much to the detriment of Keokuk.

Two federal officials at present In

clouded with distrust and suspicion
Speculatious regarding their business
in this vicinity range from claims
that they are income tax officers, to

as remote from the truth as other

government will give a separation al

By United Press.
Washington, Feb. 4.--Declaring that
the war department is better
equipped with brakes than with mo
tive power and that chaos resulted
alone from the other departmental
work, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
today resumed demands for further
coordination of the nations war ef-
forts. The attack came in the face
OF the presidents urgent demand for
less discussion of the war cabinet bill
and more action on important legis
lation.
Senator Hitchcock charged the war
department with falling down in the
most important functions. He said
that Secretary Bakers efforts to cor
rect defects would prove futile. He
charged that the lack in the proper
direction of authority resulted in the
present fuel situation and that the
transportation system has fallen
down and is a gigantic wreck. He
said that the president was wrong in
assuming the entire responsibility for
the shortcomings in an effort to
block the change in the law

RED CROSS
CAMPAIC
CONTINUED
Bad Weather Prevents Committees From
Completing Work; Expect TO Finish
Today With Full Quota
Because OF the bad weat-

Because of the bad weat-e
week some of the committees on the
Red Cross campaign did not finist
their work, hence the campaign was
continued over today. With but f..
exceptions the subscriptions are be
ing made as planned by the various
, committees and 1t was thought that
the entire amount would be raised to-
day If the subscriptions held up as
they had in the first three days OF
the campaign.
Although those in charge Of the
campaign were confident that tine
necessary funds would be raised
they were none too optimistic about
the matter and said that the sum al
lotted to the various individuals
would have to be subscribed if the
campaign was success.
M. Z. Humphrey, who is in charge
of the Red Cross campaign, in speak
ing of the matter today, said, "The
campaign so iar is meeting with sue
cess and our anticipations in most
instances are being realized but to
make it the success that it was in
tended that it should be, everyone
must subscribe the amounts that
have been allotted to them if it is
at all possible for the committees
have made their plans SO that all will
bear a proportionate amount OF the
burden and if anyone falls down this
will cause someone else to have to
pay more and in this way place an
additional burden upon the commit.
tees. However, we are confident that
the necessary funds will be subscrib-
ed"
Today one of the committeeman
was standing in a local bank and one
of the Red Cross books was being
filled out. G. w. Owens, farmer
whs was standing near by, asked
what was being done and when told
promptly drew twelve dollars from
the bank and handed it over to the
committee. Then a negro, Anderson
Moore, standing to one side, saw
what was being done and said: Mis-
tab. what is you all doin' theah? ?"
He was promptly informed of the
work and replied well, wants to
give somefin to dat club and you
can jes put me down for dollah a
month"
Mr. Humphrey announced that all
of the children OF the various com,
mittees would meet at Brownson's
drug store tomorrow at noon for
lunch when the returns from the
campaign will be gone over. "Ev-
cry one will be given chance to
give what he thinks he is able to give
and then when we are satisfied that
all contributions are in we will turn
list of the contributors over to
the newspapers for publication" said
Mr.. Humphrey.
