Send Him The Herald.

Are you sending your boy in the
training camp or at the front The
Bamberg Herald? If not you are de-
priving him of one of the greatest
pleasures Imaginable You have
been away from home. Remember
how you longed to see your favorite
home paper? Just imagine your boy
being in France, 5000 miles away and
then think what joy it would be for
him to get The Herald-all the news
from homeland then hurry to The
Herald Office and subscribe for him.
He is busy fighting. He hasn't time
to write letters, so attend to this for
him-today.

The Red Cross Work Rooms.

Some weeks ago when the local
chapter of the Red Cross inaugural
ed a beginning of the making of
surgical dressings, the chapter was
confronted by the lack of proper
quarters for this work, which must
be handled in a very careful and
sanitary manner. The Carlisle
school came to the rescue of the
chapter and kindly offered the use
of the lower floor in the annex to the
administration building, which was
built last year, and which had never
been completed in the interior.
Through the generosity of the people
of Bamberg, and of some friends out
of the city, the chapter has been en-
abled to fit two rooms in this build
ing in a most excellent manner for
the work of the chapter. This work
has now been completed, and actual
work on making dressings and other
surgical appliances is now going on.
With the completion of these
rooms, the chapter now has commS'
dious quarters. The rooms have
been supplied with large work tables,
plenty of shelving, etc., and the
rooms are large enough to permit OF
great deal of work being carried
on. The chapter is to be congratu-
lated upon securing such excellent
quarters, and from now on much will
be expected from the Bamberg chap
ter. This is not intended to mean
however, that the chapter has been
other than active, for within the
past few months the local Red Cross
organization has made up and ship
ped hundreds of garments, in addi-
tion to carrying on other work.

NEGRO KILLED AT CHURCH.
Sank Williams Stays Willie Faust al
Sweet Home.

Another homicide was added to
Bamberg county's credit last Sunday.
This time it occurred at church
the Sweet Home church, few miles
from Bamberg, and Sank Williams is
accused of the killing. Willie Faust
is the dead negro. The killing oc-
Cured Sunday, and the inquest was
held over Faust's body on Monday,
the verdict of the jury being that
Faust came to his death from pistol
shot wounds at the hands of Sank
Williams. Williams has been arrest
ed and is now in jail awaiting trial.
The papers in the case On file in
the clerk of courts office reveal very
little about the killing. Two witness
es, Bertha Nelson and Clara Kelley,
both testified that they saw Williams
shoot Faust in a row at the church.
AS to what they were rowing about,
there was no evidence, and The Her
aid has not heard any of the circum-
stances.
Clara Kelley, in addition to testify
ing that she saw Williams shoot Faust
twice, adds that she saw him pull
his pistol out of his pocket and ex-
claim to Faust, 81 have got you,
and then fire.
DR.. Robert Black, who performed
the autopsy, testified that he found
two wounds in the dead negro's body,
one in the chest, which penetrated
the lungs, and was sufficient to pro-
duce death; and another in the right
arm at the elbow.

Continued Fight
Against Tuberculosis

The Red Cross had always been iden-
tilted with the fight against tubercu-
losis, and in France this disease was
threatening to take all which the war
spared; it was marching through the
devastated areas, where families lived
huddled in cellars; it had invaded the
trenches, and soldiers were carrying it
back with them to districts which
might otherwise have been measurably
immune.
But the Red Cross-working in this
field in cooperation with the Rookie
feller Foundation-has established a
system which will eventually include
three hundred dispensaries through
out France, with visiting nurses at
tached, and q system of sanatoriums
for the treatment of advanced cases,
This has taken upward of two millions
OF American volunteer dollars.
One would like to tell of the recon-
struction of entire villages-many of
them, alas, wiped out by the latest
German drive. One would like more
than merely to mention the Red Cross

pies how to resume life and how to
conduct their living so as to secure re-

Working for
Lasting Peace

The War Council has laid out it's
work with three purposes in view:
I. To be ready to care for our SOL
diers and sailors on duty whenever
and wherever that care may be
needed.
II. To shorten the duration of the
war by strengthening the morale Of
all the inter-allied peoples and their
armies, and especially by alleviating
the sufferings Of those peoples upen
whose soil the war is being fought.
III. By thus extending a message
of practical relief to those most
! stricken, to enable them to under
stand the disinterestedness of Amer
lea, and thus to lay the foundations
OF lasting peace in the world.
OF these three aims, the last. al.
though stated separately, would, as q
matter Of fact, result from the carry.

Relieves Worry
About Families

just here is the point at which the
Red Cross by its so-named field service,
does for the soldier what the medical
man cannot do, and should not be ey
pected to do. The field service man
is the intermediary between the in
valid and the outside world; he re-
establishes for him his broken con-
facts, he finds for him the sage coun-
sellor or the legal adviser; if the man
IS unable to write, he sees to it that
the letter is written and sent. And
this is no haphazard service. 1t is ali
systematized; and, what is more. the
value of it has been recognized by
those highest in military authority. In
general order, issued this wear ard
signed by the Secretary of War. the
Red Cross is especially authorized "to
relieve the anxiety and to sustain the
morale of soldiers who are worried
about their families at home"
So the field director, with wisdom
and tact, assists the soldier to help his
family, and the family to help it's SOL
dier.
Constructive work, then. physical. ma :
terial. mental and in morale-it is for
this that the Red Cross dollars go, as
went the twenty-five million surgical
dressings. the four hundred thousand
hospital garments and the five hundred
thousand knitted garments made by the
women of this country for the Red
Cross last year. The Red Cross sup
IL Plements the work of the army and
tne navy; it .cooperates with the work
OF the Training Camp Activities Com

BUS, Y. w. c. A., and Y. NJ. II. A.
and aids them in their benefcent
and noble tasks. 1t asks now for q
nundred million to "Carry on" For,
aithough figures have been given here
only for actual relief expenditures,
cash advances for work in France and
IN this country, and allotments Of
capitat for the enormous daily pur-
chases and the enormous daily ship
ments now under way have taken up
most of the remainder of its first hun-
ared million subscribed last year. Is

The idea that America must organize
and go after trade if she wishes to
obtain it is almost as recent an acqui-
sition to Americans as that she should
be obliged to send troops to Europe in
self-defence. But it has already taken
as firm q root.

list of stockholders. Here are few

one thing, the vast foreign commerce
of South and Central America, which
was 60 per cent German before the
war, has virtually fallen into Americas
lap since hostilities commenced. This
was not in the least due to American
enterprise. The war simply shook the
tree and the plum fell.
But this trade will by no means 40

Victory Depends
On Red Cross

10 turn now to the military relief
furnished by the Red Cross-the chief
aim OF the Red Cross at the outset of
the war in 1914, from which the vast
system Of civil relief has been built up
as an adjunct. This consists, first of
all, and as every one knows, in the care
and restoration of wounded
1t has been estimated by the German
General Staff that every army surgeon
saves the lives of fifty soldiers and
that every Red Cross nurse saves the
lives of thirty-hve men who would
otherwise die, or, at least, be lost to
the army.
For both military and civil relief, in
all countries, not including the United
States, was spent last year:
