ANOTHER CALL FOR CLOTHING
FOR EUROPEAN SUFFERERS.

Mrs.'M. j. Davis. chairman Of the
Bear Lake Chapter of the American
Red Cross. is in receipt of the fol
lowing circular from division head
quarters at Seattle:
The Red Cross will make another
collection of used and surplus cloth
ing during the week beginning March
"a, 1919.
Months ago. Mr.. Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross War
Council cabled from Europe that the
cessation OF hostilities would find the
world face TO face with picture of
misery such as had never before been
seen in the history Of mankind. The
veil that hid this picture from us has
now been lifted and we know that
millions of people must depend for
some months 10 come upon food and
clothing from America. LII we fail
Them, they Will perish by thousands.
once more, the american Red Cross
Is to prove itself The Greatest Moth
er in the World
The TWO former collections of us
ed clothing wer made by the Red
Cross for the Belgian Relief Commits
sion for the French and Belglans be-
and the German lines. This collec-
tion Is wholly under Red Cross aus
pices and is for all the distressed
peoples of Europe, except the Cenral
Powers.
The amount asked of us ia Just
Cwice as great as last time. ten thou
sand tons from the United States, six
! hundred tons from the Northwes-
tern Division, and consequently twice
as much from your Chapter as was
requested last time.
Without doubt there is in every
Chapter Jurisdiction enough used
clothing which the owners Will freely
give to this collection to fill the Chap
ter's allotment several times over.
We are advised that the need is so
urgent that over collection is very
desirable
Previous collections have in the
main been conducted on the basis of
asking people to bring or send the
clothing to "a central collection cen
ter. If we are to succeed this time,
we shall have to use a much larger
number of subsidiary collection CEN
tiers, and enlist every possible agency
lof solicitation and collection.

is now en- route TO France on the u

letter written to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. w. Davis. few days before

After couple of days at getting
things ready we pulled up to our
first position and ON the 18th of July
our guns opened up. While in this
position we were visited by Ger-
man air bomber and he dropped 'em
close to us, or at least we thought he
did at the time. We were in FIVE po-
sitions on this front, which was the
Chateau Thierry drive. 1t took us
on sour last stand After leaving
Chateau Thierry we conveyed to the
St. Mihiel sector, where this battery
and regiment again made good. The
morning we opened up it was sure a
roaring noises as there was every sized
gun made on that sector and it seemed
as though all of them were going at
the same time. 1t was about the
biggest barrage that 1 saw put up
during the time We were in the fight.
At rs that morning everything was
quiet. Then at 1870 there was the
biggest barrage l ever heard.
After leaving this position we went
over to a point northeast of Verdun.
where we were engaged in the bat
ties of dead mans hill" the Argon-
ne forest. the crossing of the Mouse
and last in the pursuit of the broken
German army. We were fairly
tramping ON their heels with our
heavy guns.
After the armistice was signed we
went back to the rear and spent
Thanksgiving in some woods near
Blarcourt, France. We left for
Germany on Dec. 2. and had nice
trip. We spent Christmas in Bas-
senheim, Germany, about eight miles
from the Rhine On New Years Day
we left Bassenheim for this place;
crossed the Rhine and on here. We
are only few miles from Coblenz,
and I have been In the city several
times. We are now enjoying our
selves doing squads east and west.
We have very pleasant quarters and
the grub" is much better than we
had at any time In France The

