WHAT INDIVIDUAL SAVING
DOES.

The Railway Conductor, the Off
cial organ of the Order of Railway
Conductor, says:
"Individual saving will curtail
the production of nonessentials and
thus help the production of war
necessities. We can not win the
war unless we manufacture muni-
tions and supplies in tremendous
quantities. AS one writer has put
it, when we are threatened with a
flood and must build q dam to save
ourselves we must drop other occu-
pations for the time being and
build the dam.
"The world is threatened with
German atrocities. Therefore we
must drop many our of usual avo-
cations and work on the dam of
guns, munitions and military sup
plies of all kinds, We must save
as individuals and loan our money
to the Government. We must also
sell our labor to the Government
for the production of ships and
other war necessities.
"The money we save es individ-
uals will not only help to furnish
the Government with money, but
it will also help to furnish it with
labor. 1t therefore becomes the
patriotic duty of every wage Garner,
as well as every person, to save as
individuals and thus strengthen
the hand of the Government and
support those who are Offering
their lives that we may continue to
be free"

MADE SPY-PROOF.

To prevent the possibility of val
liable information getting into Ger
many, the American Red Cross, in
sending letters behind the enemy
lines at the request of persons in
this country, is following carefully
plan worked out by the State De-
pertment to do away with code.
Americans, Germans or others
in the United States wishing to
communicate with relatives in Ger
many must now write their messa-
ges in Red Cross chapters through
out the country. These are sent
through the division officers of the
organization to National head
quaters. Here they are rewritten
and the wording changed to pre-
vent the sending of any diagram or
secret code. The messages are
given the censorship board and are
passed or refused by them as the
case may be- When they reach
neutral country, they are translated
on other paper and in most cases
delivered by the Red Cross Of the
place to which they go. The plan
is considered as spy-proof as it is
possible to devise.
During the last twenty-five years
practice has grown up that well
fare inquiries and messages shall
be permitted between civilians in
countries which are at war with
each other. The promiscuous send
ing of letters through organiza-
tons in neutral countries could not
be permitted because of the large
number of enemies in the country.
To prohibit entirely the sending of
messages would, for example, pre-
vent a loyal American from fiud-
ing out whether his sister, un-
fortunately married to German,
was alive or dead. Prohibition
was in force fot a time and pitiful
appeals were received 10y the Red
Cross from French, Belgians and
Italians begging the society to get
word for them as to whether their
people in the occupied districts
were still alive.
The State Department presented
to the Red Cross the present plan
in detail and asked that the Red
Gross put it into effect. As it was
purely humanitarian work, the
Government could do no more than
supervise the work.
Today the American Red Gross
is sending an average of 1900 let
ters day to persons living behind
enemy lines. This work is done
through Washington headquar-
ters of the American Red Croes by
the Bureau of Communication, Of
which Edward NJ. Day is acting
director.

France at last, well and happy.
we are having a good time and
plenty to eat. Breakfast, we had
fried meat, hot cakes, syrup and
coffee; dinner, roast beef, boiled
potatoes, gravy, white broad and
pudding; supper, kidney beans,
hash, white bread and coffee. So
you see we are fareing very well.
The ocean was a revelation to US,
and we had good trip coming
over. The sunsets were beautiful.
We had moonlight nights, too, but
\did not sight "su0" while on the
water. Our camp is 7Omiles from
the Spanish border, about the same
1istace below Bordeaux and about
6 miles from the coast, SO you can
easily locate us on the map. We
are employed at saw mill, but we
all hope for a chance soon to 60 to
the front.
The American people don't have
the slightest idea Of what the war
ia aud what is going on over here.
If permitted to do so could tell
n lot, but we have permission to
tell only where we are located.
This is not the gay France as it
was pictured to us before the war.
Practically all the women are in
mourning, and you would have to
see the conditions here to realize
what they are, and we have not
seen the worst of it.
All you see here are soldiers-
Americans, Canadians, Algerians,
Frence, English any many island
ere of the seas, The majority of
the people here wear wooden shoes
as they do in Holland. 1t looks
funny to see so many wine shops.
In some blocks practically every
house sell wine, beer and other
LIQUORS. [ was in (censored) for a
few days and saw a wall built IN
1854 and many other old buildings.
The street cars here have only four
or FIVE windows and the French
trains are joke.
France has beautiful forests aud
the trees are planted in rows. We
are in a section where they get tur-
pentine from the trees and there
are cork trees. The bark is cork,
lust like that you buy, only it is
not finished for commercial use.
Today six of US went down to the
beach. We walked about 2 miles
and came to a little French store.
They had dry goods, hardware and
groceries the same rs you have at
home. We went in and made few
purchases. We have picked up a
little French, and with their knowl-
edge of English we managed to
carry on conversation.
The general opinion here is that
+ha war will not end before next
spring if then. There is hardly a
man to be seen in France between
the ages of IS and 40 who is not a
soldier. and many of those in civil
ian life are soldiers who have been
wounded and discharged

