for July and August General
Crowder pointed out that only 100,-
600 Of the 1918 registrants would
be left on September l for subse-
quent calls.
The second and more difficult
question" General CrOwder's state
ment added, is how we can supply
on time the 10000 men required
for each of the succeeding months
of October, November and Decem-
her. The British-Canadian treaty
would help out TO the extent-it is
estimated of about $4,000 men,
which is not even the conventional
drop in the bucket
If we could assume that the
law would be enacted in the re
naming days of August we would
have a basis of calculating the re
suits to be obtained under it. As
is stated TO the senate military
committee a minimum period OF 80
davs is necessary to enroll ana
classify all the men registered in
the additional classes suggested
We cannot therefore wait Tor the
completion of class one, but must
take men irrespective OF their or
der number as fast as they md
their way into class one.
PERHAPS we could receive as
surances that the legislation could
be enacted in the house in the
period following its reconvening so
that it would be taken up prompt
lv BY the senate on Aug. 26 ana
Dassed there. This would enable
us to contemplate Sept as ma

Aleviates Misery.

tricts, including care of five thousand
families and sufficient reconstruction
to make houses habitable, required
over two millions.
Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scale-a
world of it. The item for relief of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
ceives and distributes more than two
hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and its other
work it requires a big transportation
service of motors and trucks. This
transportation service has cost mil
lion and a half, and its operating ex-
penses run to a million dollars.
Every dollar it spends means misery
alleviated. It's work is building abroad
for the United States the best good will
in this world. 1t is building the best
good will among ourselves. Whatever
else the war may produce, we shall be
proud of our Red Cross.

Last summer the public subscribed
a hundred million dollars to the Red
Cross. At the latest statement over
eighty-fve millions of it had been APP
propriated.
Where has it gone? you ask. For
many months the world has been
spending over a hundred million dol
lars a day for the destruction of life,

up what you have read about the wars

enormous job is to do whatever 1t can
to alleviate that-nOt after the war,
not after governments have deliber-
ated and resolved but right now, at
the minute, on the spot. It's amazing
that it has done so much with so little
money.
Last autumn the Italian army fell
back precipitately. On your war map
that meant rubbing out one line and
drawing another half an inch further
south. over there in Italy it meant
thousands of poor families fleeing from
their homes. Major Murphy, Red
Cross Commissioner in Europe, rushed
to the scene and wired: "Indescribably
pathetic conditions exist, involving
separation of mothers and children
cold, hunger, disease, death" In No
vember and December the American
Red Cross appropriated three million
dollars for relief there-a large sum

"Y.. MAN TO SPEAK HERE
FRIDAY EVENING.

C. E. Wolcott of Sioux City, who was
to give his address in Manchester
three weeks ago, wii1sba here and de-
liver the address at the court house on
Friday evening. at 8 o'clock. Mr.. VOL
colt has been working in the state Of
Iowa, interesting men in Y. NJ. G. A.
work among the soldiers in France.
A few weeks ago he addressed
meeting Of County Chairmen and men
interested in "Y'' work, from eastern
Iowa, and gave at that time one of the
finest addresses ever heard in that
city. Mr.. Wolcott is not out in the in
terest of raising funds for the work,
but to enlist men in this line of work.
He spoke of the great work that the
Y. M. C. A. is doing for the boys in
France.
Mr.. Wolcott will be in Manchester
in time to be a guest at dinner which
will be given in the Keckler cafe at
$3.50 on Friday evening, and will give
a short talk to the men Of the CONNER
cial club and others who are interest
ed in the work he represents. J. n.
Spencer, district chairman, and the
secretary of the Dubuque Y. M. c. A.
will also be present at the meeting
and give short talks, at the dinner.
Every man in Manchester and vi
cinity, and every township chairman
should hear Mr.. Wolcott on Friday
evening of this week. Remember the
self-sustaining dinner will be given at
the Keckler cafe promptly at $50.
This will be followed by short talks,
and then the big meeting for men in
the court room at eight.

YOUNG WOMEN ENLIST.
Call Comes Again and is more Impera'
tive Than Ever.

