RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

please rush standard surgical
dressings The cooperation of your
chapter is needed in order to meet
urgent demands" This is the appeal
made in telegram just received by
the Lancaster Red Cross. The mes
sage further states that "Red Cross
standard dressings in millions must
be sent abroad with all possible speed.
If this is not done, and done immedi-
ateIy, serious calamity and national
disgrace is inevitable. The American
women who compose the Red Cross
chapters should prepare with all the
enthusiasm and speed possible the
dressings which are going to mean life
or death to our own men,"
The Lancaster Red Cross expects
to see Ct great renewal of interest with
in the week The county board last
week granted permission for the Red
Cross to use one Of the jury rooms in
the court house as work room and
moving day will occur the last of this
week or the first of next. The new
room Will be we'll lighted and large
enough to accommodate at least five
work tables.
Mrs. G.. H Basford, who will be di-
rector of the WOrkroOm, has just re
turned from Chicago, where she took
instruction in the new type Of surgi-
cal dressings. Several types of dress
ings have been discontinued, some are
made with greater rapidity and eff
ficiency in mills. Simplicity, economy
and general adaptability characterize
the new standard of war service work.
The new workroom will not be used
as a committee room, or for knitting
work Certain regulations for surgi-
cal dressing work, laid down by head
quarters, will be strictly adhered to.
Each worker will be required to wear
a regulation Red Cross apron. The
room will be open on Tuesday, We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday after
moons and an effort will be made to
keep the productive capacity at max
imum at all times.

Lieut.. P. A. Howell, has arrived in
Beloit from Camp Macarthur, Waco,
Tex, on twentyfOur days leave OF
absence before going on the retired
list Lieut. howell had a hard time
making the required army weight on
his first examination and the hard
work at Camp Macarthur reduced
him again so that when another medi-
cal examination was held there he
was found several pounds below the
required figure. DR.. Howell joined the
dental staff of the new national army,
closing up his offices here to go to
camp. He will reopen his dental Of
fees in his former place and his future
plans will be determined by circum-
stances.
While in the Waco camp, DR.. How
ell met many Of the Beloit boys there.
The members of old Company L are
now in Companies G and d Of the
127th regiment and are all in Maj.
Bucks battalion. Contrary to reports
reaching the north, the general health
in camp is good, DR.. Howell declares,
only six deaths having been recorded
in the last seven months among
some $4,000 men.
That the national guard units will
all be on their way to France by the
first Of the year is the opinion at
Waco The officers there believe
that camp may be broken as early
at Nov. Is and that in a month, all
the soldiers there will be on their way.
This opinion is strengthened by
many incidents, among them being
the refusal Of the military authorities
to install steam heat in the base hos
pital and the failure to date to issue
heavy clothing to the troops. The
weather has been good, for the most
part, but a sudden drop in tempera-
ture Monday sent the shivers thru the
camp. A strong wind from the south
on Sunday pushed the mercury UP
around sc while a change to wind
from the north Monday plunged il
down to 27 and coated the camp with
ice.
The spirits of the men are excel
lent, DR.. Howell declares, and all are
anxious for the word that will start
them on their voyage across the "big
pond. "-BelOit Daily News.

SECURITY LEAGUE
WAGING GREAT
WAR CAMP ICN
Movement to Awaken Patriot
ism Through Education
Spreading to All States.

The greatest patriotic educational
campaign this country has ever seen
is being conducted by the National
Security League, which has a member
ship Of 100000 loyal Americans divid-
ed in 280 branches in all parts OF the
Union. The object of the campaign
is to arouse the people of the nation
to realization of what the war means
to them and what their patriotic
duty is.
The movement has already been
extended by the League into "a states
and will, within short time be ac-
lively under way in all of the As
states. The principal part of the
Leagues plan is the organization Of
a system Of addresses On patriotic
and war topics by means of which
trained speakers will carry into every
city, town, and hamlet in the country
the following message: The causes
Of the war, the reason for the entrance
OF this country into the conflict, what
the United States must do to carry
out its part, and the knowledge that
not only the existence of democracy
in the abstract, but also the very life
Of this nation ITSELF depends upon vic
tory over Germany.
The campaign is being conducted
under the direction of DIR. Robert M.
McElroy, who succeeded President
Wilson as head of the Department of
History and Politics in Princeton
University, and who recently was
granted a years leave of absence so
that he could devote his entire time
to this work. He is being assisted by
a committee consisting of,-Prof AL
bert Bushnell Hart of Harvard; Ar
thur e. BestOr, President of ChaUtau-
qua Institution; Thomas.F Moran, Pro
fessor of History and Economics in

dent of the National Security League; ;

Loyalty Weeks"
"A favorite method Of launching the
campaign in the several states is
through what the Security League
calls Loyalty Weeks" In New York
State, nine teams Of four speakers
each, all men and women of national
reputation, toured all the principal
cities and towns Of the State, speak.
ing in q different place every after
noon and evening for an entire week.
This plan is also being followed in
New Jersey, Vermont, and Kentucky
Other states where the movement is
being pushed by the League, through
cooperation with the State Councils
Of Defense and State Departments OF
Education, are: Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Washington,
Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois,
Delaware, Tennessee, Michigan, West
