There was a session of the L. S. natur-
alization court at the Memorial building
Thursday. There were quite large num-
Der of applicants for first papers, as well
as those getting final papers.
As many as 500 men, women and chill
dren attended the Red Cross rally at the
opera house Thursday evening. This au
dence was greatly disappointed in the
non-appearahce of Sergt. Thomas NJ
Burns of Montreal, p. G., who had given
the committee every assurance that he
would certainly be present. Mr.. Burns
was expected to tell some interesting
things concerning the war itself and the
work of the Red Cross at the front in
France, and his absence was entirely I'M
avoidable as far al those in charge were
concerned Mr.. Pratt was also another
absentee, although he notified the chair
man of the committee in the morning
that it would be impossible for him to be
present. That left only one speaker of
the evening, Hon. c. II. Darling of Bur.
lington, and he came in on the train that
was one hour and a half late, and in the
meantime S. f. Darling, ir., took up
few minutes in explaining the pledge
cards to be used in the present campaign
of raising 81 200. The boy scouts intro
duced a first aid stunt in the way of
fire scene that took well, and also six
scouts gave a setting up exercise drill
that was done in good shape, and again |
the scouts came in very handily ON this |
Mr.. Darling spoke very inter
nstingly about the war, picturing many
things that brought the fact home to us |
in more clear and concise manner Just |
what this great struggle means and may |
mean to the United States before the end |
Is in sight.
