Notes on War Work

One of the newest and most inter- esting movements for war relief in Newport is the Weekly Knitting Club, organized by Misses Margaret Emma Stephens, Franchelle Watson and Elizabeth Wise. About a dozen little girls, from six to ten years of age, comprise this club. Of course at the meetings, there has to be little fun mixed in, for "all work and no play makes Jill dull girl" but each little lady has a knitting bag just like the grown-ups, and they are knitting wash cloths and sponges for the sol diers.
 The Junior Red Cross for the school children has taken hold in Jackson county The Tuckerman school has the distinction of being the first in the county to organize with every child in the school enrolled as mem Der, and will soon have certificate and Red Cross school flag on display, these being sent from National head quarters.
 County Chairman J. L. Bevens met 1 with Prof. Williams and the teachers here one afternoon when the plan of organization was discussed, and it is expected that our schools will soon have Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries The membership fee is twenty five cents year and the funds are ham, dled by a school treasurer and ex- pended for materials for war relief work by the pupils, if so desired Already quite bit of work has been started by the teachers and pupils such as comfort pillows, knitting and other things.
 Splendid work has been done in the War Savings Stamps campaign too, something like $450 worth of stamps having been sold in the schools, through the efforts and patriotism of the teachers in alousing the interest and desire to help in the children. Golfers Weekly is interested ir collecting information from various towns over the country as to the per cent of population enlisted under the colors, and among others proposed for the ''honor roll" mentions Clarks- villc, Arkansas, with population of 1,5OO, of whom 200 volunteered 13 1-3 per cent.''

GERMANY PAID BIG |. PRICE FOR U-BOAT
 SINKING IN MAY

London, June N-"The month of May was really the most favorable we have yet had"
 This is the comment of Archibald S. Hurd, the naval writer in the Daily Tele- graph. He adds:
 Tt is common knowledge that owing to the large number of submarines de- stroyed the enemy paid a higher price for every ton of shipping sunk than in any corresponding period since piracy was inaugurated.
 The offensive by sea was still being maintained by the Germans during May with the utmost vigor, but in spite of thu unprecedented number of submarines sent to sea only 224,O0O tons of British ton mage was lost as compared with 374,- 900 in May of last year. Tn spite of the fact that losses from marine risks were 'unduly heavy I can now be said definitely that the en emy's efforts to cripple us by sea by al offensive simultaneous to attacks on tht western front has failed definitely Although exact figures are wanting O the sinkings by submarines it is knowI they reached higher figure last montl than in any period since the submarin campaign began"

 Press Comment On VonKuehLrnann Speech

London, June 26.--Cvia Ottawa.)-A new note in enemy oratory was struck by pr. Richard Won kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, in addressing the Reichstag, according to the comments on his address appearing in London newspapers. The admission by Dr. Won Kuehlmann that the settlement of the war by military decision is impossible received much attention.
 The Daily Telegraph emphasizes the foreign minister's unusually brief ref erence to Germanys military prospects, and says that the general tone of his utterances on the subject of peace and the eastern front is undoubtedly a confession of weakness. In conclusion, the Tele- graph anticipated that the address may prove precursor to his dismissal.
 The Daily News says:
 'Dr. Won Kuehlmann, in his speech, excludes Alsace- Lorraine and in his dis cussion rejects the restoration of Bel gilm. which is one of the chief points in Great Britain's minimum terms. It is 10 be feared, therefore, that we are not yet in sight or sound of the end
 The Morning Post remarks that pr. Von kuehlmann, in disclaiming world con- quest as Germany's chief aim, is asking the world to disbelieve the evidence of it's own senses.
 The Daily Express says that the for eign minister's elaborate address is a naive admission that Germany, having

rifled the orchard of eastern Europe apples"
 The Times contends that the address was a bold profession or the policy of militarism, without the faintest trace of doubt or repentance. The war, 1t says, will certainly last as long as Germany Supports such policy. It continues by saying that the speech was even more remarkable for it's omissions than it's contents, the entry of America into the war being ignored. The Times asks if Dr. Von Kuehlmann will not find the allies terms specified with precision in President Wilson's speeches, and says that Germany dares not initiate the frankness of the American President.
 Paris. June 26.-(Havas Agency.)-The newspapers of Pars devote much space to the address of pr. Won Kuehlmann, the Germana foreign minister, and re- proach him for repeating Ties as to the origin of the war
 The Petit Journal declares. the orator must have an abnormal dose of inn pudence to declare the day after the German Emperor had glorified himself in that he foresaw the war, that Russia and the entente, started it." Tn the midst of ambiguities,' the newspaper says, 'can be seen the deadly uneasiness of the Kaiser"
 The speech was intended for German consumption, in the opinion of the Ex- celsoir, which says that the German people need such "recomforting tonics." The Petit Parisien sees an economic war after the war. and the Echo De
