DETROIT, April 24.—State, county
and government officials are seem
ingly agreed that the soil of Mich!
gan is today hiding more money, coir
fti»4 currency, than it has held foi
several years.
German propaganda is the reason
Despite the efforts of government
agents and of newspapers to assure
persons of Teutonic extraction that
their property will not be seized, there
has been a noticeable shrinkage in the
savings deposits of some of these peo
pie in various sections of Michigan.
The mistaken fear, it is believed
has proved contagious in one or twc
districts which have a heavy foreign
population. Hard-earned savings
which usually were hidden at home
in the days before the government
postal savings system was instituted
have been going back to the soil.
Government agents have been en
listing the assistance of patriotic citi
zens to combat this German propa
ganda.
For several months, however, signs
of hoarding have increased, particu
larly since the government began to
take over the property of certain Ger
man corporations in the East.
One incident was reported at Ypsi
lanti, in Washtenaw county, near De
troit, which illustrates the situation.
A farmer and his two sons drew their
entire savings, about $7,000, from a
Ypsilanti bank. The father buried the
money and then forgot the hiding
place. After several days he located
the wealth and returned with it to
Ypsilanti, where he told the bank
cashier of his act.
“I had a tip that the government
was going to confiscate the savings
of all German-Americans,” the farmer
said.
When he was told that such rumors
were the work of spies, and that
many patriotic, persons of German lin
eage had large sums of money on
deposit, the farmer put the money
back in the bank.
Then he went home and slept
soundly for the first time in a week.

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
Interminable folds of gauze
For those whom w'e shall never see.
Remember when your fingers pause
That every drop of blood to stain
This whiteness falls for you and me.
Part of the price that keeps us free
To serve our own, that keeps us clean
From shame that other women know.
Oh, saviors we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are so slow!
Ood—if that blood should cry in vain
And we have let our moment go!

PORTLAND, April 24.—Forty thou
sand members will be added to the
Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumber
men, it is estimated, by the organiza
tion of the Inland Empire division,!
which hag begun under the leadership
of commissioned officers of the Unlt-I
ed States army, from the command
of Colonel Brice P. Disque, head of
the spruce division of the signal
corps.
Organization of the legion in the
logging camps and sawmills of the
sine manufacturing districts of the1
Inland Empire was deferred until the!
work was completed in the coast dis-J
tricts of Washington and Oregon,!
where 70,000 men engaged in getting
out spruce and fir for airplane con-j
struction have enrolled. Requests for:
organizers to begin work in the lu
ll nd Empire came to Colonel Disquej
i':ora both employes and operators of
the pine districts, who saw in thej
Loyal Legion the most practical
method for concentrating patriotic 1
effort to a common end.
That the pine product is used
largely for war purposes was pointed
out to Colonel Disque by those who!
urged him to hasten the organization'
work. Not only does the pine lumberj
go into cantonment construction and
the manufacture of ammunition cases,
but much of it is used in making fruit
boxes and other containers for food
in demand for soldiers and war work
ers. '
With headquarters at Spokane,
eleven districts will be created in the
Inland Empire, each district to be
made ^.ip of locals in its camps. To
facilitate the work of organization,
; temporary secretaries will be at first
appointed in each camp, as was done
j on the Pacific coast. There are seven
districts in the coast division of the
| Loyal Legion, named as follows: One,
North Bend district; Two, Tillamook;
(Three, Astoria; Four, South Bend;
| Five. Aberdeen; Six, Seattle; Seven,
Bellingham.
The eleven districts which will con
stitute the Inland Empire division
, will be: One, Kittitas and Yakima
yvothington; Two. Chelan
! and Brant counties, Washington;
; Three, Spokane, Pend Oreille, Stevens
and Ferry counties, Washington;!
[ Four, Boundary and Bonner counties,'
; Idaho; Five, the northern parts of
I Kootenai and Shoshone counties,
j Idaho; Eight, Nez Perce and Lewis
counties, Idaho; Nine. Flathead dis
trict and Lincoln county, Montana; j
Ten, Mineral, Missoula and Sanders
i counties. Montana; Eleven, Deschutes
j district, Oregon.

URGES! WOODEN SHIP
SOON TO LOSE HONOR
l _________
ORANGE, Texas, April 20.—The
‘War Mystery,” said to be the largest
wooden steamship ever launched, and
which now lies in the Sabine river be
ing equipped with steam engines, will
boast its title as the world’s greatest
for only a brief period. Five other
thips of similar design, each with a
greater cargo capacity than the War
Mystery .are in course of construe- i
tion here, and by the way work is
progressing, all will soon enter the
water. In addition to these, more
l
than a score of smaller wooden ves
sels are in the local yards, all in;
different stages of completion, and
all progressing rapidly under tne
hands of 4,000 shipbuilders, most of
whom have gathered here within the
year.
The War Mystery has a cargo ca-j
pacity of 3.700 tons, while the five
great ships to be launched will be
able to care for 5,000 tons each.
Nearly all of the lumber that goes
into these vessels is grown on the
3ulf coast, in most instances only a
short distance from Orange. Prepara
tory to the activity in the shipbuild
ing industry, sawmills were estab
lished with a capacity of 650,000 board
feet each day. The raw material is
floated down the Sabine river from
the forests of Texas, handled by the
new sawmills, and moved right on to
the shipyards.
It requires from 1,250,000 to 1,500,
000 feet of timber to construct a ship
of the War Mystery class, and thej
sawmills are hard pressed to keep!
pace with the shipbuilders. Between
4,000 and 4,500 men are at work ini
shipyards, and the weekly payroll is
more tharr $75,000. The lumber mills j
are using about 1,600 men, with a;
payroll of $10,000 weekly.
