SD, OOO,0 900 OVER THE
TOP FOR THE RED CROSS

With many eleventh hour sub
scriptions yet to be tabulated, the
great outpouring of American dol
lars to the second war fund of the
Red Cross Tuesday totalled s144,-
600 900, an over-subscription of S44-
100000 in the weeks campaign
which ended at midnight Monday.
Officials hazarded predictions that
the total might approach the $780,
100000 mark. Tabulations showed
that every division with the excep-
ton of the central. had passed its
quota and every state except Illinois
had raised more than it's allotment.

Millionaire Soldiers

u. 5, Marines in France are rap
idly acquiring new sobriquets.
The Germans, terrorized by their
maniacal fighting, have dubbed
these Americans, Devil Dogs"
But the French who have come
in contact with the Marines refer to
them as the millionaire soldiers
due to the fact that Marines are
constantly dividing their pay
with the French women and children
who need help ln many instances
Marines have been known to Give
10 their entire months pay to pur.
chase food for destitute French fam
lilies
And the Marines are proud of

OHIO DIVISION IS SPEEDING UP WORK FOR OVERSEA DUTY Intensive Training Now Go ing on Indicates Early
 Departure for
 Front

Montgomery, January o.-(Special) Ohio soldiers at Camp Sheridan com pleted the major portion of their inten- sive training Saturday at noon and next week will start on the finishing work which will equip them for duty across the seas. Censorship regulations pro- hibit the publication of facts about troop movements, but the report Is general in camp that the division will leave Mont gomery long before spring and even the officers are not making an effort to pre- vent the spreading of the information.
 An order of division headquarters Sat- urady cancelled the mid week half holi- day which has been given the division each Wednesday afternoon since the training was begun.
 This time will be used in a continua- tion of the finishing work. Maj. Gen. Charles G. Treat has declined to make statement on the report, his official declaration being, 'tI know nothing ex- cept that we are putting in the maximum of work"
 It is believed the Ohio national guard division will be succeeded by selectmen of Ohio now quarted at Chillicothe.
 Several thousand selectmen are now due at Camp Sheridan. When they ar rive the division will reach full war strength.
 Great attention is being paid now to the teaching of English to foreigners who are unable to speak it or to speak it we'll.
 An order Saturday prohibits the segre- gation of foreigners and requires the distribution of them through the division in order that association with educated men may cause them to absorb the lan- guage.
