THE RED CROSS
ASKS DRESSINGS
Millions of Them Will be Needed
in France According to an APP
peal From Headquarters.
BIC LOT ON TORPEDOED SHIP

The following request has been
sent out from Red Cross Headquar-
tiers in Philadelphia:
Major Grayson-Murphy, Ameri-
can Red Cross, Chief of Commits
sion in France, cables the following:
Red Cross standard dressings in
millions must be sent over with all
possible speed. If this is not done
Immediately a serious calamity and
national disgrace is inevitable.
The American women who COM
pose the Red Cross should prepare
with all the enthusiasm and speed
possible the dressings which are 60
ing to mean life or death to our
own men,"
To visualize the great need of
surgical dressings one has to reflect
that only few weeks ago two and
one half millions of surgical dress
ings went down in one ship; and
that the cases are numerous where
an entire box of dressings is used
on one patient.
1t is imperative that women of
HE Red Cross in Southeastern Penn
sylvania Chapter increase immedl-
ately this needed supply of surgical
dressings that the front is calling for.
S. E. Penna. Chapter, A. K. e.
John B. Townsend
Executive Director.
In view of the urgent need for
the soldiers who are really fighting
{ our battles will not the members of
}. the New Hope Branch give at least
one day week to the work goini
on at the New Hope Engine
House? There are 140 members
and not over dozen-workers are
there at time.
Any one willing to sew or to
learn to make surgical dressings
will be gladly accepted as helpers
even if they have not enrolled as Red
Cross members. This is done in
New York and Philadelphia.
Please come one and all, the need
is urgent and pressing.

We haven't mentioned the condition of the Durham

Mr.. Richs territory because trying to off

Buckingham voters haven't often had chance to
swat crossways effectively they will have next
Tuesday, by voting for Mr. Ellis who will not only swat
the crossways but make of the roads in the upper

Hunters ara making ready for the
opening of the annual deer shooting
season in northern Michigan. Coun-
" Clerk Madden is also making rea-

PARTY REGULARITY"

Washington Star.
In New York the msyeralty plot
thickens. Such q mix-up has not
been known before in years.
Mr., Bennett is unquestionably ths
Republican nominee, and he and hia
friends claim that as such hs u en-
titled to every Republican vote in
the big town. The appeal at the
primary was to the party. and the
majority of those who recorded them
selves declared for him as against
Mr.. Mitchell. The light vote polled
does not, the Bennett men assert,
lessen the obligation of all republic
ans to abide by the decision rend-
cred.
Nevertheless, the most prcn irsnL
of the Republican leaders, who pro
nouneed for him before the primary.
still pronounce for Mr.. Mitchell. They
refuse to be bound by the primary
result. AS they see their duty, It Is
TO help keep the town from falling
back into tho clutches Of Tammany.
They consider that duty higher than
party duty. Politics should not gov
ern in such case.
Tammany, for Judge Hylan, II

to Democratic support for himsslf

the other hand, Mr.. Mitchell with full
fusion support can secure . second
term, and shou uld have It. His record
entities him to 1t, and conditions In

the fields graves of the men who
fell in battle can be seen and often
we passed the grave of an aviator.
The towns show evidence of the in
yader. The walls of some Of the

streets are clear and the fallen stones
piled on the sidewalks. AL the
houses are built Of stone or brick.
New red brick homes have sprung up
amongst some Of the ruins. The
people are stil! subject 10 air raids.
The first day was out the Germans
came and killed several with bombs
and then flew so close To the ground
that they could use their machine
guns. The bombs are very power
full. The Germans come on moon
light nights and in broad daylight.
One can very seldom see the planes
of the great height but smoke from
the exploding shells bursting around
the enemy can be plainly sesn. You
can trace their flight across the sky
by the smoke from the exploding
shells. We have at our camp here
