BY STEPHEN PACE

-
Chairman of Red Cross is Sumter Co
The war Council of the American
Red Cross has conceived that great
national purpose will be served by
having membership in the Red Cross
almost as universal as citizenship.
Although pledged as nation to the
national purpose during this great
crisis, it will not be granted to a
large percentage of us to play part
in the fighting branches of our coun>
tly's service.
All of US, however, can pc identified
with the Red Cross, which in these
times, when whole nations are organ
lied for warfare, is big enough and
strong enough to carry some of the
burden for our soldiers, our sailors
and our allies.
Therefore, by proclamation of the
president of the United States, and
under direction of the national officers
of the American Red Cross, the week
teginning the sixteenth of December
and ending the twenty-ffth, has been
designated as Red Cross Membership
Campaign Week for the pro-
curing fifteen million Q5,000,000)
members for the Red Cross in the
United States Of this number the
Americas and Sumter County Red
Cross chapter and its branches, has
been allotted fifteen hundred.
The primary objects of this increas-
ed membership at this time are three;
First That it might afford every
American citizen an opportunity to
remember the American soldier and
sailor at Christmas time, through his
membership in this organization.
Second-At Christmas time, be-
cause the American Red Cross is do
ing today-acts of voluntary mercy,
ministering unto the sick; providing
for the cold and hungry-what Christ
did while on earth; it is, therefore.
the most fitting season;
Third.-To provide more funds With
which to continue and further promote
t1is noble work.
Therefore, in accordance with the
action Of the directors and officers of
the Americus Chapter, notice is hereby
given to all present members that
theil membership will expire this date
December 10th, 1910 and that AL
further memberships will date from
this date. ana you are urgently invited
and requested to renew your member
ship at once.
The price of all regular annual
memberships will be $1.00 as before
In case you wish to subscribe to the
Red Cross Magazine, the membership
will be $500, and all members, who
are able, are requested to take the
subscribing membership" as you
will find the magazine most interesting
and instructive reading.

100000 MEN
NOW BEAR ARMS
SIZE OF UNCLE SAM'S ARMY HAS
GROWN GREATLY-OV THRI
HUNDRED THOUSAND ARE REG
UI1ARS.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec 15.-The State
Defense Council has received from
Washington statement showing what
we are doing in war and what we are
getting for our money, and in accord
ance with the desire of Governor
Whitman is making it public as fol-
lows.
The latest official figures put the
number of enlisted men in the ar
mics of the United States at 1,360,0 900.
This is the force that has grown IN
eight months out of an army which
Oh April l numbered only 10000,
Most of them are still in the train
ing camps. Many of them are not
yet disciplined troops, fully equipped
and armed for battle. But there they
are 100000 of them. already one Of
the biggest factors Hindenburg is
reckoning with for the campaign Of
1918. To lead them there are over
$4,000 officers. When the graduates
of the second training camp get their
first orders the number will be over
100,000-as many officers as there was
privates nine months ago
OF the new American force over
100000 men are regulars In all the
world only two regular armies remain
the American and the japanese. The
others have all been swept away in
the flood of war When the first
American onslaught takes place Ger
man Landwehr and Landstrum troops
will find themselves opposed to an
army of professional soldiers.
Behind the rgulars are 100000
soldiers of the National Guard, regu-
lars in experience, many of them,
thanks to our neighbor the South.
After the guard come the 100000 men
Of the new National Army
The whole military establishment,
with the marines and the auxiliary
forces thrown in, numbers million
and half The expansion that has
taken place is as if Grand Rapids had
grown in eight months to be virtually
as big as Philadelphia.
The first thiEg to be- done for the
new army was to provide them with
shelter and clothing, food and warmth.
That large undertaking is all but az
complished. Equally great is the task
of providing arms. To arm an n
fantry division in the Civil War meant
to provide as many muskets and as
many bayonets as there were men ia
the command, In the present war
the Job is more complicated. There
are rifles and bayonets to be furnished
now as formerly, but there are also
grenades and gasmasks and helmets
and trench mortars to be seen to
Each of the four infantry regiments
iii division must have 480 trench
knives, 1872 automatic rifles and three
cne-pounder cannon.
The 76S men of the machine gun
battalion and the 5,06S men of the
fcld artillery brigade must have ma
chine guns and three-inch guns n
numbers that would stagger an artil-
lerist even of so recent a period as
the war with Spain.
Two hundred and seventy-five thou
sand troops were made ready to fight
Spain in 1898, though only 10000 or
item were actually engaged.
