PERMITS FOR TRAVELLING

No passport is required by the state
department to go to Canada, but per
sons subject to draft who desire to
cross the line are often delayed while
their cases are being investigated.
When any registered person desires
a passport or to go to Canada he may
apply to his local board for a permit.
If he is not likely to be called within
the period of the proposed absence
or if the board is otherwise assured
that his absence will not result in
evasion or of interference with the
execution of the draft law, he may
obtain the permit by giving his adj
dress while absent and by agreeing
to keep himself informed of any call
upon him and to return Immediately
upon call.

The churches held their regular
morning services as usual, but with
this exception all the other services
OF the day were union ones in the tab
ernacle. The attendance at the taber-
nacle meetings has been steadily in
creasing, and ii reached it's greatest
climax in the services of Sunday,
when it is estimated that over 2500
people were present. The subject a.

This is a most appealing work as APP
pears in the following article sent US:
The Red Cross is aiding the work
of the queen of the Belgians for the
children of her country. Thousands
Of undernourished, sick and orphan
children are in Belgium today, and a
home and care must be provided for
them. The Germans are willing to al
low some of these children TO De sent
out of the country. Twenty miles
from Limoges, in the southern center
Of France, on a hill outside a little
town called Troche, stands the fam
Gus monastery of La Grande Char
treuse, unoccupied at present. The
climate there is wonderful. Roses
bloom all the year round. There IS
plenty of fresh running water. The
buildings are superbly placed and
strongly built, including all kinds Of
constructions adapted to housing,
feeding and providing for more than
a thousand people. Permissi m was
given to use this place for the Be-
gian children, and it was rented from
the government by the Red Cross,
which supplies the funds for the work,
while the personnel and management
are provided by the Belgian commit
tee. On October 18th, the first 500 lit
tie Belgian boys and girls between
four and thirteen years of age arrived
after their long trip through Germany,

Establishments and what might DE-
Ye.op Is the work was advanced.
4 have been on the ground now
for OYER a month; have watched the
progress made by this band of work
ers have noticed the keen interest
and attention the secretary and his
corps have displayed in providing for
the wishes Of the men-and | want to
say that no argument was ever adj
yanced in favor of this movement that
was half strong enough to express the
real value OF this great army auxiliary
In the work of training men to be men.
"Scottie," as the secretary is familiar
" called by the men, is 0 g preach

mixer, can get up before a crowd of
fifteen hundred boys, tell them not
Of their faults and omissions, but as
Stunning that they are all o. X. good
fellows, incidentally inject into his re-
marks suggestions as to what to avoid
and what to do for the betterment Of
themselves and their companions.
"On the extreme end Of each regi-
ment is located one of these barracks
50x15O feet; inside are tables running
the entire length provided with writ
ing material free to the men; piano
and Victrola in either end, which are
called upon many times for extra
duty in Keeling off the good old home
melodies; the Office in one end with
counter, resembling somewhat a coun-
try store where men can purchase
stamps, postal cards, money orders
and many other things. which "Scot-
tie" keeps on hand. And there is the
library, and newspapers from up
North" that are eagerly scanned for
some item from the home town.
"All these things impressed me
strongly in the belief that not enough
importance is attached to this feature
of army life. principally through the
people Notwithstanding what use is
made of the money that is asked for
at different times for the conduct of
this work.
There are eight of these Y. NJ. c.

Now would any n say that the
money subscribed for this work is
thrown away; would any one say it
was foolishly spent? 1t is pretty
hard to write a letter huddled upon
a cot in a cold tent-not much en-
couragement for the boy to write home
under those conditions; but what a
fine incentive to walk into a warm,
wen lighted room, find pen and ink,
chair to sit on, a cherry good wen
ing bOys," one is instinctiyely led
10 pick up a pen, and the habit of
writing home is formed.
'Scottie' and his dog are always
on the job to help in any way. He

