supply of thrift and war savings
stamps on hand and points out that
the department has repeatedly pub
lished instructions to postmasters to
keep themselves amply supplied, by
means of timely requsition, with war

complaints are being received that

LETTER FROM CAPTAIN
MELTON.

Some very disquleting rumors from
camps in Georgia and other states have
been aloat in regard to the distribu-
ton OF sweaters and other knitted
articles sent to the men by the Red
Cross. Men who could afford and al
1eay owned expensive sweaters We're
said to have accepted and used the
donated articles to polish their boots,
all of which was very discoraging to
those who bad patiently knitted the
articles, giving their time and energy
in the earnest desire TO do something
to help. The following letter from
Cuimby Melton refutes these state
ments in regard to the Americas Red
Cross chapters donations, at least.

My Dear Mrs. Cobb.
Saturday the Red Cross association
sent me 80 sweaters for my boys. IN
many Of these sweaters here were
names and address Of the persons who
knitted them. Among the lot were
several from Americas. Two of them
were knitted by Mrs. John A. Cobb
Mrs. Cobb, you cannot imagine the
amount Of comfort you good women
are bringing to our boys. While some
Of them have sweaters knit ny loved
ones at home or that they have bought.
still there are many that have no one
to knit for them and have not sufficient
funds to buy them. This is the elias
Of men that we're given these sweaters.
One Of your sweaters went to Fiano
Pasquale, a smiling son of Italy, who
made his living with a hury-gurdy
wagon N Brooklyn before joining the
army. He speaks very little English,
but grinned when ] gave him the
sweater and said, tell the sweet lady
who sent ME this I love her"
The other sweater was given to

CREW OF ATTACKED U-BOAT I

London, July What Is IL like To
the crew OF a German submarine
which is sent TO the bottom by allied
destroyers?
A British submarines crew which
recently had a narrow escape from
sinking knows, because It had the
experience and came out alive. From
dry official sources has been cuIled
this remarkable story Of human en-
durance and nerves OF steel.
The British undersea craft was
cruising on the North Sea when Il
sighted several German destroyers.

at the greatest speed.
SO rapid was the descent that the
submarines helm iammed. Before
the commander could right his craft,
a violent explosion. caused by a depth
charge fired by one Of the German
boats, shook the vessel So severe
was the conclusion that the crew
were lifted of their feet.
Unable to stop the descent Of the
submarine, the commander was forced
to dive to the bottom of the sea.
A hasty examination showed that
the boat was undamaged except for
the jamIning of the helm. There was
nothing to do but lie quiet on the bot
tom and hide from the pursuers the
crafts wherea bouts.
There came second explosion. as

And this we have learned:

tics during the war. He takes the
position that the Republican party is
perfectly justified in carrying on their
campaigns with a partisan touch, but
does not see why the President should
interest himself at all in politics to
the extent Of endeavoring to get
men in either the Senate or House
who are committed to his side of the
equation.
This is OF Importance to the coun-
try. We believe the statement de-
mands attention-for the very reason.
as Mr.. Hays does NOT put it-that
if ole side is to be permitted to play
politics the other side should also
be permitted to do the same thing.
But the people. If this is done. should
not let either side play politics to
the extent OF damaging our battle
against Germany. That is the big
thing now. The other can wait. We
wish Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Mccormick
would come to an amicable under
standing on this subject.
