STAMP CAMP AICN
MAX FINE
SHOWING
HON. CLIFFORD WALKER PROVED
FINE PATRIOTIC SPEAKER.

The War Savings Stamp drive for
Crisp county, shows excellent results
by the patriotic workers who had the
details of the work in hand. Mayor j.
Gordon Jones, Chairman Crisp County
W. S. S. states|that on account of the
rains over the county yesterday the
work was materially retarded, but
that all of the District Chairmans
School Supervisors and their co-work-
ers are continuing their work, by Sc
curing pledges from every che who
are able to save and invest in Savings
Stamps.
Said Mayor jones; 81 wish sincerely
thank each and every co-worker for
the untiring and willing services rem
dered in the work of making such a
fine showing for Crisp colinty.
There have been more than three
thousand pledges turned in to me, re-
presenting between eight and nine
thousand people, this includes the
whites and negroes. Our population
for the county is something like fiji
teen thousands, so the percentage
shows that our people are not slack
ers, and are willing to save and loan
to the Government to the extent of
their ability. Very few refused to
pledge something, every one both
white and black with but few excep-
tons seems to have done their full
part.
81 wish to congratulate the ladies'
and girls Their works was magnifi-
cent, facing rain and sloppy weather
they carrying their work in an ex-
cellent manner. Mr.. w. H. Parrish,
Superintendent of the industrial
plants in the county, made a remark
able showing for the labCring people
at the different plants. You may say
that pledge cards, some for large
amount are still cor ing in, that before
the close Of 1918. Crisp county will in
mp opinion go over the top. | shall
continue my county organization and
keep the work for the Government
going to the extent of cur ability un-
til the end of the year, and | hope
that every one will aid us by securing
pledges and turning them, in that |
may report the work to the Govern
ment regularly. The pleasing part
of the work is that we have more
! ludH tlliCt lHOuSdliu pCOplC a Opl
.ng in all about nine thousand people
who have agreed to open savings &C
counts with the Government. which
means that hereafter we will have a
people who will prosper and grow rich
by savings their earnings in a sys-
:ematic way"
1t is safe to say that the days effort
meant more than s15O,OOO for the War
Stamp campaign.
Hon. Clifford Walker, state attorney
general who happened to be in this
part of the state, delivered a most
inspiring patriotic address. The court
house was well filled and this speaker
contributed wonderfully to the cause

Raids Believed Aimed at Transports

believed to be more serious and
definite attempt to check the flow OF
aand supplies for the Pershing forces In
France, German submarine activities
have been resumed along the American
Atlantic coast striking first in the
neishborhood OF the main line OF troop
ship communications.
The definite presence of submarines.
which was officially suspected when the
nrmored cruiser San Diego was sunk on
Friday morning of the southern coast
of Long Island, was officially disclosed
Sunday when the navy department an
nounced that 1t had been notified by a
Massachusetts coast guard station that
n tug was sighted on fire off the Cape
Cod coast and that three barscs were
shelled by submarine.
y Seven weeks ago. on June .. Official
announcement was made Of the activi-
tics along the coast OF submarines,
which II was soon demonstrated had
been busy off the Virginia coast since
May %. On their previous mission the
German submarines operated until the
middle of June and nothing wQs again

to German bases and have come back

mother vessels to replenish supplies, or
whether new submarines have been
sent for the deprcdat!ons now being
undertaken, is all matter of con-
lecture.

members are scattered in many direc-

stopped. They have not been permitted
to communicate with their London
headquarters since the war started. A
work of mercy which was begun about
fifty years ago is thereby wiped out by
the kaiser.
There are over 100, 900 Salvationists
now in the trenches and bearing arms
for the allies, pursuant to their deter

Menace 10 Renewed.

menace has been renewed, and since at
least two submarines operated before 1t
is strongly suspected In official circles
that the present descent on the rest Is
being conducted by at least a pair OF
submarines. That the submarines were
heading this way was also indicated
when on July Is the Norwegian bark
Maresa was sunk 1900 miles east of
New York, near enough to American
shores for the survivors to be landed in
Nova Scotia. This submarine. or its
mate Is believed to be the one which
showed up on the Cape Cod coast.

coast the German submarines Hid not

On the present return visit OF the sub

much vitality dangerous part Of the
coast, because the point OF Cape Cod
where the tug and barges were attacked
Sunday lies midway between the main
routes over which transports have been
sent from New York and Boston to
French and British ports. It is also
much nearer the Halifax ship routes to
Europe.
