What II Means 10 Become Member
of the Red Cross

1t seems little explanation is nee
essary as to the privilege and duties
of the members of this great organza-
ton, its cost to each member and the
great philanthropic work which it
accomplishes.
The American Red Cross is char
tered by Congress. The President of
the United States is president of The
society. The Red Cross reports to
Congress; its accounts are audited by
the War Department; all that it does
is open to public scrutiny. Since
1905 the American Red Cross has ex-
pended over fifteen million dollars in
money and relief supplies among
thousands of families preventing suf-
fering and misery at such times as the
San Francisco Fire, the Ohio Valley
floods, the Titanic and Eastland" dis
asters and many other catastrophies,
involving loss of life and suffering.
Now comes the horrors of war, and
the great work cut out for the Red
Cross is such as to make every Amer
lean, no matter what age or sex, feel
it their privilege as we'll as duty to
become a partner in the urgent need
This means only small sacrifice on
the part of each but taken collective
ly accomplishes much
The annual dues are so meager as
to allow any and all to membership
and the obligations are such as to tax
nobody beyond their ability to serve.
Let everybody in Skowhegan get to-
gether on this as they have in all
worthy causes. Come on, to help in
this great work for humanity.
Headquarters are open daily at the
Dodge Block, where Mrs. Clarence
Hight, Sec. is in charge

SURVIVOR
SEEKS ANOTHER
TASTE OF WAR
CONTINUED from Page y

After the Ypres charge, when only Is
men were returned to the hospital,
the regiment was wiped out, although
there 10 q probability that q few more
escaped death and were captured by
the Germans.
Corporal Edwards, who was q mem
Der OF the regiment and was cap
tured, relates his experience and his
attempts to escape, the second of
which was successful, in a recent
number of Golfers magazine. Pri'
Eate de Young was told of this article
this morning. He witnessed the stir
ring events Of which it tells.
Private de Young, four days after
the war started, went to France, cross
ing the Atlantic on the Inflated Lust
tanfa, and going to Paris enlisted first
in the foreign legion, later securing
a transfer to the Princess Pats"
Recruits in the British army are
supposed to be Britishers, and Pri-
vate de Young's attitude when ques-
toned as to where he was born is
reminiscent Of a recent magazine
story of an American recruit in the
English army who was not very strong
on geography, He had been coached
to tell the recruiting officer that he
was born in Canada. This he did, but
when asked from what province, he
replied Kentucky" and the British
records state that he was born in
Kentucky, Canada"
AS a matter of confidence, Private
de Young first began taking an in
terest in affairs of this world war in
Deer Lick, Cal, near the Arizona and
Mexican border. A good part of the
rest of his life, until the European
war started, was spent in Santa Bar
bara and Los Angeles. But, of course,
he is Canadian as the British enlist
ment records testify. In an innocent
air, with a twinkle in his eye, he
asks: Isn't a Canadian an Amerf-
CAM" incidentally 1t is authorita-
lively stated that there were 1853 Amer
ieans-that is the kind born in the
United States--in the Princess Pats. -
Private de Young has only one wor-
ry. He managed to pass the exam
lining physician in Fiji, in spite Of his
bullet fractured leg, which he declares
has fully recovered. But he Is not
so certain that he will be successful
when examined by an army physician
in England, and is anxious to be in at
the close Of the war, as he was at its
beginning.
If appearances count for anything,
Private de Young will not be rejected.
He Is fully six feet high, with weight
in proportion--in fact typical type
Of the ranger-eowboy specimen Of
manhood found in the southwestern
border states. . -.
