Y. v. {. A. WAR WORK

Nurses, Girl Munition Max

Are Aided.
INCIDENT IS TOLD
Hostess Houses Prove Worth
Campaign Plans
Nearly Ready.

Questions as to the war work OF
the Y. w. c. A. are being met by lead
ers in the United War Work campaign
The work of the organization is less
well known than the Y. VI. c. A. "huts
and the Salvation Army doughnuts.
To meet these questions the follow
ing statement was issued at the cam
paign headquarters, 911 Broadway, to-
day:
THE Y. w. c. AS war work reach
es Red Cross nurses in France and at
army hospitals in this country; it
reaches girl workers in munitiOn
plants, and soldiers wives who swarm
to the cities near which their hus-
bands are encamped.
in addition. the Y. W. c. A. con-
ducts the hostess houses at the va
rious camps, where soldiers friends
and relatives may stay when they Wis

Jesse H. Smith, superintendent of
the school district chairmen in the
campaign, who recently did Y. NJ. c. A.
work at Camp Pike, said this last fea-
ture was sufficient to entitle the or
ganization to all the support asked.
AS one instance" he said, Il saw
a soldiers wife and baby arrive in
camp one day in response to a mes

ing beside the road, as we had passed
so many others on the march.
We pulled up under crest and l
regained my composure sufficiently
to eat some dead doughboy's hard
tack. We were still ahead of our
ration cart and it wasn't so cold
blooded after all. We went into ac-
ton soon afterward in a very poor
position having to dig in as well as
we could. Stayed in this position sew
eral days and then were relieved.
Many of our boys turned their faces
to the west during this period and
quitely went in quest Of the great
est of all adventures. They were
geed boys, good fighters, and the
folks back home will miss them
very much when they gather around
the home fires this Christmas.
While pressing the retreating Ger
mans we came to fields bearing post

avoided these areas. The Germans
had planted mines and their haste in
retreating kept them from taking
down their warnings and blowing us

went to the Theta house in answer to
appeals from the girls when the fire

bore the label, For Bravery Under

The cakes are expected to console
the S. A. T. c. students for the pun

LIMITS USE OF HORSE MEAT
Italy Finds Animals More Useful for
Transportation Purposes.

Horses, mules and asses are most
essential to any army for the purpose
of hauling guns. supplies and carry
ing the men to and from the battle
front In some instances it has been
possible in recent years to supplant
them with motor trucks and automO-
biles. but in certain countries the ter
rain is so mountainous that the mo-
tor-drawn vehicles find it impossible
to get through many places, and here
the horse and the mule still are in
great demand
In Italy, where the battle fields are
for the most part above the snow line
in the Alps, these beast of burden are
Indispensable.

GOT THEIR PAPERS "SM0KED"
Readers Were Amply Protected
Against Infection In the Early
Days Of the Republic.

In the early days Of the United
States, at times when epldemics were
appearing In the larger cities, the pub
fishers Of newspapers disinfected their
sheets before delivering them to news
boys and post riders. Frequently, In
order that the sheets might not be car
riers Of disease. they were put into
stoves and thoroughly smoked before
being wrapped for delivery. In the
South, where yellow fever often spread
very rapidly. special stoves, built Of
sheet iron, were designed for this pur-
pose and used tobacco as fuel, but the
process was slow, as only one sheet
smoked" at time. The plan of
smoking by wholesale from resinOus
wood was probably more commonly
employed In the North than In other
sections of the country because Of the
great infection feared from smallpox.
The academic and pedantic newspaper
critics, who, like the poor, have been
ever present, used to assert at such
times that a publisher would perform
a much more useful service for the
public II he would pay more attention
to disinfecting the contents Of his pa.
pers and less TO dlsinfecting the sheets
themselves. The latter, critics assert
ed, could be done when necessary by
the reader In his own home.

Mr.. Solomon Is rich and famous now,

DecoYs for Mallards.

In mallard shooting. as n rule, half
dozen decoys will be enough, unless
there is succession of open ponds or
lakes. If there Is great deal OF open
water you can use a dozen mallnrd

hens for malards make the best Sc
lection. Remember that mallards like
little holes or ponds and half dozen
big decoys go long way. Mallnrds

SPIES IN AMERICAN ARMY
Enemy Agents Found In Uncle Sans
Uniform viii Be Severely
Dealt With.

Most difficult to detect of all spies is
the man In uniform. The penalty is
death, Of course, but this never has de-
tered the master spy. Some of them
are now foolishly relying on the theory
that America Is too good natured to
execute a spy even If found In its own
army or navy.
Thus far there have been few in
stances of men who lmpersonated Of
ficers. These have proved TO be crooks
and swindlers intent on fraud and rob-
berry. But some real spies are believed
to have enlisted In the American army.
Several persons who qualified for com
missions through the officers training
camps have been suspected of other
than patriotic motives. In cases where
investigation has not brought evidence
sufficient for severe punishment those
whose loyalty has been doubted were
ordered into inactive service.
Curiously enough. fewer complaints
of enemy activity have come from
American cities where German colonies
are located than from cities where
other large foreign elements reside.
This is attributed TO the fact that the
American citizens Of the first-mentlOn.
ed communities have since the out
break of the war been especially watch
full, and also TO the fact that the Ger
man-Americans, most of whom have
pledged their allegiance to their adopt
ed country, omit no opporiunit; Il"
demonstrate their Americanism.-Da.
