Relatively, however, Salem _intends to make its record of enlistments in the Connecticut Home Guard one of the very best in the atate.

A number of the members of the first aid class of the Red Cross who have been taking a course at the Backus hospital in Red Cross first aid work were dressed in costume, adding much to the interest of the gathering. ‘Those dressed in Red Cross uniforms were Misses Olive Huntington, Edith Young, Florence Williams, Katherine Brown, Ruth Hamilton, Helen Hamil- h and Mrs. Arthur Bunnell and Mrs, k Eaton. In the near future the chapter will launch a big membership campaign. . J. Leavens, treasurer of the local chapter of the Red Cross, presided at the meeting and introduced His Honor Mayor Aliyn L. Brown. Mayor Brown referred to the fact that the work of the Red Cross is not appreciated and that many people have thought little of its importance. The general idea that people have it that it is simply an organization that is used in time of war. Fortunately our country has seen only a few months of war in the lives of the majority of us. The Red Cross conducts and has conducted a very important work in time of peace as well as war. The time is here now and everyone realizes the grand op- portunity to lend a hand in the work of the National Red Cross. The people of Norwich in the past have shown devotion to duty, as history tells us, and these of us who remember the Civil war wiil recall this fact. The military census recently taken is a very convincing example. Norwich has a population of about- 30,000 and it was estimated at headquarters in Hartford that Norwich would have 9,200 names, but when the census was completed we had 10,200 names. No other city in the state did the work with more efficiency than Norwich. We were recently calied by the governor of the state to muster a detachment of the Home guard, You know the re- =ponse. We have two companies with men in each, and now we have started to recruit for a third. Red Cross Call Doubly Strong. - The call of the Red Cross is doubly strong, not only to our sense of pa- iriotisin_but o our sense of love for teliow man. In these days we have many opporiunities to give and espe- clally since this world wide war was atarted. I believe there is no appeal which ‘touches anyone so deeply as that of the Red Cross. My fear is that our people won't wake up to the fact that we are in war and a war in which cvery one must do his part, and I am sure that the city of Nofwich as well as other citios {n the staie will do their part. Mayor Brown expressed hope that the peopie of the city will re- 89051Q to all worthy calls of patriotism. and the call of the Red Cross. Norwich a Charter Member. Mr. Leavens said that he thought many of the people in attendance at this meeting came with the desire ‘o know more about the Red Cross. The Red Cross was really iaunched in Nor- wich 56 years ago this month in the Breed hall when the soidiers of the city were leaving in, response to Pres- llent Lincoln’s call The Red Cross under the present name has been in this city for about 12 years and this city was one of the first to join the national organization, which was ef- fective in 1905. Thus Norwich is a charter member of the American Red Cross. ‘There has not been another chapter in eastern Connecticut, Bridge- port, Hartford, New Haven, Middlesex, Fairfield. Litchfield ~and others that has been so early in the cause. The Norwich chapter of Red Cross was or- ganized one afternoon in the Osgood Memorial, Park Congregational church, at a meeting which was attended Ly 30 ladies and three men, one of which happened to be myself. Inside of a year the Norwich chapter had more members than any other chapter in Connecticut. Who We Have Helped. We were first called upon to do ser- vice when we were called to give money at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Next the great San Francisco earthquake, when we sent from six to seven thousand dollars, besides clothing, etc., to the sufferers. And from time to time we have helped sufferers from fire, floods, etc. We need you, we need your money, your wis- Jom and your svmpathy. We want to "ave the membership of the Norwich chapter stand as high as any other chapter in the country. Next Mr. Leavens introduced Gen- eral Willam A. Aiken, w¥o emphasized in his remarks three topics: The Red Cross, why organized; the American Red Cross, what it is; the Norwich Red Cross, what it ought to be. Wounded Left to Die. General Aiken made reference to a|wresident Alcorn Lauds Wilsor noted French author who in a book described a Furopean conflict and he notes that in this war there were no litter bearers. The wounded were left | where they dropped and the infantry in a charge trampled on the wound- ed and thg cavalry ground the wound- ed into thé earth, When he saw this ghastly wpectacle of wounded lying on the fleld, he was filled with horror because of the lack of what we call Qrst aid work. The statistics of this war show that tha loss of life was ter- rific and he was convinced that there wmust be an organization, the object of which s to conserve human iife and save tho nation lives of men which aro thrown away, The American Red Cross. what it, in And waet It 1s not, are important ‘thi for us.

