BRITISH URGE PRESIDENT 10 VISIT. EUROPE Want Wilson to Send Permanent Representative at Least PRESS WANTS VISIT MADE London, ng., Aug. 17.—Hope is ex- pressed in many British quarters that President Wilson will find it advis- able to visit Europe soon, and even more widespread is the hope that he will send to Europe a permanent rep- resentative. ‘ This hope was given expression a few days ago in a series of articles in the Manchester Guardian Fi wardian first complained in cle on “The Road to Peace,” that “there is the initial difficulty that no spokesman of one allied nation can speak equally for all.” Then a former member of parlia- ment, signing himself “Ex-M, P.” wrote to the editor asking: ‘But is this dif- ficulty insuperable? You say Presi- dent Wilson is a long way off. The cable annihilates distance, and he has his representative in London. There is one very cogent reason why he should be accepted as the spokesman of the allies—that not one of them can do without him!” To this the editor of the Guardian made the following signed answer: “Nothing is more desirable than that President Wilson should take a more active part in the direction of policy, but for that it would be es- sential that some representative in intimate personal association with him and enjoying in the fullest degree his confidence should be present in this country and should take part in all the most intimate counsels of the al- lies. So far President Wilson has sent no such representatives, though Colonel House for a short time pretty much fulfilled this office. It is of a importance that he should do BUY W, §. S——— U-BOATS FAIL T0 SCARE SKIPPERS Fishermen Refuse to be Driven From Sea BY MILTON BRONNER, (N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.) The HUNS’ submarines are not ev- en frightening the American deep-sea fishermen. These hardy men, who earn their livelihood on the ocean, are going right ahead with their work. At this season fishing smacks put out from ‘Massachusetts’ and Maine, bringing back great catches of mack- erel, hake, haddock, halibut and sword fish. Their, pdofits this year are greater than ever “And there ain't any boche murdez- er born who is going to scare us off dur own ocean,” one of the seamen de- clared. Despite the fact’ that in the past six weeks the HUN has attacked and sunk fishing vessels along the Massa- chusetts and Maine coasts, fishing fleets go out to their fishing grounds just the same. There is only one difference: Every smack and schooner now has provi- sion laden life-hoats swung so as to be slipped into the sea with the least possible delay. BUY W.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 17.— Utah mothers who have sent their boys to face the HUNS have joined hands with their soldier sons to aid in crushing autocracy by. organizing themselves into a powerful body known as the Utah War Mothers’ As-| sociation. Nearly 700 mothers of soldier boys} attended the organization meeting called at the Hotel Utah. Governor Simon Bamberger, the mayor of Salt Lake, Colonel’ William Webb of! Camp Kearney, California, where hun: dreds of Utah men are stationed and other military and civil officials ad- dressed the War’ Mothers. Alter the meeting the War Mothers were the guests of the Civic Center association of Salt Lake and they were shown the various phases of war work carried on by the associa- tion at their headquarters. Throughout Utah, homage is being 'paid to the women who are furnishing | the man-power in the war for civiliz- ation. Recitals, concerts’ and other entertainments are being given in} their honor and everything possible| done to make them forget the dan- gers that confront their sons. The making of acquaintances among War Mothers is being encouraged and the leaders: of the Utah organization now say that.the mothers of: American fighters are becoming more cheerful and eager to strain every energy to winning the war than before they weer organized. When Quentin hoosevelt fell in bat- tle over there, the Utah association of War Mothers quickly dispatched a message of sympathy to Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt in behalf of the War Mothers of the state. Other messages will be sent by the association to the American forces in France or to train. ing camps in the United States, if the By J.R. eee Herb: to them Scots,” THEY SENT THEIR SONS TO FIGHT THE HUNS And They’re Going to Back Them Up With United Effort—That’s the War Program of Utah War Mothers Utah War Mothers—(Top, left toright)—Mrs. R.

It is the intention of the War Moth- ers of Utah to send one or more dele- gates to the national convention of War Mothers scheduled for September 18-20 at Evansville, Ind. Perhaps the biggest factor in orga- izing the War’ Mothers of Utah was the War Mothers’ honor roll kept by the Evening Telegram. All nmes of mothers with sons in the service were called for, in order that they could be turned over to the governor of the state to be placed among the archives of the state. Plans for the formation of an auxil- iary of war grandmothers to knit for the Red Cross are now being made by the War Mothers’ association. ——1wy w. 8. 8.

For the wood was transported to his factory over country roads, through deep gnow .at a time when he had no coal and could get none. When he found himself actually face to face with the alternative of buying wood or stopping business, this man made inquiry and learned that Boston coal yards held their wood at $14 to $16 a cord. Even so, none had a truck or team available for immedi- ate delivery of wood. Then it occurred to him that last fall, while driving his car along the road from Boston'to Worcester, Mass., he had noticed’a large wood lot, with great quantities of. chopped wood piled up. By a bit of telephoning he got in touch with the owner, who, was per- fectly willing to sell any athount of his wood at $8 a cord, but had no oth- er means of shipping than. to sled it) to the railroad. This plan was impossible because of ‘he element of ‘time; and when the business man suggested motor trucks, the woodsman, said that, in his opinion the snow was too deep in the woods for a motor truck to get in, much less get out with a load.

While Colonel Bennett expressed the belief that the elimination of the “cootie” or trench louse could not be accomplished through wearing of chemically treated undergarments, the women say a similar treatment has been endorsed by ‘the Canadian gov- ernment and is in wide use. It is thought by leaders of the cam- paign here that the garments sup- plied the 168th infantrv—a unit of the Rainbow division—were of too light texture, and the garments more re- cently made of a heavier material, will prove effective. wuyw.s.8 Tribune Want Ads Bring Results. —that’s our middle name.
