Several Auxiliaries to Hold
Important Meetings
Tonight

This afternoon with simple but ap-
propriate ceremonies the members Of
| the Comfort club of the 102nd Ambu-
lance Corps, at their meeting at the
First Presbyterian church, dedicated
| new service flag which contained
172 stars. There was a very large
proportion of the members present
ard many were greatly affected by
the ceremony. OF the stars five are
for officers and two are gold stars.
The gold stars signify that the lads
they represent have given up their
lives for the great cause for which
they entered the service of their
| country.
Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr., pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, is
to offer the dedicatory prayer and will
also make a very short address. After
| these ceremonies are completed the
members are to have the plasure of
hearing a talk by Sergeant Thomas
Reilly of the 102nd Machine Gun
| company. Sergeant Reilly has just
returned from several months service
in the trenches with Gen. PerShing's
| forces and brings to his audience a first
| hand picture of conditions at the
front that is most graphically drawn.
Members of the Comfortc hub who
are to march in the big parade to-
morrow in a body are to carry with
them very proudly the new service
| flag. 1t is one of which they may
well feel proud. The boys of the
Ambulance Corps aren ow in the
front line trenches and they are more
than appreciative of the work the
members of the Comfort club are do
ing in their behalf.
All members of St. Augustine's aux
iliary of the Red Cross who are to
march in the parade tomorrow are
asked by Mrs. W. H Beirne, an Off
Ger of the auxiliary to be at the
rooms between 1 and 1880 o'clock to-
morrow and positively not later than
1880 o'clock. 1t is most desirable
that the members of the auxiliary do
this so that all places and the march,
ing order may be determined.
ST. Patrick's auxiliary has called a
very important meeting for tonight
at 1880 o'clock in the church parlors
All members are asked to attend this
meeting as final arrangements are to
be made for the Red Cross parade.
| A large audience was greatly de-
lighted last evening at the Washingto
Park M E. church with the program

ed a big success. The quartet was
assisted by Miss Ethel Hinton Of
Boston. The chairman Of the com
mittee Of arrangements was w. s
