"Congress authorized the issue of two billions of bonds for war preparations. 'The bond issue will be a failure,' croaked a few pessimists. Their croaking was .drowned by the multitude of voices offering hard won-sav-ings as freely as surplus wealth.

More was Given. "Upon the heels of this unprece-J dented investment the Red Cross society launched a campaign to raise an hundred million dollars for that beneficent world wide work of mercy. 'It is impossible' was the comment of a few. The faith of the noble men and women with vision was more than Justified when more was given than had been asked.

the organization. The letter follows

"My dear Mr. Scidel: "The call of America for a Red Cross War Fund in her greatest, crisis has- been answered. Men and women of every nationality and station in life have contributed alike to its success. The War Council cannot directly express appreciation to every person who has rendered service to this great movement, but the success of the campaign would be incomplete were we to fail to convey personally our regard for the splendid service rendered by the men and women of Richmond. "The tangible results accruing from this campaign, great as they are, will be less than the intangible benefits just as material gifts are small in comparison with the giving of self. It is the spirit of an army that wins battles, and the spirit of our citizens Is what will determine our . country's future."

COPPOCK DISPLEASED AT WAYNE'S RECORD

"I am surprised at the lack of response to the recruiting campaign in Wayne and Union counties," said Captain Edward Coppock, head of the recruiting department of the . state, Thursday. Captain Coppock is on a trip of inspection through this district, and will be in Richmond until Friday. Boy scouts, the Ohio xJlitiamen on duty here, and a fife and drum corps will again endeavor to stir the patriotic spirit . among Richmond young men Thursday -evening. -Any. fraternal organization that wishes to help

will be welcomed by Sergeant Warner, i anhore.

FOREST FIRES DESTROY TIMBER IN ARIZONA

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. June 28. Forest fires in the Chiricahua forests reservation during the last week have destroyed much valuable timber and today they were not under control. Two hundred soldiers on the reservation are making efforts to save from destruction the large tracts of timber in Mormon and Rucker Canyons.

Not until the transports had safely arrived off this port, ready for the men to disembark, did the momentous news become known. Then the people here simply "went wild." : - The-first transport stuck her gray nose into the harbor in the early morning. . The piers were swarming v ith ' thousands of persons. Of, men there were few, of course, only aged and wounded; the others are at the front. The ralization that these newcomers are shortly to fight side by side with the men of this port, who are

The resolution, after pointing out that a great national emergency now exists in the coal supply and that the coal operators and miners desire closely to operate with the government recommends: Text of Resolution. "Resolved. That it is the sense of the meeting that a committee of seven from each coal producing state and an additional committee of seven appointed by the representatives of the

anthracite industries be appointed by

the representative of each state now attending this convention to confer with the secretary of the interior, the Federal Trade commission and the committee on coal production of the Council of National Defense to the end that production be stimulated and plans be perfected to supply adequate means of distribution and further, that these committees report forthwith to the secretary of the interior, the federal trade committee and the committee on coal production of the Council of National Defense, costs of and conditions surrounding the production and

Ship after ship slipped into her berth, discharging men and equipment. Confusion seemed an unknown quantity to these khaki-clad youths and their officers. ' From the piers the American troops

swung off through the streets of this port, where the whole populace had turned out to give them a tremendous ovation. The crowds showered flowers, fruits, cigarettes and dainties upon the marchers. "Vive L'Amerique" was an unending crv. And as proof that but one con

those cheering thousands this shout was repeated over and over again: "You'll chase the Germans out of cur country," "We will!" came the thunderous chorus from the boys Their reception . and progress through the city were one great triumphal: march. .

B. cars at mines in the various districts as may be named by the secretary of the interior, the federal trade commission and the committee on coal production of the Council of National Defense." Adopted Unanimously. The resolution ' was . unanimously adopted. It was a revision of a former resolution recalled because of fear that questions might be raised as to the legality of the operators agreeing on the price even though at the instance of the government Attorney General Gregory having sent word that R. Colton Lewis, special assistant attorney general who had been conferring with the operators had no right or authority to outline what the government policy might be. Saving Will Be Enormous. About 600,000,000 tons of coal were mined in this country last year and Secretary Lane who has earnestly urged a reduction believes that the saving to the American people will be enormous. After hearing of the operator's action he wrote the following letter to F. S. Peabody, chairman of the coal production committee who has been in constant conference . with the operators. "I have just learned of the action of the coal operators and I wish to ex

press my appreciation of the generous

and prompt and patriotic manner in which they acted."

Continued From Page One. tion a rebuke to President Wilson but a triumph for his administration. It says: . .. "It is most earnestly, to be hoped that wherever the story of this byelection goes, there also will the lesson of its meaning be carried ; for it is of the highest importance to have it fully understood hqw the Republicans won this fight by their decision to stand

by the government in war time and by j their policy of attacking their Demo-i cratic opponent for his pacifist and anti-preparedness record. "If is a pitiful thing that President

Wilson weakly yielded to solicitations and gave out a letter in Gray's favor. He might far better have given a letter to Elliott and then he might truthfully have claimed a victory now out of a result which is a personal rebuke to him, though a triumph for the government and even for his administration. . . Blames Use of Money . The Newcastle Times, owned by W. S. Chambers, Democratic district chairman, says: "The result of the special election has no significance one way of another, excepting to show what organization can accomplish. . . . There was no excuse for the Republicans not carrying the district by 5,000 with all the money and solid

state organization behind the cam

paign. . . There is nothing in this

campaign to discourage any Democrat

as it was simply a question or wnicn

party had tne most siay-ai-nome

voters."

The Indianapolis News applauds the voters of the district for again re

pudiating Gray. This paper remarks:

"The people of the Sixth district yesterday chose Richard N. Elliott as

their representative in congress by a plurality of more than 2,800, as against

one of 718 for Judge ComstocK last November. -The people were wise in preferring Mr. Elliott to former Congressman Finly Gray. Indeed, the nomination of Gray by the Democrats was almost -equivalent to a confession of defeat in advance. It was foolish to suppose that a man who could not win in a presidential year, when party lines were strictly drawn, could win

in a special election In which a large opportunity..was offered, for -Independent voting. Besides. Mr. Gray had made a record In the congress which not even the Indorsement of President Wilson which ought not. in our opinion, to have been - givenrr-could gild. In, the three terms that he served, Mr. pray made no impression on the congress or the country, and evidently little on the people of the district. , 'Says Wilson Erred.' The Muncie Press in a curt editorial declares President, Wilson) made a mistake in indorsing Gray. "The sixth district political leaders who Insisted : on President Wilson writing a party campaign letter as a feature of the special congressional campaign did the chief executive no favor," says the Press.. v "The election here clearly demonstrated that the Democrats themselves did not want Finly Gray back in congress," declares the Rushville Republican. The Connersvfile News says the effect of President Wilson's "bit for Gray is illustrated by the result of the election. "The reason it bad no effect was twofold," the News adds. "Mr. Gray's record in congress ; was in many instances against the president policies. - : : Elliott is Patriot . . ; "But the chief reason was that the Republicans In congress are working as hard. If not harder, for-the-president's war policies than his own party members, and those who know Mr. Elliott know he is a patriot and can
