IN RECENT DRIVE
EVERY HUN IN ONE
UNIT WAS KILLED

Liverpool, May 20.-How every man
of a German company lost his life in
an attack on the Armentieres front is
told in a letter from a Liverpool Of
ficer to his local newspaper.
THE fiercest fight we had he
writes, was when the enemy massed
troops with the object of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was
made in open country, where we were
able to mass a number of battalions
against him, and the fighting was very
fierce.
"Our Liverpool battalion had the
post of honor. When the Germans
started to throw their troops against
us we poured into their ranks a very
heavy fire nd did terrific execution.
Immediately in front of US. a Ger
man company got caught between
our fire and that of another English
regiment. with the result that they
could neither advance nor go back.
They kept on trying to reach our
square, but were shot down one by
one until only six of them remained.
These six threw down their rifles and
signified that they wished to surren-
der. But. the were seen by a German
officers near by. who gave an order
to his men, and the six were shot
down by their own comrades before
they could reach u.s.

PITY THE BRIDE
NOW!-NO RICE
NOR OLD SHOES!

Columbia, Mo, May 20.-The jolly
little fun-makers who have oeen in
the habit Of casting rice and old shoes
at departing brides and bride grooms
will have to find some other way to
speed the parting June brides; for the
food administration has called atten-
ton to this wasteful practice and has
frowned upon 1t as being unpatriotic
Rice is too precious to waste. Every
grain is needed for human food, it is
pointed out, and it will go far toward
making up for lack of wheat in the
diet. When it is heaved at bridal
parties at church doors, cailroad
stations and hotels it is a total loss
Tying old shoes on the backs of the
taxicabs and throwing them after the
wedding parties. also, should be ADAM
doned in the interest of conservation.
the food administration believes. II
you have any old shoes you don't
want, give them to the Red Cross to
be sent to the Belgians and the suf-
ferers in France.
Prospective June brides, also, ara
minded to make their wedding feasts
strictly patriotic. They should use no
frosting because of the amount Of
sugar required.

NO LIMIT ON WAR
President In Red Cross Address
Says One Aim Is Victory.
Every Man, Every Ship, Every
Resource, if Necessary.

New York, May 20.-President Will
son, in opening the Red Cross drive
for a second s1o0.000,0o0 war fund.
announced the purpose of the Unite i
States to set no limits on its effort to
win the war.
81 have heard gentlemen recently
say" said he, that we must get
5000, 900 men ready. Why limit it to
100000? I have asked congress to
name no limit because congress in
tends. am sure, as we all intend, that
every ship that can carry men or sup
plies shall go laden upon every voyage
and with every man and every supply
she can carry"
The United States, the president
said. will not be diverted from its pur-
pose by insincere approaches on the
subject of peace
Germany's Purpose Clear.
1T can say with a clear conscience"
he said, that 1 have tested those in
tentions and have found them insin-
cere. / now recognize them for what
they are, an opportunity to have free
hand in the east, to carry out purposes
of conquest and exploitation. Every
proposal with regard to accommoda-
ton in the west, involves reservation
with regard to the east. l intend to
stand by Russia as well as France"
The statement brought the house 90
it's feet cheering.
German rulers, the president de-
clared, are mistaken if they think the
United States will sacrifice anybody
for it's own sake.
A War to Save World.
IF they wish peace let them come
forward and lay their terms on the
table. We have. laid ours and they
know what they are" he said.
The war, the president declared, is
a war to save the world. The conflict,
he said, will knit the world together.
Dwelling on the duty of Americans
to give to the Red Cross. the president
declared no man could afford to make
money out of the war.
The president was preceded by
Henry P. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross, who spoke of the work of
the organization. Mr.. Dawson re-
ferred to the president as the leading
figure of the world.

leniency with which they were treated
after the last Dublin outbreak.
THE Nationalist could have made
Ireland one happy and self-governed
country long ago had they nerve and
sense enough to embrace their full
duty on the side of the allies and re-
pudiate the Sim Fein.
Dillon Plea Untrue.
I'VE hope President Wilson and the
people of the United States will not be
misled by John Dillon's manifesto.
We hope that they will set themselves
fully to understand what the British
policy in Ireland really is. 1t is a
plain thing and an honest thing and is
the only thing compatible, on the one
side, with the war interests of the al
lies. while on the other side. tending
steadily to reconcile two breeds and
creeds. Without that ireland, in vast
ing and barren agitation, will plunge
from one unsettlement to another and
there will be no health in her.
The policy of the Lloyd George gov
eminent is three-fold. 1t is, first, to
restore the normal order of the civil
lied society; second, to apply gradu-
ally equal military service, as In Eng
land, Scotland and Wales; third. to
bring in the home rule bill.
Will Not Help War.
What is John DiIlon's own position
and what is behind his manifesto to
America? He is. of course, nominally
for the war. but he will not lift an ef-
fective finger to help it. He and his
fellows Internationally resist the prin-
ciple of CONSUMPTION, tho that is mat
ter of federal policy as unquestionab bly,
within the sole competence of the i'm
perial parliament on this side of the
Atlantic as is that of congress on the
other side.
Can the president and the people
of the United States imagine any sit
uation in which any body of Ameri-
cans in a crisis like this would refuse

at this time. Alfalfa cutters out over

but they will not complain.
The temperature tonight will guar

In all probabilities the thermometer
will go down to SIS. Tomorrow the
mercury will not go above Is or So

The official forecast reads: Unset

The temperature Sunday went to
