In Memoriium


tina Hodges Gorsuch passed
away. The news came as a
great shock to her many friends.
We knew she was not well, but
her indomitable will and her de-
termination not to be 'ministered
unto, but to minister" kept even
those nearest to her from know
ing how really sick she was I'M
til the last few days before her
death. That was the key note
of her whole life to minister to
others.
She was a devoted wife and
mother. or her it can be said,
as of the perfect woman, she
looketh well to the ways of her
household and eateth not the
bread of idleness; her children
rise up and call her blessed. "
Her hospitality was boundless,
and we who were privileged TO be
admitted to her friendship know
how happy she was to entertain
us and watch for every slightest
want and supply it almost before
we were aware of the thought.
Before coming to Vashon she
was member of the Congrega-
tional church, but not finding her
own church here, she took deep
interest in all the work of the
other churches, and was often
called upon and cheerfully re-
sponded to the call to help in en-
tertainments by reciting some of
the beautiful poems with which
her mind was stored.
She was also deeply interested
in the Red Cross work, and
while not able to help with her
hands, she gave the benefit of
her wonderful memory and great
gift of recitation. We are all
proud to remember the night, a
few months ago, when she gave
the recital for the Red Cross
fund. 1t was delight to see
and hear her, and 1T is wonder
full, was heard one very hand.
We who knew how frail she was
feared the exertion and excite
ment would overtax her strength
but it seemed as though the
pleasure she gave and the good
she was doing was tonic for
her.
1t is impossible to realize that
we shall have her with us no
more.
She was born on August Z,
1888, in Cape Vincent, New York,
a little village on the Saint Law
renee river, but went when a
child to Elgin, Illinois, where
most of her early life was spent.
She was ever a lover OF books,
and was ambitious to become a
teacher, so fitted herself for that
work and taught for sometime in
Wisconsin
Jn 1860 she was married, in
E,gin. to j. G.. Gorsuch, and
went with him to live in the
wilds of Wisconsin, Many We're
the interesting stories she told of
pioneer life there.
In 1885 she came with her hus-
band and family to Vashon, and
has been one of the leading spir-
its of the Island ever since.
In 1910 Mr.. and Mrs. Gorsuch
had a very delightful surprise
when their friends gathered
around them to celebrate their
golden wedding.
And now they have both
crossed the bar" and we who
loved them have only the mem

This budget will carry the work up
to July l, 1918, according to the cal
culations of those in charge of the
gigantic operations.
AS Essential as the Red Cross
The money which is to be raised for
the soldiers of the American and al
lied armies is to be handled by the
American Y. M. G. A. No part of it
will go to this organization. The as,
sociations of this country have agreed
to take charge of this most essential
work for the government. The leading
generals of the army declare that the
work is as essential to the army as is
the American Red Cross.
Florida Men Will Share the Benefit
The money will be used to erect
buildings IN all of the camps and can
tonments of the American armies in
America, France and wherever else
the American soldier may be sent dur
ing the war. These buildings will be
heated in winter, contain books. writ
ing materials, and otherwise made
comfortable and homelike. Religious
services will be held, study classes
conducted and other arrangement
made to entertain the fighting man
from Florida while he is off duty. He
will be off duty a great portion of the
time. In all of the camps and can
tonments of America save the one at
Jacksonville the soldiers will have to
contend with snow this winter. Flor
ida soldiers will welcome a good
shelter after marching through snow
during the long, cold winter days.
State Will be Divided Into Districts
Arrangements are rapidly being
completed for the launching of the
campaign to raise 100000 in this
state for the benefit of the soldiers.
The state has been divided into seven
districts for the purpose of the work.
The funds, will be collected by the
Florida War Work Council of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
which was organized at Jacksonville
on October 25th, by representatives
from different sections. The sum of
35,000,000 is to be raised in this
country for war work with the armies
of this country and on rallies. The
Florida council will remit the funds
to the National War Work Council
which has charge of all the Ameri-
can work.

Berlin Claims Crushing Defeat for
the Italians in Another
Great Battle
(Associated Press)

The Italian retirement is slackenlng
and the opposing forces are at grips
at several points between Udine and
the Tagliamento river, where, the
Italians are expected to make their
first determined stand. The Teuton
effort to outfank the Tagliamento
position through the Carnic Alps ap-
parently is not resulting in gaining
ground rapidly. While the Italian
army on the Isonzo front was over
whelmed by the superior forces of
the Austro-Germans, reports from
General Cadorna's headquarters say
Mhis other armies were saved virtual
intact. The third army guarding
Ee Carso plateau got away with their
guns and other war material. The
wcenter OF the advancing Teuton line
is within four miles of the Taglia-
mento. Should the Teutons break
throupl .Csrnie Alps. and the
Itali4 to yield the Taglia-
nnento line before assistance, which is
being hurried, arrives, they still have
the Piava river on which to. make a
stand.
There has been little infantry fight
ing on the Aisne today, but the artil-
lery is active.
BERLIN CLAIMS THE BATTLE
The Italians have suffered another
crushing defeat, losing 10000 men
and 500 guns, when the Germans cut
off their retreat toward the lower
Tagliamento, Berlin reports. The
Germans also say they took two
bridge head positions on the Taglia-
mento river. Apparently they are on
the eastern bank of the river in
strong force.
SHIPPING LOSS WAS SLIGHT
Paris, Nov French shipping
losses for the week ending Oct. 28th
were two ships of more than 1900
tons and one smaller.
THIRTY AIRPLANES IN THE
RAID
London, Nov. 1.-About thirty air.
planes in seven groups participated in
last nights air raid. Three of them
reached the heart of London, but the
casualties and damage were slight,
the official report says.
The first group of planes dropped
bombs near the coast. Two more were
broken up by barrage fire on the
southeastern outskirts of the city.
Four turned back up the Thames half
way to London. Of the fifth group,
one or more machines penetrated
southeastern London as did some
machines of the sixth group. The
seventh was dispedsed before the
machines reached the outer defenses
of the city.
~ Eight people were killed and twen-
ty-one hurt during the raid.

NO RECEIPT BLANKS

The county tax collectors Office is
considerably annoyed by not having
any receipt blanks for issuing tax
receipts. The state authorities have
been appealed to, but it seems that
the public printer is too busy with
other matters to supply this most
necessary piece of printing. Perhaps
it would. be we'll to let the printing
of such work to the county printing
Offices throughout the state.
