FIELD DIRECTOR RIPLEY |
PROVES A HANDY NAN

Field Director Ripley of the Amega

When he wants anything done he

just does 1t himself.
Several days ago he tackled the jon
of making personally $4,000 special
hooks for the base hospital nurses
who wished to use them for fastening
the cloth screens that surround each
patients bed in the hospital.
These screens have been used for
some time and the framework ia
there, but the nurses have been trou%
bled with a lack of means OF holding
the cloth fast. The hooks were needed
and Mr.. Ripley was called in.
II can do the JOB myself" he saida
and in a very short time he had ore
dered the wire, cut the necessary
lengths and made the bend at each
end, which made the hook. He got the
tools with which to work and within
a shorter time than 1t takes to tell
1t, had the job well on the way.
1t was estimated that Mr.. Ripley
was cutting the hooks at the rate Of
forty per minute.
He installed hot-water system I'm

Red Cross that would have stumped
an ordinary man. He had a kitchen
partly equipped for the purpose and
with a few changes had the matter

Incidentally, his company wrote

The SD Infantry showed the most
pep" of any organization in Meade
in connection with the peace" talk
of Thursday afternoon. when extras
were brought to camp saying that
the war was over. There was gen.
eral gloom in the regiment. while the
rest of the camp was celebrating
wildly.
Friday morning turned the tables,
however, when the Associated Press
announced that the armistice had not
been signed. The band, under Lieut..
Walters, marched out to the dirt road
and the boys began to sing. The reg
mental marching songs were given
with much enthusiasm. Tin cans were
beaten and the boys nearly had CON
niption flts,' as the negroes used to
say, at the thought of having a
chance to fight.
Then all the gloom settled over the
regiment again Monday morning,
when the real news of peace came in.
But the boys thought of the show
which BILLY" Rochester will put on
for them at the Liberty tonight and
Friday and all were happy again.
Lester Muller of the Baltimore
American, one of the best friends the
soldiers have, offered Capt. Van Der
Hon of Gen. Carters staff Is cents
for his overseas uniform the day that
the armistice was signed. The cap
tain admitted that he would probably
have to be looking for a job very
coon.
NThe "Y" auditorium was packed
Monday night and the boys were just
about to tear down the building when
they stopped showing the pictures of
the national heroes. Secretary Samp-
son thought caution was the better
part of valor
Things were started with a rush in
all the "Y" buildings after more. than
six weeks of idleness. Soldiers were
getting to the point where they de-
manded entertainment. They got it
all right in good measure.
Joe Lorraine, just back from the
front, where he was so badly gassed
that he suffered facial paralysis was
up at G hut Monday night. He brought
along his little banjo and jingling
bells that he carried on the western
front. Not the least interesting part
of his show was the helmet of a
boche and several other trophies
which he picked up on the battle
fields
While the Americans were magni1-
cent, said Joe. he declared the English
and French were also superb and had
done such wonderful work long before
the United States got into the fight
Joe" Lorraine was hailed with de-
light all along the western front, be-
cause so many thousands of soldiers
had seen him in the states before they
went across the seas. He had to come
back against his will. but as soon as
his health permits will be back on the
scene of victory.
= He is a cripple, but his spirit Of
Christlike service is so fine that the
''Y" picked him for duty "over there.
And he made good from start to finish.
The Hostess House was opened
again last week, with Mrs. Seymour
in charge. She has had fine training
as a hostess, and the atmosphere of
the house is beyond criticism. Boys
who go there are given a cordial re-
certion, and they are allowed to make
themselves at home.

MESSAGE TO SOLDIERS
Cardinal Gibbons Gives Address at
Memorial Mass in La
fayette Field.

Memorial exercises for the epidemic
victims were held at the open-air
stand in Lafayette Field Sunday
morning by the Roman Catholic chap
lains in Meade, the principal address
being made by Cardinal Gibbons.
1t was, incidentally, the dedication
of the stand and the sounding board,
which were built out of Y. NJ. c. A.
funds upon the plans Of Maj. Whit
man and Lieut.. Whitman Of the
utilities detachment. The acoustic
properties of the board were given an
excellent test and measured up Won
derfully to expectations. The car
dinars remarks could be heard more
than a hundred yards away from the
stand.
"Act of Homage to God"
ut is we'll for you. my sons" said
his eminence, "to remember that you
must obey the constituted authori-
ties. 1t is the only way by whlcn
peace and order can be preserved.
And by so doing you will not be pay
ing an act of servility to man, but
an act of homage to God. the author
tiles being appointed by the divine
will"
Cardinal Gibbons, who is eighty
four years old and the only cardinal
in the United States, except Cardlnal
OConnell of Boston, spoke with fine
effect and impressed upon the sol
diers his desire that they should gain
control of their passions and thus at
tain that degree of happiness when
comes of a knowledge of life Well
livedA
His red robes and biretta made him
a striking figure on the stand. An al
tar was erected and back of this was
a large American flag. The seminar
ians from ST. Mary's School, in Baiti-
more, served as a choir, the mass be-
ing especially beautiful.
Let America Suggest.
Officers who heard the cardinals
remarks were very pleased that he
had given expression sto the thought
of firm adherence to the commands of
the constituted authorities. In these
times, when anarchy is gripping Rus
STA, Austria and Germany, it is re-
commendable that Americans abide
by the decisions of their President
and those who are intrusted to lead
both in military and civil life.
I'VE stand as the bulwark of the
world" said one high officer, conf
marking the path for democratic ma
tions to follow. Autocracy is failing
to hold it's people in check and the
free nations are expected to prove
that they believe firmly in the wis
dom of leaving government in the
hands of those who have been elected
to administer the law.
when we elect man to office we
abide by the result of the election,
regardless of the bitterness. of the
campaign which brings it about This
is the thing in our system which
makes Europe marvel and which
serves to inspire it's people to follow
our example"
