RAID PREVENTED

WITH THE AMERICANS.-The heavy and accurate artillery fire by our gunners today most effect ually prevented the Germans from raiding the American positions. The Americans were warned of the com- ing raid when the Germans opened a terrific barrage fire, but the fire of the American gunners in reply to the German barrage was so ac- curate and strong that the German infantry didn't dare to leave their shelters to attack.

INTERESTING, NEWSY LETTER
 FROM A FORMER N0MEITE

The las. mail brought in the fol- lowing interesting letter 60 a mem Dor of the Miners Union, from a sonrdough friend.
 Seattle. Dec. 3rd, 1917.
 Dear friend:-As almost ono month hcs passed since tho last boat for this scaCon from Nome ar rived in Seattle, l thought perhaps a few items about Nomeites and their movements will interest you, so I will chronicle a few of the notes which I've recently gathered.
 The "Vic" arrived here November 7th and the Umatilla on tho 9th. Your old friend John F. Donahue and myself were on the wharf when the 'Yic" came in between 2 and and o'clock in the evening" l was not there when tho Umatilla arrived, she came in, in the early hours of the morning just about the time it was necessary for me to beat it to the place where earn the price of my mulligan.
 Among the Nomeites who were on tho dock to meet the "Vic" noticed Miss Carrie Stipek, Sam Swanson of Jess creek, a few members of the Wittenberg family and Frank Jorgenson and wife, as woll ss others who's names I can not now recall Several persons who came out on the "Vic" in formed me that our friend Jack Winters intended to remain ir Nome for the winter, SO I didn't look for him. did not know he was here until Ed (Skookum) Thompson told me Winters came out on the Umatilla. immediately hikcd out on prospecting trip and I located him before I reached bedrock. He was resting cSsy in a Morris chair in the sitting room of the Arlington hotel on First Avenue, he was puffing away at a big havana and he had smile upon his coutcnance which indi- cated he might be the owner of Discovery claim on Little creek.
 Winters and George Wolf the barber roomed together at the Arlington sa long as Wolf remain cd in Seattle. Wolf left here a few days ego bound for Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places, he contemplated mak- ing an extended visit to many of the different States. Winters is all dolled up in a tailor-made suit and he looks like the real mazuma, he

mics much by rot being there, ex- cept to scy that I had heard the second highest official in tho United States make a speech.
 General Green the commanding officer at Camp Lewis, the soldiers Training camp near Tacoma, recent ly issued orders forbidding the soldiers from coming to Seattle, saying that tais city wes over-run with prostitutes, macque3 and gamblers and is not fit place fol soldiers to visit. General Green stated he will not permit the sold iers to come here until the red city cleaned of macques and gamb- lers.
 Mayor Gill says he believes Seat tie is about as clean as ary other city of its cize in the country. My own opi1icn is this. I feel sure there IS less vice here at present than in San Francisco or Los An egles. There are many unfortun- ate women here, a'd the:e are also a number of the Nome brand of cheap, petty larceny, degenerated tin-horn gamblers scattered throughout the city. The police are continuously rounding them up and compelling them to hit the high spot.
 Last week I attended mass meet ing which was called by about fifteen purity organizations, for the purpose of adopting resolutions re- questiag the City Council to i'm peach Mayor Gill and remove him from office. Of course the large sum of money which has ceased to flow into the city since Green put the ban On, has made the purity squad get busy devising ways and meaEs to remove said ban. This sanctimonious bunch planes Gill for the whole thing and they wanted him to immediate ly "Can the Chief of Police, which ho refused to do. But later, Gill consented to remove the Chief, and stated he would appoint any man for Chief of Police, whom General Green would recommend. Tho General did not suggest anyone, but a committee representing the different purity organizations re- commended Lieutencnt Becker, wEo made himself very conspicuous by conducting tho longshore-men' 8 strike for the bosses, be appointed as Chief of Police by Mayor Gill.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-23

