Memorial Service Held for
Lawrence Tenant Ballard
81 sstctaI co--s.ron..rt

sEwAREN, Nov. s0-Father John
Crowell OF Amityville, L. l., conduct
ed a most impressive memorial serv-
ice at st. Johns church yesterday for
Lawrence Tenant Ballard who died
In France September 20.
Ballard enlisted in Squadron A in
April. 1917. and was transferred to
the 105th Machine Gun Battalion. He
was with the Haig Army in Flanders
when he met his death. -
Father Crowell read a commenda-
ton for bravery and service from
Major General Organ, also from
Field Marshal Haig for the part the
battalion took in breaking the Hin
denburg line.
Father Crowell was In charge Of
st. Johns church several years ago
and at that time formed q friendship
for the Ballard family which has
strengthened with the passing years.
His text and opening remarks were
the keynote of the services: Tho
righteous live forevermore; their re-
ward Is with III Lord, and the care
of them is with the Most High.
Therefore. shall they receive a glori-
Gus kingdom and q beautiful crown
from the Lords hand; for with His
right hand shall He cover them, and
! with His arm shall he protect them"
Apocrypha book of Wisdom S, If
4 1tGItn Hi HlAltelNn verses.
"It is with a deep sense of personal
unworthiness that / fulhll the COM
mission. the honor OF which l greatly
feel. of saying a brief and simple
word In memory of Lawrence Ten
nant Ballard, n I lave selected the
/ words which have been read as a
pivot for our thought this afternoon
because to me they sum up very COM
pletely what should be our principal
reaction when one whom we have
loved and whom VIZ continue to love,
has made the supreme, the ultimate
offering-himself.
such a service as this is not pri-
marily an occasion for words, but
rather for deep and reverent thanks
giving. 1t is in no sense a funeral
J service: we are not gathered here to
mourn; but IL we interpret Alright the
great event OF the past fou years
, we are present at a coronation"
1 At the close of the sermon Father
| Crowell blessed and consecrated to the
use of church a complete commun-
ion service. in silver. the gift OF Mr..
and Mrs. Louis +. Ballard in memory
OF their son.

KEYPORT, Nov. 30-Clyde Win
terton. son Of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Winterton, OF South Keyport, who was
formerly captain of the 18th lnfan-
try, 18th Division, A. f. F., has been
promoted to major. Major Winterton
received his promotion while In q re-
cent fight, the commission being
handed to him while he was engaged
in one of the fiercest battles of the
war. In a letter to his parents
which he wrote November 2, he men,
tons the promotion and gives a brief
account of the battle. Major Winter
toms letter in part follows:
Have been in the most savage
fighting for a month and have Just re-
turned to the rear to rest. Chateau
Thierry and st. Mihiel where the
Americans made their famous drives
are considered pleasure excursions OF
what we had m there were men
with us who had been both places.
I had the honor to be in command Of
the battalion that made the attack for
my~brigade n my name was sent
to the A. E. f. headquarters for pro-
motion while on the battlefield and I
received my commission yesterday to
date from October 26, while we were
still at the front. Am. glad I stayed
with the division M was able to re-
ceive one of the most coveted honors
and h a Is promotion on the field. The
29th division has received two cita-
tons and l am told has made one of
the greatest records against fearful
odds in the war. The 18th made
them all take off their hats and my
battalion which was formerly the old
4th New Jersey. showed the division
as well as the Huns what real fight
ing men could do when they made
their attack In the face OF terrible
odds and tore through the best troops
the kaiser owned for over a mile,
fighting like demons until they reach
ed their objective. The would b. going
yet ] guess ha dive been allowed. for
the Huns were running and moi night
ing when we reached the line we were
to stop at.
The only humorous thing about
the attack was the official German
report which stated hat they were att
tackled by twelve American battal-
ions and forced to give way before SUI
perior numbers. when as a matter of
fact when I went in my battalion was
only two-thirds strength and when 1t
came out-well guess"
Major Winterton has recovered from
severe wounds which he received In
action some time ago.

-Four Minute Talks
METHOD.

There are way and way and then
way OF doing things. Some ways ap-
peal to us, others do not. Some ways
we take hold of enthusiastically, 9TH
ers we do simply because we must.
The man who can turn O. task Into a
pleasure, like Tom Sawyer did when
he was set to painting the fence, is a
born genius and easily makes his way
among men.
While nobody perhaps could have
foretold what this great war would
cost, It was readily to be seen that cit
liens would have to support II as never
before In the history of the world men
had stood behind anything with their
substance. Knowing the dislike OF
the ordinary man to keep Smelling
out, would 1t not have been better to
have made the appeal on one, broad
comprehensive basis2 In addition to
the campaigns for selling Liberty
Bonds and War Saving Stamps we
have had campaigns for the Y. M. c..
A. and the six other allied works. and
oss. these having the
sanction of the government, whIl
there have been many other objects
for which appeals also have been
made. Why not put them all to-
together7
1t is true, the Y. M. c. A. and kim
dred work. as we'll as the Red Cross
work. is not directly supported by the
government. At the same time they
are all very necessary, and If not
lone by private interests they would
have to be done in some form by the
government. Then why not tack all
these additional things OIL to a Liberty
Loan campaign. and make one bite
of the cherry? The last Liberty Loan,
as well as all the others, was far over
subscribed, demonstrating the ability
of the people to give largely. In fact,
enough was ov~ersubscribed to make
necessary the Y. M. G. A. campaign
for $17O, 5000, 900. and the Red Cross
campaign so soon to be launched
True. the latter Is said to be only a
membership campaign; but a 100 per
cent success, that is. a membership
for every man, woman and child in
the United 5ttaes and they all ought
to belong. would bring 500, 900, 900
into the Golfers of the Red Cross, quite
a tidy sum.
The present method seems like to
tina of killing the goose hat is laying
the golden egg. Every campaign
a little harder, and from now
on 1t will be doubly harder, because
SO mhany will fail to see how such
huge sums Of money are needed when
the war is over The average citizen
has been hit rather often In a pretty
sore spot. in the neighborhood of the
pocketbook. Just rs much might have
been punched and Uncle Sam had not
asked quite SO often. As II Is, we have
done. and will continue to do 1t, be-
cause we are Americans, and do the
things that must be done. At the
same time we should have done IL q
good deal more cheerfully IL some Of
it had been somewhat camoufaged.
