UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
IN LEAVENWORTH

Mr.. L. r. Hart, chairman in the
local drive, gives the following infor-
nation regarding the method of han
ding the local campaign.
On account of the flu, the methods
pursued in the Red Cross and Liberty
bond campaigns could not be followed
in this campaign, altho there is
greater need for personal touch with
the public and public meetings for
the discussion of these topics. How
ever, as people have right to know
where their money is going how it is
being used, and in what manner use
of this money by these organizations
will help to win the war it is right
and proper that they be given state
ments from the heads of these organ
izations showing how they accom-

three days lists of subscribers and
non-scribers will be compiled and
these lists will be turned over to the
local Minute Women who have volun-
teered to call on all non-subscribers
and solicit their subscriptions. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that Leaven-
worth will respond in this campaign
as in the past and go over the top
the first three days with snap and
push that will show our boys that we
are behind them and willing to sup
their every need.
Remember the war is not over for
these organizations until each and
every Yank is returned from foreign
soil and our army reduced to peace
time basis.

of the local board that subscribers

SENATOR POINDEKTER URGES
SUPPORT OF WAR WORK DRIVE
LeavenwOrth Has a Reputation for
Giving Which Must and Will be
Preserved

The following copy of a letter re-
ceived by Mr. VIM. H. Crawford see
rotary of the United War Work Cam
paign, Washington, ID. c., from Sen
ator PoindeXter, endorsing the move
ment, indicates the uniform support
given to this endeavor:
MIR. William H. Crawford
Washington Hotel
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. Crawford:-I have yours
of recent date and take pleasure in
adding my testimony of approval and
commentator of the merit and value
of the United War Work Committee
The idea of combining for mutual OPP
Grafton and assistance the Y. NJ. c.
A., Knights of Columbus, Y. W. C. A.,
Salvation Army, and the other relief
organizations referred to is BASED on
the best common sense and godd judy
ment as tending towards harmony of
action and tn utmost efficiency of this
work for the comfort and protection
of our soldiers.
| know that the authorities of the
army have come to depend upon the
help of these organizations in the
great work of preserving the spirit
and morale, as well as the physical
and moral welfare upon which indeed
the former is based. No nation has
ever given a greater demonstration of
harmonious patriotism, love of coun-
try. and spirit of sacrifice than the
Americans have in this war. The
hearts of our people are with their
fighting soldiers at the front and
their love and gratitude go out to the
organizations which are succoring
them in their time of distress and
need.
Wishing you every success, | re-
main, with kind regards,
Very truly your,
MILES POINDEXTER.

Rain Interferes With Pennant.W Win.

Rain interfered with staging the
first game of the worlds series yes
terday at Chicago, the Chicago Ma
tionals and the Boston Red Sox spent
the day under cover in preparation
for the game today, which, weather
permitting, will inaugurate the last
struggle for the premier baseball
honors to be played during the war.
Fred Mitchell. manager of the
Cubs, and Manager Barrow, of the
Boston Club, kept their players
closely segregated yesterday, working
out problems of defense and attack
preparatory to the opening round of
the battle today. Both leaders ex-
pressed confidence of the outcome.
The only outcropping of news
which enlightened an otherwise dis
NAL, gloomy session of the Hot
Stove. League. lay in the injury to
Dave Shean, the Red Sox second
baseman. who split the middle finger
of his throwing hand during practice
and who, it was said, may not appear
in today's lineup. Jack Coffey was
picked to substitute for Shean. with a
possibility that Fred Thomas, who is
on a furlough from the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station, might be
called into the fray to play third base.

WIZARD EDISON'S
NEWEST INVENTION
Will Locate U-Boats Five Miles
Distant. Delicate Electrical
Device On Chasers
EXPERIMENT HELD IN BAY

Few people hereabouts knew that
the wizard Edison was here a few
weeks ago, to witness the try-out OF
his latest device. an electric appliance
for chasers, to detect the presence of
U-boats five miles distant
Only the operations of the appar-
atus, thus far kept secret. which
Edison has invented for the detec-
tion of submarines have become
known. The device is electrical in
its operations and is fastened to the
rapid U-boat chasers. Through its
intricate machinery the presence of
a submerged U-boat within radius
of five miles of the chaser can be de-
tected. The position of the sub
merged craft can also be detected
with reasonable accuracy. The chaser
must come to a full stop before the
location of the submarine can be de-
tected 1t has not yet been found
feasible to attach the apparatus to
large ships.
Mr. Edison made his first expert
IHeutS With the iutcHtlOH III llc
Chesapeake Bay several weeks ago.
Since then there has been series of
other experiments on land to perfect
the apparatus.
A Baltimore captain yesterday told
of meeting in Philadelphia the cap
tain of an American schooner which
recently was torpedoed off the At
lantic Coast. For eight days he was
kept a prisoner and was treated with
the utmost consideration. One night.
the captain said, the submarine
passed Atlantic City and Cape May
within shelling distance. No shells
were, however, fired. The U-boat cap
tain explained that his orders were
not to destroy American lives, but
to destroy American shipping and
English shipping, especially the lat
ter. The periscope of the Uboat was
sighted one day by chaser, which
fierd several ineffective shots. Sea-
planes later appeared over the scene
and dropped depth bombs. The u
boat was. then four miles away. The
captain of the schooner was greatly
surprised to see copy of New York
newspaper only two days old in the
cabin of the submarine.

OYSTER BUSINESS
AN UPHILL ONE
Outlook Not Encouraging For The
Coming Season. Oysters Scarce
And Inferior

That the oyster business will be an
uphill one the coming season Is at
present the outlook One of the old
est men in the oyster business, in
point of years, said today. there is
nothing encouraging as conditions
are at present.
1t is too early in the season, how
ever. to forecast anything. and at
present matters pertaining to the
business are only being Strengthened
out. 1t will take another month, prac-
tically, for the business to adjust
itself.
The oysters caught so far, are very
small and inferior in every way. This
is attributed to the drouth of the past
summer The bivalves. so far ex-
hibited, appear to be even smaller
than those caught at the beginning of
the oyster season last year.
Shuckers are scarce. Only three
were employed by the firm of the
c. W. Martin Company today, and
four by the McNasby oyster firm at
Eastport. Mr.. Walter Clark, had but
a few shuckers at work today Only
the old men are obtainable for the
business, and the oyster season
promises to be anything but a pros
porous one, judging from existing
conditions.
