RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

over 100000 sweaters.
 It will require a stupendous amount of work on the part of the knftters, who are urged to knit as many as possible and as fast as possible. Although large orders have been placed for the purchase of sweaters and are being turned out As rapidly as manufacturers can pro- duce them the supply does not be- gin to meet the demand.
 At the present time over 00,0OO sweaters have been distributed from Red Cross headquarters but the calls continue from men who have not been Outfitted. The work of pro- ductcion will be stimulated by every means until the demand is met.
 The National headquarters is dis couraging chapters from making shipments of knitted goods to distant camps in order to avoid duplication and confusion. It has been deter mined that all sweaters produced ill each division shall be distributed by division headquarters to take care of the needs of the camps iri the division. Some of the camps, it is understood have made acquisitions on three or four chapters to send sweaters direct. as well as appeal ing to the division office. IL order to supply all of the men in the camps the supply service of the di- vision will have charge of the dis tribution of the sweaters from the different chapters.

It is the desire of the service section of the Red Cross that every house in Phoenix from which a man has gone shall carry a service flag and with this end in view the section held a meeting at the Monroe school Wednesday af- ternoon. Thirty-five of the relatives of the men in service were present and a number of flags were made from ma terial contributed by George J. Stone man, member of the executive board of the section.
 In addition to sewing, a general dis cussion was held on subjects that are constantly arising about the men, allot- ment, compensation, insurance, etc, and the exchange of ideas proved in- teresting and helpful to the gathering.
 Mothers, wives and sisters of en- listed and selected men, who live on the west side of Central avenue will Adams school where a similar meeting will be held.
 A pair of scissors was left at the Monroe school Wednesday. The owner may recover the same at the chamber of commerce.

DON'T BE A STACKER

This war has brought several words
into prominence, one Of which Is the
word Stacker, which has come to be
n word Of peculiar significance and
odium.
The president through the different
agencies of the Government has
called on US for men, for money for
the red cross, for loans to the four
issues Of the liberty bonds.
We have responded to all these calls,
and have met every request, and gone
beyond in most instances.
Now the president is calling on us
to send to the congress Of these Unit
ed States, Democratic representatives.
Woodrow Wilson, our president in an
open letter has said among other
things" The leaders of the minority
in the present congress have unques.
tionably been prowar, but they have
been anti administration. At almost
every turn since we have entered the
war, they have sought to take the
choice of policy and the conduct of the
war out of my hands and put it under
the control of instrumentalities of their
own choosing. This is no time, either
for divided counsel or for divided lead
ership. Unity of command is as neces-
sary now in civil action as il is upon
the field of battle. If the control of
the house and senate should be taken
away from the party now in power,
control of legislation and oblige all ac-
ton to be taken amidst contest and
obstruction"
"The return of Republican ma
jority to either house of the Congress
would, moreover, be interpreted on the
other side of the water as repudia-
ton of my leadership"
"If in these critical days, it is your
wish to sustain me with undivided
minds, beg that you will say so in a
way, which it will not be possible to
misunderstood either here at home or
among our associates on the other
side. submit my difficulties and my
hopes to you"
These are the words of our presi-
dent, and every man should heed the
call just as we have needed the call to
furnish men and money to win this
war.
In the matter of money, if We each
did not do his share the sum total could
be made up by some one else doing
more, but in the matter of voting no
one can cast but one VOTE no one can
cast our ballot except ourselves.
Then let us not be slackers in this
matter of voting. Our president is
calling on and expecting each Of us
to do our whole duty, in this matter,
as Quay county has done in every 'all
made on her in this war
So let us each of us acquit ourselves
as men and by all means go TO the
polls, on November the 9Th and cast
our ballots in accordance with the
wishes Of Woodrow Wilson. and send
democratic representatives 10 the con-
gress of the United States, to help
him win the war, and secure peace. and
the return of our men tn their homes.
Respectfully submitted.