Gill surely meet with approval of ths working-class by refusing to consider Becker as a candidate for the office. So the purity squad again got busy and called another mass meeting which was held in the Hippodrome theater, about 5000 people attended. Five men and four women addressed the meeting. The speeches and argu- ments of the men were punk, but the wor.en did fine, they explained some good points which took well with the audience. The Rev. Dr. Mathews of whom we hear so much about, is a frost, especially when it comes to speechmaking. Doctor Brown the Socialist did not do quite as bad as the other men, nevertheless he was a frost just the same. If it had not been for the women tEe meeting would have been a complete failure. About one half Of the audience voted to pass the resolution, the other half kept absolutely quiet. It was very evident to everyone who wG2 at the meeting after the meeting was over that the resolution would not have any effect. The resolution has been presented to the City Council, by committee of 25. But so far tho Council has taking no action in re- gard to it, ard I'll not be surprised if they leave the resolution lay upon the table indefinitely. They have not as yet produced anything which may be considered Sufticien. evidence to ouct tho Mayor. in conclusion on this subject I iesire to say that a frame-up bunch from Nome would have captured such a meeting which passod the resolu- tion, in about threc minutes by the clock. It was the poorest organized meeting i've ever attended.
 A decent room here costs about $3.50 a week with the rei.t stead fly raising on account of the city filling up with men who are finding employment in the various ship building yards. Me! !ls cost from 45 to 60 cents each-averaging broakfa3t, dinner and supper right through.
 Now then for some news items about Nomeites I met.
 Gro be continued tomorrow.

We've been taking in tho sights together, we have visited nearly every show house in the City. We went to see one play with real live actors, but the performance was surely on the blink Have recently seen Q few vaudeville shows but most of the stunts were ancient and punk. My humble opinion is that the Movies are the most interesting of the three different kinds of shows we've frequently visited.
 We heard the famous Socialist writer Charles Edward Russell de liver a speech about a week ago He is touring tHe country as a re- prescltative of president Wilson urging tho people to support the government in the war against Germany.
 Russell speaks in a voice that l consider rather course and unpleas- ant, I was a little surprised as l had conceived the impression from his writings and his pictures that he possessed a fine, pleasant voice But I'll admit he is an excellent speaker, he surely suits me fire, he speaks right straigt ahead. He can intelligently say more in thirty minutes than the ordinary speaker that one hears will say in five hours.
 AS to his argument, i. was Gimp- ly on the bum, the burden of his whole speech was that if Germany won out in this war Democracy would perish from the earth for ever. He frequently exhausted with much bitterness and used the word traitor a number of times, something one does not expect to hear from a person that is as well informed as Russell is. He IS much as said th"t all pers ons wlo were not in favor of war were traitors. He also spoke in the Masonic temple to an audience of about 5000. Winters went to hear Vice President Marshall speak. I at- tended a Union meeting that night, 60 I did not hear his speech. They say he is not much of a speaker, and pre2eEted a very poor argu- ment for digestion. I guess I didn't

York for the national wartime dress
committee, urged a wartime dress
for women, which the committee
had had designed. This dress is
made of dark blue serge, but can be
made of any material, and is now
on general sale.
1.-THE general federation also
adopted the suggested resolutions
of this committee, as follows:
"Whereas the experience of
European countries at war indicates
that the general use of mourning
costume tends to depress the spirit
of population at war, therefore
"'Be it resolved. that the biennial
convention of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs endorse the
general use of a sleeve band instead
of conventional mourning costumes,
this sleeve band to be of black with

Women's Clubs to Help
j School Garden Army.

