hemmed in Belgium and a part of north
ern France, 100000 human>beings look
to us for clothing as well as food. We,
who are well clothed, can hardly appre.
ciate in what dire need these people are
| for lack of necessities. Stocks of cloths
! ing and raw materials are long since ex-
hausted There are no imports other
| than those the commission for relief in
Belgium has been permitted to make, and
these never have been sufficient. The
world is now short of both clothing and
raw material, so the commission can no
longer purchase what is needed. But

and both sexes, is urgently needed. In

Red Cross Bazaar Melted $33S-Every-
body Contributed Generously.

The Red Cross bazaar, held Friday
afternoon and evening, Sept. 20, under
the auspices of the local organization,
proved phenomenal success, far exceed
ing the expectations OF even the most
sanguine. The total receipts were
S36304 and the net proceeds amounted
to 1898, which, considering that there
was steady dowRour Of rain all the
time, proves that the community is fired
with spirit of patriotism which no
amount of water can quench.
People contributed very generously and
there was a good display of farm prod
ucts, both vegetable and animal, also
framework, aprons, useful articles, parcel
post packages and other things too nu-
merous to mention. Some brought vol
untary gifts of cash.
All the sale tables were literally pat
ronized during the afternoon and the re-
naming articles were sold at auction
after the entertainment
An excellent harvest supper was served,
which was also well patronzed and
brought in over $50, besides the sale of
ice cream, which amounted TO $32.3S.
Money flowed freely and the people even
bought tags to the amount of S3S, after
paying more than market price for ar
ticies purchase There was no evidence
o. hard times or tight wads.
Owing to the rain, the parade could
not be carried out in full, but the part
exhibited was very good and showed
much originality.
The speakers of the evening were DR..
Meade and c. i, Lowe of Montpelier,
both of whom gave very interesting adj
dresses, which were much enjoyed.
The committee is well pleased with
the success of the affair and wishes to
thank everybody for their liberal con-
tributions and patronage and also the
band and all others who in any way as
sisted in bringing about such gratifying
results.
Remember that this is the week to
search your attics and storerooms for
warm clothing for the Begians H. @.

REGISTRATION
SLOW IN CITY
AND COUNTY

The registration Of young men for
the new selective service draft pro-
ceeded slowly during the morning at
the division No. headquarters in the
court house. and at division No. 2
headquarters in the town hall at
Cambridge City
Up to noon a total of 60 men had
registered with the Richmond board,
and it Is estimated by Chairman Carr
that the total registration for the day
will exceed $50. The governments es-
innate was 10 per cent of the total
registration last year, and this would
make 27O to register here. 1t is not
believed, however, that this number
will be reached because of the fact
that so many young men have enlist
ed within the last month in order to
be in service before registration day.
The same conditions exist at Cam
bridge City where it was reported 81
men registered up to noon. The total
number who will register during the
day is estimated at about rs or so.
Basing the estimate on the 10 per
cent basis Of last years registration
the number would be about 11O.

miles off New York and eleven men
of her crew were brought here today

sci occurred at $50 p. m. and that he
was told by the commander of the sub
marine that the U-boat had previously
sunk three schooners and three steam
ers, one of which was a large passen-
ger ship of about 5000 tons.
These sinkings. Captain Hanson
said. had taken place the submarine
commander told him, on the day prev
ious, Saturday. If this Is true. II
means the destruction of six vessels
not previously known to have been
sunk.
Officials who heard the captain s
story were inclined to doubt that the
U-boat commander had told the truth
or thought there had been some mis-
understanding.