HUNDRED VILLAGES
TAKEN BY ENTENTE
ON ITALIAN FRONT

One year ago the Italian armies
lsonzo with q great military disaster
imminent. Today the Italians, with
British and French divisions fighting
with them, and with American contin-
gents in reserve, are pouring through
what appears to be a breach in the
Austrian lines east of the Piave river.
Valdobbiadene has been captured,
Congeliano has been occupied and all
along a line stretching south to the
Treviso- Oderzo railroad, the allies are
marching steadily ahead. Prisoners
numbering over 10000 have been taxi
en- during the fighting.
Reports from the Pave front seem
to indicate that after the first rush
of the allies, the Austrian resistance
weakened greatly and there are indi-
cations that along the center of the
tirely crushed. The sweep of the al
lies eastward appears to have gained
momentum during the past day, and
1t seems probable that the next few
days may see the whole Austrian ar
my fronting the Piave in retreat to-
ward the Tagliamento.
Not only are the Austrian lines
yielding on the Piave front. but fur
ther north and west the allies are re-
ported to be advancing. The capture
Of Conegliano, the key of the Austrian
position, is considered fatal blow to
the enemy's plans to hold north of the
line, where the allied wedge has been
driven deep into the Austrian line.
The Austrian army corps on the
left wing has retired in disorder, leav-
ing behind war material and several
hundred guns. The sixth Austrian
army corps is said to be in very
critical position, engaged in heavy de-
fensive fighting on the hills between
Val Bobbiadene and the Soligio river.
Aviators are active, assisting the
Italian operations by bombing artil-
lery transport wagons in retreat.
Touching demonstrations by the pop
ulations of recaptured towns are said
to be occurring everywhere as the ltal-
ian troops march in.
Bitter fighting has been going on in
the Muese sector during the past day
or two. East Of the Meuse, the Amer
lean forces have moved ahead once
more and have wrested important po-
sitions from tie Germans. West of
the Meuse, the Germans have been
heavily bombing the American lines
and back areas with gas and high ex-
plosive shells. American long range
artillery has been pounding the Ger
man supply lines at Conflans.
West of the Argonne forest, the
French have begun an attack which
seems to promise the turning Of the
Aisne line, which is the main obstacle
to the French advance.
Taking advantage of a clear day,
American aerial bombing squadrons
started out early today from Verdun,
and attacked various enemy military
detectives west of the Meuse.
The big American guns also were
active, bombing cross roads and rail-
way functions far and wide within the
region of the previous bombardments
of objectives behind the enemy lines.

The report is as follows:
"A few days ago | received a let
ter from Mr.. f. p. Clayton, publicity
manager of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign, Of Dallas, Texas, which
reads as follows:
"As you are aware that il is the in
tentions of the Government to name
ten ships after the Incorporated cities
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve Dis
trict showing the largest over-subscrip
ton to the Liberty Loan, together with
the largest per centage of subscribers
in comparison with population. Ten
tanks to be awarded to counties in the
district showing the best record u ong
the same lines. The last Scholastic
census to be taken as the data upon
which to base calculations.
81 am sure that you will agree that
the honor is great one and that your
citizens will be extremely interested
in putting forward their claim. II
you consider that there is any reason
able possibility of your winning the
honor for your county, or any of your
incorporated cities, we want you to
fill in the enclosed form and support
the data by sworn statement before
a Notary as to the correctness of the
figures. Sincerely yours,
f. p. CLAYTON,
Publicity Manager.
Quay county's quota was placed a,
sS3. 800 and the total subscription was
about Sl6S,000 which give the county
percentage over-subscription of over
100 per cent the number of bonds pur-
chased, all values. was 1900. and the
scholastic population is 3.67l.
Tucumcari, incorporated, was given
n quota of S60,350, and the total sub

cent over subscription. The number
of bonds purchased was 9l9, and the
scholastic population is 800.
The above includes $4,000 unofficial
report of the Rock Island (Amarillo

From the above report ] am sure
there are but few slackers, and be-
lieve that every person in Quay coun-
ty is proud to know such a wonderful
showing has been made. wish to ex-
press my deep appreciation of the ef-
forts our committees have put forth
in this great drive, and above all
wish to thank Mr.. =. A. James and his
band for the untiring work put forth
in this campaign, for without their as
sistance | am sure we could not have
accomplished so much. On behalf of

for the cooperation received from
them. Their reports show the results
of their efforts.
