MANY APPLY FOR BONDS OF COMING LOAN People Understand Value oi Government Securities Paying Good Interest. That Wayne county's campaign for the sale of the third Liberty Loan bonds will be as successful as the two previous campaigns, is indicated from reports received from all of the townships. One of the surface indications is the fact that a number of the banks in

Richmond, as well as in other towns i of the county, have already on file applications from their patrons fori Liberty Donds, while inquiries concerning the issue are very numerous. . During previous campaigns it was found necessary here and elsewhere to pay more or less attention to the educational features, there being thousands of men and women who never before had purchased securities of any kind and were, therefore, not familiar with attractive features of government bonds. . People Understand Issue. . This time there will be little to do along this line. The great maiority of people have learned that a non-taxable government bond, bearing 4 per cent Interest, payable semi-annually, Is worth owning and consequently the demand for the Third issue promises to ' exceed that of the previous ones. Application blanks have no as yet been received ' by the banks or the Wnyne county committee, but this fact! loes not hinder persons wno propose buying Liberty Bonds from making iheir arrangements with their bankers in advance. Advertising matter in the form of beautiful lithographs and booklets have been shipped from Chicago to the Wayne county committee accordIns; to advices received today. The committee has been informed, however, that none of this matter can be displayed previous to April 6 the day for the opening of the campaign throughout the country. A coat which was bought thirty years ago, in England by a man who is now a resident of Richmond, Is going back over the ocean this time to Belgium, where it 'will be used for the unfortunates near the German lines. The coat is in splendid condition in spite of its age, and the cloth 13 without a defect. Contributions from boys who are "going over," and from others who find that their only aid in the war is giving to every patriotic movement, are being received at the rooms at 14 North Ninth streetwhere collections cf clothing are being made for the people of occupied France and Belglum. The rooms will be opened until Saturday, and persons having garments which they wish to contribute may bring them to the rooms or call telephone No. 2807 and they will be called for. The garments will he hipped to Cleveland and there will he repaired before they are sent over to France and Belgium. The women in charge of the room here are repairing clothing sent in so that they will be in excellent condition for immediate shipment. A large supply of garments has ben received for grownups, but baby clothes are still needed, the women in charge of the rooms said Thursday. The following bulletin was issued by the Red Cross Thursday in connection with the campaign for clothing: "In the north of France and Belgium sacks stuffed with dry leaves serve as mattresses; everywhere the need for blankets is tremendous, hospitals and other institutions suffer from want of Fheets. In some places whole families ; sleep together to ahare a single blanket. !. "It should he remembered that this a need of all the people, not only the !oor. !f money were available In arge quantities it would do no good for there are no raw materials for Bale, and the stock of mado-up gar- - ments i3 long since exhausted.

ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN WAR WORKERS OF WAYNE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The woman's division of the Wayne County Council of Defense held several meetings Thursday afternoon at the Commercial club. At 2:30 o'clock the War Mothers of Wayne county with Mrs. A.-W. Roach Wayne county's official war mother was in session. Mrs. Edgar F. Miatt, city chairman of the Liberty Loan campaign, met her ward chairman at 3:30 o'clock. Mrs. Paul Ross chairman of the woman's census for Wayne county met her captains at 4 o'clock and explained the work. Mrs. Ross has issued tho following explanation: 1. To give every woman an opportunity to offer to her country such service as she is best fitted to render. 2. To interpret to the government the possibilities of the woman power of the country. ' ' 3. To furnish accurate information to the government of the capacities in which women are now serving, whether in their own homes or in paid pursuits, trades or professions. 4. To have in every community lists of women carefully classified who'ae willing to be called upon for trained or untrained service to the State or Nation. 5. To ascertain which women are available for service outside their homes and which are not. 6. To list the women who wish to take training In order to give more efficient service. 7. To be able to furnish women for salaried positions, whether In Government service or not. 8. To be able to place women who can volunteer their service In positions of usefulness In many fields. 9. To have a registry of the capacities and training of the women of the country as the basis of the work of the Women's Committee of the Council of National Defense. Points to Be Emphasized. Registration is voluntary; women will not be drafted into the Government service. Women will not be taken from their homes for Government service here or In Europe, unless they definitely offer themselves for such service. If a woman registers as trained and capable of self-support, this will not give cause for her husband to be drafted. If a woman registers for service at this time, and when called later finds

