A. n. Griswold has been busy WIN
the various duties of his department.
He will at once proceed to appoint
cba;rmen TO vacancies in the Garment,
Salvage, Surgical Dressings, Shop ana
Tea Room departments, occasloned by
the resignation of former directors.
The entire Department Of Military
Relief is to be thoroughly re-organ-
ized to take care of the increasing
duties devolving upon it. Glasses VIII
ba organized in First Aid, Home d.
etics. etc. and the workrooms Will
be fairly humming with activity
shortly.
Mrs. Campbell has organized the
Publicity Department along the lines
laid out at District heaquarters.
Strict account will be taken OF all
Red Cros publicity in the county
through the branches and chapter
chairman, and semimonthtly re-
port is being made to division head-
quarters which will Include newspa-
per clippings, accompanied by card
report upon the number of inches
given by the newspapers of the county
TO Red Cross work and its educational
items.
1t is the purpose to send publicity
matter to all auxiliaries, to be read
at their meetings. Also it will be
the aim of the department to post
the bulletins coming semimonthly in
conspicuous places. 1t is expected that
the Boy Scouts will aid in this par
ticular part of the work.
The Red Cross will lopen its head
quarters as a rest room on Liberty
Day, as per request of J. F. Seymour
Mrs. C. K. Cooper was appointed
chairman of a committee to take
charge of the float, which the chap
ter hopes to have in the parade.
Steps are to be taken at once to
collect outstanding pledges to the
War Fund drive of last spring. Every
body should nsy up as quickly as pos
sible and save the committee in
charge any unnecessary effort in col
lecting the money. 1t is, of course,
a sorry thing for one not to pay his
personal debts, but surely the man
who fails to meet his written prom
ise to pay the Red Cross is guilty of

"Any technical military officer
knows that to drive the enemy out
of an entrenched position will cost
the assaulting army loss of at least
two to one cf the defenders. The
British army on the western front
is losing $4,000 to 10000 soldiers a
week.
"The assistance of 100000 Amer
'-~- ~oldiers under General Pershing
make it possible to smash the Hin
denburg line and drive the Huns
from one trench system to another,
until they are forced across the River
Rhine.
Generals Foch and Pershing real
ize the enormous task before them,
as General Pershing's recent "hurry-
| up" order for 100000 more Ameri-
can soldiers at the earliest moment
for the firing line in France, proves.
Turkey may quit, Austria Hun
gary may be forced with withdraw,
but the military party of Germany
is in the saddle and will fight to
the LAST DITCH, as the menace
from the mas sof deceived Germans,
when the truth finally dawns upon
them, would mean violent DEATH
to ALL the militarists.
To drive a wedgo through the per-
manent Notifications on the River
Rhine would cost from 100000 tC
100000 men.
"There is much quicker and less
costly method.
"The permanent Notifications or
the River Rhine will be made unten-
| able when our air fleets are in ac.
| ton.
"While one enormous fleet of air.
ships is smashing this line, other air.
ships of the latest improved patterr
will be dynamiting all the cities in
Germany with such enormous de-
struction that they will be brought
TO their knees and beg for peace on
any terms demanded.
Therefore with General Pershine
begging for 100000 more Ameri-
can soldiers, we must back him up

TTwere not hard to fight when passion mounts,
Nor hard to give when fighting counts;
1t were not hard to hit out straight
When blood is up and victories wait.
1t were not hard to pay the price
Of patriots choice
When ruins nigh and Death rides by
With fateful voice.

The thing that should be done
For freedoms cause.
But, ah! It's only they, whom men and angels bless
AS patriots true,
Who strive in calm as we'll as stress,
For country's sake,
And sternly do the thing that's hard to do.
Great need is now, and never less,
For war work cause.
We must not swerve nor pause
But carry through as patriots all,
The work of victory true.
We have come through victorious in war;
now let us achieve victorious peace. Let us
not quit until we have completed the business
