LIARY HERE
Mrs. E. S. Gill of Seattle, official
represenative of the War Mothers'
League is in Medford to meet wonu'ii
interested in the welfare of enlisted
nien, Thursday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock at the library. The Icnrne
is one of the useful activities relat
ing to the war, and it is hoped to
form a local branch. She will explain
the work tigs as well as results of
1 this excellent organiatinn, which is
the only one receiving: the' endorso
ment of Secrctnry Daniels and Ma.j.
Gen. II. A. Greene, commandant of
Camp Lewis, he having written a
i j)f r$pnal letter giving it and the meth
ods of procedure the highest approval
and commendation.
Mrs. Gill desires to effect the or
'ganiation of an auxiliary here and
wishes to meet women who are inter
ested in war work.
. She-has much of interest to relate
regarding response from men who
are now corresponding with "War
mothersand urgently requests sup
port. There are no dues or fees, only
personal service required.
The league was organized in Seat
tle and incorporated last September.
Its object, expressed in the preamble
to its constitution, is to "take to our
hearts and lives, as our son, at least
one enlisted man in any branch of the
army or navy, who has no mother to
love and cherish him." Kverv
"mother" pledges herself to write
cheerful and encouraging letters reg
ularly o her "son."
Colonel Inglls Praises Work.
Col. W. M. Inglis, of the 2nd Wash
ington Infantry, on October 17, wrote
ft letter of recommendation for the
league members. "I find they are ac
complishing splendid results," he
said, "and I only hope more of my
men may be taken care of in a simi
lar manner."
Mrs. Gill, discussing the work of
the league, snid.
"In these days of stress when con
sidering every possible method for
the welfare of the men who have
gone forth to fight there is not one
which is more practical or to the di
rect purpose than is the War Moth
ers' League of America, which deals
flireutly with the mental condition
and happiness of the motherless en
listed mun.
"It does for their minds what the
Red Cross does for their bodies, and
is, in my opinion, almost as essen
tial, for the reason that all comnmnd
e rs,say that when men arc homesick
and lonely they arc only about 50 per
rent efficient.
References Needed.
"It is a fact testified to by men
who have seen war service that the
right kind of letters are as great if
not greater m their influence for good
than are the best efforts of the regi
mental chaplain, therefore, when one
of every fifteen men in our great
nnny nnd nuvj is motherless, it is
an easy matter to calculate how
many thousands of 'war mothers' are
required to fulfill our slogan, 'A
Mother for Kverv Man.'
"We are safeguarding our league
by requiring references which inusl
accompany every woman's applica
tion for membership, then by the vote
of the entire membership present. No
undesirable woman's name can ever
nppenr in our books, and only ma
tare, earnest women more than :i
years of age nre eligible."

T LOVE CREEL,
(Vtv Milton Tlronner.)
WASHINGTON, 1). (.'., May 21.
Friends of George Creel (and he has
theai) say that his most active ene
mies (and he has plenty) are tryinir
to get even with the fighting ehuir-
'imin of the commitee on public in
formation for some slushing things
he has written and spoken of in he
past.
They say they can trace every
brick that is flung at Creel to some
enemy he made in fighting for the
common good when he was a radical
newspaperman, magazinist nnd politi
cal knight-errant.
1,1st of Ills Enemies. '
Tljey list his deurest opponents as
follows: ,
Senators:' Iloise Penrose, repybli
can boss' of Pennsylvania, and Jim
Watson of Indiana, reactionary re
publican, one of the best friends the
big manufacturers have in the cap
ital. Newspapers : New York Sun, New
York Tribune, Chicago Tribune.
Magazines: Metropolitan and Col
lier's. Creel has literally taken the hide
off Yutson and Penrose, lie more
than intimated Penrose was not fit to
be n senator. Anil he didn't fling any
violets and roses at Watson.
Creel acquired the everlasting at
tention of hie New'York Sun when he
denounced thut sheet as the greatest
organ of class hatred in America.
