GIRLS SET RECORD IN
LONDON BOOT HOSPITAL
London, Dec. 4.-The war girl is
again setting new records in a fac-
tory near the east end of London.
Here however, it is not shells but
boots which she is turning out. It is
more like a surgery for boots than a
factory because, within forty minutes,
a pair of boots from Flanders thick
with mud and hardly recognizable are
completely restored to ftrength and
soundness.
The boots are scrubbed in warm
water, dressed with castor oil, the
heel and tap is stripped off, then the
outer skin of the upper part is taken+
off with a machine invented during
the war. The sole and heel are re-
newed, the whole blocked into shape
and finally restained, polished and
made ready for use again in the army;
all in forty minutes.
About 300 girls are working in this
boot hospital.
Four Narrowly Escape Drowning
Flint, Dec. 4.-Three boys and a
man. narrowly escaped drowning in
Flint river when Cortez Cummings,
12 years old, broke through thin ice.
Eugene Everhart saw the boy strug-
gling in the water and went to his
rescue. Everhart broke through, but
managed to hold up the Cummings
boy. until help arrived. George ever-
hart, a brother, and Byron Whitney,
stepfather of the Cummings boy, also
fell into the hole made by the strug-
gling boys. A boat was finally shoved
out from the edge of solid ice and all
four were rescued. The Cummings
boy and Cortez Everhart were ex-
hausted when aid reached them.

CASUALTIES OCCUR AS RESULT
OF INTENSE NERVOUS STRAIN
BEFORE "ZERO HOUR"
One of the most trying experiences
in the trenches is the waiting for the
signal to start the attack, according
to an article in a scientific monthly.
The men know that the order to
charge has been given, but the exact
time is not told them until immediately
before. The suspense is so terrible
that many have been known to go in-
sane while waiting for the announce-
ment of "zero hour."
One instance is given of a
deranged man who climbed over
his trench with only a towel
for a covering. The Germans
were so surprised that they did not fire
at first, and the man's corporal tried
to lasso him with a rope. 'The rope
missed, and a German gun brought
him down.
Another story is told of three men
who were reconnoitering in No-Man's-
Land about 3 o'clock in the morning.
They encountered a German, quickly
put an end to him, and started back
to their line. One of the men suddenly
lost his mind and came yelling and
waving his arms toward his own
trench. He was mistaken for a Ger-
man, which was natural as he had
taken the helmet of the one they had
killed and was wearing it.
He was killed instantly. The two
remaining men also lost their heads
and started running, one being shot
down. The other fell fiat on his face
and lay there four hours, afraid to
move. The trench guns were pointed
in his direction, the entire line think-.
ing the Germans w'e about to make
,an attack. In the morning, by telling
the sentry the names of the captain
and the other officers, he was able to
get back to his own lines.,
ALLEGED CONSPIRATORS GO
ON TRIAL FOR I)YNAMITING
A. I. Kaltschmlidt and 12 Others Im-
plicated In Anti-Amer- .
can Plot
Detroit, Dec. 4.-A. Karl Kalt-
schmidt and two others were to go
on trial in federal court here today
to answer to the charge of conspira-
cy to dynamite bridges and factories
in the United States and Canada. The
13 alleged accomplicestin the dynamite
plot have been in custody since April
0i.
Included in the 12 additional per-
sons are Kaltschmidt's sister and
brother-in-law. It is thought that
those to be tried are part of the web
of intrigue stretching from Wilhelm-
strasse all over the world and which
the secret service operatives of Uncle
Sam are searching out.
The trials would have been held
long ago but for the fact that big
conspiracy cases were being tried in
Chicago and other large cities of the
country.
Specifically, Kaltschmidt and his as-
sociates are held responsible for a
plot to blow up the Windsor, Ont.,
armory, .the Peabody overall factory
in Walkerville, Ona., and big plants
d bridges in and around Detroit.
It is posible that Kaltschmidt will
'be tried on 12 charges.

THRIFT STAMPS TO HELP
GOVERNMENT IN WAR FUNDS
Stamps Sell in 2 Cent Denominations
War Saving Certificates
Sell for $4.12
- Detroit, Dec. 3.-Methods of saving
money were put before Mic'igai and
other states today by the government,
with the launching of the sale of thrift
stamps. Michigan was expected to re-
spond whole-heartedly to the idea,
which besides instructing the purchas-
er of thrift stamps, will also aid the
government against financial difficul-
ties during th war.
The thrift stamps are sold at 25
cents each at post offices. War saving
certificates, which also went on sale
today, are sold for $4.12 e'ach. . The
money invested in these two chan-
nels goes toward war supplies. They
fortify the United States and its allies
in the war against future contingen-
cies which may arise in the conflict
with Germany.
The stamps and saving certificates
are redeemable at any time, and may
be kept five years, when their maxi-
mum value will be returned to the
possessor. It is the plan of men boost-
ing the movement to have the purch-
asers retain their certificates and
stamps for five years whenever pos-
sible.
Detroit's share to be invested in
these two new government enterprises
is expected to exceed $16,000,000 'dur-
ing 1918.
The public is fully awake to the
fact that money is one of the big fac-
tors in winning the war and govern-i
ment officials are bonfident that per-
sons who were unable to buy Liberty
Bonds will "come through" in this
campaign for money in small quanti--
ties.,
