THEY BARELY
ESCAPED

rom the HlttSVllIe hecOfd:-
The visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. J.
Crowley TO Pittsville revealed a cir
cumstance which for the bare luck of
it might have caused the big bomb
outrage at Milwaukee some time
since to weigh heavily on Pittsville
relatives.
The terrible bomb explosion at po-
lice headquarters at Milwaukee will
be remembered by Record readers as
having killed eight police and detec-
tive officers of the Milwaukee force
while they were collected in the as
sembly room Of the police station ex-
aiming a bomb which was supposed
to have been what is termed dead"
1t exploded with disastrous results
to human life and public property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crowley and Coole
Cotey had passed directly in front of
the station but four minutes ahead
Of the explosion. Had they been in
front of the building at the time the
conclusion from inside would have
likely blown their ehads off, as the
shock was terrific clear across the
street. Mr.. Crowley tells of a piece
of steel grill work taht was blown
through the front of the building and
embedded in a brick wall across the
street.

Young ladies in the stores find time
for picture shows SO do their other
sisters Of whatever walk, in life and to
all these I ask that you give Us at least
one evening of each week for work in
the Red Cross.
Not a woman in Grand Rapids young
or old no matter what your time is
occupied with but that if you once
really knew how terrible this war is
and how necessary all the things we
make in the Red Cross is would have
to be invited to this work.
You cant realize-no one can so far
away from it all but it is none the less
the most important demand on your
efforts of anything that was ever laid
upon the human race.
1t is not necessary that you wear a
clouded face and clothe yourself in
mourning and never smile till this war
is over nor is it good for anyone to
drop the social side of life, for this
is as necessary for the good Of the
work as seriousness, but it is demand
ed of you even though you do not feel
it and have not come to a realization
Of it that you do take from some Of
the frivolities Of your every day life
and give it to q serious and most need
ed cause.
You must have read the many ac-
pie who have never seen the French
counts Of suffering written not by peo-
battlefeIds but by honest serious mind
ed men and women who have given not
their two or three hours a week but
their twenty hours a day and some
days more in helping save those who
themselves are giving not only their
hours but their lives
You can't read these accounts and
not feel your conscience say to you,
this is my work. MUST HELP.
Have you read in January number
of Good Housekeeping" ''The Glory
of the Trenches" by Coningsby Daw-
son? He is a Lieutenant who went
in the battle Of the Somme and wound
ed at Vimy, was sent to the base has
pital and then later to build up, sent

the elevator and knocked unconscious.
When found he had bad wound on his
head, where the elevator had struck
him. His wound was dressed and car
ed for by DR.. Waters and later he was
brought to his home in this city where
he was made as comfortable as pos
sible. When he came to a normal con
dition, Tuesday morning, he felt very
sore and his back was lame and in ev-
cry way uncomfortable Just how
the accident happened he could not
explain. 1t was a close call for Louis
and his friends are glad to know that
If nothing more serious developes he
will come out all right in few days.

/ Other writers stir you the same way
and after reading Enu-p possibly sit
complacently at home or in the. show
and let only few of the women of
Grand Rapids try to get under this
load and do it alone
If you can't work at the rooms we
have plenty Of work you may do at
home Knitting we are not putting
out at present but may later in the
spring but that should not stop you
from offering to take some of the 9TH
er work that is at this time more need
ed than knitted garments.
Hospital supplies for the injured
and convalescent is just now needed in
greater quantities than ever dreamed
of being necessary and there is no let
up in this insistent demand.
Don't stay at home or continue to
idle your spare time in other ways but
back up those at the front, help make
it easy for some soldier boy to see that
same vision that Dawson carries in
his mind which I quote, 1.-TWO faces
loom out in memory; one, the surgeons
I think of him as a Christ in khaki.
The other face is Of a girl. 'She's iv-
ory-white with over-service and spends
all her days in loving. Her eyes are
weary. Only her lips hold a touch of
color; they have a childish trick Of
trembling when any ones wound is
hurting too much"
Can't you see all the rest, how aw-
fully necessary what we are doing
here is to the work of such as he de-
scribed?
Come to Red Cross Rooms at Elks'
Building and indicate what you will
do and when best suited and if neces-
sary we will add more rooms and more
hours to those already set aside.

WOMEN, Of
GRANDRApI[)S
CAN'T YOU
HEARTHECALL?

Work for the Red Cross by the la
dies in Grand Rapids the past six
months has been very fine when we
consider that it not only was volun-
tary but we who are so far removed
from the seat of things making for
war must be enthused by an almost
physical process.
Our reading helps to spur US on and
contact with others who get a slight
glimpse of the vision ahead all helps.
But we have now come to point
in the road where something more Of
a realization of the necessity Of great
err work is absolutely demanded Of
US.
The women Of Grand Rapids are
asked to set aside not less than three
hours of each week for work in the
Red Cross, If you can't come in the
afternoon then we will make it so that
you may come in the evening
If the lady of the house will get in
to the proper spirit of the great work
her maids will follow suit and both
should stop and consider what this
all means.
1t is not only a mans war to save
for all of us the good things that have
come to this country, but as it is saw
ing the best of things for all the peo-
pie Of this land it is saving them also
for the women as well.
Then the women should realize that
they also owe something to the boys
who are fighting for them

were based on other consider
ations than the natural rules
that should govern and are GO
ing to govern such affairs in
the future.
The day is coming when
freight rates are going to be adj
justed chiefly on a basis of the
cost of service. 1t is the equit-
able way and as we go farther
and farther upon the road to
governmental regulation, man
agement or ownership we will
get closer and closer to the time
when rates will be made in ac-
cordance with natural econom-
ic conditions-not for reasons
of eXpediency or favoritism.
When that new day arrives
the inland country is going to
be the chief gamer just as the
inland country is now the loser
by the conditions that exist.
There are reasons that make
this an opportune time to act
and therefore an inland ship
pers league is being formed
with a view to protecting the
interests of this region. 1t is
neither an anti-railroad nor q
pro-railroad move. AS the pur.
poses in view are made clear
the move will be generally en-.
dorsed. The subject is one
with various angles and some
complications. 1t will require
considerable study. But it is a
subject worth studying. 1t is a
matter of particular interest to
producers and to the consum,
ing public. They pay the
freight.
If the shippers league acts
intelligently and consistently ii
will be in line to do some good
for this region.

people of the United States turned to-
ward something more than the mere
winning Of this war. It turned TO the
establishment OF eternal principles
and right and justice. II realized that
merely 20 win the war was not enough;
that Il must he won i'm such way and
the questions raised ny IL settled in
such way as to insure the future
peace of the world and hay the foun-

In other words the PreSi-

of Intelligent people every
where, is that the victory
should be made permanent.
The wars results should in
clude not merely the defeat of
Germany but the thwarting of
any future attempts at auto
cratic domination of the world ;
any future efforts by anys mas

others. We desire an era of
permanent peace made secure
by the combined efforts of ma
tions pledged to enforce JUS
tice and to abide by rule of
Justice.
The goal will, at the very
best, be difficult of attainment
/ But it is worth striving for. If
the end cannot be gained in its
entirety at present at least all
possible progress in that direc.
ton should be made. The
world owes this to the millions
of men who have sacrificed
their lives in this struggle, tC
the many millions who return
home manned and to all who
have had part in the sacrifice
required to keep civilization
from being degraded and en-
lslaved.