bad eye if you can't find the doctor,
feed all the stray dogs in camp if
they look hungry, and send you home
or tx you UP so you can get there in
case of those come at once" calls,
which come much too frequently here.
Everybody likes the secretary, whose
personality particularly fits him for
his duty. | hope there are more like
him associated in this great field of
work in the endeavor to keep home
folks in touch with the boy away.
Another organization that is doing
a wonderful work in the army is the
knights of Columbus. Here at Waco,
as in all the other great camps, a
knights of Columbus hall is built,
one Of the finest on the grounds. This
is open to everyone and is visited by
hundreds of the society of Knights of
Columbus. The same efforts are
made for the comfort of the men in
these halls as in the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ings. The men are made to feel at
home. Amusements are provided, and
opportunities for writing and for com
fort generally.
1t may not be generally known, but
the Knights of Columbus have con
tributed more individually than almost
any other society for the assistance
of the men in the army. They are
now raising a great fund for this
work among their own members and
friends. The state of Wisconsin will
raise the sum of $4,000 at once,
which means an assessment of $12
for each member Of the order.
"One of the beautiful things about
the army is that no man is known as
a member of one church or another.
Here every mans religion is respect
ed, and it would be impossible for an
officer to tell what church a man be-
longs to by the way he performs his
duty. In other words the army is
what it should be. 1t is free from sec
tartan strife. These noble young fell
lows who have enlisted, offering their
lives if need be, for the preservation
of our national liberties, have given
by their act the finest proof of their
loyalty to the country as well as to
their religion. All hail to them who
ever they are, wherever they are,
wherever they worship"

autoed to Middletown, Del, where
they met and defeated the fast Mid

Reynolds pitched fine game for
Rising Sun, having the Middletown
batters at his mercy at all times.
Finn was on the mound for the home
team and pitched a steady game, but
the Sun boys hit when hits meant
runs.
The real feature of the game was
the fielding of Joe Johnson. In the
eighth inning with the score tie he
made pretty stop and throw which
practically saved the day
The Middletown manager and
team treated our boys royalty, and
proved to be the best sportsmen the

Maryland's Hospital Quota For U. s.
Navy Completed.

Maryland has completed it's quota
of so Hospital Apprentices for the
United States Navy, assigned some
time ago by the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, and again has won commenda-
ton from the Navy Department.
There is still need, however, for
additional men in this rating, and
the Maryland recruiting authorities
at Baltimore, have not slackened in
their efforts to attract young men to
this branch of the service.
Special attention is called to the
opportunities for advancement for
hospital apprentices. They can
easily proceed through the Pharm-
acist's Mate Grade to the warrant
rank of Pharmacist, receiving the
pay, allowances and privileges of an
ensign.
Although every military unit in
the State is calling for recruits, and
there is considerable rivalry among
the various organizations, it is a
great satisfaction to the authorities
at Baltimore to note that Maryland
manifests preference for the Navy
There never was a time when
young men with the trade of ma
chinist had better opportunities Of
fered them than are now in the Navy.
There is an urgent need for ma
chinists, and those going INTO the
Navy in this capacity are promoted
as rapidlya as their qualifications
warrant.
Young men from the outlying
sections of the State can expedite
their enlistment in the Navy by sc
curing proof of their citizenship be-
fore the recruiting authorities.
1t should always be remembered
that all minors entering the Navy
must first procure the written con-
sent of their parents or legal guar
dian. Forms for this purpose can
be obtained from the nearest post
master
All other particulars of Navy en-
listments can be obtained from the
postmasters of the State; directly
from the Navy Recruiting Station,
Calvert and Lexington Streets, Balti-
more. or from the Navy Recruiting
'Sub-stations at Cumberland and

The midland journal., 1917-08-03


A soft answer may turn away
wrath, but it doesn't pay debts.
Don't worry about the future if
you would do well to-day. Half of
the things we worry about, never
happen.
Everybody wants something for
nothing, yet very few people are
satisfied with things they get that
way.
Doubtless the way of the trans
gressor is hard, but the people who
travel thereon never seem to get very
lonesome.
