porter of that noblest of causes.
But are you that kind of patriot?
God pity you if you are! And God
pity America if a majority of it's peo
pie were that kind of patriots!
HOW MUCH will you back up
those boys of ours over there? To the
LIMIT, as they are doing and giving?
Good; then you will buy every dollars
worth of Liberty bonds of the Fourth
Liberty loan that you can stagger I'M
der.
This loan is the largest yet. 1t
J calls, therefore, for the greatest sacri-
fees yet made. If you bought to the
limit last time, you must double your
| limit this time. For America to fail
on this call would DE for America to
desert the boys it has sent over there
to fight for it's self respect and it's
| liberties. Failure, therefore, is un-
thinkable, impossible.
There is the whole issue of the
Fourth Liberty loan. Take it home
with you. Sit in quiet counsel with
yourself, and ask yourself how much
you will back up those boys of ours
over there; as LITTLE as you can
get away with, or as MUCH as you
can get away with?-Duluth Herald

Getting Better
LETTER FROM CAMP DIX RE-
PORTS LESSENING OF IN
FLUENZA ILLNESS.

Camp Dix, N. J. Sept. 27, 1918.
Dear Friend:-
believe this is fair week for you
there at Redwood Falls, and that to-
day, the 9th is probably the last day.
This same September 9th is an an
nlversary day for Company L, or
what remains of the former Com
pany L. just year ago today we
left Redwood Falls, 1853 strong, only
September 27 of 1917 was only the
second day of the Incompatible Red
wood County Fair. We remember
that for in spite of the eagerness to
get away, the boys wanted a little
more portion of the fair spree. But
we left with a large send-off, and
today we enjoy those memories.
Nearly a year at Cody, down where
the sands of the desert seldom grow
cold. Then just a, month ago today
we arrived here at Camp Dix, Pre-
ceding us on the journey across are
most of the men we enlisted at Red
wood Falls, sent as a June replace
ment draft, and theirs has been the
splendid privilege to have taken part
in the big action against the Ger
mans
| A month here and we had expected
we would by this time be out on the
high seas. Major Hingeley is alrea-
dy across in advance of us, having
arrived there nearly a week ago. We
ourselves have been ready to go, fully
equipped as to personal equipment.
For sometime the men have been
wearing the little wool caps heavy
hob nail shoes and spiral puttees-
wrap leggins- distinctive articles
of clothing required for overseas.
And still here we pause.
But month and its extension in
Camp Dix is not so unpleasant, even
if the more restless. We are not yet
out of sorts with our comfortable
barracks, our splendid drill and par
ade grounds, our various convent
ences, and the many interesting pla-
ces around this camp, New York is
only two hours away, Philadelphia,
about a dollar distance, Trenton,
eighteen miles away by jitney, At
lantic City and it's famous Board
walk within easy reach, not to men
ton many other places that are MAX
ing themselves mighty hospitable to
the boys of the Sandstone division.
In all the larger centers are the var
ious War Service Community Clubs,
which not only "sleep and eat" the
enlisted man for hardly any price
at all, but farm them out to the
best of homes, direct them in sight
seeing tours, and what seems most
desirable to these chaps who have
been fed desert life for months, find
them girls, wholesome respectable
girls. The enlisted men are strong in
their praise of these clubs.
| Passes for about Is per cent of
the strength of an organization have
been available every Sunday and
those who have been able to save or
borrow any change at all get az Y,
non-ccms given the first chances-,f
they haven't missed reveille during
the week. From Saturday noon until
Monday morning the camp is rather
deserted.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1918-10-09

This Sunday there will be no exo-
dus and the reason therefore is also
the reason why we are not out on the
ocean. This camp has like most ev-
cry other army and naval camps in
country been smothered by an cpl
demic Of Spanish Influenza and at
present we are held under rigid
quarantine-no one allowed in, no
one allowed out except on the most
important business.
You will no doubt be visited with
this malady before it has worn itself
out and you will find it like severe
attack of the grippe, only perhaps
a little more severe. Judging by the
rate Of sickness in Company L, prac-
tically one man Of every two has been
abed with the influenza. We were
obliged to make part of the barracks
into an infirmary and take care OF
the milder cases ourselves, under the
supervision Of our regimental surge
ons. consequently the strictest SAM
tary regulators have been enforced
Cases becoming severe have been sent
to the base hospital and many pneu-
monias have developed. There have
been many deaths L company lost
the first man of it's history last Sat
urday and within the next three days
lost four more. OF these five, one
man was northerner from New Jer-
sey and the rest came from the south
west. Except Lieut.. Peavey none OF
the Redwood boys have been sick
enough to go to the base hospital,
and Lieut.. Peavey is now in a con-
valescent stage from very severe
attack.
Our work has been shelved during
the epidemic to give men the best
possible chance to keep themselves
fit and to take care Of those who
have been sick. And today as | write
the epidemic as far as this regiment
is concerned has virtually spent it
self, and it is question now of get
ting entirely over the effects Of the
disease for most Of the men. We

incidents in the Lines of
World Famous Women
How Hannah Smell ROved the World SOldler-Sailo
Find Her Lost Husband.
By ELOISE HARRINGTON

