minute speaker at the ChautauGua
Wednesday evening. discussing the
treason law which forbids giving aid
to the enemies of the country.
False reports have been circulated
about the president OF this country,
and repeated by supposedly good cit1-
zens. he stated. They have been told
about the conditions of soldiers and
sailors, about the Red Cross and Red
Cross workers, and most of all about
Italy, Great Britain and our Allies;
and whenever repeated we have help
ed the liar on his job" said DR.. Rae.
Where did they get the facts?'
asked the speaker. IF anyone had
stopped to trace them down, all he
would find at the bottom would be
a black, traitorous falsehood."
Quoting q friend who had said that
his one great prayer in the war was
that American soldiers would be the
first to put their foot on German soil,
Dr.. Rae maintained that should Amer

Allies to be drawn up along the Dor

pleaded.
There are many kinds of fools in

MAKE CLOTHING FOR
U. s. WAR PRISONERS
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Because
American army and navy officers cap
tured by the Germans frequently lose
overcoats, blouses, and other clothing,
the American Red Cross has estaD-
lished tailor shop at Berne, Switzer-
land, to make new clothing to be sent
to their prison camps.
Shoes have even been taken from
captured men, the leather being great
ly coveted by the Germans. and their
uniforms, If not taken entirely away,
are frequently torn to pieces in the
strenuous fighting that has preceded
surrender. The Red Cross, finding
forty officers in the prisoner list, pur.
chased a complete tailor shop in Paris
and moved it to the Berne base.
Food, towels, toilet articles, and
new clothing are bling supplied through
the Red Cross to prisoners, the first
mentioned articles being considered
most important to supplement the
prisoner, for which the Germans make
officers prisoners pay In money.
Receipts for these articles. are
signed by the men at the camp, in
order to make sure that they reach
their destination.

women WORKERS
WILL ASSIST IN
LOAN CAMPAIGN
State Organization Interested
in Effort of Wayne County
to Put Through Drive.

"The county Is well organized for
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign"
said Mrs. Charles Druitt, county chair
man Of the Woman's section, Thurs
day. Mrs. George Eggemeyer is city
chairman and Mrs. Edgar Hiatt is
vice city chairman for the women's
campaign. Mrs. Eggemeyer will use
as many on the committee OF the last
campaign as possible.
The township chairmen, most Of
whom served in the last campaign are
working on their committees now
The womans city committee and the
mems city committee will meet next
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock In the
Commercial Club rooms. This meet
ing will be held to establish a coop.
Grafton between the two.
So great is the impetus already CIV
en- the Fourth Liberty loan campaign
that several of the township chairmen
have been besieging the county COM
mittee with requests to begin their
labors at once. The fact, however.
that subscription blanks are rot yet
ready to be given out to the various
committees prevents this advance
work being done, but early next week
the blanks will be in the hands OF
each township.
viii Get Quota First.
The fact that Wayne county will en-
deavor to put the loan campaign over
in three days-September Is, 26 and
q, is being watched with interest by
the State organization, which had urg
ed all counties in the State to speed
the work this time. Wayne county,
however. was the first in the State to
definitely announce to w. H. Wade,
Indiana director Of Sales, that three
day campaign had been settled on and
that the organization work was well
in hand. If the project is carried
through to success, as now seems GER
tain, Wayne county will have reached
its entire quota before many counties
In the State will have begun their
work. Such an achievement would
give the county a prominent place in
the records Of the Fourth Liberty loan
and all members of the organization
are anxiously awaiting the day that
the actual solicitation begins.
As in previous campaigns all banks
in the county will receive subscrip-
lions on the partial payment plan.
Many thousands OF dollars Of these
subscriptions were taken in previous
loans and the indications now are that
the coming campaign will bring even
a greater number Of them.