In July a call was issued to the
young women of America to enlist In
the United States Nurse Reserve. At
that time Iowa was asked to furnish
1850 young women volunteers. Those
of Delaware county who responded to
that call and offered themselves for
this splendid service were Miss Clara
E. Gestel and Miss Anna Zeuch Of
Hopkinton; Miss Bancroft of Delhi;
Miss Cecilia Kehoe of Ryan, and Miss
es Elma Dutton, Lille Dutton, Lenora
Kenyon and Dora Sheppard, all OF
Manchester.
The American Red Cross now asks
for $4,000 more nurses for army ser
vice. Unless the young women OF our
land step forward to take the places
of those who are prepared to go they
cannot be released and our forces
"over there" must suffer accordingly.
The present epidemic has brought
home to all of us with heart-rendering
force the need in every community or
more women who are skilled in caring
for the sick.
With one accord, from the Surgeon
General to the local physician, we are
told there is nowhere a more splendid
opportunity for service and profess
sional training than there is right
now for those young women who hear
and answer this call of their country.
The recruiting of these nurses is in
charge of the Woman's Committee of
the Council of Defense. Miss Marga-
ret Lindsey is recruiting officer for
Delaware county.
Every young woman who is physic-
ally fit and not held by a greater
duty should consider this personal,
imperative call and go at once to the
recruiting station in the Public Libra
ry, where she will be furnished with
detailed information and the necessary
blanks for enlistment.

FOR OLD FRIENDSHIPS SAKE.

The following item, taken from the
Des Moines Register of Friday, Novem-
ber 1st, will be read with much inter-
est by the people of Manchester, mas
much as it relates to the activities OF
one of Manchester's pioneer ministers,
and the activities of the Captain J. F.
Merry.
CEDAR FALLS, Ia, Oct. 81
Special: Probably no other preacher
in Iowa can surpass the record of the
Rev. F. X! Miller, 81 years old, of this
city, who has been giving active SER
vice in the Upper Iowa conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church for
more than sixty-one years and is
still going out from here to various
charges to preach from time to time.
"This became known today when
the Reverend Miller, who never used
cane in his life appeared upon the
streets twirling gold handled ebony
stick. It developed that the cane was
historic one and had been presented
at the recent Methodist conference
meeting at Clinton, Ia, to the Rever-
end Miller as the minister having the
longest record for efficient service in
the conference.
"But the canes history adds to it's
value in the Reverend Miller's estim-
alton, for it was once the property of
the late Capt. ]. F. Merry of Manches-
ter, Iowa, an official of the Illinois
Central railroad back in the eighties.
Engraved upon the gold handle Of the
cane is the fact that it was presented
to him in 1887 by the people Of Jack
son, Miss, who rendered him great
ovation at that time in appreciation
Of the great benefit their part of the
country received by reason of the rail-
road Merry directed.
"Mrs. Merry turned this cane over to
the Methodist conference for bestowal
upon the minister who had given the
longest efficient service. And in go
ing to the Reverend Miller the cane
was bestowed upon one Of Captain
Merrys early and long time friends.
Back in 1857 when the Reverend Mil
ler preached his first sermon in his
first church in Manchester young j. F.
Merry attended, heading big dele
CATION of young folks from the coun-
try side, and Merry helped in the sing
ing that night. Later he became the
Reverend Miller's choir leader and the
friendship thus begun lasted through
out the rest of Merry's lifetime.
"'Some people want to take the
earth with them when they die re-
marked the Reverend Miller, But
don't want to leave the earth just yet
The world has treated me so we'll ia
rather be here for the next ten years
than in heaven-I want to see how
things come out he added"

MRS, P. G. INGERSOL.

A death which has called forth ex-
pressions of profound sympathy for
the family is that Of Mrs. Daisy M.
Dunham Ingersol, occurring at he1
home at Dunlap, Iowa, November 4th,
1918, following a siege Of Spanish in
fluenza. According to word receiv-
ed here by relatives Mrs. Ingersol
had recovered sufficiently from the
influenza to be up and about her home
when heart complications developed
which caused her death.
Daisy M. Dunham was born in Man.
chester September 29th, 1888, and
grew to womanhood here, where she
was united in marriage with Mr.. P. G.
Ingersol, on December 9th, 1905. She
was the youngest daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Dunham, pioneer
residents of Manchester.
Mrs. Ingersol leaves surviving her
the husband, three small children
Donald, Margaret and Ruth, one broth
er, Attorney Ralph Dunham of Clark,
South Dakota; two sisters, Miss Edith
Dunham and Mrs. Elva Parson, Of
Watertown, South Dakota.
Funeral services will be held at the
family home at Dunlap, Iowa, Thurs
day afternoon, and interment will be
made there.
The news of the death of this charm
ing young wife and mother brings the
greatest sorrow to the family. Mr..
Ingersol and all those attached to Mrs.
Ingersol by tender family ties, have
the profound sympathy in this hour of
affliction.
