BOYS and GIRLS SERVE
WORLD THRU RED CROSS
Junior Red Cross Members to Make
The Best Citizens of The Future
Generation Dorchester Making
Many Contributions.

The fact that the Junior REQ
Cross AuXiliaries of this county are
doing splendid work is an evidence
OF the fact that humanity, patriot.
ism and good citizenship is being in.
stilled in the minds of the men and
women of tomorrow. The following
letter from Miss Williamson to Miss
Ida NJ. Bassett shows how the work
is progressing:
Miss Ida NJ. Bassett,
Director Bureau Junior Member

Washington, D. G.
My dear Miss Bassett:
| take pleasure in submitting the
following report on Junior Red Cross
work in Dorchester county. The
time has been very short since we
started our membership drive for the
Junior Red Cross Auxiliary, and it
has been little hard to make the
teachers and pupils realize
First. that it is a means by which
the boys and girls in school can
serve the whole world By it they
can help the sick and suffering peo-
pie in Europe and in our own coun-
try. By it President Wilson says
they can learn to be the future good
citizens of this great country which
we all love.
Secondly, that it is possible for ev-
cry school to become a Junior Red
Cross Auxiliary irrespective of a
complete school fund. That the en-
phasis is placed upon patriotism and
citizenship rather than upon any ma
io1 t,-tI he 81,
will be able to make.

of the Army and Navy, Army Posts,
Navy Yards, Aviation Fields, Supply,
Quartermasters' and Training Camp,
munition manufacturers, shipbuild-
ing yards, and various Federal and
State camps and headquarters To-
Gated in different parts of the coun-
try. Some of these camps require
telephone facilities equal to cities of
10000 inhabitants. These new CEN
tiers have required largely increased
facilities for connection, including ad
ditional transcontinental circuits.
At the request of the United States
Coast Guard complete plans for the
enlargement of the Coast Guard
telephone system were made and the
work of reconstruction and extend
ing these lines done. This work in
cludes connecting about 100 light
houses and 200 coast guard stations,
the laying of some 800 miles of sub
marine cable, the construction of
over $50 miles of pole lines and the
stringing of over 1900 miles of
wire. The Coast Guard system is
now connected with the Bell System.
The Bell System has been called
upon to furnish a very large amount
of telephone equipment and supplies
of every kind, including many spe-
cial devices for the Army and Navy,
both for use in this country and by
the American Expeditionary Forces
in France.
Fourteen battalions of picked Off
GERS and men, trained in telephone
and telegraph work, have Joined the
Signal Corps from the Bell System.
A Division of Research and In
spection for the American EXpedi-
tionary Forces in France has been
organized and recruited largely from
the scientific staff and laboratory
forces of the Bell System, which is
represented altogether by about T.
500 employees in the various Govern
ment activities incident to the war.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
HELPING in WAR WORK
Very Active i'm Increasing The Eff
cheney of The American Forces,
Both in The United States And
Abroad.

That adequate war service, mill
! tary, official and commercial, was
provided for the United States by the
Bell System, was the outstanding fact
in the last annual report of Presi-
dent Theodore n. Vail The essen
tial feature of Bell service is prepar-
edness, the essential characteristic is
! dependency" says Mr.. Vail, and the
record of the Bell Telephone System
for 1917 shows how it met the great
est emergency of modern times Ito
the satisfaction of the Government,
without any particular or serious dis
turbance to the business of the
country"
Immediately upon the declaration
of war, precedence was established
throughout the system for all Gov
ernment service, and 10000 toll op-
orators were speedily trained for this
work. Precedence was also estab-
lished at Washington and over the
entire country for the maintenance
of existing Government facilities, and
the construction of numerous addi-
tional facilities for communication.
Elaborate plans had been worked
out in advance, and work was done
in a few weeks that ordinarily would
have taken several months.
War has made new centers and
new routes of traffic and the increase
in toll telephone service in Washing
ton has been greater than the in
crease during the eight previous
years. To meet this condition, new
facilities centering at Washington
have been provided and the humber
of radiating lines increased many
times. Important additions have
been made to the cables connecting
the seaboard cities from Washington
to Boston.
Five times the toll switchboardS
at Washington have been increased
and farther increases are already un-
der way.
Local traffic in the Washington
telephone exchange increased many
times, which is being met by new or
larger central offices and an increase
in the operating force which has
necessitated the bringing of hun
dreds of trained operators from 9TH
er cities.
To supply departmental and inter-
departmental service in Washington,
ldISe dHouul vi uHuei SiouHu Ca
BILE has been laid directly connecting
widely separated department build
ings both permanent and temporary.
Several of the departmental multiple
switchboards required are large
enough for a city of one hundred
thousand population.
For use in the national service 49,
900 miles OF toll wire and $4,000
miles of circuit for telegraph use
have been taken for commercial ser
vice and devoted exclusively to the
use of the Government.
In other sections it has been nee
essary to provide telephone facilities
and toll connections for the Nation

REPUBLICANS
URGED TO WORK
Joseph r. Grundy Issues Call
to Elect Congressman and
Legislators Too

An appeal to the voters of the state
to aid in promoting the election of
William G. Sproul to the governor
ship and of all his colleagues on the
Republican ticket, with special en-
phasis upon the Congressional candi-
dates, is made in an address by Jo-
seph r. Grundy, chairman of the
executive committee of the Penn
sylvania Patriotic Union.
THE. coming election on Novem-
Der 5 is of tremendous Importance"
says Mr.. Grundy. THE governor,
lieutenant-g governor, secretary of in
ternal affairs and state senators from
even numbered districts will be
chosen for four years service and
the entire House of Representatives
In addition we shall elect four Con-
gressmen- -at-large and thirty-two
from the various districts. The Re-
publicans have selected candidates of
experience and ability and it is es-
sential to the good name and well
fare of the state that we elect them.
We want as our representatives
at Washington and Harrisburg men
who have at heart the best indus
trial interests of the nation and
state. We have been giving, to the
utmost limit, men and money in a
war for democracy. Our minds are
largely on the western front, and
victory seems assured. But the fruits
| of that victory, gained at such a
cost. can only be enjoyed through
| future able management in legisla-
ton and administration. Republi-
| can leaders are working to maintain
and perpetuate a democracy at
| home, with industrial liberty and
progress in the years to come.
1--WE are passing through a criti-
| cal period. A still more critical
| period will follow-perhaps very
soon-and we must take lesson from
our unpreparedness for war, with its
awful cost, and not fail to prepare
now for peace. We beg you to give
| heed to the urgency of the situation.
One-fifth and more of our voters are
| away from the state in the nations s
| service. AS man ymore have failed
| to register. OF these absent and un-
| registered voters the large propor-
| ton are Republicans, and as the
Democrats in their fight for faction
have registered very fully, success
| in close Congressional, Senatorial
and Assembly districts is by no
means assured.

was largely instrumental in the
nomination of candidates whose abil-
| ity and integrity are unquestioned.
1t is not surprising then that this
organization has been chosen to
complete the good work by getting
every voter possible to the polls.
But this necessary and legiti-
mate work in every Congressional
and Senate and Assembly district
| means a vast amount Of necessary
| labor and expense at every step. 1t
must be done if we are to win"

city. 1t seems as though the success
full man of to-day has a keen realiza-
tion of the value of being able to eX-
press himself in forceful manner be-
fore a gathering of any kind. While
the class last year was an unqualified
success and il was necessary osre-
fuse many applications. the fact that
so many enrollments have been made
this year before the opening night in
dicates that this fall and winter will
see many unusual gatherings of
prominent men at the Y. NJ. c. A."
