thousands Of men who have been
called into military service. The full
text of order No. 81 follows:
Whereas, it is necessary to enact
such regulations as will utilize to the
best advantage the human energy of
the state of Minnesota for the purpose
essential to the prosecution Of the
present war, and
Whereas, the need of men of mill
Etary age to provide reinforcements for
the army and the equally urgent need
for labor to assist in the production of
food and other articles essential t..
war purposes, necessitates special pro-
vision to the end that all persons
domiciled in Minnesota shall engage in
useful occupations.
.'It is therefore ordered by the Min
nesota Commission of Public Safety:
"First-That every male person re-
siding in Minnesota shall be regularly
engaged in some useful occupation.
Second In any proceeding hereun-
der it shall be a defense that the per-
son is:
"(A)-A bona fide student~in actual
attendance at some religious educa-
tional institute or proceeding with his
training for some useful occupation.
"(B)-Children under 16 years of
age.
"(C)-Persons physically unable to
comply with the provisions of the
order.
"Third- 1t shall be the duty of the
sheriffs Of the respective counties and
of any other officers, state or municipal
charged with enforcing the law, to
seek and continue to seek identity,
names and places of residence of able
bodied persons within their respective
jurisdictions not regularly or continu-
ously employed as provided by this or
der, and report the same to the county
attorneys in their respective counties.
"Any person violating or refusing
or failing to obey this order shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and shall be
punished by imprisonment in the
county jail for not more than three
months or by fine of not more than
$780,"

The War Savings Stamps bear four
per cent interest compounded quarter
ly and mature in five years. While
the government does not encourage
the sale of these stamps nevertheless
if the owner becomes in need of
funds the government has guaranteed
to redeem them any time on 10 days
notice to the local postmaster. II
they are carried a reasonable length
of time before they are turned back to
the government the holder will be
paid slightly over three per cent in
terest. No bank in the world can
afford to pay this rate of interest on
short time deposits.
You are not giving anything in the
purchase of War Stamps. You are
making the best investment in the
world.

operating total of 1859 vessels of all
descriptions, of which 264 -carrv;nc
a~'ooo men--were actively participating
IN the war in European waters.
these figures were disclosed to-day
IN the annual report of Rear Admiral
Griffin, chief of the Bureau of Steam
engineering. Daily expenditures of the
bureau during the war year covered by
the report exceeded s777,OOo.
Admiral Griffin said the regular navy
on the date of his report consisted of
80 ships, supplemented by 90 vessels
from the coast guard, lighthouse SER
wee, Coast and Geodetic Survey and
hsh commission. In addition, the navy
was then operating 937 converted mer-
chant craft, yachts and the like, and
the naval overseas transport service,
consisting of PAT Shipping Board and
other supply vessels, with 112 more
about to be commissioned. Construc-

that time included 376 new ships of all
Magnitude of Engineering Work
"Since the United States became.
betligerent," the report states, "the
magnitude of the engineering work of
the navy. both mechanical and cleo
trical, not only in its actual amount.
but in the rapid development of ia
cihties for its execution, has been with
out parallel for the same period of
time in the history of the worlds
navies."
To keep up the feet abroad, three
repair bases were established in
France. one in Great Britain, one at
Gibraltar and two in the Mediterra-
mean. These were supplemented by
SIX repair ships, which achieved re-
markable results in repairing vessels
at sea.
The report makes the first official
announcement regarding development
of the submarine detection devices, and
shows that American equipment for
this purpose has been placed aboard
both British and French naval craft.
Details are not disclosed, however, the
report in this connection confining it
self to the following paragraph:
previous to July I, 1917, there were
two devices for submarine detection
in service. One was the Fessenden
oscillator, primarily intended for send
ing and receiving underwater signals
the other was device developed by
the General Electric Company. Since
then eight other devices for submarine
detection have been developed and
made in quantity, not only for our
own navy, but for the British Ad-
miralty and the French Ministry of

force 1874 per cent, there were fewer
violations of navy regulations. The
percentage of courts martial decreased d
from l.75 to LIT in the navy and from

This fine record of the sailors be-

took occasion to commend the i'm

IN reply to question of Represent
at'Vc butler as to whether the general

Zen years ago the submarines were not
larger than l50 tons, could cruise less
than 500 miles and was very vulnera-
p PIE. To-day they are thirty times

Submarines Destroyed
One hundred and fifty German and
seven Austrian submarines were sunk
in the war prior to August, Admiral
Badger told the committee, quoting re-
ports from Admiral Sims. He said the
Germans had built 331 submarines, but
that the Austrian under water feet
comprised only thirty-fve craft, ten of
which we're obsolete.
On August 1 last, Admiral Badger
said, the Germans had 119 submarines
operating in the Atlantic and twenty
eight in the Mediterranean, while at
the same time Austria had eighteen in
the Mediterranean
The admiral told the committee that
the United States had agreed with the
British government to pay $50 for each
American soldier transported overseas
in British vessels. He said England
frequently had asked for larger sum,
but no agreement as to an increase had
been reached.