In our Civil war we had in Wash- ington a woman who had a heart and the love of a woman and at the close ‘many She located many nameless graves, bringing information to families of missing ones and out of that stupen- dous worl, Clara Barton went Switzerland anc came in contact with to the organization known as the Treaty She realized the need many and France she was recognized for her service and she came back to our country and here she single hand- ed, pressed on with the same energy and organized the American Red Cross. The insignia of the Red Cross was taken from Geneva, but the cross stanids for the cross of, calvary for which blood was shed for the protec- tion of mankind. After having or- ganized, reorganized, extended work, the government took over the Red Cross In 1905 and it became part of the government with our president as president of the Red Cross. Since 1905 we have spent more than ten million dollars, two million dollars of which was spent In San Francisco. 1 am going to ask you to separte your thougit from war and let you think of it as a symbol of brotherhood, so great an organization that it knows uo other religion than that of God. To Protect the Home. The Red Cross for the protection of the homes, the life. the child life and the school life. The Red Cross can become the most helpful work in the world, Mrs. Anderson spoke of the organization of the New London chapter and the extensive membership campaign, carried on there which was a great success. Continuing Mrs. An- derson said, “We are in War! The re- sults, the end, no one knows. Not a Pacifist. I am a member of the Peace Or- ganization, but I am not a Pacifist. I believe that when we have to meet a situation that we meet it right.in the face. ~Mrs. Anderson told of the peace meeting in New York which she attended. During the time that the meeting was discussing _peace, Ger- many was preparing for the present great world conflict, the zreatest the world has ever seen. Thank God there will be a turning over and we must not forget our part and our duty. 1 am appealing to you for member- ship for the sake of one who has the work so much at heart in your city I am not here to instruct but to tell the depths of my feeling in the inter- est of the Red Cross. We are en- deavoring to bring to New London a bage hospital In connection with the naval base. Mrs. Anderson explai ed why Dr. R. W. McDowell was ab sent, owing to the fact that he is sta- tioned at the naval base awaiting a -all at any minute. “God Bless Little Belgium.” The final speaker of the evening was Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, paator of the Greencti'le Congresational church who yeferred to the thrills that one has in hic heart. When he sees the uniforms, the men shoulder the musket ready for tha nation’s call he said he also has in mind the call of the women who go furth as nur. who sometimes subject themse’ dangers as well as those who fight. The Red Cross narses and other nurs- es who come in touh with humanity are coming to their own. When Florence Nightingale saw the suffer- ing, wounded men she went to the commander and asked if this was civ- ilizeq warfare. One great heart was on fire for the elevation of humanity. I do not think the Red Cross is an organization that meets to make band- ages and talk over biblical characters. Rev. Mr. Ricketts refeérred to the bullding of hospitals in little Belgium. God bless her. he said, never to be as- sasinated again for crime of be- Ing little, Do you know that since the war broke out England has given seven million dollars towards the work, France about the same, but the Unitcd States, vastly richer, has con- tributed _hardly less than eleven mil- lions.

No food had Dassed his lips since Tuesday morning 2pd he declared to the policeman that he was too proud to beg for it ang he was penniless. The case was one of the most pitiful that has come to the attention of the authorities in some time and the man proved beyond a doubt that he was worthy of all th sympathy accorded him. Patrolman Smith escorted the man to the Bradley Street Mission, where he was given a cup of tea and several ces of bread. The pangs of hunger eatisfied in a measure, the aged man again returned to the street, where he was discovered on the verge of tears by a reporter. An_investigution of his case proved that he had been in New London since except two nights have been spent in the tramp room at police headquarters. His body was bruised and sore from lying upon ‘the hard cement floor and he admitted that it was with difficulty that he aroused himeelf some mornings after almost sleepless nights. He said he had been employed in a machine shop at Moosup for 22 years, up to three weeks ago, when he was laid off hecause of his age. His wife died about three years ago and shortly afterward his two sons left home and he has not heard from them for more ‘han seven months. When he lost his employment at Moosup it was as a last resort that he went to New London. He said that since last Thursday he has visited the shipyards and other manufacturing plants in that section in the hope of setting work at his old trade, but at every place he was informed that he was too old to be of value. It was shortly before noon when a reported escorted him into the head- guarters of the Associated Charities. There he repeated his story to Secre- tary Edward D. B. Lynde. His refer- ences were investigated and found to be excellent. It was proven that his present circumstances were mot brought through bad habits. When Secretary Lynde handed him a slip of paper and explained that it would provide him with a 35 cent meal at a restaurant, the joy of the aged man knew no bounds. He was instruct- ed to go at once and eat and feturn immediately afterware MeaTiwhile Secretary Lynde investigated his case. When he returned he was made happy by the announcement that ho could report for work at the Palmer mill Thursday morning. ‘Now I can sec u ray of sunehine through . the dark clouds, thank you, was all he could say, and he left the Assoclated Charity rooms with smtles all over his ace. iDA FOLKENSON SENT TO STATE HOSPITAL Was Removed From County Jail Institution on Wednesday. to Ida Folkenson, who was arraigned in the New London police court on March 14 last, on the compiaint of a New London woman by whom she was employed as a cook, was Wednesday removed from the county jali, where he has since remained, to the state pital for the insane at Norwich by ‘atrolman Randall. In court the wo- man was found zuilty on a charge of breach of the peace and ordered to a fine of $15 and costs. She could not pay and was remanded to the jail.
