RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross work rooms all over
the land are turning out thousands and
thousands of articles to be used by the
men at the front. The work isn't
done spasmodically; it is an everyday
. business. The Red Cross of Browns
vile has its regular hours for work,
just the same as any factory in the
land.
We have just received the allotment
for this next month We are asked for
twice the number of surgical dressings
that was asked and sent in from us
last month
We are to begin making two new
hospital garments also, hospital
shirts and drawers.
We are sent list of needed gar
ments from which we may make what
we choose, That list is narrowing
down. Some r We once made are
no longer required from Is: Bot we
are urged make nore4-as many
more as we can Of those now on the
list. Who doubts they viii all be
needed? We urge again that all wo-
men who can, help US.
We have ordered our yarn for socks
and sweaters. We are asked to con-
tinue our knitting through the summer
to be getting ready for the fall and
winter need.
We are glad to learn that the club
of young married women in Browns.
vile which has changed its name to
'The Sammie Helpers" has decided
that on the day formerly given to So
sial, they will come to our rooms in a
body and work.
We have plans now to organize the
children of the county in the Junior
Red Cross work, in such way that
work may be continued during the va
cation. The dues will be rs cents a
year, although large payment will be
gladly received. All money paId in
this way will be used to buy materials
for the local work.
It's going to take "hands all round"
ladies', and we are hoping that as soon
as the schools areout, many more moth
ers are going to be able to make ar
rangements to be in our work room at
least one day each week. Come on!
Entertainment for Red Cross-Mrs.
Bate Bond, chairman of entertainment
committee, wishes to announce that
Mr.. and Mrs Medicus, who are such
well known musicians, will give ben
eft concert for the Red Cross some
time about the first week in May. Ar
rangement and practice work are now
going on, and further announcement
will be made soon. That the concert
will be treat is a foregone conclu-
sion.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS
GROWING

Subscribers to the Third Liberty
Loan are coming in daily and the com
mittees throughout the country are
busily engaged in the work. The gov
ernment has asked for 1,943 subscri-
bers in Haywood and there is no rea-
son why this number should not be
reached. If every man will just do
his duty, there will be no trouble in
reaching the goal. Haywood will do
her part to be sure, but no man should
allow another to take his place on the
firing line.
II you are not financially able to
make a large subscription, just make
small one. You are not being asked to
and ought to do. Be one Of the 1,943
90 more than you ought to do, but
you are asked to do what you can do
and ought to d. Be ne of the 1,94S
subscribers.

Amiens.
''It does not matter SO much where
our men are fighting as how they are
fighting" said military official of
great responsibility today. With un-
disguised pride he added:
The reports show the battalion of
American railway engineers with the
Canadians stood and fought the Ger
mans at the beginning of this battle
until their guns became so hot they
were useless. The incident supplies
an accurate reflection of the spirit,
pluck and determination prevailing
with all United States troops"
The casualty list for the day gave
| testimony to the bravery with which
+ American commanders are leading
their men. Thirteen lieutenants were
mentioned among the wounded. A
summary of the report shows that five
men were killed in action, three died of
wounds, II died Of diseases, seven died
from accidents, 10 severely wounded,
245 wounded slightly and two missing
in action.
The speed with which the influence
Of the American army will be felt be-
comes apparent through know de-
tails Of the overseas program adopt
ed in February. This plan, of course
| has been very greatly expanded u

examination Monday. On Monday the
trial was continued to Tuesday morn

On Tuesday morning, after hearing
all the evidence presented against Ag-

that he did not think the evidence suf-
feient to warrant holding Agnew
longer, but that he had undoubtedly
been guilty of rash and unpatriotic
utterances. The esquire attributed
these utterances more to ignorance and
a disposition to "talk too much" than
