SenSlDle speech anu gave uue ooI-
line of the work of the Red Cross, and
spoke of the war in such terms as to
make any one who had the least
spark of patriotism in his breast feel
that he should do something, and he
was frequently applauded. He said
that the work of the Red Cross might
be summed up in three things and
very briefly stated. First, it was to
relieve suffering. Second, it was to
shorten the war and third, to brlns
a better peace when the war is over.
Lieutenant Patten of Canada was
presented and said he had been three
wears in the war and would try TO
tell something of the trenches anG

showed how the mask was put on
and said he was little out OF prac-

tho pas was coming. He said he had
not been very seriously wounded, thai
he had been shot two Or three times
but that did not amount to much. He
talked very interestingly about tne
actual war and our people gave him
good attention.

Mrs. A. P. Coleman as the mother O

Memorial Services WiU Be Held For Capt. Greene and Other St. Clair County Men

Pell City, October Special All of St. Clair county and especially Pell City is in mourning today over the news of the death in action of Capt. J. Gardner Greene The official no- 'tice of his death to Mrs. Greene stated that he was killed while leading his company into action.
 The scene of his death is supposed to have been the St Mihiel salient. as he was killed September 12.
 Captain Greene organized the Fell City guard in 1915 and went with them to the Mexican border After do- ing duty there he and his company re- turned to Pell City some 104 strcng. Practically all of them were from this town and from adjoining beats Later the company was sent to Camp Sheri- dan at Montgomery and merged into the United States army as Company c, of the 1s7th infantry.
 Company c landed in France early in the fall of 1917 and was put in the trenches on the Foul sector February 16, 1918, and has seen active service ever since, having fought at Toul, in the Champagne, at Chateau Thierry and numerous other places in Franco. It has been known as one of the star companies of the Forty-second or Rainbow division.
 Captain Greene was gassed July 21, 1918 but recovered and returned to, the command of his company the lat ter part of August From letters writ ten to Mrs. Greene, it is gathered that he went into battle again September 12 on the St. Mihiel salient. He was beloved by his command. all of whom had implicit confidence in him and his leadership. He always led and his men were never laggard officered by so brave a captain.
 Mrs. Greene is spending vacation as the honored guest of MT. and Mrs, Sumter Cogswen Of Pell City, but will leave in a few days for valdosta, Ca, to visit Captain Greene's mother. She is greatly shocked over the death of her husband, but is bearing her

And to the unlin1- tied amazement of the huge throng that witnessed the contest, the little man from England, sending powerful right handler to John LIS jaw floored him for the first time in his career.
 John L. was declared the winner of that contest, the police stopping the af- fair in the third round to save Mitchell from further beating and mauling by the infuriated American. But, just the same. the showing of Mitchell against Sullivan gave him worldwide publicity and paced the road that quickly led him to fame and fortune which was one his connection with the boxing sport.

By JAMES
 Charlie Mitchells advent into an Amer ican ring came about through quarrel which John l.. Sullivan had with Billy Madden, who had managed the Bos- tonian into worlds championship"
 Madden and John l.. fell out soon after Sullivan won the championship from Paddy Ryan in 1882. Madden, then wildly anxious to see Sullivan whipped, secured the country for man who might turn the trick. But he found no one. Then he decided to continue his quest in England and sailed for London in the fall of 1882.
 Madden arranged big boxing carnival of the elimination type in England, He promised that the winner would be taken to America and given chance to shear the laurels from John l.. All of Eng lands greatest boxers entered the con- test and the winner was none other than Charlie Mitchell.
 Weighing only 1aS at the time, Mitchell was not reckoned to have chance against his burley rivals. But he out classed every foe he tackled. Each was
  erful But all were weddings before the wonderful Mitchell.
 So Madden brought Mitchell to Amer ica. News of the coming of the Eng fish champion was cabled to the States small army of reporters went down to the bay in revenue cutter and boarded the liner carrying Madden and Mitchell They wanted to see what the English mani sSiller" was like-to speculate on his chances with the mighty John L.
 Madden was stalked by the reporters as he was walking along the deck.
 Where is Mitchell?" they asked.
 .There he is," answered Madden, point ing to slender youngster, garbed in the fastest fashion, nonchalantly leaning over the rail watching the New York shore line. The reporters were amazed
 Why. he isn't much more than a lightweight" exclaimed the reporters
 That's right--but he's the boy that has whipped every heavyweight in Ena land. He's great fighter. If you doubt it. come to see him when he meets John L."
 The reporters dropped over to Mitchell and the closeup of him was even more dsappointing. Mitchell appealed to them more as an English dandy than as a fighter. He was new species to them. most of the fighters they knew were of the rough neck variety: loud voiced, profane and generally nneducated. Yet there, before their very eyes, was a youth, faultlessly garbed, and speaking the language of the ultra-refined, who was the greatest fistic warrior in all England.
 "Do you think you have chance against Sullivan?' was among the ques- tions put to Mitchell.
 ''Of course otherwise I wouldn't have come here to meet him. replied Mitchell. ''But you seem small-very small, one
