SURGICAL DRESSINGS NOTES

The Quota has arrived. 1t is not
as large as expected, and we have
until November 10th, to get the work
out Mrs. Chappell, chairman, is ill
with lagrippe, and will not be able to
attend to her duties in the Surgical
Dressings Shop, SO for these COM
bined reasons the Shop will not open
until further notice.
Mrs. Chappell has been appointed
Assistant Director of Surgical Dress
ings for Van Buren, County, and will
work with Director Mrs. +. c. Pen
oyar of South Haven.
Owing to a requirement that all
Red Cross work of the County must
be shipped from the same point, Paw
Paw will become the seat of the Coun
ty inspecting, packing, and shipping
of Surgical Dressings instead of South
Haven. This honor speaks well for
the work of our Shop here.
A very interesting event for the
Surgical Dressings Shop occurred on
September 10Th, at the G.. w. War
ner farm sale. Mrs. Warner and Mrs.
Scheibley put on a Red Cross sale of
hamburgs and coffee in place of the
usual free lunch. This was an origin
al idea and the ladies worked very
hard, with the result that $7.18 was
cleared from their sales and presented
by them to our local Shop. A more
patriotic thing for farm women to
think up is hard to imagine.

Foes of Draft Riot.
In Belfast as Police
Break Up Meeting

LONDON, April 18.-Rioting at
tended the breaking up of an anti-con-
scription meeting in Belfast yesterday,
according to a dispatch to "The Daily
News" Revolvers were used and baton
charges were made by the police, who
were pelted with paving stones. Writ
ually every plateglass window in the
street was smashed.
Fifteen thousand persons partici-
pated in the meeting, which was called.
by the Labor party The trouble was
precipitated, the dispatch says, by 200
young shipyard workers.
The flow of recruits from the mining
districts of Wales to Cardiff continues
freely, and to relieve the congestion
at the recruiting depot a general ap
peal has been made for persons to as
sist the recruiting officers. President
Callaghan, of the Cardiff Chamber of
Commerce. at the Coal and Shipping
Exchange there yesterday called for
volunteers to assist in the work
He said the recruiting officers were
virtually "snowed under" and were
working all day and until late at night
without being able to deal with all the
men who had come forward.

Crowder Plans
To Register All
Men Up to 50
New Draft Programme
Would Give Army Control
of Labor Situation
[Stnf Co7wespondence1

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Plans for
the registration Of every man in the
United States between the ages of
twenty-one and fifty, under proposed
amendment Of the draft law, have been
submitted to the President by Provost
Marshal General Enoch H. Crowder.
The execution of such a draft pro-
gramme, it is pointed out. would Writ
ually place control of the labor stu
alton under military authorities and
would mobilize the entire man power
Of the United States for call to the
colors as rapidly as military cxigencies
dictate.
There has been no inkling from the
White House as yet regarding the
Presidents view of the plan. However,
the mere fact that it has been for
warded to the Chief Executive would
indicate. it is pointed out, that it has
gained the approval of the General
Staff and at least Acting Secretary of
War Crowell.
Even though the President should
give the proposal his Endorsement, leg
islatlon would be necessary to make
it effective. Such legislation probably
would make it incumbent on regis
trants to fill out the questionnairc
used in the first draft; it would en-
power the War Department to classify
men as regards dependency and en-
ploymcnt in essential and non-essen-
tial industries, and to further allocate
this industrial man power to the So
called essential war industries as it
sees fit.
Brigadier General Hugh Fl. johnson
drafted the plan about. a month ago,
submitting it to General Crowder a
few days before he terminated his SER
vices as Deputy Provost Marshal Gen.
erai to accept promotion from colonel
to brlgadier general and assignment to
the Quartermaster Corps. 1t was
learned to-day that, at the same time
the plan was presented to the Presi-
dent it was outlined to leaders in tho
Senate and the House and to members
Of the War Council.
1t is understood the first draft Of
the plan contained provision by which
there would be no interference with
union labor provided strikes were for
increases in wages and better Lying
conditions. This provision, however,
was stricken out before the plan was
sent to- the White House. The final
draft OF the plan would make strikes
next to impossible. for military author
tiles could break strike in a day if
they so desired, by giving the strikers
the alternative of returning to work
or going into the army. At least. this
is the opinion expressed by those who
have had the privilege Of studying the
plan. In view Of this provision. it is
only natural to expect vigorous opposi-
| tion from union labor leaders