The Sun lias changed ownership, but
the recollection of that, ami other
sharp saying by Creel, still abides.
. The Chicago Tribune is the prop
edty of kinfolk of "Meddle" McCor
mick, congressiiuin-at-large fron Ill
inois, Hefore our entrance into war
the McCormick family paper wanted
us to make war iiM)ii Mexico, which
is precisely what Germany also want
ed. Now the Tribime and its New
York namesake are trying to make
the American people believe Roosevelt
is the only man fit to be president.
As to ltoosccvelt.
Creel doesn't think so. In fact,
many times he has expressed his
doubt's as to T. 1(. being a real re
former. And that's where he ran
counter to Collier's afd the Metropol
itan, both now said to he controlled
by Harry Payne Whitney. Whitney's
father was secretary of the navy un
der Cleveland, but the younger man,
n millionaire many times over, is a
Roosevelt idulator. Also be has much
money invested in oil ami steel. So
when Creel knocks T. li. and says
mean things about the big steel and
oil corporations, it isn't calculated
to make young Whitney love young
Creel.
Despite all' the attacks on Creel,
facts are:
There is no harder working indiv
idual in Washington. He, is con
stantly trying to get news released
for the public instead of bottled up.
And he is serving his country by
fighting every scheme to have the
world made safe for labor crushers
and selfish politicians in America,
while our boys are fighting the bat
tles for democracy in I'.urope.
They say he press-agents for the
president and Secretaries Maker and
Daniels. Hut he does so most often
when those distinguished men have
just knocked into n cocked hat some
little scheme about conscripting lahov
or doing away with civil courts and
substituting military cmirts-martial.
HERTLING OBJECTS
LONDON. May 21. Strong oppo
sition to the recently arranged al
liance between German" and Austria
llungnry is voiced by Chancellor Yon
llertling and Koreign Secretary Yon
Kuchhiiunn, according to reports re
ceived from The Hague. The chan
cellor and foreign secretary are re
ported to have --aid that they washed
their bands of the entire muter as
they objected to the niclhoils by
which the military part of the con
vention was devised over their headr.
by the German hivlirr command. Gen
eral I.uilendorff is said to be insist
ing that the agreement be passed and
signed at once.
The military sections bind each
party to aid the other with all it
lorccs uiroinsi any and every enemy,
thus compelling Aii-triu to place all
her forces nt the di-poa! of tier
n-.uny.

CAUSE SABOTAGE
IN WEST EXPOSED
CHICAGO, May 21. IMmls of the
operations of the I. in the
wheat ami oil fields of the nmUllo
we-it stattw were revealed today when
the government attorneys read nu
merous letters from the eorrespond
enee files of f-'iiri'i'Mt Edwards,
retary nnd treasurer of the Agricul
tural workers' branch of the 1. W.
W. Xo. -WO, at the trial of 112 mem
bers of the body befiVre Federal
Judjre Landis. This branch is con
sidered (Hie of the largest and most
powerful unions of the 1, V. W. by
iioveminent invest ivn tors. At one
time it is snid to huve enrolled 20,
(1110 members, nnd, according to the
charges made by the government, its
ii'cmbers put into effect a score or
more forms of sabotage to curtail the
product ion of foodstuffs uud sup
plien.
Sought W:tge Stale.
The letter showed that large sums
were expended by the organinlion in
flooding the middle west with I. V.
literature on sabotage nnd mani
festoes. One letter read in court jlis
closed the fact that the I. W. W. last
July negotiated with the Farmers'
Non-Pnrti.-nn league of Xortli Dakota
for a wage scale agreement. Th
league offered to pay farm worker-$-l..)0
a day, but tlie proHsition was
linally rejected because the I. Y. V.
demanded $'1 a day as the minimum
wage.
In one of the official bulletins men
tion was made that the defense of the
1. V. YV. in the slate of Vasbintin
had cost the organiittioa liii.lHM).
