EGtros. consisting of a regimental intelligence officer, a ser geant and three men, this morning took four prisoners from a German outpost position. The Americans quietly slipped up behind and covered six Germans. Two of the men ran and were killed when they refused to halt.
 The four soldiers captured were merely youths. They were brought back to the American lines in broad daylight. They were poorly fed and clothed and seemed to be exceeding ly glad to be captured by the Ameri- cans. One of the men even asked permission to go to a nearby point and get his brother.
 Extremely valuable information is said to have been secured from the men.

U. S. NAVY DEPARTMENT
NOT IN HABIT OF MAKING
EXHIBITS WILL PARTICIPATE
AT FLORIDA STATE FAIE
State Fair Body Receiving Numerous
Letters of Generalization

According to A. A. Ormsby. of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture bureau of exhibits, the Navy De.
partment has always been averse to
making exhibits, and 1t Is was ex.
tremely fortunate in the Florida
State Fair and Exposition securing
this great $4,000 display of our sea
lighters for exhibition at the State
Fair in Jacksonville from February
26 to March 9.
The big exhibit of the Navy De.
partment will be larger than at first
intended, and the display of the De-
partment Of Agriculture has also
been enlarged, resulting in Prof. F.
Lamson-Scribner requesting Presi-
dent w. F. Coachman to give them
1000 square feet more of space In
view of the Florida State Fair and
exposition securing these two big
government exhibits, the officials
have been congratulated on all sides,
and it is believed that on this ac.
count, many hundreds of people will
attend the State Fair who otherwise
might have stayed at home.

Knitted Helmets For Army Must Be
OF Olive Drab, Gray For Navy

Confusion has arisen in many parts
Of the United States in regard to or
ders that have gone out from the war
department in regard to the regula-
ton uniform for officers and men in
the army, many of whom have not
been careful about the details of their
dress even when on duty, and this
confusion has resulted in rumors and
even in statements in the press that
knitted articles given by the Red
Cross and by private individuals
would not be allowed as part of SOL
diers equipment Under this order.
Requests for information on this
subject have come to Southern divis-
ion headquarters, as many Red Cross
chapters have spent large sums of
money given to knitting. According
ly 2. Bennett Phelps, director of the
bureau Of military relief, wishes to
make public certain sections Of a
memorandum sent out from the head
quarters on the 30th division, U. S. A.,
at Camp Sewer, which is based on
information sent out by the adiutant
general by order of the secretary of
war.
"(c) Knitted wooden helmets, muff-
lers and wristlets of olive drab color
may be worn when, in the opinion of
the immediate commanding officer
concerned, climatic conditions and
lack of sufficient other warm clothing
make it necessary But when the
Knit helmet is authorized to be worn,
the uniform that will in every case
be worn in addition to the helmet.
Wooden helmets and mufflers of 9th.
er colors than olive drab are absolute
ly prohibited.
The wearing of the knitted helmet
muffler and wristlets is particularly
applicable, when necessary and ad.
vlsable, in the case of the guard. driv.
ers OF wagons, trucks, automobiles
etc, prisoners at work, fatigue de.
tails, working parties and commands
on practice and other marches
AT formal ceremonies none Of these
articles of clothing will be worn.
(d) Sweaters will not be worn 90
outer garments. There is no abiec.
ton to sweaters, especially those Of
olive drab material, being worn un.
der the shirt or blouse.
1t is suggested by division head.
quarters that Red Cross chapters bav.
ing on hand a supply of grey wool
should make 1t into sweaters and
SOCKS and save the olive drab WOO,
which is very hard to get for knitting
helmets, mufflers and wristlets

TURN CASH INTO GUN FIRE

We fought and won the Spanish
war with 10000 soldiers and $780,
100000 bond issue. In men under
arms we now have ten times that
number. We issued ten times that
amount of bonds in the first Liberty
Loan. We are proposing to spend
and loan to the allies in the first fis-
cal year of the war $4,000, 900.
From now until the end of this fiscal
year the treasury anticipates needing
| 5000 100000 a week-that is, the treas
ury has got to fight financially a
Spanish war every four days. That
indicates money measure Of the
size of this work, but that is not the
real measure. We have just seen
that one might have plenty Of money,
but an empty coal bin. In just the
same way the government can have
plenty of money, but an unequipped
army This army cannot be equipped
as modern warfare demands if the
man power of the country is at the
same time called upon to produce all
of our ordinary comforts and luxuries.
1t is just as plain as two and two
that all of us must make personal sac
rifices must give up comforts and
luXuries, even necessary expenditures
that can be postponed, if there is to
be labor and material enough to equip
the army in time for it to fight while
it will do some good to have it fight.
In war the only effort that is of
any value is that which is ultimately
translated into gun fire on the field
Of battle. The gun fire that will win
this war cannot be delivered until all
America recognizes individual respon-
sibility until the whole people join in
the effort by giving up things that
they can do without, SO that the labor
that would have been employed in
making those things can do work that
will ultimately result in gun fire. The
government has offered the opportun-
! ity to translate at once every ones
personal patriotism into the sort of
help that will win the war Forego
buying something that is unneces-
sary; loan the money you would have
used to the government by buying IS
war savings certificates. You will
thus have released labor, you will
have given credit to the government,
you will have acquired the best Sc
curity in the world, United States
