RED CROSS CANTEENS;
JUST WHAT THEY ARE
American Woman Tells Wvidly of
Her Canteen-The GayeSt,
Brightest Little Room
One Ever Saw.
NEVER so PROUD OF
ANYTHING In RL.LrHER LIFE

Just what a Red Cross canteen is,
how it is Outfitted, and the hundred
problems the American women have
to meet in feeding the French, Eng
lish and American soldiers is we'll
shown in this letter from an American
Red Cross worker:
We have really a wonderful place.
1t was given to us so rough and plain
and ugly l had coat of plaster put
on the walls, painted a bright blue
wainScot three feet high with stem
Gil of flowers of red, white and blue
above, white walls and ceiling, doors
and windows outlined with light green,
and stencils of bright colors between
the windows of trumpets, and over
the five doors delicious little paintings
by Miss Kirkpatrick and Miss Beckett
of soldiers and canteeners in the most
clever and attractive way.
Brightest Little Room.
At the end of the room we nave two
girls, one American and one French,
holding French and American flags.
We have red and white oilcloth on the
tables, red glass carafes and red tur-
key window curtains, and always flow
iers on the counters. 1t is the gayest,
brightest little room you ever saw.
However, it only holds about 12O men
seated at the tables and 1t is to be
used as a recreation room and even
movies Our big room is to have
huge kitchen and seats for LOCO men
or over, and will open right on to the
platform. 1t is to be decorated by an
artist from the Beaux Art, as Miss
Beckett has gone and Miss Kirkpat-
rick is too busy.
1t will really be a splendid big place
and we can work in comfort instead
Eof being put in straits as we are now
in to feed so many men with only six
gas burners in a long row. We make
the coffee, soup, cocoa, and ragout or
sometimes regular Irish stew on our
stoves and the roasts are cooked for
us gratuitously at the bakers. All
food except coffee, meat, cocoa and
sugar is cheap down here. 1t is the
garden district of France. All the men
are so pleased and grateful and we
get such post cards and thanks We
have stewed apples, stewed dates and
figs for deserts and tell you 1t keeps
us hopping to keep things going,
Sometimes we run out of meat and
then we fry eggs for them and they
love them. The dormitories are Won
derful. never was so proud of any,
thing before. Two Hundred canvas
stretchers for beds. We never used
them before, but we can keep them
clean and put them outside If there
is any vermin.
Model of Cleanliness.
We have splendid fumigating plant
and an incinerator, and the place is
model of cleanliness. All the men
take off their wet and dirty boots. We
have good felt slippers for them, two
wooden blankets for each bed, two big
istoyes and an orderly that wakes
them for their trains, good shower
baths and wash rooms and altogether,
when the big room is finished, 1t Will
be a model of everything 1T should be,
iparticularly as our last touch is a bar
her. Last year the men slept In the
road. We have adopted the Auberge
,ssbots as the only sensible footwear
as the roads and our floors are always
wet.

Robert Nc Graw Enlists in Navy

Robert L. McGraw, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. McGraw, Soperton, enlisted
in the navy ,at~the recruiting station in
Milwaukee on Monday after he had
successfully passed the examination
Mr.. McGraw was accepted in the
navy radio service and will get his pre-
liminary training at the station at
Great Lakes, ILL.,, after which he will
have an opportunity to attend the spec
ial radio school which the navy has es-
tablished at Harvard university.
Mr.. McGraw was delighted at getting
into the naval service. Recruiting of
fcers expect that many young men

tunity at getting into the navy, as all

who want to enlist in the naval reserve.
Those who are interested in joining
the navy should write to Lieut. George

RED CROSS NOTES.

NIL ANOCO lSO LAD.
Do you realize what the Red Cross
means?
Do you know what the Red Cross
means?
The man overseas knows what it
means 1t is up to you to realize what
it means.
| Itmeans everything VERIFYING
The stay at home citizen-American
can only partially realize what it
means. He gives his money-its the
most he can debut he cannot know,
until the boys from the front come
back, what that money has accomplish
ed
And perhaps, when he does know, he
will be ashamed that he did not give
more. Perhaps, when his own boy, or
the son of his friend next door, is
sibly blind, perhaps then he will know
what the Red Cross does Perhaps.
Perhaps his son or the boy next door
will never come back Perhaps he will
hear from a Red Cross nurse or doctor,
of the last moments of his only son, or
the boy next door. Perhaps he feels
that possibly his boy, or the boy next
door will not be injured and so he need
not subscribe to the Red Cross war
fund But he is mistaken-the Red
Cross subscription list, to keep the
J boys in health, is as important as any
war fund that is to keep them in food
and ammunition.
It is when the boys are stricken down
that they need help the most He can
go without food for many hours, he can
hike until he is footsore and weary,
and he can fight as long as God gives
him breath and strength-but when he
has fallen in battle, when he has sue
cumbed to wounds, or perhaps disease
he cannot survive without care-and
it must be the very best of care.
This the Red Cross gives. We who
are left at home, do not realize what
valiant soldiers the Red Cross doctors
and nurses are. We do not realize, as
we go to our comfortable beds at night
and sit down to three meals day, that
many of the doctors and nurses Of the
Red Cross work SO many hours that
they have only few 'catch maps" for
three or four days at time, and that
their meals are 'when we can get
them"
The doctors and nurses are only one
others, among them the ''front" of bat
tie, where they await the wounded
boys who are carried out from the
front on stretchers.
Perhaps your boy is one of these
perhaps some day you will bless the
Red Cross and thank God that you did
your part when you had chance-to
help your own boy.
If you have no boy to give to Uncle
Sam-if you have no other relative who
is fighting for you and your county
then your share is northumberland
more It is more than that. You must
give until you feel it-feel that you
have given every cent you possibly can
and then feel that you have rot done
enough.
You will be given chance to show
your patriotic spirit and your love of
country and gratitude to the boys over
seas, during the week of May 20 to 81
any day during that time you may be
solicited by a Red Cross worker to con-
tribute to the big fund being raised
for the Red Gross. Don't be a member
of the Strikers army. Give all you
can afford-and then add to it.
Our boys need it!
