Red Gross Notes.

Yarn for sweaters has been received,
and the committee will be glad to have it
taken as soon as possible by all who de-
sire to knit There are 200 convalescent

there is more than enough work for all.
Please come and help.
Since the end of active hostilities the
German campaign of propaganda has re-
doubled its efforts to create social DIS
turbances by stirring up distrust IN
government, labor troubles, class hatred,
and various other evils by system OF
rumors, lies and misleading half-truths
which are very difficult to combat. The
intelligence office of the War Department
has issued warnings against such opera
tions, and an appeal to every loyal Amer
ican to help in this time of peril by dis
couraping indiscriminate criticisms or
complaints, by refraining from circulating
unfounded stories of inefficiency, graft, or
failure, in short, by discountenanclng
ANYTHING that might promote the German
effort to cause distrust and dissenslon
Everv individual should realize the obli-
cation to create and upbuild the proper
public sentiment of loyalty to our govern
ment, and trust in the wisdom and lnteg-
rity of our public officials. The failure
to do this might cause untold harm.

an interesting letter from Miss Lena May

enza was at it's height in Massachusetts,,
was summoned to Boston for work in that

for such rejoicing as revives and strength
ems in us all the best traditions of nation
