HIS WIFE
 TOOK ON A FEW

Pittsfield, Mass, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Charles S. Mellen, wife of the former railroad head, and her oldest daugh- ter, Kathryn, were present for an hour at the probate court hearing of MT. Mellen's petition for decree to permit him to live apart from his wife.
 While they were in the court room, MT. Mellen testified in response to questioning by Mrs. Mellen's counsel, that his wife was accustomed to drinking and that he had taken a cocktail with her occasionally. He said he considered this "no crime but very foolish custom" and that he had nc bad habits himself.
 MT. Mellen said that his wife oc- casionally alarmed her own stockings but he did not think this constituted her a thrifty housewife" Under further cross examination, MT. Mellen said the first time he struck his wife was after she has scolded their child ren for littering his desk.
 He hit her in the face and made he: nose bleed.
 Asked if he had ever kicked his wife, he replied:
 "Once,". He said he had a black eye for tive weeks after Mrs. Mellen had hit him with round piece of marble used in darning stockings, in November, 1917.

 Chas. l.. Thompson, state chairman of the Non-War Construction Board is calling attention to the require. ments for the securing of a permit for all new construction of whatever char acter. He says:
 "While it is not the policy of the Government to interfere unnecessar- ilys with any legitimate bushes, in- dustry, or construction project it must be remembered that there is an i'm perative and constantly increasing demand for labor, material and capl- tai for the production and distribu-

gotten plan of murder.
 We have been compelled to meet German science with greater science. We have been forced to find a way to master it's work in the air, on the land and under the sea; and the science of Americans and of our AL lies will yet prove as far superior to the science of Germany in it's cam paign of murder as American honor exceeds the black dishonor of Ger many
 As every telegraphic click across the Atlantic brings new toll of death and of suffering our hearts should be steeled to an unbending and unbendabe determination that Ger many and the German people shall pay to the utmost extent of human power the penalty of their crimes, not only because they deserve punish ment as the blackest criminals in human history, but in order that civilization may be safeguarded for the future
 Every word of peace spoken in America or in the countries of our Allies is uttered by some one who is German at heart, whatever may be the disguise under which he seeks, clothed in the livery of Heaven, to do the devils work.
 False to the teachings of God Him. self, false to the history of all hu- manity, false to every man who has died and to every man who has been wounded on the battlefields in de- fense of civilization, false to the hon. or of womanhood and the safety of childhood, false to human liberty now and moreover, is every man or woman who utters one word suggestive of peace without punishment.
 False is every man who even for one moment thinks that an unbeaten, unrepentant, unpunished Germany would not for all the centuries to come to be blot upon civilization and an everlasting disgrace to those who profess to believe in that righteous wrath which every honest-hearted man and woman should have as we contemplate the boundless woe and unvoiceable sorrow with which Ger many has filled the world, merely that it's people might become the mur- derers, the outragers, the looters of all mankind for personal and national aggrandizement. It would seem that even Almighty God would to such spineless moral degenerates or cow ards as those who favor peace with out punishment say, Because you are neither hot nor cold will stew you out of my mouth"

AMERICAS ANSWER TO PEACE
 PROPOSALS.

Science prostituted to wholesale murder is the diabolical scheme with which Germany has sought to destroy civilization in order that on the ruins it might build a world-controlling, autocratic, atheistic power.
 All that German scientists have been able to achieve has been by the German Government and the German people prostituted to the killing and the maiming of millions in order that Germany might conquer and loot the world.
 In the air, on the land and under the sea every device which the chem ist and the engineer have been able to devise for bringing suffering and sorrow upon the world has been put into effect by German experts. All that the whole German nation has accomplished in the past in the de- velopment of science has been prosti- tuted to the destruction of moral for ces at home and to the murder of millions of people on the battlefield
 It has been said that this is war of science, but, broadly speaking, we are not engaged in war, for the fight to which this nation and our Allies have dedicated their lives is not a war such as the world has ever known.
 This is a campaign by Germany of deliberately, definitely-planned, long gloried-in murder.
 This is a campaign of frightfulness which finds expression in ruthless destruction of every country over which the rotten-souled armies of Germany have marched.
 This is campaign in which Ger many has gloried in it's power to in- flict suffering unfold upon women and children, in which it has ruth lessly shot the aged and infirm, in which it has destroyed churches and cathedrals fifth the same gloating glee of the demon with which Ger mans have destroyed womanhood and childhood.
 This is not, therefore, war of science, as expressed through chem istry and engineering. is being used to the utmost power of human ingen- uity, aided by every influence which the devil himself can put into effect to enable Germany to make more frightful it's hell-devised and hell-be-

Wide Distribution Shows America Is

Director of Red Cross

New York, June 1.-THE Red Cross
drive went lover the top" by $4,000
600. More than 100000 persons con-
triouted, Contributions totaling $780,
439, POI have so far been compiled.
These were the figures made pub
lie Sunday by Henry p. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross war coun-
ell. in declaring the campaign the most
successful in the history of the ma
ton. Mr.. Dawson said:
"The supreme feature of the
achievement is to be found not in the
amount of money subscribed. great MS
it is, but in that it has come from
every part of the United States, from
its cities, its towns, it's farms, its fac
tories, from the rich and the poor, re-
CARELESS of sect, color or political
creed.
"While it is estimated that those
contributing to the war fund last year
numbered probably 100000 persons,
our returns this year give evidence
that more than 100000 Americans
have contributed to the new fund.
This manifestation Of loyalty and
sacrifice by the people of our country
brings to the Red Cross war council
renewed consciousness of the sacred
ness of its trust. 1t will stamp indel-
IDLY in the minds of our soldiers and
sailors that The American people are
behind them to the uttermost.
congratulate every American
who has contributed either time or
money toward this the greatest work
Of mercy, of love and of justice in the
history of mankind"

CAN'T BRIGHTEN u. S. WOMEN
Bombing of Red Cross Hospitals by the
Germans Won't Deter Enroll
ment of Nurses.

Washington, June 5.-Miss Jane A.
Delano director of the department of
nursing of the American Red Cross,
said 1.-The persistent bombing of Red
Cross hospitals just as our drive to en-
roll military nurses begins, may be
merely coincidence. If, however,
the Germans believe that such meth
DDS will have any effect in lettering
American nurses from volunteering for
hospital work, they are badly mistaken.
Tactics of frightfulness will merely
send more and more of them to back
up our men. II it is the German in
tention to brighten our women they will
find that American women do not know
how to retreat any more than do our
boys in Picardy. The enrolment of
nurses will be American womanhood's
answer"
