TOBACCO FUND
FOR SOLDIERS
IS EXPLAINED
Many seem slow in catching the
idea regarding the tobacco fund now
being raised by The Gateway. Sev
eral telephone calls and also inquiries
by letter have been received and the
only way to explain the affair is to
repeat again what has already been
published. If you feel able, contribute
two-bits. This amount purchases 45
cents’ worth of chewing and smoking
tobacco and cigarette papers. Your
contribution is sent Hast, tobacco pur
chased and then set to the boys “some
where in France.” A postcard is at- •
tached to the tobacco package and the j
soldier receiving this writes to you,
his appreciation. Remember that the
government does not furnish tobacco j
—so you and I must do it.
From noon yesterday to noon today
the following contributions had been
made:
M. L. Groat .$1.00
.Mrs. J. Junto.-.50
Previously acknowledged . 6.00
Grand Total .$7.50!
DANISH ARMY
REDUCED BY
GOVERNMENT
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 6, (Delayed)
—The Danish government has ordered
another reduction in the size of the
standing army. The step is taken, it
is stated, “mainly for financial rea
sons. hut a*so because discipline in the
army has been weakened r.nd its qu;d
ity deteriorated under protracted ser«
At the beginning of the European
war, Denmark called up 45,000 men
in addition to the 12,500 who are al
ways under training. This force was
gradually reduced to 25,000, anil a fur
ther reduction of about 25 per cent
has now been decided upon.
All the parties, except the Con
servatives declined acquiesance on the
ground that they could not admit that
“the danger of a violation of Den
mark’s neutrality has been essential- j
Iv diminished.”

MERCHANT SHIPS OF
UNITED STATES NOW
OFFER REGULATIONS
OF WARLIKE NATURE!
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, (By Mail)
Beginning today every vessel leaving
the United Suites for European and]
Mediterranean ports will have to obey j
treasury department regulations rela
tive to armament, fuel and smoke
screens, and painting to obtain invisi- j
bility, which have been adopted as aj
part of the plans of this country and,
the allies for dealing with the German j
submarine menace.
The vessels must be armed in ac
cordance with the recommendations
of the navy department. The bureau
of war risk insurance will charge an
additional rate of one per cent on each
voyage of vessels failing to comply
with this requirement.
Each vessel must be painted in ac
cordance with one of the systems that
are recommended by the ship protec
tion committee of the emergency fleet
corporation. Shipowners are free to
select any one of the approved meth
ods of painting their vessels, but it
must first be submitted to and re
ceive the approval of the chairman of
the rvival consulting board.
Each steamer at time of sailing
from the United States must carry n
sufficient supply of approved smoke
less fuel to carry her for not less than
two daylight periods, this coal to be
used during the daylight runs and
while within the submarine zone.
Steamers equipped with an approved
system whereby the vessel may be op
erated without the emission of visible
smoke from her stacks, are relieved
from the above requirement.
The war risk insurance bureau re
serves the right to decline to insure
vessels whose owners have not, in the
opinion of the bureau, made a satis
factory efTort to comply with these
requirements.
