Red Cross Campaign. At re-
cent meeting of the Chapter School
Committee, a subcommittee COM
mittee of Rev. Father Peters, Mr..

the School Committee, was selec-
ted to canvass the lower district of
the parish in behalf of the Junior
membership, and after performing
the work assigned it. this commit
tee called on Rev. Father Rochard
of Breaux Bridge and enlisted his
most Hearty cooperation in the
campaign to be conducted i'm the
upper part of the parish. As a re-
suit of the untiring and indefati-
gable efforts of the school teachers
turnout the parish, aided by what.
ever encouragement and assistance
that the Chapter School Commit
tee and its subcommittee could
render, am pleased to submit the
following report of the work ac-
complished, and trust that you

CITY'S QUOTA
Hospital Nurses Drive Falls
Short of Mark Set by
Nation

If Harrisburg's drive for student
nurses is to be success, eighteen
nurses must register before Saturday
evening. This is the present situa-
tion in the nursing drive as explained
this morning by officials in charge of
the campaign. The campaign was
launched several weeks ago and is
to secure enlistments for the United
States Students Nurse Reserve. The
object OF securing the nurses is to
release graduate nurses for service
overseas
Harrisburg's quota for the drive is
40 student nurses. Up to noon to-day
there were twenty-five applications
for enlistment received at the local
recruiting station at the Harrisburg
Hospital Miss Frances NJ. Scott. chair
man. a single new application was
announced. being the application of
Martha Creswell. 211 Harris street
Nation-Wide Drive
The local campaign is in co-opera-
tion with a nationwide drive for
$4,000 student nurses. The drive is
under the auspices of the Woman's
Committee of the Council of National
Defense. According TO Red Cross
Clippings" the official bulletin of the
pennsylvania Delaware division of
the American Red Cross, the plea for
students is meeting with great sue
cess in other cities throughout the
entire country. Many Pennsylvania
cities have already passed their
quota and Red Cross officials have
expressed their desire that Harris
burg may pass it's quota, too, in order
to uphold the eneviable record of be-
ing an "over the top" city in other
drives.
The requirements for enrolment
are very free" reads a recent staate-
ment of the National Council. "Ap-
plicants can be between 10 and 35
years of age. Their education may
vary from sub high school to college
graduation. They must hold themselves
in readiness until April l, 1919 for
their assignment to training school,
unless they have, in the meantime,
entered other government war SER
vice. They have been asked to en-
roll without restriction as to school.
which may be either a civilian hos
pital or the Army Training School.

London, Aug. 50-l am writing
on the thirtieth OF August and | am
wondering how YOU over there are
taking the news Of the great ad-
vance. On our side, the face of
things remains unchanged. You
cant get our people worked up.
Some excitement there may be in
newspaper offices and the inner
governmental departments, but on
the streets, in the cars, i'll the
restaurants, in the saloons-nothing
| have watched the public face and
manner during these four years OF
war; but it is impossible to Judge
from the attitudes OF the crowd
how things go with us. Today, We
have four weeks OF continued sue
cess; yet our manner is in no way
changed from that OF last Easter,
when we were driven back and back
10 the Marne.
In those DAYS men would buy their
papers, and enter saloon and per-
haps remark casually to the barmaid: &:
News looks bad; eh ?
"Hes, it looks pretty bad. What
can ! get YOU 2
Today the same clinches are being
handed out.
News looks good. eh :"
eyes. we seem to be getting a
move on now. What's yours?' p
And that is all. no elation, no dis
cussion. no happy forecasting OF
triumph. SO, at Easter. there was no
depression, no gloomy foreboding OF
Collapse. Such jeremaids were re
served for our press and our poll
ticians, who never yet have under
stood their public. Nor are we
pestered by the "What-did-l-tell-
YOU" friend. In this fourth year we
take things as they come. Many OF
MS. in March last. told our secret
hearts that Foch or IIaig had some
thing up his sleeve; but We kept the
belief to ourselves. We took our
holiday and went to the restaurants
and theatres; and we are doing the
same today. All we feel is that the
news is good, and that we hope 1t
will continue to be good but we do
not anticipate. for the whole thing
seems almost too good to be true.
Last wear our comic papers con-
tained certain satrical references to
some of your first-comers, who had
announced that they were going to
finish the war for us. We didn't
like it. But, as things are, it looks
as though the remark were justified.
Your BOYS certainly have something
to write home about. for it was only
their presence in large numbers that
has enabled Foch to make this great
move. Believe me. we are giving
thanks to the Americans; silent
thanks perhaps, but that is our way.
Wei mean the common people, not
our press or our Spokesmen-do
not throw bouquets at ourselves or
other people, and though you may
search London streets in vain for
any public expression of our thanks,
it still is expressed in the unnum-
bered anonymous kindness shown to
YOUR men in London today.
