PLANS FUR
 BIG DRIVE
Continued from Page l

Captain Fred Rosenberg, has been at the front for some time, said that his son writes him of the good work of the Red Cross. MT. Rosenberg said, We all should put plenty of zip into this drive" and advised taking collections at all shows and other public gatherings. Men are always willing to give for the Cause. On his way to the meetings, he was handed $500 by humble fellow who could not attend. He favored asking the commanding officer at Fort William H. Seward to send a squad of soldiers here at some time during the drive. He thought that would raise more enthusiasm.
 F. T. Shaw was heartily in favor of the movement, and said that all must support it; that apart from the war the errand of mercy carried on by the Red Cross should enter :rS to every ones heart. He was con fident that Skaguay would live up to it's reputation and Qver-subscribe tn amount expected from her.
 Hal Johnston suggested g mass meeting where all who had relatives at the Front could speak, and tho't this would raise considerable en- thusiasm and get better results.
 Many others spoke among whom We're William Bunting, V. I. Hahn, W. c. Blanchard, c. c. Cole, P. H. McCIelland, N. o. Hardy, Guy Dr. W. G. Gabie, Cor don Powell.

Potatoes Still Rolling In.

Potatoes in large quantities are still
rolling in to the starch factory-upon
days of the past week when roads per-
mitted the main street was lined with
double rows Of wagons awaiting their
turn to unload. To relieve the con-
gestion as much as possible Manager
Sampson secured every available place
in the village where potatoes could be
temporarily stored, and many of the
farmers unloaded their potatoes at
these places.
Receipts at the factory were con-
siderably larger this week than last
and there is constant inflow.
Fourteen men are now employed at
the plant shifts half of whom
work in the daytime and the other
half at. night. The factory is also in
operation on Sundays. This has been
made necessary by the heavy receipts
of potatoes which are taxing the ca
pacity of the big plant to it's utmost.
Frank Blair, buyer and weighmaster
at the factory, is kept on the jump
from morning to night but he is fully
capable Of dispatching the work re-
quired of him.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

i. Secretary McAdoo urges the pur-
chasers of Liberty bonds to hold fast
to them as they constitute the best
investment in the world. The secre-
tary's statement was called forth by
the fact that Liberty bondholders are
being approached from time TO time
by agents seeking to induce them. to
part with their bonds and take in ex-
change securities, which in a number
of cases, are of a very questionable
value, and was prompted by the desire
to protect the bondholders against ill.
advised disposition Of their bonds
The secretary expresses the hope that
every purchaser of Liberty bond will
realize that the only genuine help that
he gives the government is keeping
his bonds as an investment so long as
it is possible for him to do so.
He states, however, that no just OBJ
lection lies to the sale of a Liberty
bond when real necessity exists for
such action.

Situation Critical.

Another German drive is on in Elan
ders and a determined effort is being
made to break through the British
lines to the channel Haig's line has
been bent back in places, but on the
whole his men are holding on like
bulldogs. It is admitted, however,
that the situation is critical.
Lloyd George has informed parlia-
ment that every ounce Of the nations
reserve strength must be utilized if
disaster is to be averted. He has also
demanded that CONSUMPTION shall ap-
ply to Ireland as we'll as to England,
Scotland and Wales. Americans are
now on the fighting line with the
French and British, and from now on
the few that are cover there" will take
and active part and will acquit them
selves as Americans always have in
the past. If the British and French
ican hold on until relnforcements ar
rive from this side-and there is every
indication that they will-the begin
ming Of the end will be in sight.
Foch, the brilliant French general,
is now commander-in-chief of all the
allied forces including the Americans.
He is considered >the greatest strate-
|gist in Europe and he is confident that
Hindenburg cannot break through.

to forswear his allegiance to this coun-
try, neither could he join the French
army for the same reason, hence he
enlisted in the famous Foreign Legion,
where no questions are asked The
Foreign Legion is made up Of men of
all nationalities, fifty three being rep
resented, and is composed Of the most
reckless fighters in any Of the Euro
pean armies. From the first Mr.. Bowe
saw hard fighting and was in the
front trenches for weeks at stretch
Over $4,000 men have enlisted in the
Legion, and when Mr.. Bowe left in
November there were only $500 left at
the front. Mr.. Bowe was hit by a
piece Of a shrapnel and badly wounded
on the head. He was in hospital in
Boulogne, France, and later in an
English hospital.
Mr.. Bowe is 48 years Of age. If his
physical condition permits he may be
in at the finish, for he is a born fighter,
but if he does go back he will fight
under the Stars and Stripes.
In the political arena, as on the bat
tie field, sturdy John Bowe was always
and ever a good fighter, and in the
campaign of 1904 the writer had no
more ardent friend and supporter than
he. May he live to tell his great
grandchildren Of his services in the
French Foreign Legion.

Dedication of Service Flag.

The dedication of the service flag
at St. Edwards church that was to
take place three weeks ago had to be
postponed on account of the severe
snowstorm. The flag, which now con-
tains 81 stars, will be blest with ap-
propriate ceremonies at the church
next Sunday evening at 1880. Rev.
William Blum Of Minneapolis has been
secured for the occasion to deliver a
lecture on the flag. Father Blum is
a gifted orator-a second Father
Cleary-whose patriotic lectures and
sermons attracted large audiences
wherever he appeared. He will be
here also for the 1890 mass, at which
the Catholic Order of Foresters will
approach holy communion in a body
The public is cordially invited to hear
the famous speaker and real treat
is in store for those who attend-es-
pecially the dedication service next
Sunday evening at 1880.

of donning the mask with neatness and
dispatch. Today we visited the gas
house and tried the masks in an at
mosphere in which poisonous fumes
were noticeable. Tear gas was tried
for a minute or two with no protec-
ton, and the company shed sufficient
tears to float battleship. The smart
ing sensation is difficult to describe,
but I doubt not that it would cause a
tobacco store Indian to weep.
Poison gases are another evidence of
that German "kultur" that is so black
that SCOT scraped from the very hinges
of hades would make a white mark
upon it. The Huns introduced this
barbarous method of warfare, and as
it violates the principles Of interna-

who survived might better have died.

quota is $15O,OOO. Let us make this
drive intensive, short and snappy and
Ego over the top" in record time. The
amount asked is not so large but that
it should be readily raised in this coun-
ty and considerable sum in addition.
It is absolutely necessary that the
American people finance the war, but
in purchasing Liberty bonds they are
the gamers rather than the losers.
They are not giving anything to the
government but merely investing their
money at a good rate of interest on
gilt-edged security and assisting in
crushing Prussian militarism and
kaiseritic autocracy and despotism. Is
The third Liberty loan drive bids
fair to eclipse in patriotic response
either the first or the second cam
paign. It will start with an accumu-
lated fund of enthusiasm that will
sweep over the country in vast wave
of zeal and, besides, it will be prose
cuted by the largest and most COM
plete citizen organization that any
country has ever possessed.

John Bowe of Candy Here.

John Bowe Of Candy, Mimi, who
served in the famous French Foreign
Legion for almost three years, spoke
to large audiences in the church at
Book yesterday afternoon, and in the
evening at the church in Bogus Brook,
near the bridge that spans Rum river.
Mr.. S. P. Skahen, who has charge of
the speaking campaign for the Liberty
loan drive, was instrumental in get
ting Mr.. Bowe here.
At the Book meeting the church was
well filled and the pastor opened the
meeting with prayer. Mr.. Skahen
made short talk and was followed
by Mr.. Bowe, who held the audience
spellbound for an hour and half with
a recital of his experiences on the
battlefront. He made an earnest ap-
peal to all to stand by the country and
subscribe literally to the war loan.
At the Bogus Brook meeting the
church was densely packed and Mr.. C.
L. Jump presided.
Rev. Olsen was the first speaker
and delivered . brief but patriotic adj
dress. He was followed by Mr.. ,Skahen,
who talked Liberty loan. for 80 minutes.
Mr.. Bowe then entertained the great
crowd an hour and half, and it is
needless to add that he was attentive
" listened to-not single individual
left until he had finished. Three young
ladies sang keep the Home Fires
Burning" and the very successful
meeting adjourned.
Mr.. Bowe is veteran of the Span
ish-American war and served year
and ten. months with the 18th Mime
sofa in the Philippines. In January,
1915, Mr.. Bowe arranged his business
at Candy and quietly slipped away to
New York and sailed for France. He
felt as if he must take hand in the
great struggle and he knew his wife
and family would object if they knew
he was going. Although native Of
England he did not care to join the
English army, as he would be obliged
