This party called at the Y.M.C.A. and
was referred by them to The Chamber
OF Commerce. Here he was treated in
a courteous manner in every respect,
but was informed that we had been
having many war talks of late and
the fact that his coming was unan-
nounced. would make it difficult to
make any suitable arrangements on
such short notice and we hardly knew
what would be the best way to handle
the situation. This party made it very
plain that he was one of the greatest
war speakers ip this country BUT il
appeared that he was out for PER

He offered to donate the proceeds of
his talk to the Red Cross AFTER HIS
EXPENSES WERE PAID. Expenses
in such cases leave nothing for the
Red Cross. A good deal on the same
order as WALL ScALERS and others
we know of.

were regular German crosses Just like
the nes you see on German plane

You want TO look at Doug's coliec-

one end of the ring and made them
real small. There are now seven OF
them in the ring. but they stretch
barely quarter of the way across the

showing his confidence in getting