Irish Factions
Unite toFight
Conscription
Measure Passes Parliament
and Is Indorsed by
the Crown

LONDON, April 1S.-All the remain
ing stages of the man power bill, in
cluding conscription FOR Ireland were
concluded to-day.
The royal assent was given the
measure.
The leaders Of the Nationalists in
Ireland, including the Redmondites-
who are now led by John Dillon-the
Sim Feiners. O'Brienites, Laborites
and Clericals, are united in their de.
termination to resist conscription "by
the most effective means at our dis
posal," whicheis the wording of a reso-
luton passed at meeting of bishops
at Maynooth yesterday.
Join Sim Feiners
For the first time in many years the
Nationalists met the Dublin Sim Fein-
ers ard their older enemies. William
O'Brien and Timothy Healy, while
Labor representatives, who have not
been very friendly to the Nationalist
IN recent years, were present at the
conference, which was held under the
Craftsmanship of the Lord Mayor. The
Sim Feiners were loudly cheerad when
they arrived at the Mansion House.
The outcome of the conference was
that committee, composed of John
Dillon. Edward de Valera, Timothy
Healy and a Labor representative, with
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, was ap-
pointed to attend the bishops meeting
at Maynooth, where the resolution
quoted was passed.
Plan Great Protest
The meeting also directed that pub
lie meetings should be held in the
parish next Sunday, at which pledge
should be administered in the words
of the resolution. Masses of interces-
sion will also be held in every Catholic
church.
In the meantime, the authorities. al
though they do not anticipate that any
conscripts will be called until the
Home Rule bill is on the statute books,
are taking steps to deal with the sit
uation, which, to say the least, is
threatening.
Field Marshal Lord French, comman-
der in chief of the forces in the United
Kingdom, arrived in Dublin yesterday
with his staff.
The Nationalists, or at least the ma
jority of them, are understood to have
decided to abstain from attendance in
tho House Of Commons during the
crisis. thus adopting the attitude of

N. Y. District
Drops to 9TH
Place in Loan
$36, 100000 Must Be Sold
Here Daily to Fill
Minimum Quota

Fortunately the campaign to finance
Americas war for democracy is
scarcely more than two-ffths over.
Otherwise it would be too late for the
New York district to escape the odium
of being the seventh in the country
in relative achievements.
Despite the calls to speed up, the
Second Federal Reserve District yes
terday sank farther down. Only $780,
8o0,550 was subscribed for the tenth
day, which is the worst showing, ex-
cept one, of the period To raise its
official quota of 5000, 100000, the New
York district must average $4,000, 900
daily, and $780,, 100000 daily to attain
the self-alotted goal of s1,5O0,0OO, 900.
Other Districts Are Busy
While New York and the rest of the
district were slump;ng S42.0O0,000 be-
low the quota schedule, the other dis
trcts were busily engaged in buying
bonds. St. Louis, Dallas. Chicago, Min
neapolis, Kansas City and Boston, ac-
cording to the statistics last night in
the Treasury Department, have slipped
ahead of the New York district in rea-
tive standing. A day before New York
was tled for fourth place.
The danger of lasstude which has
apparently crept over the bond buyers
Of this district was discussed yester-
day morning at special meeting Of
the Liberty Loan Committee. The mem
bers sent "speed up" call to the vari-
Gus committees under it and to the
people of the district.
Though the New York district has
contributed more in absolute figures
than any other district, it's standing
in the percentage of it's quota sub,
scribed brings it only to the top of the
second division in the standing of the
twelve Federal Reserve districts, which,
collectively, have raised s1,089, ,734, 900
in ten business days. This brings the
nation as whole up to within $11O,-
265,100 of the schedule necessary to
raise the $3,000,000000 minimum. On
the tenth day Of the campaign, which
was reported yesterday. $136,811 $50
was pledged, which is the largest
amount for any day thus far.

