Body Which Cares for Dependants of Sailors Needs Funds.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 An appeal to the millions of people In the Middle West for co-operation during the national emergency In the work of the Navy Relief Society was made here today. Issued by the officers of the Great Lakes Auxiliary of the organization It was directed especially to the club women, patriotic and drio workers, and state, municipal and other officials of Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri. Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota. Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska. The launching of an intensive campaign for civilian memberships followed a meeting of the officers and board of managers of the Great Lakes Auxiliary of the Navy Relief Society. Heretofore, as Mrs. W. A. Moffett, president of the auxiliary and wife of the commandant of the United States Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, 111., pointed out, It has been unnecessary to seek civilian and- membership. With the exception of a few life members, membership has been confined to men in the service. The demands of the war, however, she said, have necessitated the expansion of the society and the establishment of the "Great Lakes Auxiliary' as the active body for the states of the Central West. She urged the establishment of state, city and town chapters In the 13 states. Mrs. Moffett Will Help The appeal requested the co-opera-tlno in the organization of women in every community in the Middle West and women Interested in such patriotic work are urged to communicate with Mrs. Moffett, who promises to provide them with detailed plans for organization, together with literature and other necessary advertising matter. The society was organized in 1904 by the late Admiral of the Navy, George Dewey, for the purpose of caring for those needy widows, orphans and mothers of officers and enlisted men in the Navy or Marine Corps who die In service. It has the co-operation of the bureau of naviga

tion and of the surgeon-general of

the Navy and its work Is directed vol

untarily by Navy officers.

As explained by Lieutenant J. Allen Haines, (J. G.) TJ. S. N. R. F., who is executive secretary of the auxiliary

the organization maintains an office in the Navy building at Washington to which reports of all deaths and disasters to men on ships of the Navy are sent immediately upon their receipt by the department Through the organization, the local committee in a man's home community is in touch with the surviving members of his family within twelve hours and their Immediate needs are cared for. Later permanent relief is given. In Peace Time as Well The organization differs from other war relief bodies, he pointed out, in that it cares for the families of officers and enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps in time of peace as well as in war. Mrs W. A. Moffett, president of the Great Lakes Auxiliary, pointed out that among its undertakings are Immediate financial relief for dependents and continued monthly allotments until such time as the family can be put on a permanent self-sustaining basis. Women who have no means of support are taught vocations end- assistance is given in the obtaining of pensions and orphaned children are educated and placed in homes. She asserted that practically every man in the Navy is now a member, but that relief is given in every necessary case, regardless of membership In the society. The appeal issued today said;, "With the nation involved in war an organization is necessary, the tentacles of which shall radiate like the spokes of a wheel, reaching every hamlet and every home in the Middle West. In this way only can the men who offer their lives to their country

A storm held up the British onslaught on the Germans yesterday, but they consolidated most of their guns, though counter-attacks cost them some of the reconquered terrain. One of the greatest flanking operations in history is being attempted by the British between Dixmude and Armetieres (1), where their recent attacks netted great gains. Near Ypres (2) German counter-attacks recovered St. Julien and most of Westhoek. There were other slight changes in the line, British and French advancing.

. THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Isn't it amazing how fast the automobile is conquering this country? At the present rate there appears to be no way of escape. Your turn will come. One of these days there will be a car at your door and the fellow at the wheel will be you. And why not? Owning a car is a good thing.

The only means we had was to trudge the streets seeking "To Let" signs a very discouraging and provoking method indeed fine business for the chiropodist who doctored our sore feet after a day at it but heart-breaking and souring to the home-seeker But Oh!
