Atlanta, Ga, March AT the re-
cent conference Of all Camp general
secretaries with Southeastern De-
partment Headquarters Staff held in
Atlanta, it was decided to conduct in
the camps an intensive religious pro
gram during Easter week, ending
Faster Sunday, March 81.
"As Easter Week commentaries
the last seven days of our Savior's
stay on this earth; likewise Easter
week of 1918 may be close to the last
week for many Of our boys in khaki
and blue on this continent for many
months to come" said Associate Exc
cutive Secretary W. W. Alexander, a
Methodist minister of the Southern
Conference, discussing the plan at the
conference. "The men soon will be
sailing overseas.
During Easter week, away from
home and church, men will be hun
gering in the camps for the proper
religious services of all creeds. Night
ly during Easter week ministers rep
resenting the various denominations
should conduct religious meetings in
the Y. NJ c. A. huts, with a service
for all on Easter Sunday"
The camp secretaries have re-
turned to the training camps pre-
pared to obtain the cooperation Of
the various churches from the near
by cities and towns in arranging the
intensive Easter week religious pro-
gram. Palms and Easter lilies will
be used in decorating all Red Tri-
angle buildings.
The last months report of the
Southeastern Department religious
work activities show that In the
twenty-four camps 3S5,6SO enlisted
men attended the 1902 religious
meetings conducted in the Red Tri.

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, March 1.-The bodies of four
American naval men who have died
over here have just been shipped
back home on board a United States
naval supply ship. A brief funeral
service-the first of its kind to be
held here-took place on the quarter
deck Of the supply ship when the
bodies, in sealed leaden caskets were
received on board. The ship had just
finished unloading American supplies
at dock SO that several hundred
towns people were able to witness the
funeral service from points of van
tage ashore.
All flags on the American and
British man-of-war were half-masted
during the service which was con-
Quoted by the chaplain of the Ameri-
can flotilla flagship. The collins
were placed in the center of the deck
and each was covered with "Old
Glory" while grouped about were sew
eral bluejackets. The reading of the
funeral services over the band from
the flagship played played Nearer
My God to Thee" Then the collins
were lowered into the ships hold.
All the time the service was in pro-
gress the civilian onlookers stood
with barred heads,
One o'clock on a bright January
afternoon was chosen as the time for
the service, The body was placed in
a canvas casket. Draped with the
stars and stripes, it reposed on the
after-deck of the ship while the blue
jackets listened to the Episcopal bur-
ial prayer read by their commanding
officer. This over the destroyer was
brought to a stop for thirty seconds
while four sturdy bluejackets lowered
the body Of their shipmate over the
starboard side of the vessel.

Across the Seas They Call

Across the seas from every war-torn nation in the Allied cause
there comes the call for Red Cross help.
1t comes from soldiers who have grimly faced the cleaning
bayonet steel and poison gas and screaming shells, and who now
lie with parching threats and %throbbing wounds.
1t comes from soldiers sick with fever, pneumonia, tuberculosis.
1t comes from soldiers crippled, mutiated, blinded, who can no
longer fight and must be taught and trained for useful occupations.
1t comes from the underfed, shivering, helpless prisoners in the
German prison camps.
1t comes from little children, orphaned, homeless, slowly starv-
ing day by day, by tens and tens of thousands.
1t comes from mothers in the pilaged zones of war whose hearts
and souls have been made numb with horror.
From all these millions of suffering human beings there comes
across the seas the call for help-help that because of the fright
full burdens placed upon our Allies cannot be given unless it be
provided by the American Red Cross.
Another hundred million is needed to carry on"
What will Americas answer be?