Won Capelle
Says U-Boats
Are Winning
Admiral Declares Amer.
lean Destroyers Have
Proved a Failure

AMSTERDAM, April 1s.-Vice-Ad-
miral Won Capelle, German Minister of
the Navy, discussing submarine war
fare before the main committee of the
Reichstag, declared that the new
U-boat construction exceeded the
losses and that the effectiveness of the
submarines had increased. He quoted
figures to prove his contention that
the U-boat sinkings were thrice or six
fold the tonnage of the new British
construction.
The Minister declared that the
American destzoyers, (which had been
so much talked about" had failed in
their object, and he is quoted by the
semi official Wolff Bureau of Berlin
as saying with reference to shipbuild-
ing:
For the carrying out of Americas
giant paper programme America must
first lay down the shipyards. After
prodigious.. promises, America in 1917
built 100000 gross register tons of
seagoing ships. The large mercantile
fleet placed on order America does not
want for the war, but for the post
bellum period when, the shipping pro-
gramme having been in the meantime
NoA iiCU Out, hIuCIlCd Will become Eng
lands world freight carrier"
He then entered into details on the
worlds shipbuilding for the decade pre-
ceding the war, and contended that the
new construction of the United States
and japan to certain extent was need
ed for their own necessity. Hence only
the figures of British shipbuilding could
come into the question.
Speaking with reference to shipbuild
ing by England to repair the losses,
Admiral Won Capelle said that in the
middle of 1917 there was talk of three
million tons in official quarters in Eng
land; then Lloyd George dropped to two
millions, and now, according to Mr..
Bonar Law, the output is 100000 tons.
Strikes at Vital Nerves
AS against, therefore, about 1o0, 1000
tons monthly put into service, there
were sinkings of 100000. or six fold.
In brief, continued the Admiral. if
the figures given were regarded as too
favorable. and new construction was
assumed to be at the rate of 10000
monthly, that is, so per cen. higher.
and the sinkings reduced to 100000
then the sinkings would still be thrice
Es large as the new construction.

British and French Re-
sistance Increasing on
Whole Front
Foe Attacking With
Renewed Power
Latest Bulletins From the
Battlefront Encourage
British Public
By Arthur S. Draper
[Tribune Gable Scruicc]

1y [1IlIlQI -. draper
Tribune Cable Scrvicc]
LONDON, April 18.-There are
two satisfactory features in to-day's
fighting:
First, the British line is intact;
Second, the French are cooper
ating with the British.
From all accounts the fighting
lacks nothing of the violence of the
first days of the week, but the de-
fense is growing increasingly
stronger.
If it is appreciated that the Ger
man advances east of Ypres were
made without opposition and as
result of the British decision to de-
fend other positions. the battle
must be considered as developing
more favorably for the British.
Enemy Hordes Checked
Down the west slopes of Messines
Ridge and up the rising ground of
Mont KENNEL and Mont Rouge the
German hordes are striving desper-
ately to push forward, but their fu-
rious onslaughts have been checked,
and, where in few places they have
succeeded in penetrating the British
defences, sharp counter thrusts have
driven them back.
News is also good from the south
ern portion of the front, where the
furious bombardent from Robecq,
southeast to Givenchy, continued for
many hours preceding the strong
German attack. Apparently the Ger
mans are making real attempts to
mash the British right flank and take
Bethune, which in itself is of little
military Importance.
Try to Narrow Salient
There are two enemy objectives
here: to narrow the British salient
and to widen their path through
Nieppe Forest toward Aire and Lii
lers. From the outset the southern
portion of the front has been diff
cult problem for the enemy because
of the marshy ground. Besides, an
advanced here offers no such rich
prize as success in the north would
bring
What little change the last twen-
ty-four hours have brought is
viewed with satisfaction in high
quarters here, but there is no at
tempt to minimize the seriousness
of the situation which still exists.
The worlds greatest battle, for
the struggles on the Somme and at
Armentieres are all one now, is
now month old. All experts are
agreed that it is the decisive battle
and that it will end in favor of the
side that employs its reserves to the
greatest advantage.
Fail to Divide Allies
Germany has paid an enormous
price for the territory she has won.
She has yet to win a strategic sue
cess and she has failed to drive
wedge between the French and
British forces. In all the heavy
fighting after the first overwhelm-
ing thrusts when the British gave
way under the sheer weight of their
adversaries, the enemy has paid an
infinitely greater price than the
British and it is natural to expect
that his superiority of numbers
would have decreased considerably.
He is definitely committed to a
heavy programme and it must be
carried out regardless Of the cost,
and it is practical certainty that
he will return to the attack soon.
That will cost him more than the
price paid in the first phase of the
battle, but he cannot turn back
now.

Another German Mutiny
Troops Resist Order Sending
Them to Meet British

AMSTERDAM, April 1s.-A dispatch
from Eindhoven says that another
mutiny broke out at Beverloo Camp, in
the province of Limbourg, Belgium,
among the German troops when ordered
to the British front in France.
A number of the mutineers were shot,
the dispatch adds, but the resistance
continued.
