This was at the time when the chapter was expending about $30 for materials a day. At the present time the work has grown to such an extent that the expenditures amount to approximate- ly $60.00 a day, and it is necessary for the chapter to have an income of about $2,000.00 a month. It was de- cided by the committee that the same plan must be followed as fn 'he first instance. Those citizens who are now subscribing regularly will not be asked to subscribe again, but imas:uuch as the $850.00, or thereabouts, eing \paid by approximately 600 citizens, ‘the committee feels that in a city the \size of Casper they should have little! |diffieulty in securing subscriptions | that would assure them of an income! of at least $2,000.00 a month or mors. Many citizens no doubt do not realize the importance or size of the jwork being done by the Natrona |County Chapter, and it would do many good to visit some of the work- rooms during the day, where they will find many of Casper’s industrious women busily engaged in making refugee garments, hospital garments, gauze bandages and all kinds of ma- terials necessary in war. There are now the following workrooms;: Zast- ern Star in the Masonic Temple; hos- pital garments, Odd Fellows’ H +11; refugee garments, the residence of F.

German Field Marshal, Says Report Published by ‘Les Nouvelles’ Today —“ (By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM, July 13.—German Field Marshal Von Hindenberg is dead, according to the newspaper Les Nouvellos, a French language newspaper published at The Hague. His death is said to have occurred after a stormy interview with the German emperor at great headquarters at Spa. The emperor and the field marshal, it is declared, had a serious difference of opinion concerning the German offensive toward Paris. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg died of congestion of the brain. The violent interview occurred May 16 and was followed by an apo- letic stroke which ultimately resulted in the field marshal’s death. The newspaper Les Nouveilles says its information was obtained “from good sources in an occupied district of Belgium.” During the last six months there have been several rumors of the death of Von Hindenburg and there have been many reports that he was in poor health. German newspapers were not permitted to men- tion the rumors. Keeping step with reports that Hindenburg had been ill were dis- patches indicating that the field marshal and the emperor had had a disagreement concerning the German offensive movement in the west. At the outbreak of the war Hindenburg was a general in retire- ment. He is credited with evolving plans which resulted in the dis- qstrous Russian defeat at Tanneburg, for which he was promoted to field marshal of all German armies. 90,000 MORE YANKS ‘OVER’ ‘Three Army Corps Ready for the Struggle in France, Says Chief of Staff March After Weekly Meeting [By A ated Prenn.
