The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1918-05-15
slOO,0O0,OOO RED CROSS
CAMPAIGN OPENS NAY 70
Nevadia's Quota $75, 900 and Church,
Ill County Must Raise $2,5OO
During the Week

President Wilson has designated
the week beginning next Monday,
May goth. as Red Cross Week, dur
ing which the public will be appealed
to for another hundred million In
contributions.
Nevada's quota of this sum is
placed at $4,000 and Churchill
County is expected to raise $2,500.
Judging by the ready response that
has met similar appeals to our peo-
pie in the past there should be no
difficulty in meeting the demand.
However, it will require active work
and every person in the county must
feel that they are derelict In thir du-
ty II they fail either to contribute
or to assist in the work of organiz-
ing the drive.
The ground work of the campaign
has already been laid, inasmuch as
everyone is aware of the humanitar-
ian labors of this great organization
and the necessity of maintaining II
until the close of the war. We all
know now that every cent that is
contributed goes directly to the re-
lief of the thousands of helpless.
homeless widows and orphans of
poor bleeding France. to say nothing
of the work of mercy performed by
the nurses in the hospital wards up
to the very firing line along the hun
dreds of miles of battle front.
The question Is often asked by
many unthinking people: Why does
not the government undertake this
work and supply the funds by direct
taxation?" The answer is because
II can be done better and more eff.
fectiyely by the Red Cross organiza-
ton which enlists the services of
women and men who could not be
drafted in any other way. But It
should also be remembered that the
government Is not unmindful of the
work of the Red Cross. The organ
ization is strictly a military auxiliary
albeit under civilian management.
and as such is subject to the closest
scrutiny in all its work and in the
expenditure of funds. Indeed. the
President of the United Ststes Is the
official head of the organization as
well as commander-in- chief of the
army and navy.
There are three outstanding war
activities to which the American peo-
pie are committed In the order of
their importance they are: Purchas-
ing Liberty Bonds and contributions
to the Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A..
The least We can do Is to assist
With our money in binding up the
wounds of those who are bearing the
brunt of the conflict, suffering the
diseomforts and privations and Offer
ing up their very lives in a cause
that is none the less ours than theirs.
We have set high standard for our
boys 'over there" and unless we at
home measure up proportionately by
giving until it means a real genuine
sacrifice we will have fallen far short
of what we expect of them.
Be prepared to go to the limit with
your purse as our soldier boys are
prepared to go to the limit with
their lives if need be.

BOYS ARE URGED TO

Brewster Adams of Reno, federal
state director for the Boys Working
Reserve. has written letter to J. G..
Thompson. enrolling officer in Gold

More Stamina
han the Giants
By A. G. Cavagnaro

The l42d anniversary of the Battle of
Long Island was fttingly celebrated at
Ebbets Field yesterday when the
Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the New
York Giants in farcical game by
score OF to 7. The Flatbush Fusileers
put over the tieing and winning run in
the ninth inning.
According TO Colonel Ebbets, it was
the last game to be played on Ebbets
Field until the termination Of the war.
Prior to the beginning of hostilities the
Armed Guard Band, from the Navy
Yard, played Taps" with the colonel
standing at attention. When the game
was over the band played the "Star-
Spangled Banner" as two naval officers
slowly lowered Old Glory from the pole
in centre field All hands then waited
TO watch the 1000 Armed Guard sailors
and soldiers from the city barracks pa
rade across the field.
With his baseball worries over.
Colonel Ebbets has attached himself TO
more war work in addition to his duties
as Four Minute Man C. Hercules
has been designated chairman OF the
Factory Committee of Brooklyn by the
War Department.
The game was a real slugging fest,
the Dodgers collecting sixteen safeties
and the Giants one dozen. Hits were
few during the early innings, but the
tail end of the contest found safe blows
being struck with rapidity. Causey.
Steele and Perritt each took a turn in
attempting to curb the rampant Dodger
hatters, but without success. Burleigh
Grimes went "all the way" for Brook
lyn.

Browns Defeat
Yanks as Fans

Giants Home To-day
BY Charles A. Tavlor

oh. sleep. It is gentle thing be-
loved from pole to Polo Grounds. Six
hundred fans slept peacefully yester-
day afternoon while the St. Louis
Browns defeated the Yankees in the
last game of the season between the
two teams by 8 score of to 2.
The fact that Huggins early in the
year traded five of his Yanks for two
Browns. one of whom he Gagged. has
Riade the clashes of 1918 between the
two aggregations of some interest de-
spite the general drowsiness pervading
the national pastime. For the edifca-
tlon of those who have followed the
bitter struggles ( y it seems fitting to
announce that the Yanks and the
Browns have met twenty-one times
this year, and that each team has
scored ten victories. One game re-
suited in a tie.
The faithful few who are watching
the dying gasps of baseball when they
are not Rip Van Winkling, and who
were present al the encounter of yes
terday, were aroused from their slum-
bers in the third inning when Sanders.
the Yankee pitcher, walked the first
three Browns to face him. Leslie Nuna-
maker. once a Yank, obligingly famed.
but one Johns. who was playing in
some such place as Oshkosh before
the war, singled over Pratt's head and
tailed the first two strollers Tobin
and Maisel. Sisler crossed the plate
while Pratt was tossing out Gedeon
The Yankees made their first hit and
their first run off Dave Davenport in
the fifth. Fourner beat bunt. went
to third on Hyatt's double to left. which
Tobin misjudged, and scored on Peck's
single to centre. The Hugmen scored
their last run in the seventh on
double by Pratt and a single by
Fournier
The Browns added wholly unneces-
sary tally TO their total in the eighth.
Cedeon walked, but Gilhooley nabbed
Austin's line drive. SEVERED fouled to
Hannah. Davenport strolled, and
Tobin, with his third hit of the after
noon. scored Gedeon.

OND ONLY TO BRITISH.
SECOND ONLY TO ENGLAND
Stars and Stripes Now Over 10000, 900
Tonnage and Growing Rapidly
Build More in One Month Than
in Whole Previous Year.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The steady
growth of the American merchant mar
inc in all classes of vessels was re-
vealed today for the first time since
the war began in statistics from the
department of commerce, showing that
in the first five months of this year
there have been built in this country
and officially numbered by the bureau
of navigation a total of 629 vessels Of
6S7,055 gross tons.
The merchant fleet of the United
States now amounts to approximately
100000 gross tons, not including
merchant craft under control of the
army and navy as transports and sup
ply ships. At the beginning of Janu-
airy, 26,742 merchant vessels of 9,343,-
224 gross tons were flying the Stars
and Stripes ntrips across the Allan
tic with food and munitions, into the
caribbean and Pacific with American
products for foreign countries and on
the lakes and rivers of this country
as part of the nations domestic trans
portation system.
This tremendous fleet is second only
to the merchant tonnage of Great Brit
ain. includes all the new vessels
built under the direction of the ship
ping board and thousands of other
ships, smaller in individual tonnage,
but greater in aggregate carrying ca
pacity, which play so large part in
commerce and the maintenance of a
favorable balance of trade.
There has been a steady increase in
new ships this year, the May tonnage
being three times as great as the Jan
uary output. In the first month OF
1918 there were 81 ships of 64,795 tons
given official numbers. In February
"a ships, of 117,601 gross tons were
numbered. March saw a notable jump
in the production of small ships, mum
bers being awarded to 1873, the ton
mage being 147,145. The record il
April was 165 ships of 163,O00 tons anC
in May 1876 ships of 194,46 tons.
In a single month this year the
American merchant fleet has seen {
growth almost as great as during tn,
entire first year of the European war
