Beechhurst Opposes
Working Girls Home

Property owners at Beechhurst, Long
Island, expressed their determination
yesterday to spare no expense to pre-
vent Mrs. Grace Humiston from estab-
fishing a club for working girls in The
Castle. one Of the hsndsomest estates
in the exclusive village.
The owners rely chiefly on a clause
in the deed of every plot sold in that
development since 1906. prohibiting any
boarding house or any other establish
ment deemed Objectionable TO the com
munity. Steps have been taken toward
an Injunction, should that be neces-
sary, to forestall the proposed club. A
taxpayers association also is being or
gained.

started back. The ice was as bad as
ever. and we were forced 70 turn back
several times.
Eventually we had to go around
Wilson Home Sound to Herbert Island
and work down the coast closely, down
Parry Sound, across Melville Bay to
Devils Thumb. We didn't see the
Danmark on the return and got into
Disco on August II, just escaping a
terrific hurricane. The rest OF the trip
until we dropped anchor here this
morning was uneventful. The trip up
took US twenty-six days and the home
voyage four days less"
The Neptune bears out Captain Bart
let's story of unprecedented ice CON
ditions. Her bows are stove in, her
stem is split and she is leaking badly.
She has cargo Of skins, SCIENTIFIC
specimens and the usual amount Of
baggage accumulated by an exploring
party which has been working industri-
ously for four years. Macmillan greet
ed a newspaper man on her decks clad
in the rough shoes used in packing
over the ice, flannel shirt and seal cap.
He looked the picture Of health.
When Macmillan left this port four
years ago he had with him W. Elmer
Ekblaw, of the University of Illinois, as
ceologist and botanist; Professor
Maurice c. Tanquary, of the University
Of Illinois, zoologist; Ensign Fitzhugh
Green, l.. s. ~, a native OF Missouri,
engineer and physicist of the expedi-
ton; Jerome Lee Allen, wireless opera
tor; DR.. Harrison J. Hunt, of Bangor,
Ne, surgeon, and Jonathan c. Small, OF
Proyincetown, Mass, mechanic and gen.
eral aid.
Ekb!aw's Feet Frozen
Small was the only man who re-
NAMED with Macmillan during the
whole trip. Tanquary, Green and Allen
left in January, 1916, and got home
safely, although Tanquary had two toes
frozen. In December of the same year
DR.. Hunt and Ekblaw started by dog
team across Melville Bay TO Upernavik,
reaching Disco, whence Hunt got home
safely. Ekblaw, however, had both feet
frozen and had to remain at Disco with
DR.. Rorsild, the eminent scientist, and
was picked up by the Neptune Oh her
homeward passage. 49,,
Captain Bartlett's relief expedition
was the third one sent out. DR.. Gren-
fell's Labrador missionary schooner
the George B. Cluett, was fitted out IN
July, 1916, to go to Etah. The ship
was built especially for rough work IN
the ice, but was unable 10 get through
the heavy foes. Then Or. Hovey fitted
out the Danmark. which met with no
better success. The last news Mac
MILAN had Of the Danmark she had
been badly npped by the ice and there
was scurvy aboard, causing the ex-
plorers some worry rs 10 her fate. q,
Captain Bartlett, who was selected
10 make the third try 70 bring out Mac
MILAN. is we'll known wherever Arctic
exploration is discussed. He was with
Peary on several of his Polar voyages
and was in command of the Roosevelt
on Pearys last successful dash for
the pole. Peary honored the doughty
captain By keeping him with him until
the final dash for the pole, thus giving
Bartlett the distinction Of being the
only white man, besides Peary, TO get
so near the top OF the world.
Captain Bartlett will go direct to
New York on Tuesday. with DR.. J. g..
Knowlton. Of New York, who was
physician on the Neptune.

THE war lays it's hand
upon us this Christ
mas.
The Ginning carols may
seem almost lost amid the
blasting of the guns. The
candles in the windows of
our homes will shed their
little beams into a world
brilliant with liquid flame.
We will celebrate Christ's s
birthday singing g.. and
on earth peace, goodwill
toward men, while we urge
our sons to train their minds
and their bodies for the kill
ing Of their brothers. But
the Red Cross has taught
those of us who have suf-
fered, to see double: and it
will be a. Red Cross Christ
mas this year, wherever
Americans are grouped to-
gether. -" s> .
This is what 1 mean by
seeing double: there are over
100000 members of the
American Red Cross and the
campaign drive now opening
should result in over I5,OOO,-
900. That doesn't seem big,
Tor we have become used to
larger figures. But the

place, far from the inspira-
ton of. her Chapter, making
with her work worn hands

one woman seems great. She
is the spirit of the Red Cross.