In order to make her way ABOUT
unhampered, Hannah donned men
clothes, adopting both the name anu
the garments of her own brother-lh-
low. She later managed to steal a
suit of clothes belonging to recruit
and enlisted as a marine. HenceLorCh
her life was full of thrills.
She travelled to the East, visited
the Indies, rounded the Cape OF Coca
Hope and took active part in many
battles She acted as picket guard
labored as did any of the men IN the
toll of battle preparations anu
handled a musket, it's said, as well as
the best of them. How she managed
to conceal her identity it is difficult to
conceive, but the fact remains that
her sex seems never to have been
suspected. However, she came per-
ilously near discovery on several &C.
casions.
In one battle she fired 81 rounds,
but she received herself something
like II different wounds. Fearful
less she be discovered if she fell into
the hands of the military physicians,
she enlisted the aid of an old negress
to whom she confided her secret.
With her help she managed to extract
the ball from her own wound and
bandage the lacerated parts. She
seems to have had wonderful vitality
for she recuperated quickly, and was
soon on her way again as feminine
soldier of fortune.
Soldering, however, was not Han
nah's purpose in life. 1t was simply
a means to an end, and for years she
kept on travelling, visiting stranSf
ports and peoples, in the hope that
some day she would find her recrean1
husband and bring him back to Eng
land with her.
After many years she finally founo
a, clew. 1t seems that her husband
had run off at Genoa, Italy, where he
had become involved with bad asso'
ciates, was led into crime, and finally
was convicted of murder and thrown
into the sea. All her thrilling adven'
lures, her courage and her daring
had been in vain.
On her reurn journey to England
| she revealed her identity to her ship
mates, and it is a tribute to the fem
| mime charm that she had maintained
through all her escapades that sh'

A romantic figure, who for many
years completely deceived her daily
associates about her sex and identity,
is Hannah Smell, soldier and sailor.
She was born in 1893, in Worcester,
England, of a good family. Her grand
father served under William III, and
died in battle, and her own father was
also in military service.
At the age of IT Hannah Smell lost
both parents, and at 20 she married
a seaman named James SUNNI. She
seems to have been desperately in love
with him, for even when he proved
himself worthless and deserted her
she still chung affectionately to His
memory. To find him became her
single purpose in life, but this was
by no means an ambition easy to
achieve. for the gentleman seems to
have been possessed of a rowing dis.
position.

Fairfield county has been asked to
furnish 10 nurses in the present CAM
paign for Red Cross nurses, for SER
vice in the military hospitals at home
and abroad. Bridgeport is expected
to furnish at least IL of this number.
More, if possible, as the surrounding
towns have fewer nurses to draw
from. Up to the present, IA nurses
have applied for enrolment, but more
are expected to send in their names
by July 1. Also several young wom-
en- have decided to apply for enroll
ment in the military 6raining schools
for nurses which the government is
establishing in connection with the
camp hospitals.
Nurses are provided with transpor-
tation to hospital to which they are
assigned, at home or abroad.
Caps and capes are furnished nurses
serving in the United States. They
wear their regulation white uniform.
and require about the same outfit
they would need in ordinary hospital
work. For foreign service a nurse
should have at least $50 for travelling
expenses, when she arrives in New
York although she is reimbursed
later for money spent for incidentals.
She should have also about $50 for
equipment in addition to the supplies
furnished by the Red Cross.
Following is the equipment pro-
vided by the Red Cross to nurses as
signed to foreign service:
One velour hat, one blue serge out
door uniform, one ulster, one cape,
two pair gloves Zone tan kid, one
woolen), two white shirtwaists, one
| wooden waist, four gray wash uni
forms, one set insignia, one set U. S
letters two pair black wooden tights
one steamer blanket, one sleeping
bag, one poncho or rubber blanket
one blanket roll, one sweater, one
| raincoat, eight aprons, two pair sleeve
| links, collars, cuffs and caps one rair
hat, rubber boots and moccasins.
In addition to these articles, nurses
will require plenty of warm under
wear, shoes and stockings and also
blue silk waist and extra serge skirt
several regulation white uniforms
Also a good supply of toilet articles, {
hypodermic set, bandage scissors anC
clinical thermometer, waterproof
money belt, collapsible basin, fountain
pen and ink tablets. A small alcoho
stove and supply of solid alcohol will
be found useful. If glasses are worn
