that day is not yet; 5000 miles of ocean lie

A few of the boys return Immediately;
but hundreds of thousands of them must stav

THE RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP.
Explanation Why the New Membership
Date from Jan. /, 1919.

Editor, Times II has come to the at
tention of the state organization for the
American Red Cross Christmas roll call
that the Red Cross is being criticized
for making all memberships begin with
Jan and end with Dec. 81 of each year.
Heretofore ii has been customary to
take memberships at any time during
the year, During the past year in most
places there have been two or three can
vases to boost the membership and
some are asking why they are being
asked to renew now.
There are at least two good reasons
The Red Cross needs money and needs
IL now; and again the membership has
become 50 enormous, some 22,0O0.000 in
the United States, that bookkeeping
must be simplifed as much as possible.
Having all memberships begin and end
al fixed dates helps the situation. All
who have Joined the Red Cross since
Sept. l. last, have been made members
until Jan. /. 1920. All whose member.
ship expired between Jan 1 1919, and
Sept. j, 1919, are asked to disregard the
small amount they have contributed TO
good cause and renew now The need
is great and the call urgent. When the
real situation is understood very few
will object to contributing the extra Is
or so cents represented by their unex-
pired membership. Had there been no
war and We're there no suffering in Eu-
rope, no doubt the Red Cross would be
willing to make its new. system of book
keeping begin with Jan. |, 1920 instead
Of Jan |, 1919 But there has been q
war, the greatest in history, and her call
for service among the peoples of Europe
is insistent and service must be backed
with money. Let Vermont add to its
laureIs of leadership, by a one hundred
per cent membership in the Red Cross.

cation.

ONLY IS MARINES
TAKEN PRISONERS
This Is Taken to Be "Most Remarkable
Testimony to the Magnificent Nor
rale and Individual Courage
Of the Men"

Washington, d. c., Dec. l6.-The first
complete list of marine corps units serv-
ing with the American army in France
was made public to-day by Major Cen
eral Barnetts commandant of the marine
corps, in his annual report to the secre-
tary of the navy
Following are the marine units in
France: The 9Th, 9th and 18th regi-
ments, the LIST machine gun battalion,
the lst, I'd and Sd replacement battal-
ions, the Sd, 4th, 9Th and 9th, separate
battalions, LIST and I'd casual replacement
battahons, lst separate machine gun
battalion and part of the 18th regiment.
The total up to the date of the report
was $40 officers and II 1923 men.
Besseen April and Sept. |, 1918, the
marine casualties totalled 90 per cent
of Their gross strength. Forty four Of
ficers and l,ll6 enlisted men wcls killed
in acton and 10 officers and 1882 men
were wounded
Only % men are known to be in the
hands of the enemy" General Barnett
said. 1T is considered that this consti-
tutes most remarkable testimonial to
the magnificent morale and individual
courage of the men"
Attention also is called to line re-
nlarkable records made by fresh troops

Despite the great expansion of the
corps and the reduced training period
the marines maintained their record of
craftsmanship, 81 per cent of the entire
organization qualifying as marksmen,
sharpshooters and expert riilemen.
General Barnett recommended that the
permanent peace strength of the corps be
raised to $1,000.
New construction recommended by the
eommandant includes storage facilities
at Philadelphia to cost $450,O00, addi
tional mess halls and quarters at Paris
Island, S. G., 10 cost Sl,65S, 300, adequate
water works at Quantico, Va, and bar.
racks at the New York navy yard.
Quantico should be made the east
coast base and San Diego the west coast
base of the corps, General Barnett says,
should it become necessary to concen-
trate these troops at their own depots
in order to devote the space they now
occupy to industrial activities of the
navy yards.
