 Why, maybe you!
 Yes you! if you have not yet joined your Bridgeport chapter as a Christmas member.
 Your little membership may be the one that sends Bridgeport chapter over the top for the prize of S5OO.O0 month for the duration of the war.
 Lack of your membership may rob Bridge port chapter-and Bridgeport soldiers-of that prize.

 The memberships must be in hand before Christmas to count for the prize. The Red Cross service flag in your window and the Red Cross pin in your lapel, on or before Christmas Eve, mean that you are with your Red Cross and with your soldiers.

 The fact that your wife's-uncle's-cousin is a member does not excuse YOU.
 Join today! Join for yourself, for your family, and send Red Cross memberships as Christmas cards to your friends. l. Remember this. That your Bridgeport chap ter, Red Cross, is spending upward of Sl7,OOO a month for materials for your soldiers.
 Noble women giving all their spare time night and day, are multiplying these raw mater ials by ten, through the work which they do.
 The finished products are going to your sol- diers.
 The stream of supplies cannot stop.
 As more soldiers go, it must become greater, not less. The person who will not help in this noble, necessary and patriotic work is stacker. He is not serving in the trenches and he will not serve at home. He is no true American.

IeNeLANo NOT NEAR STARVATION

That the submarine situation is se-
nous enough is not to be questioned
but that It is far from hopeless is in.
dicated by the following comment of
the Dallas News;
The British minister OF blockade
says that British tonnage afloat now
is about 15,OOO,O0O and that this is
only about 100000 less than 1t was
at the beginning of the war Evident
ly this statement is made in the hope
of cheering up those who have taken
too seriously the alarmist statements
with which the columns of the news.
papers have lately been burdened. 1t
ought to prove to be pretty good an
tidote. It may suggest to some that
the task put upon the submarine is
comparable to what would be the tasS
OF an ant if put to the work of eating
away the Himalayas But that com
parison would give an exaggerative
sense of the job that has been assign.
ed to the submarine, since it can ac.
complish its purpose without destroy
ing the last ton. or even the last ten
million tons OF British shipping New
ertheless. the figures given by the
minister of blockade show that it is a
herculean. not to say futile work that
the submarine is engaged in. If during
two and half years of warfare
against British shipping, the subma.
rine has been able to reduce the total
Of British shipping by only 100000
tons, one can not see any chance Of its
being able to consummate its purpose
under ten years at the present rate Of
achievement.

How It Is Commanded.
An army is a huge body Of men gath.

usually is commanded by general
Today there is no general IN the Unit

within few months congress will re-

who, taking the title Of general, shall
have supreme command OF all the fight
ing forces IN the field.
An army is composed Of army corps.
There may be two or three or more
corps IN an army. Sometimes when
there is a huge number Of troops In
the field one general ls put In supreme
command while his forces are divided
into several armies, each one In COM

Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing a lieuten-

of the First corps, consisting Of several
| divisions OF troops, to see service in
France.
A division Of troops Is commanded
by major general 1t Is composed
of several brigades, each one Of which
Is commanded by a brigadier general.
1t Is possible for a brigade to consist
of combination Of cavalry, infantry
and artillery, but frequently each bril-
gade is composed Of regiments all Of
the same branch Of the service. The
typical infantry brigade, for instance
consists Of q headquarters and three
regiments Of infantry, while typical
cavalry brigade consists Of head
quarters and three regiments Of cav
airy.
Composition Of the Regiment.
Each regiment Is commanded by a
colonel, who has under him a lieuten-l
ant colonel, whose duties are rather
nondescript, although his chief duty is
to take the place Of the colonel In his
absence or IN case he Is wounded or
killed in battle.
Each regiment Is divided into bat-
talions. and eacn battalion Is CONS
manded by a major. A battalion eon-

LIBERTY LOAN AND PATRIOTISM

Scott Ferris, congressman from Ok
lahoma, writes as follows:
"The generous response from all
classes of the American people to the
tall Of their government for the Lib.
erty Loan has cemented first and for
all time the determination Of all classes
to effect an early and successful termi-
nation to the terrible war that has
been inflicted upon u.s. This can but
mean that six and half million far
mers who produce more every year
than they consume will not submit to
paralysis and disaster caused by the
closing OF the seas by the German sub
marines It means that twenty mil.
lion toilers of the republic who toll
for daily wages will not submit TO des-
titution, hunger and want, as result
OF Germany's sinking our ships, muir
dering our men. women and children,
without hope and without warning.
II means that the American business
men will not have their doors closed
in bankruptcy failure, panic and dis
aster bya trampling under foot OF our
rights. a disrupting of our commerce
and the destruction of our republic.
1t means that the proud young repub-
lie will not sit in ease and plenty and
allow innocent American born men,
women and children to be slaughtered,
murdered and drowned when they were
going where they had the right to go,
saying what they had the right to say,
doing what they had the right to do
only asking to be let alone. II means
that the blood of our fathers who
fought at Bunker Hill still courses
through our veins and that patriotism
is not withered, disintegreated aud
goneA II means that We will not fol
low in the wake of the pacifist. whose
whisperings of timidity, cowardicc
and craven furnish but dim light to
lead the republic during this trying
hour. 1t means that lasting peace
shall not be imperiled by the comforts
of the day. 1t means that liberty, am
bition, hope, freedom, Justice shall not
crngingly give way to Prussisnism
militarism and kaiserism. 1t means
that we will not stand under the
charge of degeneraey, inferiorlty, dis
integration, and dishonor
1T means that men Of every race
who have taken up citizenship in Che
republic are standing faithfully and
squarely behind President Wilson in
their determined effort to bring about
an early conclusion Of the war II
means we shall succeed but it must be
no timid, hesitating warfare. It means
every man is willing to do his full du
ty and that there are no places in the
land for shirkers, slackers, and those
unwilling to stand erect to duty the
day that duty calls.
ut means that the next issue Of Lib
erty Loan bonds which will be an
nounced by Secretary McAdoo within
the near future must prove still more
popular, still more successful thar
the first because every true American
man or woman participated in the
first issue or by surely buying Of thu
following issue il they neglected t

WHY IT TAKES WHEAT TO WIN
THE WAR

Many people wonder why the gov

wheat in preference to corn and other
foodstuffs. Wheat is the food staple OF
Europe Europeans know nothing OF
corn. They have not mills in which
to grind it. Cornmeal will not keep
for long periods, and even il it would
European soldiers would have to learn
to use corn products.
