The Daughters of Isabella met last evening atjthe K. C. hall, Mrs. Gar- vin, the grand regent, appointed Mrs Kupitz, Mrs. Flaherty, and Mrs. Ban- non on the condolence. committee. ‘Mrs..Gelerman gave a very inter- esting reading, which. was thorough- ly enjoyed by all of the ladies pres- el nt. : Mrs. McIntyre, Mrs. Joe Healow. and Mrs. Barrett were appointed to furnish the entertainment for the next meeting. Red.Cross Speech. One of the most interesting and ia- structive talks of the entire confer- ence was enjoyed by the Ladies of the Red Cross, who were privileged | to listen to a speech by Dr. Culbert- son-at the Red Cross headquarters in the federal ‘building, Monday after noon. i tn..his discourse Dr. Culbertson brought out forcibly the difference ir ‘the German method of warfare—char- acterizing it as fiendish ‘and uncivil- ized. He ‘pointed out that the Ger-j| mans admitted that their methods were not Christian-like; that it was their firm and honest belief in the “survival of the fittest,” and by the “fittest”. they meant strongest phys- ically not “fittest” in the moral or mental sense. \, There was much more in the talk given by Dr. Culbertson than is given in this brief outline, and those who were present felt that, were they priv- ‘iliged to hear but this one talk during the entire conference, — their trip would ‘be well worth while. Nobody Knows Whether Pershing. Is. Democrat. or Republican,’ Says *Orator| (Continued From Page’ One.) wasn’t very enthusiastic about Gen- eral Pershing. I thought hé was too stern—that his discipline was tinged with too. much iron, Another correspondent and myself, one day, had followed the general on an inspection tour: ofa‘ certain: di- viston. a Absolutely nothing escaped the gen- eral’s searching eyes; and every time he discovered a shortcoming he de- manded, right. on tke: spot, to know the: “why” of it. Scores of officers that day sweat Blood as,.a result of. the general's thoroughness. For example, in one place he found thé living quarters of some. ealisted men very dirty. é \He called for. their officer, The ‘latter came and’ saluted. His leather boots were polished until you could: see your reflection in them, His clothes were pressed in exactly the right places. He'd even polished his filngernails:for the general's ‘visit. In language that was exceedingly forceful, General’ Pershing called the attention of this officer to the dirty pillets and to the unkempt appearance of the men. i “You roust get it into your hewd “at the very start,” the general concluded, “that this 13 nu- picusc we've come over here to’ attend. You've got to see that the living quarters of your men are kept as clean and sanitary as: your’ own. Get on the job. Quit thinking about your self and think of the | men under you and of the work all of you have ahead.” After a whole day with the general, my fellow correspondent said to me: “If the general keeps up this sort of thing everybody. willcome to hate him. I’m heartsick. for the poor. fel- lows he has ‘bawled out’ today. That was six months ago. ~ But the other “day - this ‘same ..correspondent said: x ee “Md vou ever in your life see such quick improvement in an army? ' welt you this man Pershing is @ cork- er! He certainly knows his business. ‘All. the fellows who came over here expecting.to have a lark and to swank around. in society are getting the ‘gate.’ If:1 were he I wouldn't ‘be 80 lenient with them!” ‘ “Yes,” [ observed, “and if my boy was Old enough to be a soldier you can bet your last dollar I'd want him under a man like Pershing. I'd know then that if he didn’t have good food and serviceable clothing and just treatment from his officers there'd be hell to pay! 3 “TL admit that General Pershine wouldn't be likely to appear suddenly alase the road mnt him an the kak in‘faterly fashion and ask him if he felt cold: without an overcoat or: with his toes sticking out of his shoes. No, the general would be too busy back at general headquarters with the offi- cers responsible for the overcoat and a ahorteee, He's -@ deadly com- ent guy.” So I myself have changed my mind i out General Pershing. I'm firmly éanvinced that mushy sentimentality has no place-in a’ big-army. | ‘isvhat the men want is fair treat- ni nd equipment. exact justice; and a riddance of all incom- al Ween spotting’ fs piving Saar eer en Se ' By Betty Brown The plaids we once confined to sport clothes have broken over:th traces and are now — serenely promanading in street costuines as separate skirts with tight, plain little coats of contrasting’ color and material as companions.

Society and Entertainments }) SAYSW.H.WEBB “How .did you find things on the eastern markets?” asked the Trib- une man of Mr. Webb, who has just returned from a buying tour in New York and the east. : “Well,” said Mr. Webb, “stocks' of piece. goods are broken and very scarce, and prices seem to advance over night. However, the ready-to- wear market is‘ better than I antici- pated. The. styles, as well as the quality of materials used are excellent, and really I think the styles are more ‘becoming. than they have been in years. Of coutse no merchant is ‘urg: ed to buy. It is either take it or leave it for there’ are thousands of buyers just jamming the market to supply the demands of their stores. “No, the war seems to have’had lit- tle effect on the market, with the ex- ception that prices are somewhat ad- vanced-and on some things, the ad- vance is more than 100 per cent. Next year we will feel the scarcity more keenly. ‘ “The east breathes patriotism. and the big merchants and manufacturers were only too- willing to close ;for a longer. period, if: necessary, to help conserve, the: coda) supply, and ‘every one ia doing their bit to help win the war, “| dropped into one of the»big whole- sale houses and our talk drifted onto the subject of their traveling sales- man, Mr. Sperling, who was a fre- quent’ caller in Bismarck...
