form of a patriotic rally and Red Cross
demonstration. 1t was decided at meet
ing of the special conRittee in charge
of the affair in The Star building last

The fact that the Red Cross drive

ing the cause which will carry aid and
comfort to American soldiers wounded
in France.

throughout the day on the grounds.

GLAD STATUE IS GONE |
D. G. Residents Pleased at Removal
of Image Of Frederick
the Great.

Prompt and effective action by the
War Department. at the suggestion Of
President Wilson. in removing the
statue Of Frederick the Great from In
front of the War College yesterday
brought favorable comment throughout
the city when it became known.
For some time there has been move
ment throughout the country opposed
to the retention of the statue of the
Father of Prussian Militarism' in the
Capital city now that the country is
an enemy of the Huns. To many per-
sons the action indicated that the grip
of the government machine on dis
loyal citizens Is beginning to tighten
not only on internal enemies, but that
It also will result in concerted move
,nent throughout the country to scrap"
every image exploiting Prussianism.
Regrets were expressed that the
statue presented the government by the
kaiser as memorial to his militar-
istic ancestor was not used for some
purpose other than being given a place
in storeroom at the War College. The
resting place was designated as too
comfortable for the man who first re-
moved the man from German" The
predominating opinion on the disposi-
tion of the statue was that it should be
melted into bullets and returned again
to the Germans.

Victory will be spelled in the
world war by the spirit of America
spirit which will triumph in spite Of all
obstacles, e. Hilton Jackson of the
liberty loan committee told members of
the Mount Pleasant Citizens Association
at meeting held in the Brown Betty
Inn last night.
Presenting the dark and light side
of the picture" Mr.. Jackson thrilled
his hearers with his pictures of those
things which are working for and
against victory for the allies in the
war.
Command of the seas; the spirit of
the English, French and other allies;
and the spiritual and material contri-
buttons of the United States-these are
the great phases of the bright side Of
the picture, Mr.. Jackson pointed out
mo army of hirelings. even those led
by a man who considers himself the
lieutenant of God Almighty, can stand
against the spirit of America" de-
clared Mr.. Jackson.

AMERICAN TRANSPORT LOST.
President Lincoln Lost While Home.
ward Bound-RcpOrt of Vice Ad-
niiral Sims Makes No Reference to
Casualties-PrObably Little Loss of
Life.

Washington, May 31.-Loss of the
homeward bound American transport
President Lincoln was reported today
by Vice Admiral Sims. The message
was brief, merely stating that the YES
sci was torpedOed at 1O.4O o'clock
this morning and went down an hour
later. 1t made no mention of casual
ties.
Navy officials waited anxiouslv to-
night for further details but as the
attack occurred by daylight and the
ship remained afloat for ar hour they
felt certain the casualty list would be
small and probably limited to a few
men killed or injured by the explo-
sion. The President Lincoln was a
big former passenger liner of the Ham
burg-American line. She was one of
the German ships taken over by the
United States at the declaration of the
war.