MISPLACED SYMPATHY
GIVEN SHERIDAN FARMER

State Fire Marshal A. F. Ecklund,
who was a visitor in Glasgow Mon
day, tells a. peculiar instance Of mis-
placed sympathy given to William
Campbell, a farmer in Sheridan coun-
ty, neal Plentywood.
About three weeks ago the press
dispatches contained a story Of the
loss of a fine barn, residence and other
buildings on the farm of William
Campbell, by fire, at the time said to
have been incendiary. 1t was given
out that Campbell had been called
by telegraph to 60 east and in com-
pany with his wife and two small
children is said to have ostensibly left
in answer to the urgent call. And the
night of the leaving Of the Camp
BELLS everything inf1ammable on the
Campbell ranch was destroyed by fire.
The people of the neighborhood ex-
pressed the greatest sympathy for the
loss but later developments made by
Fire Marshall Ecklund disclosed the
fact. it is alleged by Sheridan county
officials and fire insurance agents,
that Campbell had insured his prop
erty for S12, 900 when it was in real
ity worth only $1,000 and that instead
of leaving for the east, returned and
set fire to his property. =.
Campbell is said to have confessed
the entire transaction and he gave as
an excuse that he expected to get the
insurance and pay up all his debts.
Campbell has been bound over to the
district court in the sum of $4,000
which he has been unable to give.

The new amended regulation will
have the effect Of taking many men
from class two and placing them in
class one. June 9, 1918, is the latest
date when children, born or unborn,
will be recognized as dependents en-
titling the drafted fathers to a de-
ferred classification upon the depen-

is required before the deferred classi-
fcation will be granted. The ruling
applies to registrants in the original
enrolment and to those who have be-
come Of age since June s, 1917.
No dependency claim at all, how

Nation Said to be Facing Short
age Of 6O,0OO,00O Tons of
Coal This Winter.

Montana must depend largely upon
its own mines for an adequate Goa
supply for the current fuel year. This
IL the sum and substance of the mes
sare brought to this state by A. w.
Galloway, director of bituminous dis
tribution for the United States fuel
administration.
Mr.. Galloway met with q number Of
mine operators and state fuel officials
in Billings last week to arrange for
the appointment Of a district repre-
sentative, who will have charge OF
the distribution of coal in Montana
and north Wyoming.
1.-THE nation now faces a shortage
of 60. 600, 900 tons of coal for the cur
rent year." said Mr.. Galloway. "This
means that conservation must be
practiced. 1t means that every bit of
coal produced must be used. Mon
tana now puts a large percentage of
its slack on the dumps. This must
stop. Industrial and institutions that
can use this class of fuel by putting
in suitable equipment should lose no
time in doing so. 1t may become
necessary in the near future, to make
an order along this line"
To Facilitate Distribution.
Distribution of coal in Montana
should be greatly facilitated by the
appointment of a district representa-
tive. Mr.. Galloway named w. B.
Innes, secretary of the Western Coal
Producers association, for this posi-
ton. Mr.. lines will open his office
in Billings and will take up the work
at nee.
The district representative will deal
with the producers only. Instead of
having to do with the individual mines,
the state fuel administration will
hereafter pass all distribution re-
quests up to Mr.. lines, whenever
there is an emergency.
The United States fuel admintstra-
ton is now engaged in compiling a
preference list. Domestic consumers
will have their immediate needs sup
piled first through retail dealers. Be-
fore coal will be shipped to retail
