War Children's Relief Fund

The War Children's Relief Fund,
Number two Rector Street, New
York City, has supplied US with
printed material and white stock
ings for gathering Christmas con-
tributions for the war children of
our Allies through the schools of
ST. Croix county. We have sent
this material to all the teachers but
the work in making such a collec-
ton will be handicapped because
many of the schools are closed and
will not reopen before Christmas.
We have asked the teachers of
schools that are closed to ask the
officers of the Junior War Savings
Societies to make a canvass for the
collection in those districts. wish
it might be possible for every
school in the county to make a
small contribution to the War Chill
dren's Relief Fund. l wish the of
fcers of the War Savings societies
will assist your teachers in the dis
tricts where the schools are closed
and make this campaign a merited
success. District number seven
town of Baldwin, has already re-
ported that $40. has been collected
and will be sent to the War Chill
dren's Relief Fund, New York City.
Awaiting further reports we are

The City Schools opened Mon
day morning, with a good attend
ance, what promises to be a most
successful session. A full corps
Of able teachers were in their
places and both teachers and
pupils seem to be happy because
of the event.
A goodly number of parants
were on hand and the School
Board was there to assure all
present that everything was to
be done to make the. term a
success.
Chairman Stovall presided
through the opening exercises
and told those present that the
faculty was to have the united
backing of the Board. Mayor
Fitzgerald made a short talk and
commended to the school the
spirit of cooperation and promis-
ed a full measure fromtthe City
Fathers. DR.. Burson told of
of some of the war works activi-
ties and promised to divulge
more as time unfolds the plans.
Supt. Garrett talked on the big
subject DO" He made it clear
that everything was to be ac-
complished by doing.
The school spirit seems to be
thoroughly aroused and we be-
speak for this the banner year
in our school history.

Letter from James Hurt

August II, 1918.
Dear Papa,
We arrived in New York this
afternoon. | wrote you a card
while at Colon but expect that
you will get this letter before
you do the card, as | have an
idea that We brought up that
mail.
j ! surely had some trip and will
tell you about it. | hope that
lyou will not worry and | don't
think you will any more if | tell
Y you than if | don't, SO | will tell
you, When we left New York
on our way down we received a
distres signal from a ship that
was directly on our course. We
expected trouble but was dis
appointed. The rest of it was
all right till we got off the coast
of North Carolina coming back,
then we were chased all one
night by a submarine. Some
excitement believe me. Before
this happened, | had been sea
sick but when | found out what
was going on, | did not think
about it. We escaped these all
0. K. We ran into a hurrican
while running from the subs, a
gale of seventy miles, and this
lasted for a day. Of all the peo-
pie you ever saw sick we had
them aboard this ship. We
carried two hundred passengers
back. We turned to an angle of
thirtyseven degrees and | tell
you that is almost over, but with
the good Captain we had we
managed to get in port at Nor
folk, Va. the next night. We
stayed for twelve hours, then
started for New York. Two
miles out we discovered mine
but missed it. The following
night we came across an electri-
cal storm which ran some of the
passengers almost into histories.
This did not last but a few hours
besides that we had a nice trip.
| have not received any of
your mail yet but will write
again before we leave and
answer any questions you may
ask me. Don't worry about me.
| feel like | am earning my
money now. Will close and
write again in few days. Don't
know when we will leave New
York.
Lot of love to all.

many million of Red Cross knit
ters may know the plans of the
American Red Cross for future
knitting, George E. Scott, acting
manager of the American Red
Cross, has issued the following
statement: w
When the war; industries
board sometime ago advised the
Red Cross that future production
of knitting yarn would be great
ly reduced we Immediately co IL
menced to purchase all yarn
suitable for our knitting. AS a
result we have today in stock or
on order 1,400,000 pounds Of
yarn for distribution to our
chapters. 1t is hoped that we
may obtain some additional yarn
from wool unsuitable for govern
ment use. The expected total,
however, will be considerable
below the 10000, pounds
used last year.
while the total of yarn we
can secure is being determined
we are studying how to use our
supply to produce only garments
which are most essential. When
a conclusion is reached we will
announce our full program for
knitting.
In addition to this stock of
yarn, the American Red Cross
has ready for distribution 1,000,-
600 sweater, 1884, 600 muffiers,
$4,000 wristlets, 2S8, 900 he'll
NETS and 1928, 600 pairs Of socks,
a total of 8, 674. coo articles. We
are hopeful, therefore, that these
and such additional garments as
we shall be able to make will
enable us to meet the more
urgent requirements Of our men
the coming winter. In this con-
,nection it will be of interest to
know that, from September /,
1917 to June 80, 1918, the Ameri-
can Red Cross distributed $685. j
600 knitted garments to the
army and navy of the United
States. During the same period
$40, 900 Knitted articles were sent
to the Red Cross commissioners
in France and Italy for distribu-
ton to soldiers. sailors and
civilians.
"At the request of the war
industries board, with which the
Red Cross works in close CO.
operation, we have urged chap
ters and individual workers not
to buy wool in the open market,

Summoned before the senate to

that between 81 900, 100000 and s1.50o,-
100000 must be put into the railroads
from the federal treasury TO make them
effective in the war crisis.
McAdoo said his survey OF the rail
situation has convinced him govern
I0ent funds must go into the railroads

He forecast government control for
some time and asserted that congress
should not limit it TO duration OF the
