ANBULA LANCE UNIT
IS WORKING HARD
Columbia Company at Allentown, "a.
Striving to Be Among First
Sent to France.

To the Editor of The State:
Since the arrival of the Columbia
ambulance company at training head
quarters it has undergone some
changes, having been divided into
three distinct units, each under sep
arate offers. 1t still retains its orig
inal number, 26, with sections 26, q
and %. Each section is made up OF
one first sergeant, one second ser
geant, one corporal, two orderlies, two
clerks, one chief mechanic, two as
sistant mechanics, one cook, two as
sistant cooks and "a truck and ambu-
lance drivers.
Section 26 has the following officers:
First sergeant, l.. NJ. Smith; second
sergeant, r. H. Banks, and corporal,
H. =. Livingston Section q First
sergeant, J. n. Platt; second sergeant,
T. A. Fridy and corporal, L. p. Alt
man. Section %: First sergeant, D.
R. Wallace; second sergeant. W. e.
Ragsdale, and corporal, C. E. Mont
gomery.
A. company is made up of five full
units or sections. Our company lacks
two units of meeting this requirement,
so, in order that we may have a full
South Carolina company, commanded
by a. South Carolina captain, every
officer and private is doing his Ut
most to secure the desired units i'm
mediately.
We are hard at it drilling and get
ting in trim generally for early SER
vice, as we have been notified that
the first ready will be the first to
get off to France. Watch and See
who is among the first! Our men are
still young in the business but are
optimistic and in high spirits gener-
ally.
Of course our hearts are back in
the old Palmetto State and our minds
cften revert to relatives, friends and
others, to whom it was so hard to
say goodbye.

RED CROSS WEEK.
President Wilson Urges People Of the
United States Raise Some Sl,J0G,OW
War Fund for the American Red
Cross, South CarOlina's Share
S3GG,GO0.

1t is an immense sum which the
people of the United States are ask
ed to subscribe as war fund for the
American Red Cross-s10000 900.
This is nearly seven times as much
as the initial appropriation by the
Confederate Congress for war pur-
poses But when the war of the
Confederacy began the belief was
general that it would be short, easy,
bloodless and inexpensive conflict.
The immensity of the work which the
American Red Cross must do from
now on in the present war is realiz-
ed also that the work cannot be &C
complished except at cost in treas
ure and in sacrifice which is very
great.
To understand why the American
Red Cross neeIs so much money 1t
must be remembered that it has a
work to do for our Allies as well as
for the great army of American SOL
diers and sailors now being mobiliz-
ed for service in the war against Ger
many. 1t will only be few months
until We have an army Of a million
men and a navy Of hundred and
fifty thousand men. It is the task
of the Red Cross to care for these
men when they are sick and wound
ed. The Red Cross must care also
for the distressed of other countries.
It must aid in combating tuberculo-
sis which has become prevalent in
France, as a result of trench warfare.
It must look after the homeless in
, the fifteen hundred towns and viii
lagos of France which have been laid
| waste. 1t must lend its aid to af-
Aicted Russia, where on line Of a
thousand miles there arc only 5000
ambulances, as against $4,000 on the
French front of four hundred miles
ALL it's resources will be taxed. no
matter how generous the response OF
| the American people to the appeal
now being made.
President Wilson has proclaimed
the week of Monday, Jpue 1926, as
"Red Cross Week He ras designat-
. ed some of the foremost business and
, professional men in the United States
! to lead in the campaign for the $780,
; 100000 war fund which the Red Cross
needs. South Carolina is called up
! on to subscribe to this fund. Public
spirited men in every county have
been asked to organize for the rails
! ing Of the money. The Red Cross Or
ganization OF the City Of Charleston
i; has already pledged itself to raise
| SIS COO as Charleston's share. 1t is
hnped that every man, woman and

have some part in this great and no.

movements success cannot fail to
send thrill throughout all the Allied

BIG GAME FRIDAY
Luther college Quint to Play w1llmar
At Seminary Gym.

A real treat is in store for basket ball
fans in this city. on Friday evening Of
this week. when the team from the
Luther College of Decorah, Ia, meets
the local city team. The game will be
played at the Seminary gymnasium,
and capacity crowd is looked for TO

this season. and unless the college team
meets defeat in the game to be played

two teams with absolutely clear records
for the season will face each other. The
Luther teams are recognized as the
fastests college quints in the middle
states; and each year turn out aggrega-
tions that are worthy Of holding their
own with the best of them. This sea-
son Isl no exception judging from the
record made by the team. One of the
members Of the squad is we'll known to
local people. Harold Tallakson, who
played a forward position on the Semi
nary team few years ago. Aatho he
is not on the regular team, he has been
getting into games regularly, and next
year bids fair to win a regular position.
He may play against Willmar Friday
evening.
The makeup of the team to face the
speedy visitors will be the same that
has represented the city in the games
to date this season. Harold Severinson
and Obbie Nordstrom will be at the for
ward positions. Tim Norling center,
with Buck and Bob Johnson at the
guards. Without a question these five
form the speediest team that ever rep
resented the city.
The game Friday evening will be call
ed at eight o'clock sharp, and the price
of admission will be twenty-five cents
for all. The expenses Of bringing the
Luther team here are exceedingly
heavy, making it necessary to charge
the one price.
