STORM HANDICAPS
RED CROSS PICNIC

A violent rain and electric storm
initiated appreciably against the fl
nancial success of the Red Cross bene-
fit picnic at Chippewa Lake park We'd
nesday afternoon and evening, for
which extensive preparations had been
made and sanguine expectations were
entertained.
Considering the unfavorable circum-
stances, however, there was fairly
large crowd, estimated between 500
and 600, and it is reported that the
Red Cross will be benefited by about
5000. The actual figures had not
been computed at the time the Sentinel
went to press.
The ball game between Medina and
Spencer teams was begun on time in
the afternoon, but after two innings
had been played the storm prevented
finishing the game.
Two enjoyable features of the after
noon were the concerts by the Medina
Glee Club and the Naval Reserve Quar-
tet of Cleveland, followed by an ad-
dress by s. E. Brewster, president OF
the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce
on the subject Of Red Cross activities
The address was an able one, inter
spersed with humorous anecdote, and
was enthusiastically received by the lis
tenerS.
The band carnival for the evening
was reduced to single short concert
by the Medina band, the bands from
Leroy, Seville and Brunswick being
unable to take part.
"Doc" Wise conducted catch-penny
game in the form of a wooden kaiser
the head of which operated with {
hinge and spring. A small fee was
exacted for the privilege of trying tt
knock over Bills block. The Rec
Cross benefited by this $20.63.

MERGE Of all peoples, freedom for
prosperity, freedom for democracy.
Like clap of thunder came the
world war in 1914. True to the Mon
roe doctrine, which we may Justly
claim to be the greatest document in
the history Of the civilized world, the
United States attended strictly to the
affairs of America until the safety Of
world democracy was so terribly out
ragged by the most dangerous of foes
that she could no longer remain neu.
trail Then she entered the fight. She
went in fearlessly and fearlessly will
she conquer.
But America will not stop at this.
During one year of war she has
built up the greatest merchant ma
rine in existence, and now her ship
yards and ship-building industry riv-
al those of Great Britain, hitherto
without rival She is rapidly as
sembling a vast army, composed of
the finest and best men in the world
men whose ancestors were of the
chosen from all nationalities; men
with the highest ideals and the
strongest characters to uphold them
and the bravest hearts and strongest
bodies to endure America, it has been

telling way than that followed by the
"kultured" Hun. The youth of Amer
lea from the day they can begin to
understand are taught to love and
honor the flag. One way America does
this is by providing an education for
her children; by encouraging freedom
of thought and individuality in ev-
erything. The people of America are
Ifree-free to follow their chosen pur-
suits, to make their homes and to be
happy. What is the result? Foreign
ers from almost every country on the
globe flock to our shores as the haven
OF peace, prosperity and happiness.
And they all, foreigners and Ameri-
cans, alike, love and adore our gov
eminent and the red white and blue,
which protects them. You may say
that Germany has taught her subjects
to love her iron-clad rule. But they do
not love 1t; they dread 1t and cannot
but obey it for fear. Does the United
States want to be prepared in that
way? But who shall say that America
