Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-01-02

In the summer of 1916, when our
troops were temporarily mobilised ON
the Mexican Border, I was sent down.

ment. to study the conditions which
were surrounding the troops. I re-
member standing In the streets Of
columbus very shortly after villa
devastated that village, and watching
the soldiers 40 they came across the
railroad tracks. Five thousand Of our
men were In camps there. There was
absolutely nothing In town that could
In any way amuSe them. There were
no moving picture shows: no places
where they could write letters: NO
athletic equipment for their use: NO
library facilities Of any kind; NO
homes to which they could go-abeo-
lutely nothing offered to the soldiers
In the way Of clean entertainment.
Just after war was declared last
April. the President. and the Secre-

keenly In mind. asked me to assume

Besides the chairman. the members

to see that the inside Of the sixty odd

UNEARTH THREE MORE
 BOMBS IN JEROME

JEROME, Oct. 12. - Three more dynamite! bombs were found last night near the old Daisy shaft and, from their appearance, it is evident that they were placed prior to the disturbance of cour+e of weeks ago and have been lying in the weather ever since.
 Two of them are small and light, evidently continuing about a stick and a half of dynamite each and a quan- tity Of nails and other light scrap. The third is large and heavy and IS judged by the officers to contain not l4ss than three sticks of powder and a quantity of bolt heads and other heavy missiles. All are double fused and capable of doing great execution if exploded in a crowd.

PITS AND NUT SHELLS IN
 DEMAND NOW
RED CROSS PLACED IN CHARGE OF WORK OF GATHERING MATERIAL FROM WHICH CARBON FOR MASKS IS MADE.

Mrs. George Ruffner, chairman of the Salvage Committee of the Yava- pal County Chapter of the American Red Cross has received an order from the national headquarters of the Red Cross to start the collection of fruit pits and nut shells. A nationwide campaign for the collection of cer- tain fruit stones, fruit pits and nut shells must be vigorously carried on immediately. These materials are urgently needed to make certain car bon which IS to protect our men overseas from German poison gas. Every organization and individual i'll the country is expected to cooperate and take part in this vitally import ant campaign, but the Red Cross is to be the principal agent of the gov ernment in connection herewith. The materials to be collected are as fol- lows: peach stones or seeds, apricot, prune. plum and olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, (except from cherries imported from Italy), brazil nut shells, walnut shells, English or nat i've, hickorynut shells and butternut shells. It is not necessary to separate the various materials listed above They may be mixed together indis- criminately. Any of these materials. if sound, no matter how old, will be accepted. Care must be taken how ever to exclude all materials not list ed. The field has been studied care fully by government chemists and no materials outside of the above list are desired. Almond shells or peanut shells are not wanted. Cocoanut shells are wanted, but if they are shipped they must be kept separate from the other materials and must be separately invoiced.
 Mrs. Ruffner will have receptacles placed about the city where these materials may be placed. The head quarters will be established in the lower section of the Odd Fellows hall and here receptacles will be plac- ed likewise. Two hundred peach stones will produce carbon sufficient to protect one soldier from German gas and seven pounds of nut shells will do the same. No quantity is too small. The government wants every available pound of material.
