Hold Indignation Meeting.

Red Oak, Jan. 5.-Considerable of
commotion has been raised here this
week over the refusal Of one Of Red
Oaks business men to get in line and
give patriotic support to local move
ments in support of the war His atti-
tude toward the liberty loan. the army
Y. NJ. c. A. and the Red Cross has not
been what the loyal citizens of the city
desire consequently the veterans of
Company NJ, who served in the Philip
pine war and were comrades of the
merchant in question in this service,
held an indignation meeting and have
issued the following statement making
public the name of the offender:
1T has been a matter of quite gen.
eral knowledge for several weeks that
there was one merchant in our city
whose attitude toward the liberty loan,
army Y. NJ. c. A. and the Red Cross
was not what the loyal citizens of the
city could wish, and it is time that the
merchants name be made public so
that no innocent and loyal citizens need
be wrongfully suspicioned.
We, the undersigned, veterans Of
Company NJ of Philippine service, be-
leved it the fair and proper thing to
give the merchant referred to chance
to come across" and as he was a COM
rade in the Philippines we felt it our
privilege, If not our duty to call upon
him and for the honor Of the "Old
Guard get him to see the error of his
attitude Our efforts were altogether
ftt 3e willy
that we feel forced to announce that
Guy NJ. Briggs hardware merchant,
north side of the square, must be con-
sdered in the light of disloyal citi-
zen, not worthy of the good VIII OF
true patriots. He has refused to pur-
chase liberty bonds, or to contribute to-
ward the Y. NJ. C. A. or to join the Red
Cross society.
"The Philippine veterans hereby de:
clare their complete reputation and
disapproval of Mr.. Briggs stand and
as loyal citizens must condemning or
all who tolerate. such an attitude.
We do not recognize any reason as
great enough to justify such an atti-
tude and while we deplore this lapse
in former comrade in arms-which
seems strangely inappropriate mas
much as he has a brother with Com
pany NJ in France-we feel that loyal
citizens Of Red Oak and community
should know the truth and be guided
accordingly. Signed:

Detroit, Jan. 5.-Gilmour S. Dobie.
the famous football coach. who was in
charge OF the team at the Annapolis
naval academy last fall, had his first
glimpse at eastern football and was
not very much impressed. Dobie, Of
course, took the war situation into con-
sheraton but was not converted to
the belief that eastern football is supe-
rior to the western brand.
Dobie made a wonderful record on
tho Pacific coast. His University OF
Washington teams never were beaten.
Last summer he signed contract y
coach the University Of Detroit eleven
He started to work with the squad
then became dissatisfied and left His
contract was cancelled. and he accept
cd the position Of coach at Annapolis.
Dobie has returned to Detroit to visit
friends.
From what I saw in the east. can
not say that the east Is superior to the
west at football" Dobie said. r"My
last years University Of Washington
team could easily have beaten any
eastern eleven this fall
Dobie declared that c~tern colleges
made a bad mistake" by cancelling
their 1917 football schedules and said
he expected a regular season turnout
the east next autumn.
Many experts have given reasons
for Doble's success as a coach. He IS
