ROBBED OK WIFE AND SONS
IS GOING AGAINST GERMANS
CHICAGO: Jay H. Wetmore is on
the way to Montreal, today to embark
for service at the front. He was a
prosperous hardware merchant at
Swift Current, Saskatchewan, until
recently. His two sons enlisted in the
Canadian expeditionary forces. At the
battle of the Somme the two soldiers
were killed and their bodies lay on the
field for days before being recovered
and buried by their comrades.
Some time later these facts reached
the parents in a brief official telegram.
The mother grieved until about a year
ago, when she died of a broken heart.
Wetmore sought repeatedly to en
list for service, but each time the Can
adian officers rejected him. Yesterday
he tame to Chicago and at the Brlt
ish-Canadian recruiting station told
his story and begged for a chance at
service. He was accepted.
“I hate,” Wetmore said, “I hate.
My wife and my sons have been taken.
I am going in for the death for I don’t
care if I never come back.”

FORI) TO BUILD CHASERS
WASHINGTON: The Ford Motor
co., has received contracts from the
Navy Department to build submarine
chasers. The boats will be fabricated
at the Ford plant and are to be 200
ft. long. They well be shipped to the
coast in fabricated condition and as
sembled there.
Work already is started and the en
tire third floor of the Ford plant is
reported to be used for this purpose.
This naturally will reduce materially
the Ford passenger car production.
The Ford method of building motor
cars on the progressive assembly plan
will be followed in the construction
of the new boats, which Ford is said
to have designed himself for the navy.
The fabricated parts of the boats will
be assembled in sections. It is plan
ned to have the hull, corresponding
to the frame of the motor car, move
on a conveyor from department to de
partment, gradually being completed
and made ready for launching. The
Ford U-boat destroyers will be
launched on the Great Lakes and
brought to the coast under their own
power.—Motor Age.

A PATRIOTIC
CHALLENGE!
THE WAR SAVINGS PLAN is a challenge to the
thrift and patriotism of every American; a challenge that must
be met by every man, woman and child who shares the bless
ings of this free country, if we are to carry on this war as a
UNITED people.
It is a call to put your surplus earnings, however
small, at the service of your country while your country needs
them—and later get the money back with interest.
For every $4.14 you put into War Savings Stamps
now, you will receive $5 in five years—that is four per cent
interest, compounded quarterly. If you are not ready to
start with $4.14, bjjy a THRIFT CARD and begin with 25c—
then save systematically, every day if you can, and see how
your savings grow, helping you and helping the nation.
Inquire at any Bank, other authorized
agency, or the postoffice.
