DR.. Hugo Summa,

At st. Louis, Mo-, Saturday, Decem-
Der Is, 1917, died DR.. Hugo Summa, in
his 9th year. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon.
About seventeen years ago he first
became known to Arcadia Valley,
when he acquired property in Russell
vile and established a summer home
on the old Delano'homestead. He en-
lsrged the dwelling and beautifled the
grounds, shaded by giant oaks of
primeval growth, with loving zealand
at great expense. The extensive lawn
is decorated with trees and shrubbery
from distant lands, and in these he
took much pride. He was an educat-
ed herbalist and took pleasure in
arboriculture. The Valley home,
which alas! shall know him no more
is of the most beautiful in the
Arcadia Valley, aud endures a monu-
ment to his rare good taste and love
of nature. DR.. Summa was a physi.
clan whose name went far beyond
State lines in acknowledgment of his
skill and proficiency, but we knew
him as a welcome, genial summer Wis
itor, and as such shall hold him long in
kindly remembrance. ..
To the bereaved family the REGISTER
extends earnest sympathy.

Here to Boost the
"Y" Campaign,

1--WE have a responsibility which
cannot be met alone by furnishing
credit and man power to the suffering
nations OF Europe. We must enter
into the fellowship of their suffer-
ings." Thus spoke George d. Nc
Dill, international secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian association,
in an address before the Commercial
club yesterday,
This he said after he had outlined
the conditions in the hospitals, in the
trenches and in the homes all over
Europe.
The magnitude OF the suffering and
sacrifice he outlined as follows.
Magnitude Of Suffering.
Five million men and boys have
been killed.
Seven million have been hopelessly
mutilated aside from the 20 per cent
OF the wounded, who are patched up
and sent back to the lines.
Six million are in prisoner-of-war
camps OF from 5000 to $4,000 men.
with conditions in many cases worse
than Andersonville prison in the civil
war.
Five million are now in naval and
military hospitals.
Secretaries OF the Young Mems
Christian association. he said, had
gone with the Canadian and Indian
troops early in the war and introduced
Young Mems Christian work at the
front. "The work is now established
at $500 points" he said. "One Of the
buildings or 'huts' was given by Queen
Mary OF England. More money was
given by England for Young Mems
Christian association work during the
first year of the war than in all pre-
ceding years combined. The work in
France and Italy is being conducted
by American secretaries"
The speaker told Of the work in