Every one of the 100000 school
children of the United States should
be given the opportunity to feel
that he has a part in the work of
winning the war;" says Mrs. Mary
X. Sherman, formerly secretary of
the General Federation of Women's
clubs, now serving as assistant di-
rector of the United States school
garden army, in charge of the gar
den army activities of club women.
"One vital service that may be put
within reach of these boys and girls
is the chance to produce food. There
is no other one thing that comes
SO distinctly home to every in
dividual as food, and if every child
is shown that by raising even a lit
tie food that he himself eats he will
be helping to keep the soldiers on
the battle fields from going hungry,
he will see that he has part and
can help in the great world strug-
gle. -.
"Secretary Franklin K. Lane,
Though the Bureau of Education,
has put in operation practical plan
for Nthe mobilization of the school
children of the country for garden
work.
"In the garden the mysteries OF
nature are unfolded. Under SYM
pathetic guidance the childs imagin-
alton is stimulated and his powers
of observation are developed. Trees,
flowers, waving grain field, bird,
mountain and valley will come in
time to have their full meaning to
the boys and girls who are taught
to see natures lessons in their first
garden.
snow is the time to plan for next
summers work. If the fathers and
mothers do their part the children
will do theirs, and the little citizens
of tomorrow win be better equipped
than ever before for the responsible
ties of life, and will be glad and hap
Ply in their ability to give immediate
service"

Needlework Guild Will
Collect Garments for

November E and 7 are the dates
set for the annual meeting and dis
tribution of garments for the Oma-
ha, branch OF the Needlework Guild
of America. The First Christian
church, Twenty-sixth and Harvey
streets is the place chosen for the
collection and for the business meet
ling which will be held Wednesday
morning atl0:30.
Donation of two new garments
for the poor is all that is required
for membership in the Needlework
Guild. ~ ~
1.-THE simplest, easiest, and most
capable charity" is the way local
workers describe the Needlework
Guilds plan of collecting garments.
The president, who is this year Mrs.
M. B. Newman, names a number OF
section presidents. Each of the lat
ter name four directors who in turn
select ten women to work under
them. This provides an efficient
chain system for increasing the
number of garments so contributed.
Instant recognition of the worth
of this charity is attested ny
ready responses to help with the
work. Mrs. Eva Grimes of the
World Herald and Miss Irene Lang

whom appeals were made for
publicity, Immediately offered to

TOR over four years the General
Federation of Women's Clubs
has been trying to promote
the movement for more complete
Standardization of women's street
clothes.
"We believe those who make the
claim that individuality in dress, fire.
quently changing styles, and the de-
votion to mere fashion which have
built enormous industries based on
extravaganza are necessary to the
preservation of either personality or
beauty in>women, are viewing the
sex as ornamental rather than use
full members of society,"" is the ex-
preston of the General Federation
magazine for October. eve protest
this diea. Women adorn homes.
Few of them care to merely orna-
ment them or the world at large,
and they are today much too busy in
homely, practical service of all kinds
to waste time in dressing to attract
attention.
1--WE earnestly believe that wo-
mans personality is enhanced rath-
er than lessened by uniform modes
of dress. 1t is so with men. There
is no reason why it should not be so
with women. Suppose a newspaper
report of a convention of men were
filled with description OF
what they wore in place of what
they did? Does it lessen the per-
sonality of Theodore Roosevelt that
he dresses so like the president Of
the United States and all the men,
bers of congress that the mere on
locker could not recognize him
merely from his attire?
Not Uniform.
Standardization is not a uniform.
1t is principle. The general feder-
alton at no time has been, trying to
promote dress reform. 1t believes
that what has to be reformed is our !
attitude of mind toward dress and
war to a degree is doing this. Yet
it is quite obvious that fashions in
doing war service or in dressing for
them, have come in vogue which
may be- more wasteful of labor and
needed material than clinging to our
old forms of dress.
There is so much to be said on
this subject. To begin with, how
ever, the general federation pre-
scented garment called the 'bien-
NAL dress at the New York conven-
ton, not at all because it was con-
sidered that one form or style weuld |
be acceptable to all women or suit
able to all occasions but because the
dress conforms to certain princi-
Piles which are those upon which we |
believe Standardization to be based. |
These are good straight lines,
suitability. adaptability and dupli-
cation in different fabrics. The dress
can be modified, not merely because
it can be made in cloth, or SILK. or
crepe, ETC., but because the same
slight changes which vary mems |
garments can be utilized in this: the |
lapels, the collar. the length of the
tunic, belt or sash, embroidered or
plain. all vary it without particular
trouble or added expense. 1t is
adapted to. the different figures of |
women becoming to all when the |