country last year for candy.
We have learned to talk and
think in billions. But one
cent can buy enough iodine
to disinfect a wound-and
the disinfection of that
wound may save a human
life.
And, after experience with
the wounded, there comes
the time when one sees in the
horror of the shattered flesh,
the beauty of the spirit.
Ut is a strange holiday for
l. us Americans, with our
new excitementS and our new
emotions; our new soldiers
IN environments or foreign
trenches, and our new sailors
on mined seas; reports of
our first dead, and our letters
from the front; our fears and
our elationS; and the occaS-
ional flash of vision of hun
dredS of thousands of bows
and men in khaki in miles
upon miles of army barracks.
Many of them, too, are
aching with new tenderness.
1t is the time of times, in
our new puzzlement and
need, to sing the Christmas
carols of glad prophecy. The
city chimes and village or
gans, singers going from
door to door, will chime and
peal and carol as they never
have before, the Christmas
message of good things and
great JOY which shall be to
all people.
We owe it to onr men to
sing it with full hearts, so
that the spirit of it will reach
their battleships and their
camps. They must never
forget the happiness of this
Christmas, the last, doubt
less, before they go across to
offer-all they have.
The Red Cross is trying,
and expects to send every
man in training a Christmas
parcel of Christmassy things
as a symbol to show him how
much we care, and the things
we cannot say in words. The
boys in their barracks will be
CeleDfatlng, swapping pres
ents, joking and singing,
adding a Christmas song to
the familiar round of swing
ing choruses. But before
another Christmas perhaps a
million more young soldiers
will have followed them over
seas.
COME of them, until the
~ day they put on the uni
form, knew only school fun
and home love. Their stock
ings were darned, their favor
lite things to eat were cooked,
every minute of their holi-
days planned, their young
hopes regarded with yearn-
ing eagerness by their fam
lies. Some of them were
born seemingly to be knock
ed around, and have the hard
end lonely end of things.
Both are going abroad to-
gether now, serving the col
ors, defending our lives with
the offer of their own.
There will be a day when
one of these boys will be hurt.
Suddenly his strong young
hndv will he n,,ite helr,lecs

IN THE NAME OF FRANCE
ITHANK YOU.
God receive your Souls!
Farewell!


There is a mother who works in
her home and her church for the
Red Cross who said that the high
est points of her life, and her deep
est happiness were the times her
son, a new young second lieutenant
home on furlough, talked with her
as they washed the dishes together
at the kitchen sink.
How it is these humble things,
and not the dramatic ones, that
bind us together and thrill us now
How to those whom the war has
touched, people are not so much
Generals or Colonels, or Presidents
or servants or ice-men or tailors or
scrubwomen or Kings, as fellow
human-beings; and how the hope of
radiant youths have died and are
to die for. centers upon the little
children.
NNIIS is thinking in Red Cross
ways. For the ideal of the
Red Cross Treaty signed in
GenevS by the delegates of nations,
is merely this: that every suffering
human being in war, whether be-
longing to friend or enemy, shall be
sacred to the Red Cross. Yet the
symbol of the treaty is so great,
that it is the meetingground of the
most conflicting races and the most
conflicting creeds; of men and wom-
en- and children; of black and white
and yellow and red; of rich and
poor; of Jew and Gentle; of Catho-
lie and Protestant; of Buddhist and
Confucian; of ortist and artisan;
of materialist and idealist; of SOL
dier and civilian; of general and
private; of Foe and Adversely
the Red Cross!
So we put candles in our win
dows this Christmas Eve, that the
Pickering point of light shining
through the Red Cross on the win
dow-pane may say to the way
farer and the soldier and the
sailor, things too great for words.
They will understand. For in this
overwhelming trouble we have be-
gun to be simple of heart together.
The poor and the rich have begun
to understand the others saori-
fees. ..a
And so we can sing Christmas
carols and not be hypocrites; for
the guns that are killing men SO
anguishingly dear to US are blast
ing out old wrongs and old hypoc-
ricies.
The Red Cross is our home way
to help. The need is too great for
us to compass even in our minds.
The organization of the American
Red Cross can do the things we
cannot do ourselves-it can ar
range the shipping, and carry our
gifts, it can get them to our men,
it can, if we let it, look after our
mems little children left at home.
If you are not a member of the
Red Cross you are needed beyond
your imagining.
Please help-because you are so
needed.
To get the Red Cross to our boys
and our mem
This is a Red Cross Christmas |!
