HTE RED CROSS CHRIST
MAS ROLL CALL

The Christmas Roll Call is to be
exactly what it's name imples-a sum
mons to membership in the greatest
relief organization in the world; and
no true American man or woman
can afford to answer NAY" when
his name is called. And because we
believe that no man or woman
wishes to answer May" we make
this first appeal to each Chapter and
Auxiliary in the Potomac Division to
use every effort to place the oppor-
tunity of becoming member of the
American Red Cross before every in
dividual in the Division.
1t is essentially not a campaign
for money but a campaign for men,
bers, and universal membership is
the goal FIR U,>ich we are to work;
aiming chiefly fer one-dollar annual
Each Division will be alot-
ted a limited number Of two
dollar magazine memberships; while
new magazine member ships will be
limited to II per cent, and should
not be less than one per cent of the
total population of the territory I'M
der the jurisdiction of the Chapter.
The chapters must not be content
with getting renewals Of member
ship-we want new members. This
year, most particularly, people will
not need persuasion to induce them
to become Red Cross members-they
are going 10 want to be members
and it is up to each Chapter to or
ganize and systematic it's forces to
such an extent that no person can
say that the opportunity was not Of
fered him. Everyone should consid-
er it a privilege this Christmas to
count his Red Cross membership one
of the good things that has come his
way.
This membership button is going
TO stand for a great deal. Ii repre-
sents a continuation of the inspiring
work done overseas and in our coun-
try. 1t means that whoever wears
it is back of feeding and clothing
thousands of foreign refugees; it
means that he is back of every SOL
der and sailor in the service; and
that he is back Of every emergency.
in this country-of which the infu-
enza epidemic is but one example
that may arise.
The possibilities of peace have in
noWise lessened the activities of the
Red Cross, il has made the necessity
for aeontinuapce of it's splendid eff
forts a vital issue. The work must
go on and it's scope must inevitably
broaden,
President Wilson has said, II sum-
mon you to the comradeship." This
means every individual, and to get
universal response each Chapter
must mobilize it's workers and instill
in them the desire and the determi-
nation to reach-everyone and give
them all chance to answer the call.

Dear friends and readers Of this
,apor-I will write few lines once
1ot you know I'm still in the ring,
md doing my bit. =.
AS I'm sitting here In my billet
This rainy Sabbath afternoon l
thought that perhaps some one
would like to hear a few words from
over here.
I visited an old castle which was
built in the year 1910. 1t gives
,ne great pleasure to visit this old
historic tower. 1t is said that Rich
ard the Lion Hearted was imprisoned
FOR many years in the dismal ana
md narrow dungeon still to be
found at the foot OF the tower.
Well, we. are having right pretty
weather so far. Some say they don't
have much winter here; the leaves
IRE falling but flowers are blooming
nicely yet, and they sure have some
ice ones here.
Well, I think we'll all be return
ing again one of these days for the
Yanks are sure doing good work now
?ut of course you folks back there
cannot hardly dream of being at war
% what it is to being where it is go
.ng on.
Well, there is no one with me that
came from Highland, two of my COM
rades, Frank Lamb and Burlin Arm
strog were separated in a few days
after landing.
I try to attend service every Sun
day although we have no Sabbath
school which was one Of my greatest
desires to attend.
If you will remember there nave
been some foolish folks trying TO get
a big bite out of the world ever since
the days of Sennacherib to Hohenzol-
lern, Caesar, Attilla, Napoleon, all
tried it and it did not agree with
any of them. But the worst of all
will soon be enjoyed by the Prussian
Kaiser.
Wishing the RECORDER and all
it's readers great success and happi-
ness, I remain,

WAR CLOUD PASSING BY.

Chile And Peru Approaching A Peace
full Settlement.
Buenos Aires.-The controversy be-
tween Chile and Peru is approaching
q peaceful solution, La Nacion says
It is informed by confidential but
reliable source as a result of the eff.
forts Of the State Department and the
Uruguyan Foreign Office. The two
foreign offices are said to have been
in constant communication since Tues
day.
The newspapers informant says
that the two governments propose
partial plebiscite, and that the Chilean
and Peruvian foreign Offices are
friendly disposed toward the proposal
which contemplates restoration OF a
Pacific port to Bolivia.

On board, Nov. 8, 191

Dear Mother and all,
I am we'll at this time and hope
you all are the same. We have had
fine trip so far. I wish you all
could OF seen the storm we were in
yesterday. I wish you could of seen
the big waves. When I come back
| will have lots to tell you. We left
the good old U. S. A. on the 2Sth of
last month about noon. I got on
board the morning of the 9th about
four o'clock got to Norfolk. The
name of this vessel is Antigone. I
think we will land between this eve
and Sunday. Today is Friday. We
saw some pretty big fish at noon to-
day. They look like sword fish.
We haven't seen any submarines
yet. We are we'll guarded with sub
chasers. I guess we are in the bay
of Bisky. 1t is lots larger than the
gulf Of Mexico, I think.
Well I hope that the Huns will
make peace soon then we will get to
tcome home. Can't tell exactly when
that will be.
I got pretty sick the first three or
four days I was on board.
All of us Highland boys that was
transferred from the Depot Brigade
to the Replacement Camp are still
together yet. Bobbie Harris is on
one of the vessels that is with this
convoy. We are living good now;
plenty to eat and nothing to do. But
I guess we will find something to do
when we land, They had big tar
get practice with the big guns Tues
day, but I don't know what the score
was. They have guard duty on the
ship the same as in camp. I wish
you could see the potatoes that we
| have peeled since we hay been on
here, and the onions too. Tell Will
| lie to take care of my horses.
I will close with love to all.
Andrew Davis,
Nov. 10, 1918
Dear Mother,
I will write you a few lines this
Sunday evening.
l would like to hear from you this
present time especially. I have
dreamed Of you and the work at
home for the last three nights. We
got here safe and sound. I wrote
you from the ship. May be you get
this one first. I am we'll and have
plenty to eat and plenty to wear to
keep me warm, and sleep wamr at
nights, so don't worry about me. |
think l will get to come home before
long. The war news is good over
here now, France has lots of nice
country to look at.
I will close. Write to me every
time that you can.

