WHAT PUBLICITY HAS DONE
FOR YOUNG ENLISTED MAN
Reveals Mother and Discloses What
He Could Not Remember as
to Own Name.

DALLAS, Tex, January S.-The desire
to serve his country and wide publica-
ton of dispatch from Dallas two
weeks ago that he did not know his
name or place of birth, have led to
the location and identity of the mother
of John" Puddy, according to Capt
Walter Ball, in charge of the naval re-
cruiting station here. The mother is
Mrs. Jack Puddy of Bolton. Tex
Two weeks ago young Puddy applied
for enlistment in the Navy. He passed a
perfect physical examination, but said
the only name he knew was "Puddy'
and that he did not remember his par
'ents or place of birth.
Capt. Ball heard Puddy's story and
christened him John Puddy, Fort
Worth Texas, aged eighteen" Puddy
was then accepted for service
Publication of the story, Capt. Ball
said, brought letters to him from par
ents in many states seeking lost sons.
One letter from Mrs. Jack Puddy, Bel
ton, Tex, interested Capt Ball. The
exchange of letters with Mrs. Puddy
definitely established, according to the
naval officer, the relationship between
the Bolton woman and the naval re-
cruit.
John has been given furloueh and
left today for visit to his mother.

BRANDS KAISER AS AN
INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN
Crawford Vaughan, Labor Leader of
Antipodes, Speaks Before
American Alliance.

NEW YORK. January S-Crawford
Vaughan, former premier of South Aus
tralia and one of the labor leaders of
the antipodes, speaking here at a mass
meeting under the auspices of the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy, characterized the German en-
peror as an international assassin. He
asserted that the Prussian ruler, who
combines in one person all that was
worst in Attila, Caesar and Napoleon,
had planned to govern the world from
Berlin through the instrumentality of
a gigantic military organization.
"The man who states that the pres
ent war Is a capitalists war states
what he should know is not true" said
Mr.. Vaughan. IF this war was one for
for which the capitalist was respon-;
sible it would be the very worst finan-
cial venture on which he ever en-
barked.
Discussing the important part labor
must play in the war. he declared:
THE man who drives nail into
wooden ship is driving a nail into the
coffin of the kaiser. The man who
|strikeS the rivets to fasten the boiler
plates on the sides of destroyer or
transport should regard himself as not
hitting the kaiser on the head at the
same time
'The man or woman who produces
metals. clothing, food or in some way
helps to contribute his or her share to
the war is doing as much as If he or
she were turning a machine gun on
the ranks of the enemy"

No Cases of Drunkenness Seen.

Admiral Sims said there never was
time in American history when there
was so little drunkenness among the
American fighting forces. He had been
here for eight months. he said: and had
various cities in England and on the
French front and never had seen
drunken soldier or sailor and no case
of drunkenness in the Navy had been
called to his attention.
THE Americans did not come to Eu-
rope to get drunk" Admiral Sims con-
tinued. This war is a serious busi-
ness with them. AS far as the Navy
is concerned, the young men who are
hunting for submarines realize that
they must have all their wits about
them Besides. there is a fine feeling
of honor among them. They know the
Navy's orders. They are here to aid
their country; they are here to make
a record

MUST FOREGO LUXURIES
IF WAR is TO BE WON
Frank A. Vanderlip Tells New York
Bankers of the Need Of Men to
Work on War Materials.

NEW YORK. January s.-That the war
will not be won unless the slogan, "Busi-
ness as usual" is abandoned, was the as
sertion made by Frank A. Vanderlip
chairman of the war savings committee,
in an address before a gathering Of New
York bankers. He declared it is abeo-
lutely essential that labor be released for
the production Of materials with which
to equip our soldiers in France. Mr.. VAN
derlip declined to catalogue what he con-
sidered non-essentials.
"If there is any doubt in your mind as
to just what you should eliminate" said
Mr.. Vanderlip. Took back to your less
prosperous days. and you will learn that
many of those things you now consider
as necessary to life are in fact luxuries
You got along without them some years
ago and you can do SO today.
eff there is any doubt in the minds of
any one here as to what he might forego
in order to help spread the gospel Of war
savings, he might send his weekly ex-
pense bill to me and believe can elimi-
nate number of non-essential things.
IT think it is absolutely impossible for
US to produce what this government must
have. and have quickly, II we go on ask

Deprecated by British.

An investigation showed that it was
the general opinion that any drunken
ness on this side of American soldiers
and sailors is confined to a few isolated
cases and that DIR. Newtons remarks
are deprecated by British officials. One
of the officials said today:
'Dr. Newton's allegations regarding
intemperance generally are in striking
contrast to the known facts. Regard
ing drunkenness in London at the pres
ent day, the total number of cases dur
ing the recent Christmas and New Year
holidays showed a decline of So per
cent, as compared with the figures of
1915. Over the whole of Great Britain
a reduction well over 70 per cent has
been achieved by the regulations which
have been in force since 1915"

Col. Slocum also declared that he had
never seen a drunken American fight
ing man on this side of the water
Walter Hines Page, the American am
bassador, and the secretaries of the
embassy, the American consul general
and the officials of the consulate all
