POSTERS ARE
PULLED DOWN
Somebody in Fl Madison Destroying
Red Cross Bills and
Pro-Germans are Sus-
pected.

FIT. MADISON, May 13.-The know.
ledge that someone has been des-
polling Red Cross posters through
out the city and this section of the
county during the past few days
aroused the more patriotic citizens
today, and a vigilence committee is
to be formed to determine If possible
the miscreants and to punish them.
It developers that the posters have
been torn down and destroyed in
many instances. They were taken
from bill boards. from buildings and
such through this section. The Incl
dents, it. is believed. occurred during
the past week.
A local business house which
placed many of the posters through
out this section, declared today that
without exception all of the posters
they had located have been torn
down and destroyed.
Following the discovery of the
acts of vandalism here, group Of
citizens announced their intention OF
forming a vigilance committee for
the investfga ton of the alleged acts
and they intend to uncover the
identity of the person or persons IL
dIlu Illtl oWlit pul-
ishment will be melted out to him.
It is the belief of some that the
acts can be laid at the door of some
rabid pro-German, although why he
should vent his spite on the Red
Cross, cannot be understood. The
Red Cross is an organization of
mercy extending it's hand rs much to
the care of German soldiers as to
those of the United States or the al
lies Unlike the German Red Cross it
dispenses real mercy and aid to the
captured wounded prisoners.
All Red Cross posters are to be
watched as far as possible in the
future and the first person found des-
polling them will feel the hand of the
they assert.

IRON AND BLOOD.

Few people know that every
courageous, red-blOoded person
such as our own soldier boys
at the front, has within his
body fifty grains Of iron. or as
much as is contained in an ordi-
nary "tenpenny" nail. To be
brave, courageous and active
one must have good, red blood.
Our men OF iron are men with
good blood, good circulation and
an active liver. The poor, weak
Isl ker" who is not brave
enough to go to war, is probably
unfit because OF thin. watery
blood. 1t is easy to acquire

REV. F. B. DUVAL
VISITS WILMINGTON
Former Pastor Of First Presby-
terian Church Guest of
Judge Gray.

'Wilmington's growth is marvellous, y
remarked Rev. Frederick b. DuVal,
former pastor of First Presbyterian
Church. now of Winnipeg, Ont, in speak
ing to a representative of Every Evening
during brief visit to Wilmington, which
ended today. Mr.. DuVal, who for the
past 80 years has been pastor of Knox
Presbyterian Church in Winnipeg was a
guest over night of Judge George Gray,
also calling on a number of other friends
whom he knew when he was pastor of First
Church, here, from 1875 to 1884.
Speaking of Wilmington's growth, he
said the place had been made over; one
would hardly know 1t who had been absent
for a number of years. Winnipeg, he said.
Is wonderful place. When he went there.

now it has 240, 900 and is destined to be-
come the Chicago of the Northwest, be-
cause of its wonderful agricultural re-
sources. I'VE raise wheat there by the
thousands of bushels he said. That is
the bread country and is proving great
attraction to mankind.
Mr.. DuEal has three sons in the British
army, one of whom has been wounded
The second and youngest sons, Paul Z.
and Marlin X, enlisted at the outbreak
of the war, in August, 1914, while the eld-
est son, Edward, who was a superlnten-
dent for the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
was prevailed upon by the railroad not TO
go at that time, but he could not resist and
subsequently resigned his position with the
railroad to join the colors. Since his en-
hStment he has seen service on the battle
front in France and with the Palestine
forces in Jerusalem and Jericho. Paul
is member of the famous Princess
Patricia regiment After being wounded
he was sent back to Canada, but he has
recovered and is now taking 200 stalwart
Young Americans back to England with
him. II was in order TO see him off that

there he could not resist the temptation TO
run over to Wilmington. Mr.. DuNal says

POTSDAM LEPER.
Americans Warned Of Misconccpti0n oi
German Character.

| Fresh warnings to Americans OF the

: dangers from the "Leper Of Potsdam, y
| together with comprehensive catalog Of
American pacifists Blind Guide" or
| ganizatiorA are contained in a new
patriotic appeal written by DR.. William
| #. Hornaday Of New York entitled Awake
! America and published under the auspices
of the American Defense Society.
DR. Hornaday, who since the beginning
| of the European war has been one OF
| the leaders in the preparedness move
| ment, in his present volume, pays par
| ticular attention to the dangers which
| NAV arise from what he calls mlscon-
| ceptions of the German character. Other
| topics dealt with in this volume are The
!, Dangers of an lnconclusive Peace. After
War Pacifsm and aliens Socialism. THE
German that we knew and admired so
much and that many loved up TO 1918
is dead and gone, according to Dr;
Hornaday. Already the civilized world
has lost six millions of men and many
billions of treasure. partly through its
awful ignorance and misconceptions of
Hun character and ambitions.
"Inasmuch as Germany now is the
bitterest and most dangerous enemy that
ever hated the United States, it becomes
highly important that every American.
regardless of sex, color, condition or
servitude, should have an exact and
luminous measure of that land and its
people The man who is ignorant of
the mind and manners of his enemy
thereby is at great disadvantage and
in the end his enemy Will make him pay
heavily for his ignorance
