Mills and Frisby were indeed for
tunate in securing the services of
Miss Fannie Wise to come direct from
Boston, Mass, where she had Just
finished an engagement over Keiths
Vaudeville Time. Miss Wise, who
was the star with the late Williams
and Walker, is without doubt the
very best colOred singer that has
been to Nashville in a long time. We
feel that her appearances here should
have been given more attention,
since she represents the best and
highest along musical lines.
Miss Wise is a big sensation on
white time, and the various white
houses clamOr for her appearance on
big time. 1t is pity that we have
not learned to appreciate our own.

we were extremely highly elatef
over the high-class photoplays pre-
sented at this house We must urge
our people to give their liberal sup
port to the Star not because it is
owned and controlled by Negroes,
but because they are showing pic
lures that are worth seeing. Mr.. T.
Clay Moore is certainly to be con.
graduated on his high plane of man
agement. He sees that only the best
pictures are shown in his house.

Various stories continue to circu-
late regarding need of knitted gar
ments. If they are of no use, as
some Perth Amboyans claim to have
been told by Camp Dix soldiers. why
do the boys at that camp and others
IN all parts of the world continue to
pour their requests for the equipment
into the local Red Cross office?
Ii they are not needed why did the
Red Cross division officials in New
York City purchase $4,000 sweaters
and send the following notice to the
Perth Amboy chapter?
1T is imperative that all the sweat
ers, wristlets and socks that can pos
slbly be made by the women Of the
country should be turned into the
supply department at the earliest pos
sible date. With the cold weather
coming on the demand for the sweat
ers, especially, has been beyond the
capacity of all our resources to sup
ply.
I'VE have forwarded promptly all
knitted articles received from the
chapters and have in addition been
compelled TO buy in the market. =
The requests Of our organization
in France for sweaters and knitted
goods have had TO remain unsatfsfied
on account of our inability to secure
enough for men in our own army and
navy. We call upon the women to
give us their very best effort from
now on until at least January l. that
we may be able to furnish our own

men with the comforts and have
some to spare for the dire need in
France"
The men and women who are criti-
clsing this work should call on Mrs.
LaRoe chairman of Red Cross knit
ting, and read the large packet of
grateful letters from our boys" It
is not only for physical comfort the
boys are grateful as uniforms could
not be furnished fast enough to meet
Unexpectedly early chill weather, but
also for the evidence that the folks
back home are keeping them in mind.
The effect on morale is even greater
than that on comfort.
Red Cross representatives are in
every camp. They know whether the
knitted goods are acceptable and
needed. The Red Cross has too big
JOB on hand 10 urge it's various
units into unnecessary work.
Those who have information-no
from few unappreciative soldiers
whose garments may have been in
ferior in workmanship, but from
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of our boys in the camps as well as
from army officers here and in
France, urge US to knit, and knit and

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 26:-Mrs
Catherine Lally, of High street,
mother Of Thomas Lally. whose name
appeared last week in the list made
public by Local District Board 1S9 as
a Stacker, has been before the local
board and made affidavit that her
son is in the service. Mrs. Lally made
the statement that her son enlisted
in the Staten Island Battalion of the
naval militia and is now serving on
the u. S. S. Corrington. He was on
the draft list and when his name was
called he was away and his mother
failed to notify the local board. His
name was published along with the
others.
Michael Soltanich, of Butler ave-
nue., whose name appeared as not
having answered the draft call to be
examined has since qualified before
the board. He failed to receive his
notification card when sent out. The
card was sent out for him as Mark
Hitanico, of 80 Butler avenue.
Joseph Sitter, of Kreischerville,
says he is no Stacker either. His
name appeared in the list as Joseph
Litter and that was the reason he
failed to receive his notification card
to appear to be examined. He is an
alien, born in Alsace-Lorraine, but
says he is ready to fight for Uncle
Sam any time. He has since been ex-
amined by the local board.