Saloniki.--4M. Khanzaddan, an Ar
menian leader and former officer of
high rank in the Turkish Navy, on his
arrival here declared that German and
Turkish statistics which he saw In
Constantinople in 1915 showed that
1,S96,350 Armenians had been deport-
ed and that Of that numb r 1, 056,550 had
been massaored. Thanking the Greek

Amerfca's great task will not Dc
finished until the nations at the
peace conference have decided on
terms of peace that will insure JUS
tfce and establish a durable, lasting
peace. Until these terms have been
ratified and put into effect consid-
cradle portion Of our armed forces
must remain overseas to occupy
strategic points and to help police
Europe. Many OF our gallant troops
who have nobly borne their share,
will be returned home speedily, ou'
many months must elapse before all
can be returned. To maintain the
necessary armed force and TO con-
tinue the necessary war activities
will require large expenditures, the
funds for which the government eX-
pects to raise by taxation and by
loans; and a large portion of the
money to be loaned is expected
through the medium of WAR SAY
INGS STAMPS.
In the War Savings campaign dur
ing the year many of our citizens
pledged themselves to purchase WAR
SAVING STAMPS. Not all of these
subscribers have redeemed their
pledges to date, although these
pledges are regarded as moral and
patriotic obii&ations to the Treasury
Department which no loyal American
will purposely neglect. There are
also. in our State, many persons VINO
have not purchased any WAR saw
INCS STAMPS, and this fact, along
with the failure of many persons to
redeem their pledges, has caused Vir-
ginia to f4u short of its War Savings
quota. which does not reflect the
patriotism that animates our citizens
We hereby call on the patriotic
men, women and children of Virginia
to make good their War Savings
pledges; and upon all TO buy as many
WAR SAYINGS STAMPS as they
can, ard thus rally to the support OF
our notion, so that Americas great
task cen be finished.

My dear Mother,
We arenot doing much but eating
and sleeping. We also have a good
Y. NJ. C. A. here. Wecan buy choc-
olate,, cigarettes jam, and most any
kind of cakes, and then we buy
cheese and nuts and grapes from the
French people, so you see we are
getting along fine.
I got little gas while we were up
at the front but did not have to go
up to the hospital. I am feeling al
right now. All except my eyes and
they will be o. K in day or so.
just wish l could tell you all that
we went through with while we
we're on this drive. 1t is certainly
different from trench war. We were
in Verdun one day and I think that
is right much to be proud of to say
that 1 have marched through that
famous city.

We have been in very hard drive
and have seen some real war. I do
not see how we have gone through
with what we did. We captured
thousands of prisoners and a lot of
war material; most all the boys
have some kind of a suovenir as
there are plenty of them.
l am sorry that could not write
you. think it has been over two

has just been impossible as we have
been on the advance most all the

Sun to Be Totally
Eclipsed on June 8

Portland will hold a unique place
in the world at noon June by hav-
ing the greatest totality of eclipse Of
the sun in any large city. It's per-
centage of total darkness produced
by the moon obscuring old Soils shiny
face will be so great that only one
hundredth of the suns light will pen
citrate to this part of the earth. Sc
attic will get 9S per cent of total
darkness for few minutes, while in
Portland the percentage will be SO.
Throughout the entire route of the
Union Pacific system from Omaha to
the North Pacific coast the path OF
the Oregon pioneers will be marked
by accentuated lines of semi-darkness
and near total eclipse of the sun more
than on any other part of the globe.
In anticipation of this event, which
transpires once in about each quarter
of a century, the railway which seems
to have been given an astronomical
monopoly will prepare for large
movement of students in astronomy
for points along the Columbia river
gorge and elsewhere within easy
reach of Portland.
The near total observation of the
sun will last two minutes, and for an
hour nearly, on each side of the
eclipse the sunlight will either dimin-
ish or increase.
For a considerable period on June
s all Union Pacific trains will be run
with burning headlights on locomo-
tives and Illuminated passenger, bag
gage, express and mail cars in mid
day, which will be as dark as a moon
less midnight.

Time to Pay Our
Debt to France

The Pittsburgh chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution, has
unanimously voted to present a new
flag to the Rochambeau French regi-
ment now on the front line in Eu-
rope, in the same position it occupied
on the front of the French contingent
IN 1881 at Yorktown where Corn
wallis surrendered his army to Wash
tngton.
The occasion of this action by the
D. A. r. arose as the result of let
ter from Major General w. l.. Sibert
10 a member of the chapter, in which
the general spoke of seeing the cele-
brated regiment. once commanded by
Rochambeau, pass in review headed
by its tattered flag
Rochambeau! Perhaps many OF
Ghe existing generation may not be
fully aware of his services to this
country and of his influence with his
government in assisting us in the
most critical and trying period of our
war for freedom.
1t must have been through Lafay-
ette, constantly at Washington's side
that Count de Rochambeau, then ris-
EN- to very high rank in the French
army, heard of the needs of America
Louis XVI held for him the very
highest regard
He prevailed upon the government
