Join the Home Guards.

The little body of men that
you see now and then drilling
on the streets is known ns the
Home Guards. 1t is an organ
ization fostered by the govern
ment to protect the home com.
munities while the National
Guards and the Regular Army
are out of the country. Almost
every town of any size in the
Y. S is organizing aud drilling
a company of home Guards.
Does Holyoke want to be the
last town in the Union to per-
feet such company OF course
not. Well then there are sew
eral things necessary to attain
the desired end. First there
must be enough men to make
II company. Every able bod
led man in Holvokc and vicini.
ty should offer himself for ac-
ceptance in the Guard. Don't
offer that old excuse that you
are too busy. Take time as
those men who are now drill
ing. y great many Of you seem
To have time to stand on the
streets and criticise us. Second
we must have uniforms and
guns According to the plan
each membertmust pay for his
own uniform and then the gov
ernment will furnish him with
an army rifle. The third thing
necessary is an enthusiastic
body o! citizens back of the
movement.

All Spain in Grasp
Of Epidemic of Grin
King Alfonso One Of $4,000
Ill in Madrid; Public
Services Curtailed

MADRID, May Virtually all Of
Spain is in The grasp of grip epidemic,
which is spreading with great virulence.
The epidemic began lightly, but already
has claimed many victims. The public
services are exceedingly limited as
multitude of the employees are i'll, some
commercial houses are closed for lack
Of help, while the tramways have cut
down their cars by two-thirds for the
same reason.
King Alfonso is believed to be suf-
fering from a mild form Of the dis
ease, and the Foreign Minister, Eduardo
Dato. and the Minister of Public In
struction, the Duke of Alsa, also are
ill.
In Madrid there are more than 10000
persons on the sick list. Barcelona,
Zaragosba and other provinces are
badly afflicted The malady extends to
the Canary Islands. Several regiments
are almost entirely on the sick roll
and the military authorities have sus-
pended all manoeuvres. Several the
atres have closed their doors.
The political situation is calm.

Doctors Tells of Needs
Antoinette D'Artagnan Saves
Hundreds After Being Left
For Dead by Foe

More than two hundred business
women connected with women's ap-
pare1 industries, from salesgirls to
manufacturers, organized last night to
support unit of the Women's Over
seas Hospital in France. The meet
ing, which was held in the Bush Ter
minal Building, at 142 West Forty-sec-
ond Street, was presided over by MRS.
Charles L. Tiffany, treasurer of the
Women's Overseas Hospital Fund. Al
ready $26,8e4.e2 has been collected by
the new organization for the establish
ment Of corps Of doctors and nurses
for relief work among the women and
children of France.
The great need Of such work was de-
scribcd to the meeting by DR.. An
toinette D'Artagnan, last Of that name,
she declared, in France, but no less a
fighter than the hero Of "The Three
Musketeers."
II was living in my chateau, three
miles from the Belgian boundary. when
the Germans came," she said. 1T was
one of the few moated castles left IN
France, and I ordered the tutler to
draw up the portcullis. 1t must have
been rusty. Anyway, it wouldn't work.
The next thing I remember Is waking
up in hospital with my head all
bandagcd up. The Germans had choked
me and left me for dead, but my old
coachman rescued me.
"I work among the soldiers then,
driving an ambulance, being surgeon,
cook and nurse, all in one. Then ] was
overcome by poison gas, and for eleven
months I could not speak. So l was
sent to Bermuda. Now l am going
back to work with the American women
doctors in France.
"There are thousands of women like
me in France, whose homes are gone.
Ny chateau, even il it were vacated by
the Germans, would be a crumbling
wreck shall never go back to 1t, Tor
I have no money with which to restore
it. have lost eighty-six relatives in
this war; everybody is gone. We
lives to helping the little starved chill
dren and women of our country, if only
you rich Americans. will come and pro-
vide the places and the doctors to di-
rect US. Just give US roof over our
heads"
DR.. D'Artagan was subjected to a
volley of questions after her speech.
Her appearance in khaki trousers and
knee length coat, decorated with four
medals, had to be explained in de-
tail for the interested salesgirls.
II believe the fighting part Of this
war will be over by November of this
year." she added, "but the American
women will have great work to do
after the war before France and Bel
gium will be we'll and happy again"

