THRILLING STORY
TOLD IN MOVIES
A Message From Overseas To
American People At Republic
Theatre Next Monday
A STORY THAT THRILLS

Annapolis and Anne Arundel county
will have an opportunity on next Mon
day evening, November Is, at the Re-
public Theatre to hear the thrilling
story of the American Red Cross and
to see official moving pictures of it in
action. The Red Cross War Council
is sending a message to the people of
America about the work at home and
overseas, and to date allotted this
Chapter is next Monday night 1t is
the only possible date that could be
given us, as the demand for the other
cities as well.
Dr. Frederick A. Perry, of interna-
tional reputation, is coming here to
tell the people about the army of
service" and the great opportunities it
has met the world over. The speaking
tour is expected to stimulate interest
in all war movements. No appeals
will be made for funds or subscrip-
tions. The meeting and entertain
ment will be absolutely free and the
picture and the speaker will be of
ficial." That is to say, the message
they bear will come through official
channels from Washington.
Would you like to see the Red
Cross at work-see its workers cross
the Atlantic to the front line trench
and care for your husband, brother or
son?
This remarkable story will be dra-
matized by an eminent speaker lately
arrived from the front line to tell you
how, perhaps, the dollar you paid for
Red Cross membership saved your
boy-how the Red Cross workers car
ried hope and cheer to him when he
was stricken. You will see in moving
pictures the hospital where he was
taken, the doctor and nurse who cared
for him.
The story of the Red Cross is filled
with romances and thrills-it teens
with human interest. 1t will carry
you to the ends of the earth 1t will
tell how thousands of refugees have
been saved, how it has fed starving
4 hordes, how it has taken two hundred
thousand homeless children from the
battle zone. 1t will tell you how it
reconstructs men shattered in battle,
how it's mission of mercy links strick-
en- soldiers with his dear ones and
home.
4 One of the special purposes of the
present day is to lay foundation of
Red Cross knowledge from which can
be built an interest in the coming
Christmas drive for members. There
are twenty-five million Red Cross
Cross members now
Moving pictures will help the speak
er to drive his story home. The pic
ture has been specially prepared to
visualize the Red Cross story This
! film has never been shown before.
Many of its scenes were taken in the
midst of shot and shell, and show how
the Red Cross carries first aid to the
wounded. Moving picture stars of the
first magnitude volunteered for serv-
ice in the taking of scenes at home.
Don't miss this wonderful oppor-
tunity for seeing the Red Cross in ac-
ton. 1t is thrilling. interesting and
all true. Moreover, it is free and. it is
official

Mrs. Maude +. Brown. wife OF
George w. Brown, died at $40 yester-
day morning at her home. ISL Sixth

ill only about n week, pneumonia de-
Neloping from a chill experienced last

the week and her sister. Mrs. Mabel
Russell Of Augusta was with her a
part Of the time.
Mrs. Brown seemed much improved
Saturday night and Mrs. Russell left
for home early yesterday morning.
Her sister was suddenly taken worse
and died in a short time. The news
Of her death came as Il great shock to
her friends. many Of whom had not
even learned Of her brief illness.
Mrs. Brown was the daughter Of
Mrs. Francis Lane Of Augusta, who is
now making her. home with her
daughter. Mrs. Russell. Mr.. Brown
has been a resident Of Auburn for
several years, where he has been en-
ployed in the local mills and as con-
ductor on the L., A. 4; w. Street Rail-

Speaking Of suckers" "mullet" and
mountain trout" which names these
ash are known in different localities
in which they are found, either in
their native element or in the markets
of the big cities in which they are
sold. it is said that there has been a
considerable advance in their price
this winter. The proper name of the
fish is mullet, but in the lakes, ponds
and particularly in the Kennebec
river, where until within year or
two past the fishermen have caught
them by the ton and shipped them to
New York, the common name ap-
piled to the fish is that Of sucker.
in the New York market. where he is
evidently much sought as an article
Of food. but when he leaves the Ken
nebec he leaves also the somewhat
plebeian name of sucker behind him.
and should one run across the fish on
. bill Of fare in q New York restaur-
ant or cafe they would be very likely
to find him billed as mountain trout
and charged for accordingly. It is
said that the New York price of the
fish at present is is cents per pound,
and if the fish is as scarce in other
sections as he is along the Kennebec
It is probable that there will be
another boost in price before the
winter is over.

For the Boys al Home
As for Those Abroad

The soldiers from Augusta and vi
entity will be returning home in the
near future. ! am very sure it is a
matter of congratulation that up to
this time the people Of our city have
responded to every call of the Gov
G nment to assist in any way shat
would add to the efficiency and well
fare of our soldiers.
ut this time, we are thinking how
We can make the soldiers home-c com
ing not only a pleasure. but how we
can serve him and help during the
period OF readjustment.
desire to call your attention to a
second problem that is occupying our
thought at the present time. There
are J. large number Of boys in our
G. immunity between the ages OF
Il and 20 who ought to have a. bright,
coy and worthwhile place in which
to spend their leisure hours. A healthy
10y cannot be expected to simply
work and sleep, or study and sleep
he must have some time for recrea-
ton. Where will this boy 500 Where
will he spend his time Who will be
his companions
These two problems-the returning
soldiers and the boys at home-create
at the present time a situation that
demands immediate and effective ac-
ton.
After careful consideration. it has
been decided to place the Y. NJ. C. 4.
in a position to serve these two class
es of young men. During the war pc
Rod this institution has won the con-
fidence OF all classes of society
through it's efficient service, not only
at home, but on the battle fields Of
Europe. Therefore, am sure you will
be very glad to join in q great mem
bership campaign for our local "Y'',
so that it may satisfactorily do the
work to which have called your at
tention.
It is proposed to make a thorough
canvass Of the city on Dec. II, IL and
10. closing with a large rally at the
"Y" on Friday evening. Dec. Is.
Ono hundred and fifty persons have
consented to make this canvas I:
every citizen who believes in this
work will be ready to give their
names to the person who calls at their
Office or home. the work will be quick
~ and successfully done. Let every
one support the home institution.

tional Red Cross War Council:

Frank $. Eawson. Director Of Christ
mas Roll Call, Sc Exchange Street.
Portland, Nc.
am issuing today q statement to
the chapters and Fed Cross members
to which J earnestly call your atten-
ton in hope you will see to it that the
statement. is brought to the attention
of every man and woman in your ter
Iitory. as that statement will indi-
cate that l cannot too strongly urge
upon you the importance of the forth
coming Christmas Roll Call confer
ence with our commissioners in Eu-
rope, together with conferences
have held here the last two days with
the President. with our division man
ayers. and our heads of departments.
They have shown clearly that the
field for Red Cross effort is going to
be upon a tremendous scale and Of a
beautiful and inspiring character; as
we shall conduct no further campaign
for war funds the Roll Call will con-
stitute the very foundation Of Red
Cross effort in the future, and firm
ly believe that the future Of the Red
Cross will be devoted to a service
which cannot receive less than the
whole hearted and active support OF
the whole American people, and its
ability to realize that the future will
be dependent upon that support alone.
l urge you and your assistants to
exert redoublcd efforts to make this
Roll Call in the period of transition
from war to peace such a tremendous
success that our Red Cross organi-
zation. which has been built to such
huge proportions out of love and SYM
pathy and effort during the war may
continue to be an agency Of human
service worthy Of the whole Ameri-
can nation"
