LOST.

Hope for the Cross Rip lightship with,
her civilian crew of six men which was,
torn from her anchorage Feb. 5th by
heavy ice fields virtually is abandoned at
the Naval station at Newport. None of the
vessels assigned to the search by the;
Navy department has reported any trace;
of her and no word had been received
from any of the steamers which had BEEN
asked to look for her. The search will
be continued, however, for few days.
The lightship was small vessel and had
neither wireless nor power. 1t is now
feared that the grinding she was subject
ed to in the ice floes caused her to spring
aleak and founder.

The Red Cross.

The next contingent, including about
100 drafted men, will probably be called
February 23d and will be fitted out be-
fore leaving Their outfit calls for muf-
fers, sweaters, socks, wristlets, helmets
and comfort kits. Home people and
friends are requested to provide the COM
fort kits and mufflers which the society
find more difficult to provide. Each town
will provide for the men they send.
Men may obtain their outfits by calling
at the Red Cross headquarters in the
Saving Bank building on Tuesday, We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons
or by telephoning to Mrs. Ben Hazeltine,
Northport avenue, No. 81 ring II. Men

quarters for their outfits.
Lewis Smith, Field Director of Maine,
was in Belfast Monday and spoke before
the executive committee of the Red
Cross and the workers on surgical dress
ings.
The G. G. class of the Baptist church
have given three dollars from their treas
ury for the Red Cross fnnd.
The past week has been the most social
Belfast has known for at least two years.
The Red Cross parties have been the sub
iect of conversation among all the ladies
and girls who could find time to enter
tain. The committee in charge-Mrs.
Clement w. Wescott and Mrs. Frederick
R. Poor-invited so hostesses and at thier
special request none of the parties or
those entertaining will be given special
mention. The idea of the small party
series originated with Mrs John A. Fogg
and at once became popular as the spirit
of the times forbids social gatherings
There have been single table auction par
ties, others of three and four tables, clubs
have been called together for the first
time for many months, dinner and puzzle
parties have been in order and those not
desiring to entertain have willingly con-
tributed to the fund A spirit of willing
ness and desire to ''do their best have
been apparent with all assisting. The
surprisingly large sum of 1928 08 has been
passed to Miss Isabel CHM, the treasurer.
This does not include the S10O mentioned