RAY JONES WRITES OF THE
DOINGS OF 146TH ARTILLERY

Roy Jones, who is now stationed
at Nauort, Germany, with the 146th
field artillery writes an interesting
letter to his parents under date OF
Feb. IL, from which we publish the
following:
You asked what division we were
/, in. Well, we are in no division We
used TO be In the 41st. but after that
division arrived overseas it was
changed to a repla ement division,
and we were never put In another
division. We have Just been tramp
artillery and are In the seth brigade,
consisting OF the 146th and 14sth
field artillery. We call it the lost
brigade"
You also mentioned of how you
would have liked to have seen some
of the battles. There was no glory
to the artillery fighting-it was all
work When this regiment left Cler-
mont for the front we unloaded our
trucks and tractors at Meaux. Just be-
hind the lines. We drew the same
old guns the battery and regiment
had while in training at camp. That
was before came across in April.
The guns had been painted and cam
ofiagued while the regiment was in
training. At the time of our arrival
at Maaux was in the fourth gun sec
tion and there are four guns to a
battery. When we drew our guns the
fourth section gun had been taken by.
D battery of this regiment, 80 we
had TO take their guns and after ar
irving ON the front D battery gun
blew up-the one they had taken Of
killing several men, but the
enc we had taken of theirs was one of
the beat guns in the regiment. All
through the fight It was always ready
to shoot, and we were often called on
ct minutes notice to fire on an ac-
tive German battery or some moving
target, such as troops coming up
from the rear to the trenches.

CITY POLITICS

Tomorrow the town OF Raymer se-
Iects its first city officials. A caucus
was held last Thursday evening and
the Judgment of that caucus was
expressed for the following men for
the various Offices:
For Mayor, Louis Allen.
For three trustees, for one year.

J. N. Quinn;
Three trustees for two years,

TO wateh some one else perform the
duties trustee than TO be a party

However. We hear some rumorz
OF pledges TO grant special privileges
and franchises. We do not know OF
any pledges made, we know that the
writer has not even been approached
on the subject, and we believe other
candidates when they say they have
made no pledges.
The matter OF a franchise for the
electric light lines now being con-
strueted. may easily be verv I'M

Quown a reasonable chance to dem
onstrate what he can do in the way
OF furnishing satisfactory service al

such an attitude is fair to Mr.. Nc
Quown and fair to the town.
Mr. McQuown has gone ahead and
taken a chance in advance OF an op.
portuntty to make any arrangements
with anyone with authority to bind
the town. This does not give him
any strings for franchise; but II
he can and does furnish us as satis-

FIRST HUMANS BLACK HAIRED
Interesting Theory Formulated By
American Expert on Conditions In
the Tropical Regions.

Lieut.. Col. Charles Il. Woodruff.
whose long experience rs shIef medl-
cal officer Of the American army In the
Philippines makes him an expert on
tropical conditions. has written book
called Medical Hhnology.' In which
he advances some interesting theories
on dark-skinned and white-skInned
races. The Lancet, In reviewing the
book. says:
"The author holds that the first hu-
man beings were black haired animals
but not black skinned. as their seat Of
development must have been In cold
country where conditions of life were
hard. necessitating great develop
ment Of brain. since only the most In
telligent could survive. They were
originally caye-dwellers. After time,
when the earth wus largely peopled
with this race, there arose large
blond type In northern Enrore--Nietz-
sche's blond beast" the Tcutonic su-
perman-who established himself In u
dominating position In many countries
by right Of conquest.
ITO this race belonged the ancient
Greeks, the original Romans. the rul-
ing race In Egypt, and so forth. Un-
fortunately this type tends to die out
when II migrates from Its native eli
mate. and SO In time the Romans died
out and their empire fell to pieces and
the glorious period Of the Greek INTEL
lect was short-lived. In the same way
white races fail at the present day 10
establish themselves permanently in
tropical climates"
The Lancet quotes also some of
Colonel Woodruff's opinions on the ef-
feet Of light. which he considers al
most wholly harmful to white men.
'The dark skin Of tropical race.
serves as protection by cutting OF
the rays Of light: II also assists the
body In radiating heat, but at the
same time favors absorption from n
hot environment, so that dark races
stand such heat as that Of stokehole
worse than lght-skinned people.
Contrary to common opinion, the
author holds that bright light Is bad
for children at school, rendering them
restless and irritable. The neurasthe-
MIA which affects white residents In the
Il
tropics and their children is due. he
considers, largely to excessive light,
dded doubtless by high temperature"
