The boys noticed a strand of
wire protruding from the water
near the nol thern pier OF the
Railroad bridge and began pull
ing it oIt. When they drew it
all out of the water a dynamite
cap was found attached to the
end OF the wire. Proceeding
with ,feir investigation the boys
discovered more wires and pull.

Mantle caps attached to the end.
They reported the matter to
the people in the town and soon

obviously. the task OF providing

families OF our soldiers and sailors ID
80 large that the government alone
can assume 1t. In no other way can
the burden be discharged fairly and
as a matter Of right and charity. No
volunteer organization. or organiza-
lions. could adequately cope with a
duty OF such magnitude.
Cases will undoubtedly arise
wherein the Allowance OF the govern
ment will not be adequate to protect
family from financial distress. Such
instances the Red Cross will hope to
provide for through Its chapters The
Red Cross chapters can and will pro-
vide also the friendly services which
