Soldier Dependents Complaints.

There have come a number of
complaints to the undersigned
concerning delinquencies in al
lowance due wives and parents
of our soldier boys who left Full
ton County within the last few
months. To such relatives of the
soldiers, be it said that the addi-
tion of, perhaps, a million men
to the military force Of our coun-
try makes a vast increase of the
clerical work of the War Depart
ment. Instances are not want
ing where allowances, while long
delayed, have come to hand, so,
a little patience, needs be exer-
cised.
Another complaint is, that no
word has come from certain of
the soldier boys for some time.
This delay is probably due to the
fact that part of our new army
of drafted men and volunteers
are now on their way to France.
Several weeks may elapse be-
fore an opportunity will be af-
forded to our army boys to COM
municate with the home land.
Letters to this department of the
Red Cross will receive prompt at
tention. When information is
wanted concerning a soldier, or
information to be forwarded to a
soldier, friends must always give
full address of latest received
letter, thus; Private Samuel

From Wine to Sugar.

Housewives have been limited
to one and two-pound lots in
sugar purchases. This is one of
the many little sacrifices made
necessary by the war.
A press dispatch from the wine
grape region of California incl
dentally throws light on another
source of waste of food stuffs by
the liquor interests and also re-
wells the fact that Prohibition
would not work any hardship on
the grape growers. The an
nouncement is made that the
wine grape men this year are 60
ing to make their grapes into
sugar instead of wine. One ton
of grapes will produce 400 pounds
of sugar. The crop is estimated
at 100000 tons. This will in
crease the sugar supply 160, 000,-
600 pounds, and it is said that the
raw material will cost two and
one.half cents a pound.
The country will rejoice that
the grape men have turned from
wine to sugar.

Red Cross Chain.

A method of arousing interest
and Raising funds for the Red
Cross has been taken up in Nc
Connellsburg which bids fair to
net considerable sum if carried
out.
The plan as adopted, is for
some lady to entertain ten ladies,
for an afternoon or evening.
Each lady entertained is required
to donate fifty cents to the Red
Cross and to obligate herself to
entertain eight; each of the eight,
to entertain six; each of the six,
to entertain four, and each of the
four to entertain two.
Each person so entertained do
mates fifty cents to the Red Cross.
Refreshments served are to be
very light consistingof notmore
than three things.
1t is hoped by this means that
a considerable sum may be raised
for the Red Cross work, and that
interest may be aroused, and sup
port given themovement through
out the County.
Mrs. Leslie W. Seylar will
start the series by entertaining
ten ladies' Thursday afternoon of
this week.

GERS and men were killed or died of
wounds. In the aggregate the cas-
palties are the heaviest reported in
any single week of fighting. 1t is

Considerable political turmoil has

British war office, who recently was
removed from his post and sent to
active duty in the field after he had
made statements which were consid-
cred reflection on General Foch,
commander-in in chief of the allied ar
mics on the western front.
In letter appearing in the London
newspapers General Maurice charged
Andrew Bonar Law. chancellor of the
exchequer, and Premier Lloyd George
with having made misstatements In
the house Of commons regarding mill
tary matters. A special court of in
quiry is to investigate the charges,
which are denied by Chancellor Bonar

the part of the Masonic lodges
throughout the United States to give
relief in a similar manner and that
the grand masters of several states

British Losses During the Past Week
We're 1861 Political Turmoil Has
Arisen in England Over the Charges
Made by General Maurice.

New York, May Still another
day has passed without the Germans
on the western front attempting to
begin new phase of their offensive.
Everywhere along the line there have
been artillery duls, at some points of
considerable intensity and the allied
armies are lying in their positions
waiting with expectancy and also with
perfect confidence the blow that they
realize soon will fall at some point
in Flanders or Picardy.
Nowhere has there been any in
fantry operations which arose In i'm
'portance above raids.
Southwest of Arras, near Nuneville-
Vitasse, the Canadians made a night
raid and carried out a successful strike,
killing a number or Germans, and
capturing there machine guns. The
French in the Amiens sector, were
successful in similar maneuver In
addition they repuised German at
tack.
Doubtless the heavy ground due to
the rains is holding back the prepara :
tions of the Germans for it is nc
easy task to move up men, guns and
supplies over the morass in the shell
furrowed territory to the front. Mean
while the allied line everywhere is
being reinforced to meet the enemy
when again he unleashes his infantry
The Americans are taking a promi-
nent part in this strengthening of the
line. M. Clemenceau, the French pre-
mier, who has just returned to Paris
from a visit to the battlefront, is au

Washington. May Two new in
vestigations of aircraft production are
about to be launched. While Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet were
hearing today Attorney General Greg
ory's plans for the inquiry into
charges of graft and mismanagement
ordered by the president, Chairman
Chamberlain, of the senate military
committee, announced that the com
mittee proposed to reopen its inves-
tigation and put its finger on the
men responsible" for deficiencies in
the aviation program
In the meantime the house military
committee considering the fifteen bill
lion dollar army appropriation bill,
with a billion for aviation virtually
completed a brief aircraft inquiry Of
its own After hearing Secretary
Baker and his chief aides for ayia-
ton, the committeeman were agreed
that the situation did not call for an
investigation by them and leading
members said after the meeting they
we're convinced both that there had
been no criminal liability for delays
and deficiencies in the past and that
the present status of war department
plans was satisfactory.
The attorney general spent an hour
with the president after the cabinet
meeting Later he announced that
Assistant Attorney General William L..
Frielson had been assigned to con-
duct a thorough inquiry with the as
sistance of other lawyers of the de-
partment and special agents of the
bureau of investigation.
One Of the first steps of Mr. Frier-
son will be to examine the report
submitted to the president by Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, and to call upon
Mr. Borglum for evidence to support
his sweeping charges of graft and
pro-German intrigue. Attorney Cen
eral Gregory said today the sculptor
would be given The fullest opportunity
to substantiate his allegations In ad =
dtion to the Borglum report Mr. Frier-
son will have the report of the presi-
dents special committee headed by
H. Snowden Marshall and such infor-
nation as has been developed by the
senate committee.
Apparently the request of Major
General Squire chief signal officer oi
! the army for a army court of inquiry
to establish the truth or falsity Of
! Borglum's accusations against army
! officers still is before President VIII
son Some officers think the presi
dent will decide that the investigation
by the department of justice Is suftl-
cient, but the feeling at the war de-
partment apparently is that charges
having been made reflicting upor
honesty and loyalty of officers, they
have a right to expect a military couf1
trial with them.
Senator Chamberlain announce
ment followed conferences of military
committee members and discussion
of the subject on the floor of the sen
ate. The committee expects to begiI
it's work within a week and probabl'
will delegate it to a Subcommittee
to meet in executive session.
Senator Chamberlain referred Il
the charges that pro-German inful
, ences have inspired criticism of tn
aircraft program and declared sue
charges would not deter any memDe
of the committee from doing his duty
Sensational charges affecting tn
