In a letter received at this office
from First Lieut.. Willis H. Brannock,
who is a Chaplain with the First Sec
ton of the 155th Depot Brigade,
Camp Lee, Va, the interesting news
is received that the Rev. Thomas Car
ter Page, a former rector of Christ
Church, this city, is doing splendid
work there as i Y. NJ. c. \. Secre-
tary Rev Mr. Brannock says: He
has labored heroically among the

and comfort the fellows throughout
the siege of influenza and pneumo-

About 100000 is needed TO bring
| the subscriptions to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan up to the quota allotted
by the Government to this county,
and it is necessary that citizens OF
| Cambridge and the county who have
not already subscribed do so at once,
the need is imperative, the time is
short, and as will be seen by the
telegram of Secretary McAdoo to
this paper, it is absolutely necessary
that this loan be subscribed in full.
Persons who have already subscrib-
| ed, but who have not subscribed for
as large amounts as they can stand,
should increase their subscriptions.
This is the time when persons must
be real citizens, not lip" citizens.
The news thai the ban on Sunday
automobiling had been lifted was re-
ceived with great joy by many of the
local motorists. The law worked
quite a hardship on many persons,
but with very few exceptions, it was
cheerfully accepted and observed; in
fact, the practical unanimity with
which the public accepted the situa-
) ton and co-operated must have made
those who failed to conserve each
! week the amount of gasoline they had
) been in the habit of using on Sunday
. feel as ii they were not only Sinking
! their duty, but were slackers Of the
; worst kind. Over there men were
. risking their lives for their safety
and they would not even help to the
. extent of saving a little gasoline
. each week.
The Cambridge Hospital is sorely
in need of a cook and dishwashers.
During the present epidemic of in
fuenza and pneumonia this institu-
. ton has been unable to render the
service which il should to the COM
. munity on account of a shortage OF
. nurses and domestic help. Women
of Cambridge have gone there and
. cooked and washed dishes in order
to help keep it open, and in order
that the inmates might have properly
. cooked and properly served food
!. These conditions constitute a serious
reflection upon the people of this
! community; while it has been posi-
Bile for private families to obtain
/. cooks, maids, etc, this institution
which should stand between the pub
lie and death, has been practically
useless, being unable to give proper
attention to those patients already in
{ the building, aud absolutely unable
, at the time of the greatest need il
: the history of the institution, to rem
. der any assistance whatever to the
public.
