RED CROSS PLANS
XMAS CELEBRATION
In Every Hospital and Conval-
escent Home of This Division.

I There is to be a very real Christ
mas celebration in every hospital and
lconvalescent and nurses home in the
camps and cantonments throughout
the three states that constitute the
Potomac Division of the American
Red Cross, under the general direc-
tion of Divisional Headquarters, at
Washington.
Each hospital and home will be
decorated with Christmas greens in
keeping with the season. there will
be one very large tree for the hospi-
tai. and in each of the wards there
will be a smaller one-all of which
will be trimmed with the gay tinsel
and bright balls that transform fir
trees into Christmas trees--and will
be illuminated with many-colored,
tiny electric lights. Some of the
hospitals have miles of wards to be
decorated. AT the Walter Reed Hos.
pital there are 36 separate wards; !
and at st. ElZabeth's, there are over
fifty. Where it is any way possible
the soldiers will attend the main
tree, but each ward will have It's own
individual celebration for the men
who must remain in bed
In addition to the Christmas tree,
special entertainments are being
planned for the c0nvalescent homes,
with mlsic, big wood fires, plenty
of candy, nuts, raisins and fruits Ev-
erything possible will be done to
make the boys happy. Canes and
walking sticks are to be provided for
the wounded soldiers from overseas.
The Red Cross is working heart
and soul to make this Christmas one
long to be remembered by the sold
iers, sailors and nurses in the
camps; and to bring the Christmas
spirit and the home feeling" into
every hospital.

The Haskard Address

Captain Haskard OF the British
army appeared In Meeker last Satur-
day evening as per announcement,
and delivered an interesting address
to crowded house at Rooney hall.
The captain is not a public speaker,
as he stated. His voice ia not strong
enough to be heard at any great dis
lance from the platform, but all who
could hear him got . lot Of valuable
Information on the Great War from
one who had been In the thick OF it
for three years. He lost one eye, and
his left cheek was shot away, and
was otherwise so badly used up that
he is permanently out Of the war.
However, he is able to get around
and is doing good service In telling of
his experience (Which he does In a
very modest way--like all regular
army men--both American and Brit
ish. He enlightened his audience on
many things that was news to them.
He urged his hearers to not relax on
their efforts to help win the war. He
spoke m high terms Of praise Of the
American boys he had seen on the
French front.
Attorney John r. Clark and Mr..
Drake Watson spoke on the approach
ing W. s. 8. campaign, and urged all
to. take hold and do their duty.
