The veterans undertook to carry out the plans of the Nations} Coun- cil of Defense at the request of the county council, and it is safe to say that no more successful celebra- tion was ever held here or else- where. The citizens contributed liberal- ly, the veterans spent carefully and what was necessary, and having this fund left felt that the two most wor- thy organizations for war work in the county should share equally in its distribution.

HAS PENNANT-WINNING TEAM Manager Miller Huggins of New York Yankees, Belleves He Will Win Championship. | Miller James Huggins, the new lead- er of the New York Americans, is thirty-elght years old, and one of the smallest men in baseball, standing 5 feet 4 inches. Huggins played in St. Paul, 1900 to 1908; Cin- cinnatl, 1904 to 1900, and St. Louts Nationals, 1910 to 1917, inclusive. Huggins was ap- pointed manager of the Yankees last winter, suc- ceeding “Wild = Miller Huggins. Bill” Donovan, who has replaced Jimmy Burke as coach for the Detroit Tigers. With Derrill Pratt at second base, Huggins believes he has a pennant-winning team in New York. St. Louis fans are particularly interested in Huggins. He finished third twice with the St. Louis Cardinals, staying a wonderful pen- | nant drive with the local club in 1914.

They are there to wage the supreme conflict of the world with the brutal | forces of autocracy that democracy, our heritage, may not perish. We want these boys of ours to come back to us, and it is the Red Cross men and women—our Red Cross men and women—who will bring thousands of | them back who would not otherwise come if our dollars will but keep them there to minister to these boys of ours. They are but doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. A SCORE OF REASONS FOR THE RED CROSS | It Is Playing a Big Part in the War for Democracy. What does it mean to you to know | that your America Red Cross: | Is supporting 50,000 French children, Sends supplies to 8,423 French mill- tary hospitals. _ Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings, Is operating 80 canteens at the front line. Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 80,000 French soldiers a day. Operates a movable hospital in four units accommodating 1,000 men. Is operating a children’s refuge in one part of the war zone, and in another a medical center and traveling dis Pensary, both capable of accommo- dating more than 2,000 children. Has opened a long chain of ware houses stocked with hospital sup Plies, foad, soldiers’ comforts; to- bacco, blankets, etc, all the way from the seaboard to the Swiss frontier. Has warehouse capacity for 100,000 tons, Has 400 motor cars and operates seven garages, making all repairs, | Has shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to. Italy from France within two. weeks after it began operating in the former coun- try. * it Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the United States declared war on Austria. Started a hundred different activities in Italy at the time that nation was {n its most critical condition.\ Has established five hospitals in Eng- land and operates a workshop for hospital supplfes employing 2,000 women, And that 120,000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris headquarters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters seattered throughout the United States, What does all this mean to you? And I have told you but a fraction of the work your Red, Cross has done and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless, heroic. work of the American Red Cross, we could never win this war. Without your Red Cross thousands in Rumania would have starved to death, Without your Red Cross Italy would never have realized that powerful sup- | port of the United States in the hour of need. Without your Red Cross thousands of French soldiers now gallantly fight- ing for you at the front would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food. But now we must all redouble our efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross because—a million mothers’ sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting for honor and berty.. \ With the help of your Red Cross your boy will win, _ Sts a eS Financed by women and manned by a “crew” of four women, a spec- ially constructed trolley car is tour. ing Massachusetts to give demonstra- tions of ‘‘wheatless” cooking, to teach the proper care of babies, and to show the need of saving food for be out of the game indefinitely.

It was tant- alizing to see his children grow up! when he could not reach them, yet he was grateful for the chance to look at them. One day shortly after the Amer- jeans came, this man was hrol:en- hearted. He had seen his wife and the children board, train. For two days he was almost without hope. Then one of the Americans he had been training suddenly shouted one They’re back.” | The Yankee was almost as excited as |the Frenchman, This man doesn’t measure time by “the end of the war’ as most people j}do. With him it is “until the Amer- icans drive the Germans beyond my home over there.” For him that will be heaven. the war on Germany for him.’ For the hour's of agony the Germans have given himwill never allow him to be at peace with a German.
