Waterloo, Feb. 10.-The high cost of

| Waterloo and officials are face to face
with a serious problem. During the
| past few months many boys and girls
have been taken from school. Their
parents explained that it was neces-
sary because of high prices which
made them unable to supply books and
clothing In many cases the students
have gone 10 work in order to assist
in fighting off the grim specter Of
poverty.
The situation is indeed serious
said A. r. Hukfll principal of west

necessary that the children leave
school it would be different, but in
many instances able bodied men draw
ing good salaries have made applica-
ton for permits for their boys to work,
giving as a reason that they We're UNI
able to make enough to support their
families. In some of these cases, how
ever, where the burden of providing

eXtenuating circumstances. 1t seems a
great pity that parents would rob their
children Of the opportunities to pre-
pare for life unless there was no other

WAS KILLED BY GUN FIRE
MIR. Davis Was Among First Of Expe-
ditionary Force.

The first real sorrow that mas
touched the Talbot people and made
them realize that we are engaged in a
terrible war was manifest when the
news reached Easton Monday of the
tragic death, as stated in yesterdays
Capital, OF Sergeant George H. Davis,
son of Carlton C. Davis. whom the
Gazette tEaston, Md mentioned last
week as the first subscriber of the new
Liberty Bond issue.
The news was received in tele-
gram from the War Department TO
Mr.. Davis. 1t was brief 1t merely
said that young Sergeant Davis had
died in France of a gun shot wound
and that a letter giving details would
| follow. Until the letter arrives the
manner in which the Talbot boy went
to his death is mere conjecture.
Whether he was killed in battle. by
air raiders or in an accident, is I'M
known here for the present. II he
| fell in battle that would imply that
the American Expeditionary Force had
started to take an active part in driy-
| ing the Hun from France.
Sergeant Davis was in the artii-
| lery of the regular army and was in
the first contingent TO go TO France
with the Expeditionary Force. He
was among those who were welcomed
by the cheering multitudes in Eng
| land and France.
AS son as war was declared Ser
geant Davis made every effort to get
into the service He first applied for
a place in the aviation corps. He was
/ especially fitted for this branch of the
i service, having been connected with
| a large electrical concern in Pitts
burg. Through some technicality
however, his application was rejected.
But he was determined to serve his
country and he enlisted in the regu-
lar army He was assigned to the
artillery branch and promoted to a
sergeant Silently and secretly the
| division he was in steamed out to sea
on one of Uncle Sans transports and
nothing was made known of their de-
parture until their safe arrival in Eu-
rope. Then the newspapers were per-
mltted TO puDllSn the STORY OI the at
tack by German submarines and of the
rout of the under-sea boats.
Sergeant Davis was 81 years old.
While he was not born in Talbot he
had lived here from his youth. His
father purchased the property now
owned by William ID. Brinckloe on the
Peach Blossom when the sergeant was
a small boy Sergeant Davis was
! athletic, fond of our-door sports and
was popular with everybody that knew
him.
His tragic death has caused genuine
sorrow in the county. Great sympa-
thy is expressed by everyone for his
honored father. who is a helpful and
respected citizen OF Talbot Easton

woMENS WORK HELPS RED CROSS
Garments And Knitted Articles In Yesr
Amounted To $50, 400, 600.

The plans of the Red Cross TO mobll-
ize the generosity, enthusiasm and
patriotism of the American people
during the war were recently describ-
ed by Henry p. Dawson, Chairman OF
the War Council of the American Ma
tional Red Cross, and George Creel,
Chairman of the United States Bureau
of Information, at a meeting held in
Chicago.
The Red Cross is hurrying, Mr.
Dawson said, with food. clothes, doc
tors. anu medicines to the stricken
nations Of Europe to help keep them
alive until the military forces Of the
United States get into the firing line
The actual work contributed by
American women TO the Red Cross in
twelve months in making surgical
dressings. hospital garments, and
knitted articles, such as comfort kits
and the like, has been of CONNER
cial value Of $50. 100000. Mr. DAWSON
said. The figures were determined, he
continued, by scientific analysis.
This did not include the clerical work
in Europe or this country, nor the
value of the time spent in other ways,
Mr. Dawson explained
The effectiveness already develop
ed by the Red Cross in the greatest
work of mercy ever undertaken by q
single organization, said Mr. Davi-
son, lis one of the finest expressions
know of the greatness and big
heartedness Of the American people.
