WOMEN
TOOK PART IN
RECENT TROUBLE
Were Organized for Anti
CONSUMPTION Campaign
as Never Before.

Dublin, June 15.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-Irish wom-
en were organized for participation in
the anti-conscription campaign in Ire
land as never before in the history Of
political agitation in Ireland.
Much is now heard Of the "wom-
ans Pledge" which was the leading
feature Of the women's side of the
anti-conscription campaign. The
pledge reads as follows:
Because the enforcement Of con
scription on any people without their
consent is tyranny. we are resolved to
resist the CONSUMPTION Of Irishmen.
We will not fill the places of men de-
prived of their work through refus-
ing enforced military service We will
do all in our power to help the fami-
lies Of men who suffer through en-
forced military SERVICE"
The occasion chosen for the uni
versal signing Of this pledge by the
women of ireland was the festival of
st. Columbeille, a national saint much
talked about at the present time on
account Of some war prophecies at
tributed to him. including one in
which he is said to have predicted
CONSUMPTION.
The woman's pledge was part Of a
scheme with which CONSUMPTION was
resisted. Wherever possible, the sign
ing was accompanied by floral demon
stration and organizations taking part
carried wreaths, crosses and other
symbols to decorate the place Of sign
ing. The ceremony also was accom-
panied by pilgrimages and professions
to some place of %veneration such as a
church. holy we'll site Of altar in penal
days, or: some local memorial of ma
tional history.

Home Gamers Should

Commercial Canning

San Francisco. CAL, July 6.-Unless

tain market for their product in view,
they were advised today by the United
States food administration for Cali
fornia not to attempt commercial
canning. There are many difficulties
in the way Of d%isposing of small quaint
tiles of such foodstuffs.
Home canned and preserved goods
cannot be purchased or accepted as
gifts for the army or navy. No gov
eminent department is permitted to
accept any article without paying for
it. Supplies of this kind for the gov
eminent must be uniform both as to
ingredients and containers in order to
simplify inspection and packing.
However, housewives are urged to
can fruits for home use generously as
every additional jar and can filled will
release an identical quantity of COM
mercially canned goods for export to
the soldiers. There will also be saved
the labor, shipping space and cost Of
transportation that would mount up

largely into domestic consumption in
stead of being shipped in large blocka
to army cantonments, camps and
abroad. t
The administration urges house.

DOING BIT TO
AID AMERICA
Many Natives of Far East
Who Escaped from Mexi-
co in U. S. Army.

San Antonio, Tex, July 6.-Natives
of China, refugees from Mexico and
informed prisoners of the United
States, $50 Chinese at Fort Sam,
Houston n Camp Travis are doing
their part to help the allies Of their
country win the war.
When General .Pershing abandoned
his pursuit of Francisco Villa in the
mountains and deserts of western
to the border, the Chinese colony in
that section packed their belongings
onto wagons. carts and burros and
trailed out behind the American Ex-
peditionary Force. They feared Villa
and his bandits would carry out their
threats to kill all Chinese in Mexico
and General Pershing gave them per-
mission to proceed to the border with
his column.
Arriving at Columbus, N. M, the
Chinese were placed in an internment
camp. until arrangements were made
between representatives of the United
States immigration department, the
Chinese government and the tongs to
which the Chinese belong for their
transfer to San Antonio. Here they
posts where they do all classes Of
work for the army and do it we'll.
Many of these Chinese are wealthy,
having owned stores and ranches in
Mexico. They have endowed a bed
in the American hospital at Neuilly,
France, ave what was characterized
as the largest chop sue party ever
held in Texas as a Red eros benefit
subscribed to Red Cross funds. and
many have bought Liberty Bonds and
thrift stamps. Many of the Chinese
have applied for permission to enlist
in the United States army.

Soldiers.

Camp Kearny, San Diego. Cal, July
Corps spirit and morale. officers
declare, show themselves more plain
~ in camp in the field than at any
other time. BY the amusements in
which the men engage and by the at
tention they give the various classes
of amusements available, their morale
is indicated plainly, is the assertion.
The 115th field signal battalion. on
its recent field maneuver to a Die
gito ranch, displayed much interest in
amusements and developed a few IN
usual ones on its OWL account. Leroy
W. Allen, division music director,
started the entertainment one evening
with a cornet solo or two. after which
the men Joined him in singing some
popular songs. AS the singing pro-
ceeded, men who had wandered away
to hunt snakes or wash clothes or dc
any other of the numerous things SOL
diers find to do in the field, began to
return to camp in twos and threes.
P%residently the end of a series of
songs was reached and Mr.. Allen ask
ed the men what they wanted next,
"oh put 'em all on" was the answer,
referring to other series of songs the
words of which the music director
had printed on strips Of canvas
IT don't think this sang has any
pep" said Mr.. Allen, commencing to
play Hail, Hail, the Gangs all Here
on his cornet. The way in which the
men sang the number, he said, on
WINGED him he was mistaken. The men
followed up the song with their "sig-
nal corps YELL" as unintelligible a
