selves with the serial number allot-
ted each person by exemption

drawn the result will be reported

tary, which constituted the tenn
porary organization.

of Laclede and vicinity at the city
hall as soon as more definite in
formation and instructions could
be received from the headquarters
of the organizations.

mittee was appointed: Mrs. o. A.

L. Wade, Mrs. Harry Landree,
Mrs. G.. R. HamiII, Miss Edith
Mahurin, Miss Lillian Sensintaffar,

Mrs. c. G. Bigger.
Nearly everybody is familiar
with the achievements of the Red
Cross-with the organized helpful
ness, heroism and self sacrifice of
it's men and women amid the
horrors of war, devastating plaques
and epidemics and in great dis
asters.
Do you know that as an Ameri-
can you have the right to become a
member of the Red Cross7 That
by the payment of small annual
dues, and a little unselfish service,
you can support your government
in it's humanitarian work?
Your circumstances may not
permit you to engage in field work
few members can-but you can
hep; your family and your friends
can help by becoming members of
the Society and by actively sup
porting your local Red Cross
Chapter.
Your help is needed now. To
support its field and base hospitals,
its doctors and nurses, and to pro-
vide the necessities of military and
civilian relief, calls for at least
5000, 900 members. America can
do what other nations have done.
No field service is required of
members.
The city hall should be filled at
the mass meeting to be held soon,
the exact date of which cannot be
given now, at which Mayor Allen
will preside. The local chapter
should start with at least 100
members.

BY 4 STAFF CORRESPONDENT
OF the Associated Press.

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, Wednesday Evening, May
9.-"Sorry we saw only one German
bird-and he made off quickly" This
was the Eist of the report made by
ten American aviators on their return
this evening from a long search eX-
tending from St Quentin to Craonne
The Americans, who had been far over
the German lines. gathered around the
American Flag which floats beside the
Tricolor on the aviation ground and
related to Captain Thenault, com
mander Of the squadron, incidents Of
the reconnaissance. The Flag is the
first American emblem to be flown
by American fighters on the French
front.
Machines Very Speedy.
The correspondent witnessed the de-
parture and return OF the Americans,
who fly in machines of great speed.
The task of the Americans is always
perilous, for they are obliged to seek
the Germans from their own territory,
but they are fully confident of their
ability to cope with enemy machines.
This confidence is shared by their
commander, who referred proudly to
the squadron's record of 32 German
airplanes, the destruction of which
has been confirmed, while others are
known, about 4 o'clock Greenwich
mean time on a parallel course and to
the southwark.
