a large and rapidly increasing Polish and
Lithuanian population. The AmeriCaniza-
ton OF these two groups Is conducted
through the following activities of the
Neighborhood House. Classes in English
Polish women's and girls clubs and a
Polish-American club of men and women,
meeting on Sunday evenings, at which il
lustrated lectures on American life and his
tory are given. The president Of this club
represents the Poles of South Philadelphia
on the general Liberty Loan committee
And, by the way. did you know that Poles
of Philadelphia contributed more than
100000 to the third Liberty Loan?
No Americanizaton work can be done
which is vital as that accomplished by
the social settlement which touches all

FEHE Women's S. T. c. A. Auxiliary Of
the American Red Star Animal Relief
Is doing very good work Animals Of the
American army are Indispensable TO its
success in warfare and tho American Red
Star has been organized for their protec.
ton.
There are half a million horses and mules
In our army, and the Red Star needs money
If it is to bring relief to animals that
are sick or wounded and thus prevent suf.
ferins and great financial loss to he Gov.
ernment.
The United States troops are dependent
on these animals for the transportation of
food, supplies, guns and ammunition. Mo.
tor service is not sufficient for the work
or the Allies would not have gathered
four million and a half of horses and mules
for field service in the last three years.
Our Allies in France have veterinary hos.
pital every eight miles along the front;
shall the American army have less?
Dogs in the army haul light artillery go
on guard with the sentries on duty and
detect the approach of any enemy before
the sentry. The war dogs search for
wounded soldiers carry messa ges and keep
vermin from the trenches.
The Red Star will provide veterinarians.
ambulances, base hospitals. all veterinary
supplies and the contributions are applied
directly to this service.
