Grand Central Palace
Leased to Government

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-A yearly
rental of 100000 will be paid by the
government for the Grand Central Pal
ace in New York City, which will be
converted into the nations biggest war
hospital as quickly as possible. A ten
tativc contract has been drawn up by
the War Department and A. !. du Pont,
representing the owners OF the build
ing, by which it becomes available for
war purposes. The plans of the Medi-
cal Department. if approved by the
General Staff, will result in the struct-
ure becoming q general hospital with
accommodations for nearly 1000 men
as they arrive in New York from over
seas
The hospital will be utilized as re-
ceiving station for American wounded,
and patients will be kept there until
their injuries will permit their removal
to army hospitals in the section of the
country from which they originally en-
tered the service. The big plant will he

Yankee Army Only
An Imagination,

set Opinions Of Noted
Generals

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 20. - Profess
sional soldiers like Generals Won Blume
and Won Liebert, unlike so many other
German war critics, do not seek to be-
little the significance of the appearance
of the American army on the West
front.
General Won Blume, who is on the
retired list, writes an article on the
subject which appears in the "Rhein-
ische .Westfaelische Zeitung." He
frankly admits that I'VE have to recog-
nize that the Americans, all in all,
bave done very smart work, and it
would be very serious thing if the
German army command had to face an
American fighting army of millions"
This prospect the German public
must on no account be permitted to
ponder over. and almost Immediately
after the article appeared a semi
official statement was issued to the ef-
feet that the Exaggerated reports
gong about regarding the size of the
American army in Europe merit no
credence and only exist in Yankee
imagination and Entente propaganda"
The statement said further: "The
tonnage question, which is already
acute. will become still more serious
TOR the Entente when America has to
ship her crops to Europe"
General Won Liebert, who was former
commandant at Lodz, and who is now
military critic of the "Taegliche Rund-
schau," of Berlin, tells the public that
the American army has actually become
big factor and the debarkations in
France are proceeding regularly Gen
eral Won Liebert laments the moral
perversion' which brought the Amer-
cans to the front, and says "the French
and British owe their recent successes
to their transatlantic ally, without
whom their offensive would have been
doomed to disappointment"

Lieutenant Albert J. Stanford. of l "a

his letter he sad he was writing as
the Germans bombed Paris from the

Lieutenant Stanford is twenty-five

writes from Base Hospital No. 10, in
France, that he was gassed in action
during the Marine drive. The letter
dated July so, was received by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. Hogan,
of Grove Street, White Plains.

70 Years in Service

Devil Dog" Dan DAILY has done it

having it headed in his direction the
third time, First Sergeant Daniel DAILY.
OF the T. S. Marine Corps, native and
resident of Jamaica, l.. l., when he is
home-which is seldom-has been
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross for gallant action in the front
in France, wherein he typified the
bulldog courage of the marines.
In General Pershing's communicate
DAILY is cited for having risked his life
on June 5, 1918, when he extinguished
a fire in an ammunition dump. On
June 7, 1913. in the face of violent
fira'. he visited all his guns crew to
cheer them on, and three days later he
attacked an enemy machine gun and
captured it. Later, on the same day,
while under fire, he rescued wounded
companions.

Sergeant Daly's aged mother and
other relatives live on Long Island,
where Daniel was born ffty-tve years

youth and he joined the marines
twenty-six years ago. 1t wasn't long
before he reached sergeantcy.
But it wasn't until the Boxer re-

tells how the marines were the first
to enter Tien-tsin one memorable day
in 1900. And the records of the Ma

the wall was Daniel DAILY, of ia

Postponed by Rush to Enlist

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. 20.-Because
of the voluntary enlistments in the

pone for six weeks the enrolment of
men for further drafts. 1t had been
planned to call for a new class of re-
cruits for September /. The large
number of enlistments is believed by
officials to be due to the adoption of
conscription, which was voted by Par

THRIFT DOES NOT DEMAND A
TIGHT PURSE.
Business Men Begin to See Injury
From Misunderstanding Pub
lie Talks ON the Question
of Economy.

The protest from business men
against indiscriminate thrift talk Is
assuming nation wide proportions,
and the demand that the people
should be made clearly to understand
the difference between thrift, which
means sound buying, and saving
which is taken to mean non-pur-
chase, is growing more insistent.
Business has been seriously affect
ed in many parts of the country
owing to an improper Interpretation
being placed on some OF the THRIFT
utterances and again because some
of the hysterical thrift advocates
have presented the proposition in an
entirely incorrect light.
The importance of a proper inter-
probation of thrift is brought out by
]. C. Berrien of the Berrien-Durstlne
Advertising Agency OF New York
Mr.. Berrien does not see how con-
tinuous publicity advocating thrift is
likely to he injurious to the country
"The more publicity on the sub
ject," he writes, "the nearer we Will
come to "a proper understanding OF
the correct meaning of thrift.
"If thrift is synonymous with
proper buying. how can propaganda
along this line injure any one ex-
cept the makers of shoddy merchan-
disc. which is too expensive on &C
count of it's shoddiness for even the
wealthy to buy, much less the poor?
ut is certain that the government
needs money: 1t is certain that It Is
the individuals responsibility to pro-
vide his share: it is certain that by
reimbursement of individual budgets
every one will be able to give sup
port to the government and such
charities as the Y. N. c. A. and the
Red Cross, not forgetting local chart
ties like hospitals, relief associations,
etc.
Nobody has said the thing that
expresses our feelings more accurate
Nv than the Ladies Home Journal in
It's January issue on page 26, copy
Of which is attached"
This is what that publication had
to gay on the subject:
