Red Cross Notes
BY Marion Bowen.

Many people have said to me how
sorry they are that there will be no
more activity in our work rooms. Ban
ish the thought, and let your hearts
rejoice. for there will be more work
than ever. In fact, we have three
large packing boxes full Of rush or
der" right now. just waiting for the
ban to be lifted. Following are ex-
tracts from a message issued to all
chapters by the war council Of the
American Red Cross:
with peace declared let no one
suppose that the work OF the Red
Cross is finished. Millions of Amer.
ican boys are still under arms, thou
ssAds of them are sick or wounded.
owing to the shortage in shipping It
may take year or more to bring our
boys home from France. But our pro.
fecting arms must be about them and
their families over the whole period
which must elapse before the normal
Life of peace can be resumed. The

body of workers throughout the land

The gas defense has requested that
no more fruit pits and nut shells b.

splendid response to our call for pits

the gas defense such generous con

1t Took Talk too to
Beat these Germans
eBy Unitea rres..,

Paris. Nov. 10.-(By Mail.)-The
immensity OF the labors Of the auxii-
larry organizations OF the American
army during a big battle are shown
by the work of three signal corps Sec
tions in one of the last battles on the
American sector.
In three weeks one field signal bat
talon installed 80 switchboards. four
radio sets and three terminal boards
With the aid OF an infantry signal
platoon this battalion laid 1863 miles
of wire, repaired 2s miles of it. took
over % miles from the French and re-
covered 131 miles OF abandoned wire.
At the same time during the same
battle another auxiliary signal section
installed 49 switchboards and 149 tele-
phones. laid 1876 miles of new wire and
took over and repaired 81 miles of
lines. All of this work was done dur
ing the actual fighting operations.
By use of superimposed circuits and
special equipment the signal corps in
France is getting nearly three times
more service from their wires than
before. Through operation of special
equipment the signal corps sends as
many as four messages at one time
over the same single line in each di-
rection. For example, 1t can put on
four signal wires q maximum of 80
telegraph messages at the same time.
Or on these same four wires it can
handle "a kilograms and three tele-
phone connections.
The amount of telephone and tele-
graphic communication going on con-
tinuously in the expeditionary forces
is enormous. The wires of the Amer
lean signal corps are strung across
France in every direction. In case
of necessity connection can be made
within few minutes from the front
lines to the base ports hundreds of
miles away. One Of the big telephone
offices on the lines Of Communication
has facilities capable OF caring for a
population of 100000 people back
home.

A Ieafet circulated In exposition of

then you whip 1t. The founder and
director apparently thinks the child's
life should be spared for be says:

This mode of punishment is to be
continued until the child attains II

In this connection it is comforting
to recall that Charles Lamb. the fa-

Holidays Are
= Rapidly Nearing

Only 20 more shopping days be-
fore Christmas.
Only six more days to mail packages
to the boys in the army and navy. with
any assurance that they will be deiiv-
cred before the great holiday.
Citizens Of Canon City are finding 1
splendid assortment Of holiday goods
~ we'll as goods Of all kinds for every
day use. in the Canon City stores. and
they are taking advantage of the bar
gains As to price and the bargains as
to quality which are to be found in
this city.
Canon City marchants bought early
and heavily Of the best in the Eastern
markets: they bought before some OF
the advances. which means that they
can and do save their customers
money ON purchases. Some of the
goods TO be found in Canon City's
stores could not be bought today at
wholesale fr the price the local mer-
chants are selling them.
They also used good Judgment in
the selection of their stocks. good
goods being the aim; SO quality and
price are just right. Better bargains
are to be had in Canon City than most
anywhere else.
For these reasons business in Canon
City is improving right along. despite
the rather strict health rules. But the
time before the holidays is growing
short. and those who wish to make
others happy az Christmas tide. should
see the splendid showings OF holiday
goods without further delay.

GERMAN HOPE Of NAVAL
VICTORY ALL BLUFF

London, Nov. 21.-(British Wireless
Service.) Capt. Persius, the German
naval critic, publishes in the Berlin
Tageblatt an article containing reve-
lations regarding the German feet. He
says the hope that the German feet
would be able in q second Skagerrnk
battle to beat the British feet rested
upon the bluff and lies of the naval
authorities.
In August, 1914. Germany had about
100000 tonnage in warships. the
writer points out, while Great Britain
had more than double that, quite su-
perior to the German. In the Skager-
rak battle. he declares. the German
fleet was saved from destruction part
ly by good leadership and partly by
favorable weather conditions. AS it
was, the losses of the German fleet
were enormous. and on June /, Capt.
Persius says. it was clear that the
Skagerrak battle must be the only
general naval engagement of the war.
On all sides. continues the writer.
Admiral Won Hirpitz was advised to
construct only submarines. but he re-
.amined obstinate. On October 1 (1915)
several members of the. Reichstag
made an earnest appeal to the army
command-not to the naval staff-with
the result that an order was issued
terminating the construction of battle
ships in order that the material might
be used for the making of U-boats.
In the meantime. 80 great a scarcity
of material had arisen that it became
necessary to disarm a number of the
battleships and take the metal. In
this manner, at the beginning of 1916.
% battleships had been disarmed. as
well as one newly-built cruiser.
At the beginning of this year. Capt.
Persuis states. the German navy con-
sisted only of dreadnaughts and bat
tleships of the Helgoland, Kaiser and
Markgraf types and some few battle
cruisers.
All the ships which Won Tirpitz had
constructed from 1897 to 1906. at a
cost of innumerable millions. had been
destroyed and the U-boats that had
been constructed had proved unable
to fight against British warships.
In 1917. he states, submarines
were constructed. while Sc were de-
stroyed. In April. 1917. Germany had
126 submarines and In October lag.
In February. ls1, she had 1856 and In
June OF the same year 113. according
to Capt Persius' figures.
Only q small percentage OF these
submarines were actively operating At
any given time, Capt. Persuis de-
clares. In January. 1917. for instance.
when conditions were favorable for
submarine work. only IL per cent were
active. while 80 per cent were In har-
bor. 3s per cent under repairs and 20
per cent "incapacitated."
In the last months. he reveals. 1t was
very difficult to- get men for subma-
rine work. as experienced seamen
looked upon the submarine warfare as
political stupidity
Capt. Persuis tells OF the mutiny
that broke out at the beginning Of this
month when the German navy was
ordered out for attack. Had the sea-
men obeyed. the writer remarks. in
Vulnerable lives would have been lost
and he declares that ''every thinking
