Germans near Warsaw, three weeks
before war was declared IT was
the finest he ever saw and had classi-
fed wards with R. R. switches to each
ward so patients wounded could be
classified before the trains started
from the Front To know that he
saw this completed hospital three
weeks before war was declared al

NOTES OF THE RED CROSS

nv Io oI 21H 1eLO S1eOOo
AND DEFENSE COMMITTEE
The following, clipped from the
Chicago Herald, October 1, seems very
pertinent:
But those who come from wintering
in the trenches say, "Knit, for Gods
sake!" Lieutenant J. E. Moore, a
Chicago boy who has just returned
invalided from the French army,
for example, says: eve never had
enough clothes last winter to keen
US warm. We were always cold,
in varying degrees. Our feet were
wrapped in burlap over our shoes,
while for socks we often wound our
cloth puttees around our s4e
Hand-knit socks would have saved
many of the feet that were after
ward frozen but of wool for the
knitting there was practically none,
willing as the French women were
to ply their knitting needles. One
pair of socks issued to each soldier
was the rule, and these were never
removed from their owners feet
until they wore out Sweaters were
unheard Of How gladly would we
have welcomed their additional
warmth Fires, except for cooking,
were out of the question, as fuel
was impossible to obtain.
Goal is $50 ton in France now.
Even hospitals could not be kept
decently warm over there last win
ter. One visitor tells of finding sew
eral hundred men in a tuberculosis
hospital out of their beds, through
advanced cases, and downstairs
huddled in one room in the dead of
last winter. The one stove in the
place was in that room.
"Do not let anyone convince you
there is no need to knit. The men
in training at Fort Sheridan righ;
now appreciate the comforts of gifts
of knitted garments. How desper-
ate, then, must, be the necessity OF
getting big stores of warm. knitted
things across to France al once, as
advised by Mayor Graysor Murphy

COUNTY MILITARY BOAKD

While thehe is nothing of startling
interest developed in the work of the
county military board during the past
week, the secretary and his assistant
have kept steadily grinding away.
Of the last 300 registered men exam
ined only 76 were exempted on ac-
count of physical defects. Exemp-
tions or discharges on other than ply
sical grounds have not yet been pass
ed on by the board An order from
Governor Cox to send all colored Sc
lected men to camp Sherman October
9th was received, but as there were
but two colored men registered in
Fulton county and both of them were
defects the order does not effect this
county.
The office has received no infor.
nation as to when the balance OF
the county's quota will be called for

FOUR SONS IN SERVICE

Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Replogle Of Bry-
an have the distinction and honor of
having given their four sons to the
service for the cause of Democracy
in this great world war and parents
their willingness to all do their full
share. Mrs. Replogle is a sister of
Mrs. E. c. Sullinger of this village
and she is certainly entitled to a just
pride in her four sons: Harry is in
the Officers Reserve Corps at Fort
Benjamin Harrison; Glenn is serving
with Battery E. Second Ohio Field
Artillery at Montgomery Alabama;
Guy is with the 929th Infantry and
Beryle with the End company lst Bat

TREASURE AND TRINKET FIND

Saturday marks the close of the ma
tional campaign ,of "'The Treasure
and Trinket Fund" This campaign is
rather unique in that it does not ask
for money but discarded pieces of
jewelry and scraps of gold and silver
metal all of which is to be melted
up and the proceeds devoted to pro-
viding United States air soldiers with
necessary equipment, safe guards, care
and comfort not as yet provided by
the government. This branch of the
military service is destined to play
an important part in winning this
war and the men who are giving
themselves to it should have the
hearty support of all American citi.
zens Receptacles may be found al
both banks in Wauseon for contribu
tions. No bit of gold or silver i:
| too small to give.
