GERMAN
LINER BRINGS IN
YANKEE TROOPS
Cart. L9plathaa, formerly
-Vaterland, Was Damaged
by Grew Before War But
Was Repaired,


New York, Dec. 1.-THE giant
American transport Leviathan, for
merly the Hamburg-American liner
vaterland, the largest vessel afloat
is due here tomorrow with between
5000 and 5000 officers and men of
the American overseas forces. A wire
less message was received here today
from the steamship. This will mark
the first arrival in this harbor Of the
great ship since the armistice was
signed, although during the period of
Americas participation in the war she
ferried across the Atlantic approx
mately 100000 fighting men, together
with vast quantities Of war supplies.
Among the first ships seized by this
government when war was declared
against Germany, it was discovered
that members of the Leviathan's crew
had done what they believed to be
irreparable damage to the engines
with the evident intention that she
represented by the flag she formerly
carried.
American engineering skill, howev-
er, proved equal to the emergency and
after weeks of hard work, navy me-
ehanics succeeded not only in restor-
ing the ship to her former efficiency.
but actually in securing from engines
a greater speed than her German
builders had contemplated. These re-
pairs were made at a cost of approxi-
mately 81 100000, and it is a matter
of pride to the overseas transport
forces that she has not missed a single
scheduled voyage since she was placed
in commission.
Armed to degree that made her
almost as formidable as a modern bat
tie cruiser and further strengthened
by her great speed. she braved the
submarine dangers of the war zone
and came through without a scratch.
Her voyages through the war zone
under the Stars and Stripes have been
ten in number. and she has carried an
average OF 10000 men besides her
crew
Launched at Hamburg on April /,
1918, the Leviathan arrived in New
York on her maiden voyage on July
2e. 1914.
She made only one round trip under
the German flag and her original name
before she was self-interned here al
the outbreak of the war.
The great ship is registered at 54,-
2S2 tons gross: she is 907 feet long and
100 feet OF beam, with engines which
originally developed93.0 900 horsepower.
The hull has five steel decks with
four others superimposed, making nine

New York, Dec. 14.---"Taps" to the
volunteer system of raising armies in
war time by the United States was
sounded here tonight by Mai. Gen.
Enoch II. Crowder. provost marshal
general. in an address to the retiring
members Of 1S9 New York draft
boards. He earnestly advocated that
the selective service system should
become the permanent method of
raising American armies in the future.
General Crowder declared that the
seleetive service law had enabled the
government in this war 10 register
23,740.000 Americans, put into the
field nearly 100000 fighters and to
have in readiness to entrain ON No
vember IL, when the armistice was
signed, 100000 more soldiers, all
within a period of eighteen months.
II would be u calamity" he said, for
the United States TO revert to the
volunteer system in view of such "A
successful test OF selective service,
adding that the men selected had
shown the valor, aggressiveness and
initiative of the most seasoned troops.
What of the army you have rails
ed % asked General Crowder. referr-
ing to the drafted men who had been
sent overseas. The answer comes
back from France in no uncertain
terms. These men YOU have sent to
the coiors have proved themselves
the equals in aggressive fighting and,
soldierly bearing of the veterans Of
France and England"
General Crowder's speech was an
exposition of the successful work of
the selective service law which, he
said, has responded $50 smoothly and
so well to our dual form OF state gov
ernment and national control that it
would be calamitous If It should not
become recognized part of our gov
ernmental system for the raising of
armies in time of war"
The provost marshal general con-
trasted the draft methods of the
United States with those of England
and showed how this country had
profited by the mistakes made by the
Brithish, who, after three years Of
trial with the volunteer system and
the disorganization of industry, were
obliged to adopt conscription.
Pointing out that when Germany
hurled her challenge to the democra-
cies of the earth It became necessary
for those democracies, for self-pres-
ervation, to organize their resources
as she had done and make every
man a soldier" active or reserve,

government program as:
XIII free speech; kill the free
press; kill the right of free assembly;
kill all good labor legislation; kill the
right to strike; kill humane teachings;
kill the ten commandments; kill all
who refuse to kill"

Auction Sale At
Armory March 9
Farmers Clubs and Business Men
Contribute Articles to be Sold at
Big Red Cross Benefit

The Farmers Clubs adjacent to
Redwood Falls have united in max
ing arrangements for a big auction
sale at the armory next Saturday,
March 9, beginning at ten A. NJ. The
net proceeds of this sale will be Civ
en- to the Red Cross and every man
and woman in Redwood County is in
vited to attend and to purchase lib
orally of the many articles offered
for sale.
The sale will be cried by F. F.. Pat
ten of Delhi and will be clerked by
Dougal Tiffany and J. P. Gaffney.
The usual terms will prevail with
the exception that everything will be
sold for cash. The local Red Cross
will serve lunch in the basement of
the Armory.
The articles offered for sale cover
wide range including a colt dona-
ted by M. l.. Kennedy, lead of
young stock given by D. Tiffany, reg
istered hogs, goat which is due to
fasten itself on someone and every
thing imaginable in farm produce,
grains, vegetables, canned goods, ETC.,
beside the many articles of merchan-
disc donated by the merchants of
Redwood Falls who have cen most
generous in their giving.
One very important feature of the
sale is the seed corn which several
of the farmers are donating. Mr.
French, County agent for Re lwood
County, states that Ill com offered
for sale will be given the Individual
ear test of six kernels from each
ear, so that each purch iseI will know
exactly the germinatie n ef the corn
he is buying.
All who have been approached by
the soliciting committee have been
most generous in their giving and the
list of articles is splendid one. How
ever the big test of each ones will

be shown by his atten lance at this
sale and the extent of his purchases.
These articles are absolutely useless
to the Red Cross until they are con-

be the big success it's promot ers hope
for each person must come ready to
make liberal bids and to purchase as
much as it is possible for him to
purchase.
