"My permission madam exclaimed the
young man, you most certainly have and
my deepest gratitude besides. The boys will
appreciate this can tell you, fer we do not
reach our destination until late in the after
noon" Then, as he caught sight of the truck
loaded with food and surrounded by the blue
uniforms, he turned to the men behind him
and said:
'Look who's here, boys! The Red Cross
hasn't forgotten u.s."
The answer to this was volley after volley
of cheers for the Red Cross. Then they quietly
took their places in the empty train and the
order went from car to car
"Out with your cups and get near win
down
Meanwhile some of the canteen women
were filling big pitchers with the hot coffee
which they carried from window to window
along the platform, filling the aluminium cups
which were passed out to them, while others
carried the baskets of sandwiches down the
aises of the cars, giving two to each man.
The next course was cake Of sweet choco-
late; then the cigarettes distributed and
the lunch was over. AS there were still
a few minutes left before train time, the men
came out on the platform to enjoy their
smokes and to indulge, if possible, in that
rare treat to the fighting man, "a chat with
skirt"
In the midst of a conversation with a
young officer, who held forth at great length
on my remarkable resemblance to his favor
ite sister, l noticed that Nine. Red Cross
was standing beside me and holding in her
two hands that mysterious mailbag, wide
open. My attention wandered from the con-
fdences of the young officer to the windows
of the car before US, at every one of which
a head in wide brimmed hat was bent over
a bit of paper and pencil. Then a man
came up and dropped postcard into the
open bag, then came another and another
in long, unbroken procession. Nine Red
Cross turned to me.
Its a splendid idea, don't you thnk?' she
said. "We distribute the postcards so that they
can let their families know that they have ar
rived safely at this stage OF their journey. We
take the cards to the Red Cross headquarters
and have them officially censored, and then we
mail them. The boys love it,''

yon have probably seen the uniform, a top
.oat Of cadet blue, with huge pockets and
deem collar with red cross on either end and
an aviator's cap adorned with the same in
sigma. A very pretty costume it is, by the
hive and exceedingly becoming. But further
than this III wager that you know nothing of
this branch of woman's war relief work, and
# Won should question one Of these blue uni
formed women about her duties or her expe-
rjences in the canteen you would still be
none the wiser, for these women keep their
own counsel; they belle all tradition-they can
keep a secret!
Indeed the ability to keep a secret is one
of the very first requisites for membership in
the canteen service. Three thousand women
in New York City alone have learned this
lesson Who says that war hath not its COM
pensacions2
These three thousand women were enrolled
by the National League for Womens Service
for canteen duty, and when short time ago
the Red Cross Society conceived the idea Of
organizing the Emergency Canteen Service,
they called on the national league for trained
workers and seventy women were selected
from the ranks. The idea as conceived by the
Red Cross was not only to feed the incoming
troops when necessary, but to meet all troop
trains passing through the city and distribute
cigarettes and postcards to the men so that
although they may be strangers in strange
land" they find we'll planned welcome wait
ING for them.
TIE necessity for secrecy, particularly in
the branch Of the service which carries on the
emergency work, will be readily seen when l
tell you that these women know the number
of men in the troop which they meet, where
they come from, and usually whittier they
going 1t would be extremely unwise to pass
the information along, and their discipline
goes even further than this, for they have
schooled themselves to ask no questions of the
men whom they meet and betray no curiosity
concerning them beyond the number of sand
wiches and cups of coffee which they consume.
Three thousand women who ask no questions
and who can keep a secret, Almost Incredible
isn't it?
Because of the necessity for secrecy the
Red Cross Society has not deemed it wise to
allow representatives of the press to watch
the Emergency Canteen at work but by spe-
cial dispensation and under oath of discretion

TWENTY-FIVE GRADUATES
bridge High School Held at The
Grand Opera House.

| twenty-five graduates of Cam
bridge High School received diplo-
mas from County Superintendent
James B. Noble at the Grand Opera
House Thursday evening. The class
was by no means the largest in the
in that for the first time, so far as
anyone can remember, the boys in
the graduating class outnumbered
the girls, despite the fact that two
of the former sex had heard the call
OF the country or of business during
or at the close of the Junior year.
AS soon as the curtain rose, the
class sang the first verse of the
'StarSpangled Banner" after which
Rev. B. F. Skinner pronounced the
invocation Miss Eliza L. Dawson,
of the Commercial Department, who
stood second for the year, read
selection, old Flag" The class
sang Somewhere" and H. Martin
Davidson, who took first hunors, de-
World" Charles w. Mowbray, Jr.,
sang a solo, and responded TO a hear
| ty encore.
Prof. j. Walter Huntington, of
Baltimore. addressed the graduates.
| His speech was a masterpiece, both
from the standpoint of the thoughts
expressed and their forcible and elo-
quent expression. He complimented
| the members CT the class for con-
tinuing their school work until they
were graduated, and also praised the
parents who had given them the OPP
portunity of so doing. The High
| School graduate, he said, represents
the highest type of American citi-
/ zen, and the school is the greatest
single force in maintaining in this
country a pure democracy.
After Prof Noble presented the
diplomas, Prof E. c. Seitz, principal
of the school, read the following
list of those in the High School who
had attained a general average of 80
or more during the year:
