CLUB HOLDS MEET.
ING.

The Manchester Commercial club
held its regular meeting in the Bow
en- restaurant Monday evening at $3.50.
The meeting was we'll attended. Fol-
lowing the dinner the first item Of
business was to determine whether
to hold the regular meetings at the
noon hour or at the evening hour
The majority of the members favor-
ed the evening hour at least during
the winter months.
The club decided that daring the
winter months short programs of
talks by club members on subjects
of general interest would be given at
each regular meeting, and the enter
tainment committee and the secretary
of the club were authorized to ar
range for such programs.
The question of purchasing a
stereopticon and motion picture
machine was also discussed. a ma
chine of this sort would prove OF
great value in. many ways. 1t could
be used to stimulate interest in pa
triotic gatherings. and in campaigns
for raising funds for various purpos-
es during the war, and to interest
the public in various phases Of war
activities. E. W. Williams, Rev. w.
J. Suckow and Homer Phenicie were
appointed as committee to look in
to the proposition more thoroughly
and procure prices on machines
which would be suitable for such
work as the club contemplates.

termine whether any mistake has been
made in the first physical examination.
Protect Married Men.
Men of draft age with dependent
relatives are placed in more secure
position. There is no way under the
new plan in which men with depend
ents can be called up for service out
of their turn. Added protection for
dependents is secured by the require
ment in cases where the registrant
seeks to waive his deferred classifi-
cation status that waivers also must
be obtained from those dependent up
on him before he can be- taken into
the military service
The effect of the regulations is to
close the ranks of the army, navy or
marine corps absolutely to men be-
tween the ages of 21 and 81 where
they have dependents upon them WHO
would suffer if they went to the front.
Local boards are constituted jud yes
of all such cases.
Plan to Double Army.
Enlargement of the national army
to twice or even three times the size
authorized by the selective draft act
continuance of the draft, and univer-
sal military training will be among
the most important legislative matters
before the next session of congress.
Members of the military affairs ccm-
mittees returning to Washington have
been informed that authority wiz be
requested to draw upon the nu".ber
who registered June S, for additional
forces.
The selective draft act provided for
1000, 100000 men in two increments
of 100000 each, and such additional
men as required to fill up reserve or
ganizations. War department officials
estimate that another 100000 men or
100000 if necessary can be drawn
from the 100000 registered.
1t is declared that authority must be
given to do this unless the war ends
by next summer.

RED CROSS NOTES.

There are still many people in Del
aware County who honestly believe it
is necessary to have an invitation be-
fore joining the Red Cross. 1t is the
duty of every one to help keep the
Red Cross before the people in its
true light Everyone is welcome to
the ranks of this great humanitarian
organization. There is no more r"a
son for the Red Cross organization
to invite people to join than there is
for a person whose house is on fire to
20 forth and invite his neighbors to
help him save it.

Some person who is either ignorant
or proIGerman has started the report
in one of the Chapters branches,
that the Christmas packets only cost
$1.55, and that the people in charge
at Manchester took the rest Of the So
per packet for the trouble of inspect
ing, packing, and handling. 1t is a
shame to have to call attention to this
matter, but as long as there seem to
be people who are willing to believe
such an impossible thing, it is ne
cessary to expose it. There is not
a single person in Delaware county
who is getting anything out of the Red
Cross, in money or in any other way.
Every article turned in, every cent of
money given, every bit OF work done,
goes to the great cause. An investiga-
ton has just been made concerning
a report which had worked into. the
southern part of this county to the ef-
feet that a woman was seen on the
streets of Cedar Rapids wearing a
sweater that had been turned into the
Red Cross Of that city. It was found
to be a contemplate lie, but harm
was caused by people who should
have known it to be lie, and passing
it on to friends as if they knew it to
be true. The governments agents are
running this sort of thing down and
are furnishing people who are party
to the business. 1t is up to every AM
erican citizen who claims to be loyal
to report such things to the Chapter
officers who will take care of it.
The need for old linen is very great.
It will be greatly appreciated if all
persons who have some would turn it
in to the Red Cross. Do not cut it up
but just send it in freshly washed and
ironed. -~ l-..
The success of the Christmas pack
ct subscription in the city Of Manches-
ter deserves special mention. Man
chester's allotment was seventy pack
cts or $40. The response throughout
the city was so liberal that the amount
subscribed totalled $3.50 or one hun
dred and sixty1five packets. This
was specially gratifying because word
was received from Division Head
quarters that they would need consid
erably more than the minimum allot-
ment in order to furnish every soldier
with a packet. All of this money rails
ed was sent direct to Division Head
quarters. Xxx .
