Although the army is urgent in its effort to induce the men to write home there are certain lim- itations that must be observed in the matter of letter writing. A recent war department order says: All officers and men are forbidden to insert advertise ments or letters in any publica- tion inviting strangers to com municate with them. or to enter into correspondence with stran. gers in response to advertise. meuts of other invitations. Off, cers in command of troops are directed not to furnish names of men to any persons who attempt in any manner to enter into cor reSpondence with soldiers with whom they are not personally acquainted.
 Letters are received every few days by members of the Army "" staff asking for list of names of soldiers who would like to correspond with some woman or girl in various parts of the country. As a rule they ask for the names of men who have no relatives or who belong to a class they term as "lonesomes. " From the above war department order it can be seen that it would be in opposition to the fixed policy of those in charge of the armies. both at home and abroad. to fur nish any such list and it is use less to write to the "Y"for them. If you must write, write to some from your home town or county so that you can give him local news that will be ofreal interest.

pie to Make Good Their Word
With uncle

Especial to The Gate City.l


nES MONIES. Ia, Dec. 27.-The
treasury department is calling upon
every person in the state who made
war savings pledge, to redeem that
pledge in full, before December thirty
first. This makes it absolutely necess-
airy for these who have not fulfilled
their pledges to complete them in fun
at once because the government has
depended on this money and expects
it.
With the war over some may per-
.haps have felt it was unnecessary 10
redeem their pledges, but attention IS
again called to the fact that this mon
ey is now needed for demobilizatlon
purposes and TO aid in the reconstruct
ion period, in which we are entering.
We must not, put the honor Of our
state in jeopardy by a failure to real
ize this need of the governm ent and
our obligation to make good on our
pledges The people OF this state are
again reminded that they have only a
few days in which to buy more stamps
and redeem their pledges.
The last day on which stamps OF the
1918 series may be bought and pledges
redeemed is December thirty-first. All
stamps bought after this date will be
OF the 1919 series and will count moth
ing on pledges or sales made in 1918
for the state war savings record OF
this year
Urge every one to act promptly and
buy to their limit, war savings stamps
for the honor OF Iowa and the honor
of ourselves.

RAILROAD
MEMS MORALE
It is Weakening With Postponement
Of Congressional Action
on Problem OF
Traffic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Po5t-
ponement of congressional action OF
the rail problem may cost the nation
millions of dollars during tue comins
winter, railroad administration ON,
Gals declared today.
Failure by congress to determine
the future of the roads, it was held

tation systems when they face prob
ably the worst period of their his
tory"
Director General McAdoo was said
to have warned regional directors,
federal managers and others serving
under them they must combat a
weakening of morale among railroad
employees" Even former officials OF
the corporate systems who now are
holding jobs under the railroad ad'
ministration are said to not know
"iust where they stand" because OF
congressional inaction.
The spirit which officials said Is
growing among the employees may De
expressed in these words:
"If the government doesn't care
what becomes of the roads or how
they are operated, why should we?''
The belief that traffic trouble is
impending was held until recently
only by officials who viewed the rail-
road question from financial angle
But operating officials now admit the
problem of keeping the roads .on
top" Of the demand for transportation
is getting serious. Approaching win
ter with it's storms and resulting bad
tracks will bring heavy losses to In
dustry unless the roads are, able to
handle all business, operators say.
Data gathered by operating officials
shows that the volume of trafhc TINS

BONE DRY LAW
NOT LIKED
American Soldiers Abroad Think
They Should Have Had a
Chance to Vote or
Idea.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-News
dispatches from abroad assert that
a feeling of resentment is growing
among the 100000 American sol
diers in the expeditionary force be-
cause Of the bone-dry prohibition
legislation which congress has put
through during their absence.
1t is said they feel they should
have been given an opportunity to
vote on these measures. The same
dispatches say the soldiers are talk
ing of retaliating against the mem
bers of congress who put through
this legislation. Since the armistice
was signed the men abroad have had
more time to consider what has been
happening at home in their absence.
But that the returning army viii
have a strong influence when it
reaches home not as military
force, but politically, is believed to
be very true.
Although the nationwide prohibi-
ton constitutional amendment IS
now in the process of being ratified
by the states, and from present in
dications it will be ratified BY three
fourths of the states within the next
year, should congress fail to enact
legislation to enforce the amendment
after it's adoption it would be as IN
effective as though it had never been
put forward by congress and the
state legislatures.
Some of the members of congress
are beginning to think seriously OF
what will be the attitude of the re-
turning American soldiers on num-
Der of internal questions, among
them that of nationwide prohibition.
They are not at all sure that these
men will be willing to see sumptuary

KEOkUK WOMEN
Do A BIG JOB
Get over Four Thousand Memberships
in Red Gross Chapter Here in
Campaign Under Mrs.
Sage.
ARE STILL COMING IN
Headquarters Kept Open, But oWrk-
ers are Very Slow About
Turning in Their Re-
ports.

at takes the women to do it, were
the last words of Miss inertia Nit
chell today after telling what Is
known to date of the membership
campaign in Keokuk for the Red
Cross.
1t is known now that about 1900
memberships were secured in keo-
kuk by the organization headed by
Mrs. William N. Sage, with Miss
Mitchell in charge of the neighborhood
canvass made all over town. The
campaign of just year ago accumu-
lated 1904 new members of the Red
Cross. The pride in the remark and
tone of Miss Mitchell seems to be
justified by the facts.
This campaign was almost entirely
in the hands of women. Mrs. Sage
appointed two or three men to posi-
lions on her staff, and they have
done their best for the cause and
filed the positions as well as even
women could do. But the bulk of the
organization in Keokuk and southern
Lee county were women.

Where Women are Shy.

While these women have secured
memberships and dollar for each
one at great rate and more than
was deemed possible by experienced
observers, they are shy about making
the formal reports.
AS result of this negligence, the
exact figures of the campaign are not
obtaina BILE. The women seem to have
an idea that getting the memberships
is all there is to the campaign, while
the fact is, that formal reports that
balance with the money deposited
and with street addresses and initials
correct are as necessary as anything
can be, especially when the secretary
of the treasury is at the other end
of the line.
Please say that ] hope every
worker will have her report in COM
plete before Saturday evening" said
Mrs. Sage this afternoon.
Headquarters are still being main.
tanned at 623 Man street, and the
new members are still being received
there, days and evenings. This will
continue until next Tuesday.
