Red Cross Notes

There is still a supply of helmet yarn at the Red Cross rooms which can be obtained at any time; but the sock yarn supply is exhausted. Are you wearing a Red Cross armband, headress, or uniform which you have not been authorized to wear? With the passage of a late law such an act has been made not only one of bad taste but contrary to law. The Wayne County Chapter of the American Red Cross has been instructed to see that the law is followed with the strictest conformity possible. In no case should uniforms unauthorized by the Division Manager of the Red Cross bear the Red Cross insignia; by insignia is meant the Red Cross dr the letters A. R. C. This announcement is made imperative by the growing tendancy on the part of members of branches and auxiliaries to wear uniforms of original design. A few exceptions have been made in regard to the use of Red Cross symbols for advertising purposes, which is now prohibited by law. Some concerns had such large amounts of advertising material on hand that it was deemed desirable to make exceptions in these cases. No other companies may use such symbols. Persons wishing to give benefits for the Red Cross should make arrangements with local chapter before doing so. This does not mean that the Red Cross does not desire co-operation in any good means of raising funds. Do not make your socks too short. Word has been received from the National headuarters and also from the local inspectors that some socks are coming in too short, and with the feet of uneven length. The local chapter, therefore has been asked to accept nothing less than a foot. Sizes 104 to 12 are acceptable. On account of the durability and comfort of the hand made socks, it is being urged that they be given precedence. It is recommended to chapters that have machines that they knit 10 inches of the leg on the machine and then give the socks out to be finished by hand. This method will insure an inch of hand knitting before beginning the heel. Cautions should also be given about the toe. Socks should never be closed at the toe with less than 20 stitches on the needles. In placing the labels on the socks the cult should be stretched before sewing. DOG TAXES DUE. Dog taxes must be paid at once at the township trustee's office. If not paid the case will be taken to the prosecutor. variolic articles needed for canning CATCH HIM The season will be complete only when every jar does its duty.

"Hold Fast" Lloyd-George Tells English in Message

. LONDON. Aug. 6. "Hold fast," was the keynote of a message to the British empire by Premier David Lloyd George and promulgated in a drastic way through the kingdom at the hour of 9 o'clock Monday night. The message was read to the audiences in all theaters, concert, halls and other places where people were assembled, including moving picture houses. Sealed copies of the message had been distributed to the managers of all these places, with the request that they open and read it at 9 o'clock. The message follows: "The message which I send to the people of the British empire on the fourth anniversary of the entry into the war is: 'Hold fast!' "We are in this war for no selfish ends. We are in it to recover freedom for the nations which have been brutally attacked and despoiled, and to prove that no people, however powerful, can surrender itself to the lawless ambitions of militarism without meeting retribution, swift, certain and disastrous, at the hands of the free nations of the world. To stop short of victory for this cause would be to cimpromise the future of mankind. "I say 'Hold fast,' because our prospects of victory have never been so bright as they are today. Six months ago the rulers of Germany deliberate j Court Records PETITION FOR GUARDIAN. A petition has been filed in the circuit court by Minnie E. Young for a guardian to be appointed for Elizabeth A. Roberts, who the plaintiff asserts, is of unsound mind. FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE. Lulu Early has filed a petition in the circuit court for divorce and a change of name from John Early, charging with him abandonment and failure to provide. COMPLAINT CHARGES CRUELTY. A divorce was granted in circuit court Tuesday morning to Sarah Crawford from William Crawford on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Ray K. Shively sat as special judge. Army Training Camp Needs Automobile Parts Automobile carburetors and ignition systems are needed at the Training camp. If any one in Richmond or vicinity has one of either of these which could be loaned for the men to work on, the camp will be glad to send for it. To follow up their work well the men must have parts on which to work, and all the assistance which can be given will not only be a favor put a patriotic help. IMPROVE OFFER TO DUTCH THE HAGUE, Aug. 6 The American and British ministers on July 30, addressed a note to foreign minister London containing amplification of and improvement on the offers already mado concerning the indemnification for or replacement of requisitioned Dutch vessels in case of loss.

information of military value. The upper left-hand picture shows British intelligence officers quizzing two prisoners. The taller prisoner is a German and the shorter one a German Fole. The allied men in the trenches ly rejected the just and reasonable settlement proposed by the allies. Throwing aside the last mask of moderation they partitioned Russia, enslaved Roumania, and attempted to seize supreme power by overthrowing the .allies in a final and desperate attack. Thanks to the invincible bravery of all the allied armies, it is now evident to all that this dream of universal conquest, for the sake of which they wantonly prolonged the war, can never be fulfilled. "But the battle is not yet won. The great autocracy of Prussia will still endeavor, by violence or guile, to avoid defeat and so give militarism a new lease of life. We cannot seek to escape the horrors of war for ourselves by laying them up for our children. Having set our hands to the task, we must see it through till a just and lasting settlement is achieved. "In no other way can we endure a world set free from war.'Hold fast.' "LLOYD GEORGE." GAY CHINTZ SMOCK FOR GARDEN WEAR This outfit, which is being shown by a New York house, combines all the qualities of an attractive and comfortable garment. A gaily flowered chintz smock worn over buttoned knee breeches is something very smart and new for garden wear. The heavy socks and low, flat-heeled oxfords are very practical for actual garden or farm work. Such socks are a real comfort when picking berries, for they protect the legs from scratches.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 6. A large number of manufacturers In Indiana engaged in war work, have neglected to mail in to L. C. Huesmann, federal labor director, reports covering their common labor requirements. A renewed appeal has been made that they file reports promptly with Mr. Huesmann, as otherwise the state "may be called upon for labor which should be retained at home." In reference to the prohibition

against the private recruiting of unskilled . labor except under the direction of the U. S. Employment Service, the following resolution of the Wrar Industries board is made public today by the Employment service: "Be it resolved by the War Industries board, that the practice of manufacturers using competitive peace-time methods in the procurement of labor, resulting in the withdrawal of labor from war Industries, is strongly disapproved, and hereafter this board through its priority division, will in proper cases withold priority assistance from employers who persist in pursuing such methods." It is announced by the Employment Service that in order that the service may be as effective as possible, it is highly important that each employer engaged in war work, keep the local ! office of the U. S. Employment Service informed from day to day of his actual needs for unskilled labor. Special rules have been promulgated governing private labor recruiting to which all employers must conform if they desire the protection of the Service and the Department of Labor.. A special regulation in reference to employers in non-war work follows: "Non-war industries should not offer superior inducements or in any other way undertake to compete for labor -with the government or with employ ers engaged in war work. Observance of the letter and spirit of this provision is necessary for the efficient prosecution of the war. Methods of recruiting and of advertising which do not offend against it are permitted."