Registration Information for Voters

By L. S. BOWMAN County Board of Registration The County Board of Registration shall be composed of the County Clerk and two others appointed by the Clerk, one from each of the two leading political parties, upon the recommendation of the county chairmen of the two leading political parties of the county. The present board is composed of Michael W. Kelly, County Clerk, Demas S. Coe and L. A. Handley. Board of Registration The new law provides for only one registration board for the entire county, composed of a chief clerk of registration and a deputy clerk of regstration. The chief clerk may be nominated by the chairman of the political party casting the highest number of votes in the county, and the deputy clerk by the chairman of the party casting the second highest number of votes in the county, at the last general election. The appointments made for the registration of 1918 are as follows: Republican. Edgar Norris, Democrat Orla F. McKee. Such other assistant clerks shall be employed as may be found necessary. The salary of the clerks already appointed has been fixed by the Board in Wayne County at $4 per day. Location of the Board The registration board will be located In the County Clerk's office in the Court house in the city of Richmond. The board shall be in session from the second Monday in April until the first Monday in October. The board shall be in session from 8 o'clock a. m., until 5 o'clocki p. m., each day. Manner of Registration The voter may register in the following manner: 1. By delivering his ' application to the board while in session, in person. 2. By mailing his application properly filled out. and sworn to before some officer authorized to f.dminlster oaths. 3. By sending his application properly filled out, to the honrd by a messenger. . " ' 4. By delivering his application properly filled out and sworn to before some officer authorized to administer oaths to the Inspector of the primary election board on the day of the primary. Moving From One Precinct to AnotherA voter who has registered and thereafter moves into another ' precinct in the county, in order to be entitled to vote shall re-register and the board shall cancel the former registration. A voter who has registered and moves to another county is required to procure a certified copy of his former registration from the county clerk and present same to the registration Two Lutheran Churches , . Will Confirm Classes Classes will he confirmed on Palm Sunday. Mtrch 2, by the Lutheran churches of the city.At St. Paul's Lutheran, church, a class of eleven young people will be confirmed at the morning service. The following are members of the class: Roland A. Loehr, Eldred C. Klute, John W. Getz, Charges T. Brehm, Robert E. Klute, Ruth E. Hassemeier, Pauline McPherson. Emeline L. Wagner, Marie E. Bennett, Clara A, Schneider and Elsie E. Hartman. A class of twelve will be confirmed at St. John's church Sunday morning, and in the evening a reunion service will he held of the classes who have been confirmed by the present pastor. The class which is to be confirmed on Palm Sunday includes John Becher, Frederick Frauman, Elmer Fulle, Albert Hackman, Oscar Hartman, Carl Kauper, Paul Kramer, Carl Lohman, Harry Martlng, Rudolph Oelkhaus, Garthe Pilgrim and Jeannette Eruenlng. The class which will be confirmed at the First English Lutheran church will not be determined until following the examination Saturday. A class of five or six is expected. !

herself unable, by changed conditions, to respond to the call, no punishment or criticism will fall upon her, nor will She be compelled to serve. Women will not be required to give their exact age, but are advised to do 6o, as certain Government positions are only open to women between certain ages. t , It is hoped that Indiana's drive will put her out in front, where so stands in practically all other war activities. The former registration, cards do not answer the requirements of the present time, and it is hoped to make this registration complete, in every particular. , The housewife and mother the home-maker is performing in her place, and in the proper way, a very definite, patriotic duty, which Is not to be disturbed. , The mother and home-maker, with her hands full of household cares will register and be classified with the other patriotic women, hut will not in any case be called on to lay down those fundamentals, in order . to take on purely war tasks. She will be credited with such Red Cross or other work as Bhe is able to do in addition to her household business.. The fact that a woman is busy as a home-maker does not relieve her from the duty of registering as a patriotic dutv and as a Datriot in her nroDer

classification, in order that the federal government may know she 13 on the home job, helping to make the nation safe by a full observance of war-time rules and requirements. The enrollment of women will help every woman to grasp her opportunity to serve her country. The demand of the hour is for a uniform, systematic', constructive utilization of the woman power of the country, and it can reach its highest efficiency, only when it includes each woman capable of thought and action. As larger groups of men are called Into service, women will be needed, not only to work, but to direct and control large enterprises, both for civil and military authorities. Therefore wisdom demands that we face this fact and prepare for it. Preparedness for war is not limited to the mere equipment of soldiers in the field, but concerns the whole life of the nation at war. board of the county to which he has removed. . The radical change In the new law is that it provides for only one cen tral registration board in the entire county instead of a board in each of the sixty-five precincts. It also calls for a continuous session of the board for a period of six months instead of sessions of one or two days' duration as heretofore. . It will not be necessary to be registered in order to vote at the primary election. Paving Project Discussed by Two Committees Richmond boosters interested in the paving or South Eighth and South Ninth streets held a meeting at the Arlington hotel Thursday to discuss the matter. Representatives from the civic organizations including members of a committee of the Commercial club appointed by Secretary Albus, South Side Improvement Association, Board of public Works, Mayor W. W. Zimmerman, City Engineer Davis and City Attorney Eryam Rohbins, were in attendance. . . Will Bockhoff, of the National Automatic Tool company, addressed the meeting.

