DENTON STARTS OFF WITH RUSH
MANY INCREASE SUBSCRIPTIONS
LONDON, .May 20.—The ruthless me-
thods of the Germans in attempting to
gather foodstuffs in the Ukraine are
meeting wit|i bitter opposition from
the exasperated populace, according to
Russian government wireless reports.
Ukrainians Burning Bread.
District assemblies thruout the Uk-
raine decided to burn all bread and
other provisions rather than submit
to having them taken. The land own-
ers were declared to be outcasts.
Peasants’ Assembly Broken Up.
Twenty thousand peasants attempted
to hold an assembly of their own in
Kiev, but they were dispersed by the
German forces.
Major Lufbury was probably the
most, noted of the American aviators.
He joined the French escadrille early
in the war and rose rapidly in rank
from sous-lieutenant to major* thru his
great success.-

and Texas points and enjoining the

MAJOR LUFBURY, NOTED
0. S. AVIATOR, KILLED
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 20.—Major Raoul Lufbu-
ry of the American Flying corps was
killed in an aerial battle. He will be
buried today with full military honors
in which both American and French
troops will participate. He was from
Wallingford, Conn.
The campaign for raising $10,000 of
the 1100,000,000 Red Gross War Fund
was started with a-rush Monday morn-
ing, following a parade from the Red
Cross headquarters around the square
and a short talk by Captain Charles I.
Francis, and it was- predicted at nv>n
.Monday that something like 50 per cent
of the local quota would be in the
hands of the War Fund Treasurer, G.
W. Morrell by Monday night. Many of
the subscribers voluntarily increased
their quotas suggested by the local
Lists and Estimates committee and
there were very few outright refusals
to pay, altho a number took advantage
of ttie four-payment plan whereby
they could distribute their subscription
over -four months instead of all at
once.
The day started with the bugle call
—reveille at 5:30 o’clock—and this will
be given each day during the campaign.
“When you hear the bugle,” said Joe
L. Blewett Monday, “stop and think for
a moment, ‘What am 1 going to do for
the Red Gross today?’ It will be a re-
minder of our duty and our pleasure
to aid in this great organization’s
work.”
At 8:45 o'clock nearly 200 Red Cross
workers and committees formed in pa
rade line at the Red Cross headquar-
ters at the First Christian church.
Headed by the Normal college band in
a truck, the parade marched up West
Hickory street, around the square and
back to the south side where Captain
Francis delivered a short and impres-
sive talk on the need, of supporting the
Red Cross by loyal American citizens
and of the part the organization is
playing in the .American task of win-
ning the war. The team captains and
members immediately began their so-
licitation.
The parade order was as follows:
Normal college band,' Officers and
men of the Gray Horse troop, T. N. G.
Mothers of Denton county boys in the
nation's service; Red Cross surgical
dressing workers; Red Gross garment
workers; Red Cross knitters: Red Cross
chapter officers; team captains and so-
liciting teams.
Rally Tonight
A big rally will be held at the court-
house tonight to hear an address by A.
J. Harris of Aubrey, one of the most
forceful of all lhe speakers in the Red
Cross campaign of the county. There
will be a concert by the Normal col-
lege band at 7 o’clock on the court-
house lawn, a concert by the C. I. A.
orchestra at 7:30 and Mr. Harris will
begin his speech at 8 o’clock.
Work Over County
Thruout Denton county today several
hundred loyal Red Cross workers are
busy on their respective chapter quo-
tas. Many of the chapters already have
secured their quotas, but are going
right ahead to raise more. The coun-
ty's total is *20.000 and Chairman Deav-
enport wants it to show a total of at
least *$27,000 when the work ends next
Monday night. J. M. Medlin of Roan-
oke, who was here Monday, reported
that the Roanoke chaptre’s auction sale
Saturday netted *382 and said Roanoke
would go “over the top.” Frank Davis
of Rector said the Rector campaign
would start at once, with nd doubt
about getting its quota. (The Branch
chapters are all to report each night to
Chairman Deavenport of the pledges
and cash received during the day and
he will telegraph the county returns
into division headquarters for compila-
tion. The results ove/ the United
States will be announced next day.
Red Cross Exhibits.
Two interesting Red Cross workers'
exhibits are a part of the local cam-
paign—one of the surgical dressings in
the Wilson-Hann show window in
charge of Mrs. P. Lipscomb, head of
that department at local headquarters
and the other of garments in the Wil-
liams show window, in charge of Mrs.
W. C. Edwards, head of .the garment
.work rooms.

FBy Teh .Associated Press)
From Ypres to Rheims the allied ar-
mies are waiting confldenUy the re-
sumption by the Germans of their of-
fensive begun two months ago. Good
weather prevails.
Reports say that the lack of the fight-
ing spirit among the crack German di-
visions is holding back the fighting.
Large numbers of German units lost
considerable portions of their effec-
tiveness in the heavy fitting In Picar-
dy and Flanders and despMe the fact tah^
their ranks have been filled Immediate-
ly from depots in the rear, strong im-
pressions of the terrific ordeal thru
which they passed are still retained by
them.
Huns May Widen Front.
Indications are that the Germans
may extend lhe fighting front south
and east along the Alsne river into the
Champagne,- thinking thus -ot draw the
attention of General Foch and the re-
serve army, while the real effort would
be made further north In an attempt to
separate the British and French.
British raiding activity is growing
livelier ami increased local fighting is
reported on the Italian front.
