By way of extra added attractions

other sports which are a feature oil
the weekly meetings OF the Arion
Club at Central High School Such
strenuous games will probably not APP
peal very strongly to convalescent pa
tients. but they'll enjoy looking on
and there'Il be plenty OF other guests
present to take part in them Re
freshments are to be served, for what
boy ever had a regular good time I'M
less he was given something to eat,
and, best of all, therell be plenty of
girls to take each OF the soldier boys

Here's where the Ohio Girls Club
comes in, for the members are to as
sist the members the Arion Club as
hostesses. The Ohio Girls Club, by
the way is about the most alive Of
the numerous State societies formed
IN Washington among the war work
ers; and IL has done a really wonder
full work In the way of providing
amusemtnt for Ohio girls IN WASH
inEton and for the boys from Ohio
in the camps and cantonmentS near
town.
Early in the day II developed that
parties at which the boys were in
cluded were more successful than

went by during the summer but that

the club got up some sort OF dance.
picnic or outing to which Ohio men
from the camps were invited. Once.
for instance, the club and its guests
made an aIl-day excursion to Great
Falls by canal boat, with a picnic
luncheon served en- route; and they've
lots of other jolly outings to tell
about.
Through the summer most or the or
ganization's festivities have been
staged" out OF doors. both because il
was pleasanter and because as yet the
club has no permanent quarters. How
ever. an effort Is being made to es-
tablish club rooms which will be open
for members every day and where
dances and other entertainments can
be given. The Ohio Girls Club was or
ganized last winter under the auspices
OF the wives OF members Of the Ohio
delegation in Congress, who gave a re-
ception at Congress Hall in honor Of

SURGEONS DEPEND ON NURSES,
 NURSES LOOK TO Y. W. C. 4.

Paris, France.-When the tide of wounded flows in, surgeons work at lightning speed, with such trained assistants that an outstretched hand receives the proper instrument, asep. ric, and ready for instant use. The American doctors prefer American nurses for this work. and American wounded are almost miraculously improved by the presence of nurses from their own home country.
 When the endless procession of wounded comes in, not infrequently these nurses have worked as long as seventeen hours among the tor. tured men. When they go of duty, the problem of the Young Womens Christian Association secretary is their physical and spiritual restora- tion, that they may continue their work for the men rather than be- come themselves objects of medical care.
 Our secretaries labor indefatig- ably to bring touch of friendliness to the nurses" says Miss Ethel c. Scribner, formerly secretary of the Association at the University of Col orado, now wearing the Blue Tri- angle in Paris. Our efforts to keep them fit for their work ranges all u,e way from furnishing glass of iced lemonade to washing their clothes and darning their hose. Sec retaries and nurses alike are work. inG under high pressure but sweet. ness and unselflshness abounds."

REPORT THAT ENTENTE
ASKS FOR EXPLANATION
News Comes Via Berlin That Trot-
zky Has Three Days in Which To
Explain Threat.

London. Aug. 15.-It is reported
from Moscow by way Of Berlin that
the diplomatic representatives of the
entente have handed collective
note to War Minister Trotzky de-
manding within three days an en-
planation of Premier Lenine's threat
that Russia would declare war
against Anglo-French imperial
ISM the Central News states.
ut was reported on Monday that
Premier Lenine and War Minister
Trotzky, Of the Bolshevik govern
ment, had fled from Moscow to the
naval stronghold of Kronstadt, and
that the Boishevik government as a
whole, would follow them there.
Owing to the difficulties of COM
munication with Russia, it seems
probable that the above dispatch has
been delayed in transmission and re-
fers to an event OF several days ago.
Lenine's declaration was made prior
to August 9 when American Consul
Poole, at Moscow, informed the state
department at Washington that Le-

CREWS OF TWO SHIPS
. lost OFF THE BANKS
Old Time, Sennett and Cruiser Were
Sunk by Gun Fire From a u
~ Boat Without Warming.

PQston. Aug. 1.-two submarines
rsidsd the fishing fleet on Georges
BaRks Saturday and the crews of the
1 1shing schooners Old Time and

out warning according to the crew Of
the fishing schooner Mary Sennett
who were landed here The SEN
nett was also sunk by gunfre and
shells were fired at the boats when
they were putting away, the fisher
men said.
The Sennett, Old Time and Cruis-
er were fishing in the neighborhood
when the Sennett's lookout noticed
two submaghes several miles away.
AS the Underwater boats apparently
!, were paying no attention to the fish
erpen at the time, the Sennetts
fcrew. continued fishing after putting
cyater and provisions in the boats as
a precautionary measure.
- AS they kept an. eye on the strang-
ers, thinking they might be Ameri-
can boats. one of the submarines
submerged and the other took a cir
~cle around the little group OF three
fishermen. The first intimation the
fishermen had that the submarines
were hostile was when shell sud
denly crashed into the side Of theI
Old Time. She heeled over and
sank an uuicklv that the Senpeft'a al
crew were certain the men could not
have escaped. At any rate they saw
nothing of them.

peared when o. shell dropped along
