FOUND SHIPS
 TO CARRY AMERICANS

London.- Last spring in one of the darkest hours of the war for the Allies, when the United States was told that it was imperative to rush over at once tens of thousands of American troops to help stem the German advance, a dramatic scene occurred in London. The great question was could England provide the tonnage for the American aid David Llyod George, the prime min ister, sent for Sir Joseph Mclay, British shipping commissioner.
 "Can you find the ships?" asked the premier
 "Give me till five o'dock," was the answer.
 At five Sir Joseph reappeared.
 "Yes," he said quietly. And he found the ships.

BAZAAR AND DANCE
 ATTRACT BIG CROWD

The ladies responsible for getting
 up the bazaar and dance in aid
 of the Nenana bed in the American
 Hospital at Neuilly France, and all
 those who helped in the cause, are
 to be heartily congratulated on the
 success of the affair, which was
 largely attended at Union Hall last
 night
 The Red Cross ladies of Nenana
 did much hard work and with the aid
 of few willing male workers. had succeeded in transforming the in
 terior of the Union Hall into a regu-
 lar fairy garden. Beautifully deco
 rated booths, where the various
 articles were temptingly displayed, were arranged all around the hall, each booth being in charge of g.
 bevy of fair Nenanaites attired as Red Cross nurses. The various gambling joints" were interspersed among the booths.
 A strong windstorm sprang up late in the afternoon, with some snow, the sky overcast and the day murky, and it was feared that it would detract considerably from the function in the way of attenadnce That Nenanaites are there" when it comes to matter of patriotic en- deavour was once again established and in spite of the stormy and disagreeable weather, turned out in force to help swell the fund for the upkeep of the beds for the use of the boys lover there"
 The bazaar opened shortly after s o'clock and the various gambling games commenced operations simul- taneouslys and from then on until sometime in the "wee sma' hours" thre was something doing all the time. A large space in the center of the hall was left clear for the dancers, and a great many tripped the light fantastic to the strains of Herman Rosburg's three-piece or chestra, while at the same time the various booths and gambling games did brisk business.
 Special carnival money was in circulation; there was no small change, five dollars being the least one cold spend at time. Special Disbursing Agent Frank Doner had charge of the financial end of the affair and was kept busy gathering in the sheckels for the Neuilly bed in exchange for the carnival money. Frank worked his business in part nership with o. M. Jackson, of the Portland, on the "art union" prin- ciple. Jackson presided over the crap table, which was situated next to Franks table, near the head of the stairs, and as regularly as Jack "cleaned" the gamblers who pat him he passed the dough" to Frank, who promptly sold it to his importunate clientele.
 The booth next to the crap table was in charge of Mesdames F. D. Browne and J. R. Bowen, assisted by Dr. Bowen and did a very large business. Dr. Bowen attended to the wheel of fortune and did con- siderable spelling" in extolling the qualities of the articles which were raffled on the wheel. 7,
 The roulette wheel was placed next to this booth and was worked by Dr. David More, assisted by Andy Harkeom. The popular medico gave the impression of having been m oldtime habitue of the famous

Casino at Monte Carlo, by the delft
 way in which he handled the elusive pill, the settling of which held so
 much hope for his patrons; while Andy was busily occupied doing the paying out or gathering in stunt, mostly the latter Several ~system- l atic and organized attempts were made to break the bank, but the
 doctor and Andy merely smiled. They knew. And the cleaning
 process continued.
 The tea booth was next to Dr.
 More's layout and was in charge of
 Mesdames Ike P. Taylor, Leroy
 Mover and R. G. Southworth, and great many availed themselves of it's shelter and indulged in the "cup that cheers, but with the usual accompaniment of dainty eats. The Fish pond, across the way from the tea booth was in charge of Mes danes w. H. Gilcher, M. V. Tyler and Alex Fowler, assisted by Miss Margaret Southworth, and did a brisk business throughout the night. This booth was largely patronized by the younger people and many q surprise package was fished from the depths beyond the counter.
 The homemade goodies booth, in charge of Mesdames James Old field and Norman Campbell, was we'll patronized and the delectable goodies on sale were rapidly snap ped up by eager purchasers, who did not hesitate to pay five dollars for a loaf of bread or a few cookies.
 Right alongside of the homemade goodies booth, the handmade ar ticles booth was doing a roaring business. This booth was in charge of Mesdames R. R. Myers, E. R. Brown and J. T. Steel and the many beautiful articles displayed skill fully found ready purchasers.
 At the foot of the stage the black jack table was placed and attracted a large crowd during the course of the night and a splendid business was transacted there. The game wss in charge of Mr. and Mrs. van Ofsdel, who smilingly "cleaned" their patrons regularly.
 The bazaar was voted a huge suc- cess by all present and every branch of it without exception contributed to the pleasure of the evening and to the fund for which 1t was got up. The several workers lid their parts enthusiastically and deserve warm praise for making the affair such a great success.
 The gambling feature of the "took" strongly with he crowd, especially with the ladies, who played at the various layouts with reckless abandon worthy of he traditions of Monte Carlo and he early days of the Klondike rush. The gambling spirit would appear o have imbued almost everyone, md even Dr. Diven was seen going rom one layout to another with smile on his face and roll of 'phony" bills tightly grasped in his land. ...
 The actual results of the bazaar nd dance are not available, as sev- ral of the committee in charge ave not been heard from up to a ate hour today. The figures avail ble, however, show that the sub- tantial sum of $1389 was taken in. This is the gross amount and is a conservative estimate of the income

made a list of their useful and desirable

Dolores Angelini Insists
Christian Life Is Vital
to Real u. S. Citizenship
for Italian Immigrants

DEACoNESS DOLORES ANGELINI,
- Italian by parentagc, but finely
American by choice Of citizenship, did
not hesitate TO affirm today, in connec-
tion with her work in the Italian colony
in the neighborhood of Hollond Memo
rial Presbyterian Church that it is only
by leading earnest Christian lives that
the people of her race can ever hope to
become stanch and helpful American
citizens.
To help them attain this ideal she has
dedicated her life and, although still in
the early twenties, has achieved no small
success in her work. During the last
two weeks she has added to her Sunday
School some forty-fivo Italian pupils, in
addition to attending to her duties as
deaconess. Recently she also assisted in
the campaign for the benefit OF the
| Deaconess Home and tho Philadelphia
School for Christian Workers. Small of
stature. she nevertheless has well dem
onstrated her abilities as q leader and
has the full confidence Of her superiors
| and those among whom she works.
! II is her belief that health and hap
| piness, as we'll as religious influences
make for better citizenship, Deaconess
| Angelini said.
| In the idealistic principles for which
the nation is fighting, she said. one finds
/ the link between Americanism and
! Christianity,
/ Shortly after her graduation foui
! years ago from a college in Rome, Do
lores Angelini came to America. She
/ entered the Deaconess House with the
intention of devoting her life to thu
I spiritual uplift and moral welfare ot
ber own people here.
81 find" she said, that many of my
Italian people have become careless since
their arrival In this country, and that ir
many cases they have neither adopted
the customs of the country nor learned
its language. In the home, children gel
only little encouragement i'm their efforts
to become better Americans, better citi.
zens. My people follow a commercial
life so intensely they are losing sight OF
the higher ideals OF life
