transport carrying tanks and
ammunition from New York to
the Russian front, damaged a
British cruiser and lost one Ger
man destroyer, the high COM
mand said today.
The scene of the action appar-
emily was the Arctic Ocean OF
North Cape, and the naval battle
occurred in dawn blizzard the
day after an aerial attack on the
convoy which the high command
said yesterday caused heavy dam
age to British destroyer and four
merchantmen.

que declared, "a naval battle de-
veloped with strong, superior enemy
guarding forces which consisted OF
cruisers and destroyers.
Destroyer Crew Saved.

artillery duels"
The eommunique did not
identify the German destroyer

marines and men o war to cut

Made by Disabled Vets
Be Worn by Millions

PoppieS in honor of the men who
have given their lives for America
will glow on the lapels of millions
of Americans on Poppy Day to-
morrow
This year the peoples will bring
the inspiring memories of the men
who fell on the victorious battle
fields of the first World War to
help steel the nation for the sac
rifices of today's struggle The pop
pies also will give everyone an OPP
portunity to contribute to the well
fare of the disabled veterans of
both wars, their families and the
families of the dead.
All through the winter and spring
many hundreds Of disabled veterans
have been working under the di-
rection of the American Legion
Auxiliary making the 100000
peoples that will be needed on
Poppy Day. They have worked at
their beds or in the occupational
therapy departments in sc govern
ment hospitals located in every
part of the country. Many who are
not confined to hospitals yet are
unable to do other work have been
given employment in four special
poppy workrooms maintained by
the Auxiliary
The work has been carefully ra-
toned to spread it among as many
veterans as possible. Preference has
been given to those receiving little
or no government compensation
and to those with dependent fam
lilies. Making the little paper flow
ers has brought earnings of APP
proximately $4,000 to these vet
Grams, besides providing them with
an interesting occupation to bright
en- their hospital or convalescent
days.
To distribute the peoples on
Poppy Day, the Auxiliary has or
ganized an army of 100000 volun-
teers, largely from its own ranks.
These women will serve without
pay, offering the poppies from early
morning until night on the streets
of cities and towns throughout the
country. Every penny of the dimes,
their contribution boxes will go into
quarters and dollars dropped into
the welfare and rehabilitation funds
OF the Legion and Auxiliary and
will help support Legion and Aux
iliary work for the war needy dur
ing the year ahead.
Nearly all Auxiliary Units have
ordered more poppies than ever be-
rice, anticipating increased re-
Spouse from the public to the
poppy appeal. New casualty lists
coming from the widespread COM
bat zones of this war have Civ
en- increased significance to the lit
tie red memorial flower and in
creased need for the poppy funds.

ing called upon to use their long
experience in aiding veterans and
dependent families to aid victims of
the present conflict. generous con-
tributions from everyone on Poppy
Day are needed
The Juneau committee of the
local unit has completed the poppy
wreaths and they have been deliv-
cred to all local business houses,
said Mrs. Ray G. Day, Poppy Day
Chairman.
Mrs. Day also requests that all
Auxiliary members turn out and
