"PRUSSIAN MILITARISM UNVElL-
ED.0

Rev. w. j. Suckow, pastor of the
Congregational church. will deliver a
sermon on the subject Of "Prussian
Militarism Unveiled" at the regular
hour of service next Sunday, and to
which the public is cordially invited.
The sermon is based on some facts
which Rev. Suckow learned while at
the National Council of Congregation
al churches at Columbus, Ohio, and
deals with the atrocities which have
been inflicted upon the Armenians by
the Turkish military officers. While
at the council Mr.. Suckow had the
privilege to interview returned mis-
sionaries who were witnesses to
many of the most cruel acts inflicted
upon the Armenian people, and learn
ed many facts which the public gener
ally does not know, and more than
that, would not have accepted as true
previous to the United States enter
ing the world war A good many peo-
pie may be surprised to learn tnat D|
far the greater part OF the crimes
committed against the Armenian peo-
pie were planned by the Prussian mill
tary heads,at Berlin, and were carried
out by the Turks.
Rev. Mr.. Suck0w will have some
thing to tell next Sunday that would
not be pleasing to the kaiser's ears.
If there is man or woman in Man
chester and vicinity who thinks that
the atrocities committed against the
people of Belgium and France, the wo-
men and children in particular, are
not true, come and learn what an i'm
portant part Germany has played in
an effort to exterminate race of peo-
pie who had a government as far
back as the days of King Solomon.
The morning service in the court
room will be in the nature of patri-
otic meeting. Mrs. NJ. J. Yoran will
sing solo number, and everyone is
cordially invited to the service, which
begins at II o'clock.

RED CROSS NOTES.
(By C. G. Yoran.)


F.P. Walker, chairman of the Della
ware County Chapter of Red Cross, has
appointed the Canteen committee, COM
posed of Mrs. Julia Fardy, Mrs. Chas.
Peterson, Mrs. Hubert Carr and Mrs.
George Keiser, as a special committee
to take charge of the work of securi ls
from the people of Manchester their
quota of Christmas packets for the
soldiers. Word has been received from
the branches throughout the county
that they are actively at work either
making up the packets or contributing
the $500 q piece for which they can
be purchased and unless the people Of
Manchester respond quickly and gener-
ously they will be surpassed by the
smaller towns of the county. A can
vass of the town will be made this
week, as orders for the packets already
made up must be received at DivisioA
headquarters before November 18th.
New patterns for Red Cross articles
have been received, which are much
simpler than those formerly used, and
it is believed that the work Of making
the supplies will be easier in conse-
quence Under new rules, each chair
man of committee is expected to her
self make one of each of the articles
to be made under her direction before
others begin the work. This rule ap-
plies to chairmen of the Manchester
committees and each branch.
Because it has been found that work
ers do not come to the Red Cross
rooms in the morning in the fu-
ture the rooms will be open only in
the afternoon, which will save the
time of the person who would have to
be in charge in the morning and as the
rooms are open every afternoon except
Sunday, it will afford plenty Of oppor-
tunity for work without breaking into
the morning hours.
The county chairman has appointed
committees for the ensuing year, in
most cases re-appointing former men,
bers, but adding to the membership
of some committees. The list as now
made up is as follows: ..
Executive committee: Chairman, F.
P. Walker; Secretary, Miss Dora M.
Leroy; Mrs. E. M. Carr, C. G. Yor-
an, Mrs. F. E. Richardson, H. G.
