attendance. Most of the prospective
bidders were from Germany and AUS
tria there were few others from all

"Copperheads were in attendance from

auctioneer asking for bids on pack

Bill Hohenzollern could put this to as
much use as Saton himself. The anc-
ton was a big success, all the ola
bosss valuable stock in trade such as
vanity, poverty, gossip. drunkenness,
vice. etc, selling at big prices. AS the
last article was sold the auctioneer
looking around for something else to
sell, spied large sized case in an out
of the way corner. told the helpers to
bring it forward to be bid upon. The
devil arose and in wrathful tones COM
manded them to leave the box alone as
it was his most cherished possession
and not for sale. This caused so much
comment that the old boy was forced
to state that ne retained this, because
he might again wish to engage in the
hell business and with the contents OF
this box he could again start in busl-
ness and secure for his own again
everything that had been sold at this
auction. Asked what the case con-

They don't simply "go across" They have to fight their way across, to land the men who will fight clear through to Berlin.
 They are seldom mentioned in news paper war headings these sailor boys of ours but they are performing day by day and hour by hour, service without which the war could not be won.
 Millions of dollars must be spent each month to keep that service up; hundreds of new ships now on the ways must be manned and fitted out.

 The papers also condemn the man. agement of the case by the presiding judge whom they charge with permit ting irrevelant islanders against public men to be introduced, with no chance given to them for defense.

 Neither in public patriotism nor in private morals has England cause to fear comparison with any country in the world"

WAY IS FOUND TO
 SEND MONEY TO
 PRISONERS OF WAR

According to an announcement ap- bearing in the Washington Post of re- cent date a way has been found where ty money can be sent to prisoners held by the central powers through the Red Cross. All money orders should be sent with the name of the prisoner and the name and location of the prison if known, to the bureau of prison relief of the American Red Cross, Washington, D. c. The money will be forwarded by this bureau to Germany. Postmasters are authoriz. ed to accept applications on which reg ular domestic fees will be charged.
 Money orders for prisoners held by the allies should be made out on inter- national form and marked "Payee a prisoner of war" This order will be sent without charge to the exchange officer and will be forwarded by him to France.
 The necessity of sending only new magazines to soldiers is again being emphacized by the postal authorities. Magazines that are old are of no in. terest to soldiers and only clutter up the already congested mails.
