ers carried $1,000 of insurance on his
furniture, which he states was about
half Of the loss sustained.

CONE AS RED cross NURSE.

The Reveille was in error last week
in stating that Miss Margaret Nc
Dougall had returned to Tennessee
to await her call to service. Instead,
she received the call to go to Camp
Travis, Texas, to begin her work as
Red Cross nurse, and is now there.
Miss Margaret is Claiborne's first
contribution as an active Red Cross
nurse, and the prayers and good wish
es of the people follow her in her
great work.
The local Red Cross chapter pre-
sented her with a purse, when she
departed, in appreciation of her sac
rifice for suffering humanity.

.S34S,OOO WAR VAR
SAVING STAMPS
TO BE BOUGHT BY CLAIBORNE co.
This Amount Must Be Pledged June
2sth, But County Given the Entire
Year to Pay for Stamps.

Great things are expected Of Clai-
bprne duunty people during the month
of June, and they muat meet the en-
ergency. We are expected IL bug
$34s,O00 worth Of Thrift and War
Savings Stamps during the year, but
the total amount must be pledged
on June 2sth.
No one person can buy more than
$1,000 worth, but each person--man,
woman and child in the county
must own stamps. There is none too
poor to invest few quarters in
stamps, and all must do it. Children
without money can easily get en-
ployment on the farm or elsewhere
to earn little money for this pur-
pose. 1t is a means of teaching ev-
erybody to save as well as help lend
the government at time when it
needs money.
The war stamps draw interest, and
all who begin buying them become
regular buyers.

Profiteers.

Tokyo.-Troops have been called out
in nearly every important city in ia
pan to core with food (rice) riots, the
first of the kind since the country was
opened to civilization. Even the naval
station at MaiZuru is affected by the
unrest.
The riots are spreading like Wild

and setting fires. So serious is the
situation that the newspapers are for
0idden to publish anything about the
disorders.
In Tokyo the police are using swords
freely. In outlying districts the people
attacked the police with bamboo
spears.
Not only are the poor resorting to
violence, but the middle classes feel
impelled to thus protest against con-
d;tiOnS.
Disorders broke out in Tokyo. A
gathering of 5000 people which was
prevented from congregating in the
rark marched to the Gina, the great
retail thoroughfare, where they stoned
and damaged 200 stores and restau-
rants, raided rice depots and unsuc-
cpssful!y attacked the ministry of the

were wounded by the police swords.
At Nagoya, noted for its manufac-
tures of porcelain, Il mob of 10000 per-
sons rioted. At several places the SOL
diers fired on the disturbers.
1T Kobe the soldiers and police also
were obliged to use sabers and bayo-
nets against the rioters.
At Osaka telegraph wires were cut,
ana several street railways were fore
cd to suspend service after several
passengers had been wounded. Troops,
including cavalry, were called out.
twenty-five policemen and many riot
ers we're hurt. Five hundred persons
were arrested.
At Kobe a great rice warehouse
several factories and houses and q
large number of rice depots were
burned.
The seriousness of the situation led
TO q special meeting of the cabinet.
which decided TO appropriate $1,000
600 to purchase rice for distribution
at a moderate price.
