manent Organization Effected


not the first to become fully
aroused to the Importance Of Red
Cross work, the last week has
developed an interest that is en-.
tirely creditable, and the work is
now thoroughly organized.
AS we announced in the News
last week, Corporal Agate, born
in London, later a resident OF
British Columbia. married to q
Franklin County girl, has a fami-
ly of three fine children, and who
has served in the trenches in the
Great European war, was brought
TO McConnellsburg last Satur-
day evening by Chambersburg
Red Cross people, and addressed
the audience assembled in the
Auditorium. His story was thrill
ing from start to finish, as he
pictured the horrors Of the war
Oroughton The world through the
greed Of the German autocracy.
He made it plain that we are not
fighting the Germans as a peo-
pie, but that our war is against
an unholy government and for
the perpetuation of democracy.
This is Red Cross week, de-
signated so by the President of
the United States and by the
Governor Of our Commonwealth.
A million dollars is asked. Frank
lin county is raising $20,OOO.00,
and Fulton-we!l, all she can.
