SUPPORTING THE COUNTRY
PAPER

By publishing the many notices
that are being sent by different gov
eminent departments to the country
papers, the publishers are giving the
public information which the govern
ment desires them to receive in the
only possible way it can be given
without putting the government to an
enormous expense The publisher re-
ceives nothing but gratitude from the
government for his services, and that
is all he expects from the govern
ment- But the publisher has a right
to expect the support of his commun-
ity the same as a soldier at the front
expects and deserves it.

president of the United States down

In every drive to sell bonds or
raise funds for war work there is a
great deal of wasted time and effort
and needless expense. Personal SOL
icitation IS expensive and should be
eliminated, If possible, and it can be
if every loyal citizen will do his duty
as volunteer. The committees that
drive over the county to sell bonds
or solicit funds receive no pay for
their time and no money for expense
account. They furnish their own cars
and pay for their gasoline and in
several cases the last two drives car
owners have had large repair bills to
pay to keep their ears going to the
end of the drive. In some cases it
was necessary to buy new tires to re-
place tires blown out during the drive
All this has been done without one
cent of cost to the public 1t is 10
avoid this expense and waste that the
volunteer system has been adopted
for this Throne drive. Be good,
prompt and liberal volunteer and help
the committee to make the system
success.

If every citizen sends in the exact

Why is this drive called the Tin
one drive? Because the funds raised
by this campaign will be used by
seven war work organizations in GER
tain proportions which have been
agreed upon by them. These organ
izations are the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Knights of
Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board,
War Camp Community Service, the
American Library Association and
the Salvation Army. A little more
than half of the fund will be given
to the Y but all these organizations
are worthy of their share. The money
will all be used for the mental, moral
and physical welfare of our boys in
camp and over seas.

The above IN plain American fight
ing language is what Col. Whittlesey,
commanding the now famous lost
battalion replied to a German de-
mand to surrender his command.
His battalion, which is composed of
men from Camp Upton and some from
the far west in the thick Of the
fight became separated from the rest
of the command and were surrounded
by the enemy. The little band of
Yanks held out for -four days against
Ia terrific enemy bombardment and
were finally rescued when their COM
rades came to their aid.
The Germans had blindfolded an
American who had been taken pris-
oner earlier in the fray and dispatched
him to the American lines with a note
asking the heroic little band to sur
render. Col. Whittlesey hesitated but
q second when he gave his reply,
which was seconded by all of his men.

By the Associated Press. -.
: PARIS. November 16.-Conditions in
Brussels Tuesday and Wednesday
were as disturbed as Sunday and Mon
day. owing. to many clashes between
German troops, says the Bruges cor
respondent of Information. In a
fight in which machine guns were
used at the Northern railway station
twenty soldiers were killed.
Automobiles loaded with soldiers
and carrying red flags paraded up
and down the boulevards. Non-com-
missioned officers were forced to hand
over their arms and the marks of
their rank were torn off Officers were
driven from the streets and those
found hiding in private houses were
killed.
The governor and his suite, the cor
respondent adds. are believed to have
escaped but most of the officers at
tached to the staff OF the local COM
mander were assassinated.
The Belgian population took no part
in the disturbances.
Be1gians Reach Assche. -
WITH THE BELGIAN ARMY, No
vember Is (Havas}-The Belgian
forces have reached Assche, six miles
northwest of Brussels. At this town
an instance was recorded of the Ger
mans failing to keep the armistice
engagements which forbade the de-
struction of war material after the
signing of the agreement on Novem-
ber IL. The Germans exploded sew
eral cars loaded with munitions at the
Assche station on Tuesday.
The explosion was SO violent that
four persons were killed and fifty
others injured. The Germans may
claim that the munitions were set off
accidentally, but the burgomaster col
lected evidence showing they were
fired electrically by wires connecting
each car.
