and Y. M. c. A. Campaigns.
By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE vi
tai part taken by advertising in devel-
oping Americas prosecution of the
war was noted by President Woodrow
Wilson in telegram received here by
William C. darcy, president of the AS
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World, in convention here. The tele-
gram read:
Permit me to express very genuine
interest in the success Of your great
convention in San Francisco. l realize
how squarely and spontaneously the
advertising men Of the country have
stood behind the war. / want in par
ticular to bean witness 30 the service
advertising has done for the sale of
Liberty Bonds and War Saving
Stamps, and in behalf of subscription
funds for the Red Cross and the Y. NJ.
c. A., not to speak of many other forms
Of service.
1T was with real satisfaction that
created by executive order the govern
ment division of advertising as a part
of the committee on public informa-
ton. The men appointed as members
Of that division are. all members of
your organization, and the work that
has been done has been of far-reach-
ing service and value"

MARINE MASCOT IN BATTLE
Jimmy Went With His Comrades Into

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT

has been through the recent Marine
drive on the Marne and is back in the
Marine billet, unscathed.
When the Devil Dogs" began the
march toward the German lines, jim
my fell right in line. All the coaxing,
threatening and pleading that the pick
of the regiment could do was of no
avail. Jimmy's comrades were going
into trouble-well, then, so was Jimmy.
While the hand-to-hand conflict
ragged between the Marines and the
Germans, Jimmy was here, there. ev-
erywhere, scurrying back and forth,
his eyes pleading to be allowed to aid.
After the battle, the Marines, realiz-
ing that they would never be able to
keep Jimmy out of any more engage
ments, Immediately fashioned a min
iature gas mask and shrapnel helmet
with which the mascot will be armed
the next time he goes forth into the
fray.

WOMEN WATERS IN CLUBS
Successfully Solve Male Help Prob
lem I'm Philadelphia

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, July lin the
invasion of women walters in ex-
elusive clubs here, another male help
problem directly traceable to the war
seems to have been solved. As was
the case in the drafting Of women to
operate elevators, the hiring of wait
resses in clubs patronized almost en-
tirely by men, was first in the nature
Of an experiment. but so well did they
do their work that the step has been
followed by similar organizations.
The Art Club was the pioneer in the
innovation. Then the University Club,
the Union League, and the Engineers
Club filled the shortage of men wait
ers with women. Others contemplate
like move.
That the mattresses are a success,
is vouched for by the steward of one
OF the organizations, who declared
that no complaints have been received
regarding the service. but, to the con-
trary, the members seem highly
pleased with the change.
Although the advent of mattresses
in clubs is purely a war emergency,
they seem destined to remain not only
for the duration OF the conflict but
