VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR ARE DYING
 AT A RAPID RATE

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.-Vet- erans of the Civil War are dying at the rate of 100 daily, according to Orlando A. Somers, Commander in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. MT. Somers made this announcement during patriotic ex- cercises in this city recently in honor of Abraham Lincoln and the Union defenders.
 MT. Somers said there were now living approximately 1000 vet erans, according to the pension of fee at Washington, and he added that the country would have suffer- ed a great loss after they had all passed away inasmuch as they had been a commanding factor in keep ing patriotism alive in this coun- try.
 We may have to send 10000 900 men across the water before the war-crazed maniac of Europe will admit he is crushed and beat en, but in the end there can be but one outcome-our armies will re- turn victors," MT. Somers declared.

SP0R I s

With the promise of 150 shipbuild- CTS and possibly more to join the membership ranks of the organlza- tion immediately, the Seattle Ath- letic Club at It's annual meeting N0t' ed to continue athletics with the or ganization and to uphold the Blue Diamond emblem which in the past has won national recognition.
 The decision was practically unan, imous. When Fred Carver, retiring president, asked for vote on the matter every member present stood on his feet and vowed to stand with the club and at the same time pledg- ed himself to secure at least one member before the expiration of this month.
 At recent shipyard meeting d committee from each of the four yards went in session to formulate plans to assist the amateur club. The result of the session was evi- denced in the vote. According to the present agreement, the shipyarG workers are to secure 150 members, while the club is to register 100.
 The membership fees, it was vot ed will be $25 until the membership campaign drive, which is to be start ed immediately, is finished. The ain of the organization is to attract 700 new members, with the assistance of the shipbuilders.
 o. D. Colver, prominent member, was chosen to lead the club for the next twelve months, succeeding re- tiring President Fred Carver A. $. Goldsmith, well-known amateur ath- letic booster, was placed at the head of the list of directors, including Il. F. Potter, T. w. Butler, J. s. Sheedy Theodore N. Haller, N. Hallgren, Hen ry Kyerfi c. L. Morris, F. s. Lang, NJ. P. Hawkins and John Clark.

FOOD SUBSTITUTES
 IN GERMANY ARE
 NJURINC THE HEALTH

LONDON, Feb. 26.-German scien- lists say that unless the government avtively intervenes to put some con- trol over the flood of substitute foods with which the country is overwhelm- ed the end of the war will also see the end of third of Germany's pop ulation. Prof Juckenack of the Uni versity of Berlin says: "The devil alone knows what are the ingred- tents of thousands of these wretched substitutes. The latest products of the ingenius substitute-mOngers are really too terrible to be tolerated. preparation of crude kerosene is now being largely sold for frying oil and 800 cases of serious illness, together with nine deaths. have been traced to it's use in Berlin alone. A preparation called 'goose-dripping' is prepared from dogs fat; egg sub stitute from a mixture of chalk and baking powder; caviar from fish scales, and bread from straw. What people, no matter how patriotic, can hold out on such fare?"

WOMEN PROBLEM AFTER TIE WAR
 IS DISCUSSED
Noted British Authoress Tells What Women Will Do with Vote
 After the War.

LONDON: Feb. Correspond ence of The Associated Press) - Now that the women of England virtually are assured of the vote, a discussion has arisen as to what they will do with it after the war.
 Approval by Parliament of the new Franchise Bill, which before the war undoubtedly would have been the signal for a great femi- nine demonstration, elicited far less excitement than the average street queue which forms nowadays in front of corner grocery shop.
 While the mere mention of the introduction of such a measure for merly would have been flashed across the front pages of all the great Eng fish newspapers, it's enactment into law now commands only passing mo- tice, and it's relative importance to the other news of the day is so slight that the average reader might easily overlook it altogether.
 What does it all mean?" the hard headed, once uncompromising Englishman is asking.
 "It means" says Miss Marie Co., relli, the novelist, that woman's work after the war will be very much on the straight and simple lines of nature-love, sweetness, and home. That's all woman's work which she is just now compelled to neglect-but only to cling to it tions is past''

SUB FIGHTS BACK
 AS A|RMEN ATTACK American Aviator Believed
 to Have Sunk Submarine From Seaplane

London, September 26.-The first case in which it is known that a sub marine fought back when attacked by a seaplane resulted in the plob- able destruction of the submarine oy an American aviator, Reserve Ensign J. F. Carson, it was announced by the admiralty today
 With shrapnel from the elevated for- ward gun of the submarine bursdins, around his seaplane, Ensign Carson nlaneuvered until he was able to pour machine gun fire into the crew, felling two of them and driving the others inside. The submarine submerged. and as she was diving two bombs were dropped on her.
 Within few minutes the bow of the U-boat appeared on the surface and remained visible about four minutes. More bombs were dropped in this ir- terval, and it is believed the under- see craft was either badly damaged or destroyed.
 Ensign Carson's machine, with two others. was on patrol when the sub marine was sighted on the surface and the ensign made for her Carson re- mained over the spot 15 or 20 minutes, but the U-boat was no longer in evil dence.
