PEOPLE MUST DO THEIR PART.
Accept More Privations and Make
Great Sacrifices to Help Fighting Men.

LONDON, March N-The morning
newspapers call upon civilians to accept
still more privations and make greater
sacrifices in these fateful days. The Daily
Telegraph says

has hitherto seemed unable to realize the
perilous exigencies of the situation This
is no time to talk of individual rights or 10
make much of grievances which affect this
or that department of the nations indus

its present safety and its future welfare

Getting Used to Gas.

letter was received by Rev 8. T..

who is in Company c, Goth engineers,
at Camp Dix, Trenton, n. J. It said in
part:
1--WE were out to the gas house a

of what the gas is like that they are
using so much in this war We went
into the tear producing gas first. and
lust before we came out thew had US
take off our masks so as to get the real
effects of it, and we all shed lots of
tears. Then we went into very light
mixture of poison gas without masks
50 that we could get the oder of it and
be able TO recognize it. and I don t
think any of us will ever forget the
smell Of it, for it is the most horrible
smelling stuff that / ever smelled
Then we went into strong mixture
of it with masks on and couldn I no.
tice it at all, but it is not very
pleasant to wear a gas mask.

shall get away from here, but / wish
they would hurry up and send US across

FIRST FOOTBALL STAR FALLS
Malcolm Clifford Of Williams, Victim
of Unfortunate Circumstances,
Is War Victim.

Malcolm Clifford of Williams college,
is the first American football star to
fall in the great game lover there"
Williams joined Canadian regiment
last spring and said that he would
never return to America alive. He
lung himself into the war game with
the same spirit that he displayed in
football. He did this largely to help
him forget the unfortunate train OF
circumstances that had caused him to
be accused and tried for the murder OF
a taxicab driver in Albany, n. Y. This
incident saddened the life Of the foot
ball star and he cared little what hap
pcned to him in Europe.
