 One of the most rousing addresses on the war that Prescott people have listened to was that of Dr. Chas. T. Wheeler of Chicago, one of the coun- try's well known evangelists. Dr. Wheeler was repeatedly cheered as he referred to the stand which the United States and her allies have taken in the struggle and contrasted it with the immoral, murderous. and selfish posi- tion Germany has taken to win vic tory. He very interestingly explained the position of each nation involved in the war, including the central powers. Dr. Wheeler concluded his address with a strong appeal in behalf of the Salvation Army which brought him here. He is touring the states of Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas in interest Of Salvation Army War Fund of which Arkansas has already pledg ed nearly $60,000 and about $200 was pledged last night. Hon. T. c. Me Rae headed the list with $100.

lied all sorts of entertainments and ex-
cursions for men in the service, estab-
lished information booths in the railroad
stations and other public places, pro-
vided song leaders for all sorts of in
dustral workers, maintained restaurants,
hotels and cafeterias for men in uni
form and found employment for wives
of soldiers and sailors. But it's activi-
ties have not stopped with the men in
the service; it has worked also for the
good of the civilian population in the
communities where it has established
it's centres; it has mobilized the resources
of the community, organized church and
club activities, made educational advan-
tages available to all classes of people; it
has restrained profiteering and exerted
every influence to awaken civic con-
science and pride.

A Service That
Works Both Ways

Yet it must not be forgotten that the
Home Communication Service operates
both ways Often it is news from home
that the men themselves, worried and
anxious because of lack of news, seek
through the Red Cross worker. This in
turn is sent direct to the Paris head
quarters, which forward the request to
the local home service or field repre-
sentative in the mans home town to
investigate.
In urgent cases the cables are used
Such was the case of Private Temple
81 wish you'd come and talk to Temple"
said a nurse to the communication
worker one day "He's going out of his
mind, l think. Every night he PAGES the
floor saying, 4 know she is dead I
know she is dead'" From the man
himself the worker learned that his wife
had been very i'll when he left home,

the way of raising the morale not only
of the army and navy but of the workers

gatherings in our churches and our
homes.
Charles Schwab, in a speech made
at Willow Grove not long ago, gave his
opinion of community singing:

right minded citizen in the country.
The idea of building these Liberty
Houses was suggested by the War
Camp Community Service to one of our
leading architects, who was so impressed
with 1t that he put it before the Beaux-
Arts Society of Architects, which imme-
dlately voted to make the design for a
Liberty House" the subject of its
annual competition. The design which
WINS this competition will be used by the
War Camp Community Service as it's of
f1clal design. With this cooperation we
need have no fear of the artistic side of
the enterprise; we may rest assured that
any building which has the sanction of
the Beaux-Arts Society will be an orna-
ment of which any community NAV be
proud.

asking headquarters to cable.
''For ten days l hardly dared step
into the ward where the rugged face
of Temple, slowly gaining color after his
operation, followed me so beseechingIy,"
said the communication worker, "yet at
last the telegram came. I opened it
and flew to the ward. Every man in
the ward seemed to know in flash what
I held in my hand and the room stopped
breathing. l stood by his bed to read:
Mrs. Temple in good health, receiving
$52.65 monthly allotment, living near
father, in comfortable circumstances
The grip he gave me I can feel now
and how I wish every one who helps
make the Red Cross possible could have
heard the throb in his voice as he
thanked me-"

the aim of the Red Cross that these
letters be as intimate as possible, full
of little memories of the man as the
workers and those Of his pals in the
same ward knew him. With the stress
of other duties and when a man has only
been in the hospital few hours, these
are sometimes difficult to obtain. One
searcher recently reported that it was
her task to write home of the death of
one man, badly wounded, who had died
only few hours after admission to the
hospital. And yet, thinking of her let
ter, received far away in America by
his mother, she could not bear to send
it pitiably bare Of details. So, leaving it
unsealed, she went out on her last visit
to the ward for the day. There, by a
lucky chance, she found new arrival,
just in, who knew the soldier.
"Know him? Why, bless your heart,
yes He was our baker and sure one
fine pal. Wouldn't go on sick leave,
cause it worried him to think of not
being there to feed US. Always thinkin'
of the other feller, that was the kind
Of guy he was"