Long-Range Shelling
OF Paris Continues

PARIS, May 2S.-The long-range
bombardment OF Paris by the Germans
was resumed this morning.
Three persons were killed and four
teen injured in yesterdays lombard
ment. One she'll burst in a crowded
street in front of tramway station.
Three women were getting into a car.
One was killed and the others injured.
Several persons within the car, one a
child, were injured
An official explanation was issued
last night by the French government
as to why 1T cannot make public more
than the scantiest details regarding the
regions suffering from the long range
bombardment.
"ln its daily. communicates" says the
statement, "tfe government keeps the
public absolutely up-to-date on mill
tary operations and their DEVELOPMENT.
AS to the bombardment of the Paris
districts, this cannot be done.
Though it is permissible to indicate
the positions where we are in contact
with the enemy, it would be veritable
crime to permit the Germans, by means
OF details furnished by us, to rectify
the least precise of their fire. It is
therefore forbidden to announce thu
points where bombs strike; likewise to
make them known. 1t is in the interest
of the population itself that this good
sense measure is taken"

no intention at present of making any
statement regarding affairs in Ireland
Parliament had reassembled after a

Nationalists Missing
Irish Nationalist members have NOT
returned to London and. it Is under
stood, they will not appear at West
minister until after an important party
meeting at Dublin on Thursday, when
the question of the date for their re-
turn will be discussed. But in their
absence certain Liberal members have
decided to question the government
their desire being to ascertain espe-
clally whether the government purposed
to bring the prisoners to trial and
whether any evidence of the plot would
be divulged
During the week end the government
issued a call to it's supporters, indicat
ing the expectation Of a motion for ar
adjournment of the House of Com
mons to discuss the entire matter, ans
1t was taken for granted that Edward
Short, Chief Secretary for Ireland
would make statement.
Interest also was manifested in the
question of initiating negotiations fol
an. exchange of British and German
prisoners of war. Notices have beer
given in both houses of intention tt
ask the government to amplify thei1
bare announcement of last Friday, an.
the pulk OF the members are prepared
to support demand that an agreement
be made on the lines of those conclud
ed by France and Italy.

said Bonar Law. He added that thu
banks had agreed to invest in wal
bonds the dividends they receive fron
all government stocks within the com

toners in making advances agains

to invest directly in the war loan in

Urges u. S. to Tell
Truth to Allies to
Uphold Morale
Arthur L. Gleason Declares
We Must Counteract
Peace Propaganda

Arthur L. Gleason, just back from
France-and tori edoed on the way
told Yale and Princeton alumni at
joint meeting in the Yale Club last
night that the war must have ended
"by negotiation" this summer had it
not been for Americas entry
eve must act to counteract the in
fluence of the peace propagandists in
the Allied nations-the tired Tories
and what I might Term the Bolsheviki,
the revolutionaries," he counselled.
eve should send men like President
Hadley of Yale and President Hibben
of Princeton to England to convince the
people, particularly in the munitions
making sections, what the participa-
tion Of the United States really means.
The Tories, as evidenced by Lord Lans-
downe's attitude, are turning toward
peace by negotiation. They would as
as by labor, and they see in the con-
tinuance of the war a certain breaking
down of the old order.
eve should spread the truth in Eng
land and France. No more hot air must
be sent over. Too much has drifted
overseas before, and the result has
been disillusionment for those who had
been led to expect too much OF US too
quickly. On the other hand, we should
not send over any more of those more
recent stories describing how COM
pletely we have failed. The truth
the story of what we have done and
the promise that we are going to fight
through to victory with men and re-
sources-will suffice to correct such
wrong impressions as have been
formed.
"At the same time we must keep re-
iterating our reasons for going to war
in order to keep the morale Of our
troops at the highest level, and to es-
tablish spiritual community between
them and our allies we must interpret
France and England and their soldiers
to them"
President John Grier Hibben of
Princeton, said his only concern was
for the morle of the nation itself.
"If our troops know our hearts and
souls are with them they'll stick un-
til the hour of victory" he said.
Others who spoke on the general sub
ject. "Maintaing the morale of our
overseas forces" were Anson Phelps
Stokes, secretary of Yale University,
and Ivy Lee. Mr.. Stokes dealt with
the work of the Y M. c. A., the
American University Union and the
Army Educational Commission.
