SOCKS BRING
 IN SNM OF S65O
 FOR RED GROSS
Pair Is Still Drawing Mon- ey and Is Expected to Bring in at Least
 $1,OO0.

DOUGLAS, Feb. 13.-During the latter part of last summer pair of new socks came into the posses sion of Miss Browning, the well known and popular stewardess of the steamer Princess Sophia.
 Whether the socks were left on the boat by some passenger is not known or not material to this story. But having them, Miss Browning conceived the happy idea of raf- fling them among the passengers for the benefit of the Red Cross. This was done once on each north and south bound voyage of the steamer, the winner of the socks always re- turning them to the stewardess.
 By the first of last September the sum of $200 had been won for the Red Cross by railing the socks and evidently the good work is still going on according to letter received by a recent mail from Miss Mildred Mcleod who left here two weeks ago for .the purpose of talk ing course in nursing at Vic tofia, B. C., hospital. Miss Mcleod writes that on the trip south she was the winner of the oft-raffled hosiery which now has to it's cred it the handsome sum of $650. Miss Mcleod turned the socks back to the stewardess who will continue railing them until they have made 5000.
 Miss Mcleod arrived in Victoria in the morning and that afternoon che had donned the attire of her chosen profession and was already at work.

VOICES SYMPATHY WITH
 THE LOYAL AMERICANS
 OF GERMAN EXTRACTION

Secretary of War Baker has writ ten the following letter:
 Dear MT. Blome: l have received your letter of December 30, voicing your loyalty and that of the great mass of other Americans of German blood to the government of the Unit ed States and to the ideals of it's freedom in this conflict with the Imperial German government and it's ideals of military conquest and auto cratic rule
 As so many others have done, you are suffering for the offenses against civilization in the name of the Im- perial government by Prussian devot- ees of repression and force. Unhap- pily, it has seemed inevitable that the offenses of the guilty should in volve the innocent.
 Even in the days when the aggres- sions of the Imperial German gov ernment were driving the authorities in Washington to accept state of war there was no doubt of the loy- atty of great masses of Americans of German extraction, and there was whole-hearted effort to protect these citizens from the enmities en- gendered by war. No wholesale and indiscriminate measures of repres- sion were taken again alien agents and tools and sympathizers within our borders. Therefore patience was preached and race antagonism dis couraged. There has been a con stant aim to give the loyal and dis loyal an opportunity to separate themselves from each other by speech and actions. Only in this way could loyal Americans of Ger man blood be protected from even greater injustices than they have been called upon to endure.
 Happily this process of differen- tiation between the loyal and the disloyal seems now to be approach ing a conclusion. With the latter placed where they shah be harm.

streets southeast and walked over to
Eleventh street
A'When 1 turned the corner OF
Eleventh and N streets I noticed a
large touring car pass me and go
down Eleventh street to L and stop.
when I got to the corner a negro
stepped out OF the machine and ap-
.proached me. saying: Gould you di-
rect me to Anacostia?'
IL replied, Yes, can
That was as far as I got.
He put his hand over my mouth
and started dragging me toward the
machine.
when I realized what he was do
ing I bit his hand and started
stratching his face.
Then he grabbed me more vicious
ly and each time I attempted to break
away he tiEhtened his hold. once
during the struggle he dug his finger
nails into my face.
THE man in the machine, who had
been quiet the whole time. yelled to
him to stop me from yelling. and just
then a bread wagon passed down n
street, and the negro lOosened his
hold.
1T was then I slipped out OF his
clutches and ran toward the navy
yard, where I met one OF the guards.
After telling him the story NE got