JOHN A. EVANS FOILS CROOKS IN FLORIDA CONFIDENCE GAME

The old pocketbook confidence game which has been successful in causing more than one fortune to change hands, did not have the usual results when a group of "sharkers" tried to use it on John A. Evans of the Quaker City Machine works, during his stay in Florida. Mr. Evans has just returned from the south, and has been relating to friends his narrow escape at the bands of a ring of confidence men who have been working with the Florida tourists. A tourist in Florida this" week lost $S,00O In the same game which was unsuccessful with Mr. Evans. A man who called himself Mr. Burton made Mr. Evans acquaintance on a ship on which he was taking a trip on the St John's- river from Jacksonville, Fla., to Orlando. Mr. Burton was a very agreeable young man who 6ald he was interested in real estate. , How the Plot Worked. They made the 'trip to Orlando together and stopped at the same hotel. Then the plot thickened. Mr. Burton wished to go out and look at the real estate along the lake. Mr. Evans accompanied him to the lakei When they were returning along the drive, thev saw a Docketbook. Mr. Evans picked up the pocketbook j and found that it contained a fifty dol lar bill, a telegram in code, a letter from a broker, some newspaper clippings, and a letter cautioning the owner not to let his dealings get Into the newspapers. Then the owner of the pocketbook came down the path. Mr. Evans returned his property and was effusively thanked. The owner of the pocketbook, who said his name was Maxwell, became confidential at once with Mr. Evans, whom he recognized as an honest man. He was representing a Chicago brokerage firm that was connected with the Morgan company of New York, he said, and he never lost on the stock exchange hecause his firm controlled the market. Suggests Investment. He wanted to do something for Mr. Evans. He appreciated his finding his pocketbook, he said, because if the newspapers got wind of his dealings, he would not be permitted to stay In Orlando. He was very anxious to do something for the man who had found his papers. He had an inspirationhe would invest the $50 which was in the pocketbook in the stock 'exchange and Mr. Evans should have the profit. He invested the $50 and came back with $200 the winnings of one deal on the stock exchange. He showed the men $10,000 which he said he was sending in to his firm as one day's profit. Mr. Maxwell showed a decided pref erence for the comparfy of the two men. If he made a profit for, them with the earning of the $50, he took it back and Invested it again: He took them into his confidence and told them that if he just had a little money he would clean up something for Armenians Massacred by Turkish Soldiers BERNE, SWITZERLAND, Saturday, March 16-r-Reports r received here from fifteen points in Asiatic Turkey by William N. . Chambers, representative of the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, corroborate recent advices respecting new massacres on a large scale by the Turks. "From reliable sources I understand that the situation in the districts being occupied by the Turks is terrible," said Mr. Chambers today. "On the pretext that Armenian bands are at work, the Turks are carrying out general and bloody reprisals. There is serious apprehension that similar atrocities are being begun in the Caucasus."

himself, hut his firm would , not let him go into dealings "on his own'.'He wondered if Mr, Evans would object to his using his name. Mr. Evans would not. So the broker went into the stock exchange and plunged to the extent of $25,000 under the name of John C. Evans He came back and tcld Mr. Evans about it and offered to take him to the stock exchange. When they reached the building another pleasant young man appeared. He said he was the manager of the stock exchange. '.. A . deal had been made under the name of John Evans, he said, but Mr. Evans had no rating in the Florida banks. The deal was going to net him $50,000, he told Maxwell, but he would have to put up the required ; $25,000 first. He promised to hold the deal open until the next day. , . :. Raise the Money The three men held a conference. Maxwell discussed ways and means of raising the money. He wired a multimillionaire in Chicago only to learn that the multi-milliOnaire had left unexpectedly for Japan. Then there was only one thing to do, he said. They would raise the money themselves.

Burton was willing, even anxious. He could raise $10,000, he said, and Mr. Evans surely could raise $15,000. Mr. Evans, who began to grow suspicious, said that he could not raise that much in Florida. They urged him tO; go back to Richmond and mortgage his factory, promising to hold the deal open for a week. - Evans Springs Joke Then came the anti-climax. Mr. Evans refused to "fall," He told Mr. Burton that he thought Maxwell and the other were a couple of grafters, and that he was not going to Invest any money with them. Burton was shocked and pained. He would not have anything to do with them, either, he said. They decided to leave the next morning for Miami, Fla. Burton played the game to the end, and even appeared at the train as if intending to go off with his friend. As the train pulled out, however, he discovered that his luggage was missing. He disappeared after the luggagf , and from all evidences rejoined the men with whom he had been working in partnership. 33 MEN WANTED TO WORK IN GREENHOUSE Apply to THE E. G. HILL CO. Sloes
