HIS LIES MYSTERY.

There is man in Bozeman, Mont,
who will probably go thru life be-
wailing the injustice of the draft
board that certified him for service,
despite the fact that he presented
letter written by his wife to prove
he had dependent family. Here is
the letter:
"Dear United States Army: My
husband asst me to write reckomend
that he supports his family. He can
not read so don't tell him. Jus take
him. He amt no good to me. He
aint done nothing but play n fiddle
and drink lemmen essense since mar
ried him eight years ago, and / got
to feed seven kids of his. Maybe you
can get him to carry a gun. He's
good on squirrels and eatin'. Take
him and welcum. | need the grub and
his bed for the kids. Don't tell him
this but take him" New York Trib-

What should be done by those who
catch the disease7
1T is very important that every per-
son who becomes sick with influenza
should 60 home at once and 60 to bed.
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and will, at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide. 1t is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep in the same room with the pa
tent In fact, no one but the nurse
should be allowed in the room.

should be taken that all such dis

Washington, D. C.-(Special)-Al-
though King Alfonso of Spain was
one of the victims of the influenza cpl

HOME INFLUENCE.

The influence of the American home
follows the American fighting man
clear to the front line trenches. It is
the first time in the worlds history
that this is the case This influence
is carried overseas by the sever great
welfare organizations. Huts are es-
tablished where the soldier may spend
his leisure time. Entertainment is
furnished him and he is given that
care and attention that he would have
received in a greater measure, at
home. These huts overseas are the
nearest thing to home that the SOL
der knows. To support this great
work there will be a drive for funds
by the United War Work campaign

mated the whole course of the war.
Since the 4th of August, 1914, the
date of declaration of war, the oceans
of the world have been rid of enemy
warships, and have been closed to en-
envy mercantile marine. Since the
Battle of Jutland, on the 31st day Of
May, 1916, the German high seas fleet
has only ventured out into the North
Sea and that voyage only lasted until
the British patrols get in touch with
her scouts. A total tonnage of 1885,
857 tons of the German navy have
been destroyed in action by the Brit
ish navy.
The navy of Great Britain has, since
August 1914, been increased by the
addition of 1890 vessels of all types.
This is. irrespective of 5000 vessels
that have been added to the auxiliary
patrol services. And thus the navy
that has been added to the fleet of
Great Britain during the val is larg-
er than the total navy of Germany be-
fore the val.
The British admiralty in 1914 con-
trolled 658 naval craft exclusive of a
small number of a~uxiliaries. The
British admiralty at the present time
controls 5649 vessels. From 146,000
the personnel has been increased to
nearly 100000. In the patrol around
Great Britain the monthly steaming
of the fleet and other vessels averages
nearly seven million miles, and in
keeping an area of 1900 square miles
clear for shipping over 700 mine
sweeping vessels are employed. These
ships sweep $4,000 square miles
monthly and steam over LOO, 900
miles in carrying out their duties.
Over 10000 vessels have since Au-
gust 1914, been intercepted and exam
ined by units of the British navy,
employed on blockaded channels.
For the defense of merchant ships
5000 guns have been provided and
the necessary guns crews trained and
detailed to duty.
The transportation of over 10000
900 troops across the seas has, by the
protection offered by the royal navy
been effected at a cost of under $500
lives lost by enemy action, a portion
of one life lost for 5000 troops car
ried.
Including nearly $4,000, 900 tons for
the allies, over 40, 900 900 tons of wal
materials and stores have been car
ried across the seas.
The German mercantile marine has
by the domination of the Brit sh ma,
been reduced by over 100000 tons
out of a total of 100000 tons in Au-
gust, 1914, and the remaining 2,70O,-

privileged to play in the impending
liberation of the world from auto

of the officers and men of the Brit

ing American men and supplies across
the Atlantic with so little loss Of men
