DICKINSON is 37TH IN
THE w. S. S. CAMPAIGN NOW

The report OF the War Saving
Stamp committee shows that Dick
inson is 18th in the counties of the
state with per capita Of SIS and had
on June l bought $109,277 of
stamps. Marshall county is first
with $16.07 and Stevens lowest with
IA cents. Seven counties have
bought more than $40 for every
resident.
Friday, June 2S, is War Savings
stamp and Baby Bond Day. 1t has
been designated by the United States
government as the day for nation
wide subscription
During the past winter the gov
eminent directed the schools to
urge the sale of Saving Stamps and
Baby Bonds, and is continuing this
connection by placing the campaign
this week in charge of the Board OF
Education of this city The Board
accepts the duty with which 1t is
thus charged, and is preparing an
organization similar to that used in
the Red Cross campaign. Several
committees will care for the down
town or business district, and in adj
dition there will be five other COM
mittees, each headed by member
of the Board of Education to care
for the four wards and the territory
attached to the city for school pur-
poses.
The committees so far organized
are, in part, as follows:
The Thousand Dollar Limit
Club" G.. C. Sterl, chairman. This
club covers the entire county as its
territory. In addition there will be
five committees who will solicit from
ten lists of persons in the business
district with apportioned amounts
running from $40 to 500 per name.
The members of the Board OF
Education are assigned as follows:
II. A. Snider, attached territory; W.
II. Broughton, first ward; r. j
Long, second wa9d; j. A. Tufts
third ward; j. s. Engle, fourth ward

ABILENE LOSES PERMANENT
LABOR BUREAU POSITION

Abilene which was selected as one
of the eight permanent employment
bureaus of Kansas will lose out July
/ and the office here be discontinued
Probably it will be moved to Sal1na.
II pays $500 a year and expenses
and is a big asset to community
covering several counties in its dis
trict and helping all employers to Sc
cure labor. Abilene Loses because OF
the knocking done by certain citi-
zens of the community. H. M.
Cowan worked as head of the bureau
for months at 81 year. Then two
weeks ago the government in It's
new decentralization of labor bureaus
made the office one of the eight In
the state that are to be permanent
and the salary was fixed. AS he is
in the draft and subject to special
call within a few weeks Mr.. CoWan
asked to be relieved, but the depart
ment head urged him to stay until
he was called to service when an
other Abilene man would be selected
if one suitable could be found. SO
he has worked as hard as ever at
the lob and placed hundreds of har-
vest hands in this and adjoining
counties.
But some Abilene citizens seemed
unsatisfied that he should serve the
government this way and complained
and kicked until Mr. Cowan weary
of being nagged sent in his resigna-
ton w. f. Winfrey Of Kansas City
has been sent here to handle the
office. 81 shall stay but few days
and then the office will be closed
here and another, location found,
said he "The department thought
it was helping your city and com
munity but it seems that it is un
satisfactory" 1t is probable thai
salina which is anxious for the loca
tion, will get it-and all because
Abilene did not know good thlns
when it had it.

GERMANS LAMENT
SETBACK IN AMERICA
Crushing Out of Germanism In the Unit
ed States In a Measure Balances Teu-
tonic Military Success, Says
German Newspaper.

Washington, D. c., June l3--In the
crushing out of Germanism in the Unit
ed States the Koelnische Volkszeitung
sees a disaster in measure balancing
the Teutonic military successes. An Off
cial despatch quoted from the koelnische
Woke Zeitung says:
''Mr. Wilson hopes to succeed in crush
ing the German elements. He will sue
coed. The German press is already near
ly crushed out of existence in America
The greater OF the German schools are
closed. The German associations are re-
quired TO strip themselves of all vestiges
of Germany. 1t Ia a complete debacle.
1T is unnecessary to be pessimistic to
realize that the consequences of our Eu-
ropean successes are in a measure bal
anced by the sum of losses we have suf-
fered in America. All this could have
been foreseen."
After the war, Germans will no longer
be able to enter America. The Hamburg
American and North German Lloyd lines
are entered in the black book. Shipbuid-
ing yards and offices have been sold with
the prohibition of reselling to Germany
after the war.

General Staff Calls for More
Troops from Russian
Territory
ONLY SMALL GUARDS
TO BE LEFT THERE
Message from Gen. Falken-
hayn Intercepted in
Russia

London, June l3.-Germapy is about
to withdraw the bulk of her troops now
IN Russia for service on the western
front, according TO a statement in Max
i'm Gorky's newspaper, the Petrograd
Novaia Zhizn, quoted by the Daily News
correspondent at Stockholm. The Novaia
Zhizn claims to give the text of dis
patch sent by General Falkenhayn from
the German general staff which, it says
was intercepted, in which Falkenhsyn
declares that the battles on the western
front are critical and decisive, but that
in order to insure definite victory and
end the war the troops will be necessary.
In view of the fact that our troops
on the Russian and Ukraine fronts have
attained their objects" the dispatch
adds, and are now resting, the emperor
has instructed the general staff to take
measures for the transportation to
France of many of the German forces in
White Russia, Ukraine and great Russia,
leaving there only small detachments
necessary to maintain order"
The transportation, according to the
quoted message, was TO be effected with.
n seven days.

TOLD BY LETTERS
Spirit of Revolt is Beginning to Become
More Manifest as Poor People
Suffer and Rich Hoard

London, June l3--(British Admiralty
per Wireless Pressi Private letters
from Germany, which have come into al
lied hands indicate the heavy weight
which the war has imposed upon the
poor in that country. Anxiety for peace
finds frequent expressions, as well as
anger with the military element in the
nation.
I'VE hope that peace will come soon,"

war lasts much longer, then the people
here will make peace. Twice already
there have been small riots, but when
the third comes ii won't go well with
the rich people. For the poor there is
SO little food that they can hardly live.
while the rich people have stores laid
up for years. Poor people are only fit
TO be shot. The men in the field suffer
for the rich and we have to go hungry"
Along the same lines a man from
central Germany wrote the following:
IF the rich had nothing to eat as we
poor have, the war would soon come TO
an end"
Many of the letters return again and
again to attacks on the militarists and
the junkers of Germany, who are held
for the continuation of the
war and the consequent misery of the
people.

American Troops

Paris, June l3.-0n the anniversary o.
the arrival in France of the first Amer

sion of the admiration of France for the

lantry and bravery.
In his message President Poincare
said:
"The allies, owing to the Russian ca
pitulation, are living through the difficult
hours of the war; but the rapid forma-
tion of new American units and the un-
interrupted increase in oversee transpor-
tation are leading us with certainty to-
wards the day when the equilibrium is
restored"
President Poincare also sent message
to General Pershing, prsising "the gal
liant troops of your command who be-
have so magnificently in the recent bat
ties" The president expresses the firm
ss hope in the continuation Of the Amer
lean successes.
