SIXTY-FOUR YEARS MARRIED

Mr.. and Mrs. James McCrossen will
return to Wausau from their visit in
Waupaca county this evening. Tomor-
row, July 4th, is a day of more than
ordinary Importance to them. 1t is
not only the day that marks the birth
of our country, but on that day in 1853
they were united in marriage. Mr.. Nc
Crossen came from Calais, Me-, to Osh-
kosh, in 1850. In 1852 he was engaged
in the mercantile and Touring mill
business. He was united in marriage
to Cornelia A. Jones, and Tor sixty
four years they have travelled down
life's pathway together. Like all who
have lived on this earth, there have
been long stretches strewn with flow
ers, and lighted up with sunshine,
again the way has been rugged, full of
hardships and there have been lower
ing clouds; but withal, happiness has
reigned supreme throughout. Well
fortified with dispositions to take
things as they came" they can look
back and rejoice over the knowledge
of a well-spent life and for the mani
fold blessings and comforts which they
have enjoyed.
Inoy came TO WauSau III 1911 anu
resided here until Mr.. McCrossen re-
tired from active business, some ten
years ago, and their home is now in
Pasadena, Cal. They come back near
ly every year and are here now on a
visit of several weeks.
The day will be celebrated in a quiet
way by the family and relatives.
The Pilot joins with their hosts OF
friends in best wishes.

RED CROSS INTEREST GROWING

Marathon county did itself proud in
the first campaign to raise money for
the Red Cross. This county's allot-
ment was $4,000, which was largely
over-subscribed, the amount having
reached the sum of 40,76S.1S. The same
was true during the campaign for the
Liberty bonds-the county being over
subscribed considerably.
The rapid growth of the Red Cross
since the declaration of war and the
extension of it's activities to all parts
of this country illustrates the desire
to render definite service to the ma
ton in it's war need.
Red Cross activities have been car
ried on extensively since this coun-
try went into war.
Last Sunday was Patriotic or Red
Cross Sunday, and collections were
taken up in the Sunday schools for
Red Cross work
Rooms have been equipped at the
Y. M. C. A. building with sewing ma
chimes and tables, and Wausau ladies
are spending much of their time in
doing Red Cross work. The rooms are
open every afternoon of the week ex-
SOpIllS ooIul uty anu IIC IOuIS oil z
from two to five o'clock. Materials are
furnished for gauze surgical dressings
and muslin bandages. Instructors can
be found in the working rooms every
afternoon and Wausau ladies can
serve their country by helping in this
work
Boxes have been donated for the
packing of finished articles. Any
one having a show case to donate to
the local Red Cross working rooms
will be gladly accepted by the work
ers. The ladies would like to place
some of their work on display to give
those desiring an opportunity of view
ing the work they are doing.
Mrs. Ella Barnaby Smith of the
Wausau hospital, who is a member of
the Buffalo, N. Y, Chapter OF the Red
Cross in the professional nurses di-
vision, speaks to the workers on Tues
day and Friday afternoons on Red
Cross work. Her talks include re
quirements in Red Cross work. what
is being accomplished, what there is
still to be done, and she handles the
subject in general way, These talks
are very interesting to her listeners
and have proven helpful in carrying
on the work.
Last evening a group of young la
dies contributed their services to this
most worthy cause. This was the sec
ond Monday night meeting given over
to this work by our young ladies.
The Marathon County Chapter of
American Red Cross now has a mem

The attempts of the German crown
prince (so-called) to break the defenses
which the French have formed on the
lower sector of the great war front in
northern France have thus far resulted
merely in beating the Germans heads
against a granite wall Moreover, after
every desperate assault by the crown
prince tso-called), the French advance a
little further and increase the pressure
on the German line itself, while to the
northward the British are alternating
the plan of steady pressure with vigor-
Gus thrusts. Finding themselves unable
to break the bonds that are binding them
closer and closer and feeling the steadily
growing pressure of the advancing army.
the Germans under Won Hindenburg may
be getting ready to make another one of
those strategic retreats for which that
leader is most famous. For several
weeks there have been rumors from press
correspondents on the western side of the
great war line that the Germans were
preparing another backward march to.
ward their own territory. 1t is possible
now that such a move is in contempla-
ton.

u. s. A. will be here. Extract from
letter by Private G. Thompson OF the
LIST Canadian battalion to The Times
printed May 81.
Private Thompson undoubtedly put
into words the thought and the hope OF
every fighting man on the side of the
entente alliance, whether they be Brit
ish, French, Italian, Belgian, Serbian, Rn-
manian, Russian, Portuguese or other
nationality. In fact, the whole entente
world, governmental, civil and military,
is awaiting anxiously the time when the
| fighting forces of the United States will
be lined up shoulder TO shoulder with
their co-fghters for the right, for de-
moeraey and for permanent peace.
Every day they watch the paper to see
the trend of events in the great western
republic, a republic of 04,000,000 souls,
of the greatest wealth in the world, OF
as splendid fighting traditions as any
nation possesses. That great republic
having cast its lot with the entente allies
under great provocation from the central
powers and because the entente cause
represents the high purpose OF making
men free from autocracy, they have
right to expect much from the United
States. The potential fighting resources
of the United States are just now not
surpassed by those of any other nation
of the world. We have great number
of men available for war service (per-
haps as many as 20,000,000 of war serv-
ice age, we have plenty of financial re-
sources to carry on great war, we have
countless factories already turning out
tremendous quantities of munitions OF
war and others which could be utilized
for that work, we have large number
of shipyards building commerce vessels
for the support of our allies, we have a
navy which stands perhaps second in the
world at least no worse than third--all |
these resources we have and much more. |
No wonder, then, that the nations with
which we are aligned are anxiously
waiting for the time when the United
States will throw it's huge strength
against the world -domineering scheme Of
the hated Hohenzollerns. So, as Private
Thompson writes, Eve watch the paper
every morning to see when the boys from
the good old Z. S. A. will be here"
The United States cannot, must not,
iisappoint its allies in any particular.
