THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL.

The week of December 1928 has
been set by the American Red Cross
Society as Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call, and universal membership has
been chosen as the keynote and goal.
The significance of this important
drive cannot be too widely empha-
sized. 1t means the enrolment of
every loyal American as a member of
the largest humanitarian organiza-
ton in the world.
This thought was expressed by
President Wilson, who is also Presi-
dent of the Red Cross, and who, in
his memorable address last May,
said: 81 summon you to comrade-
ship" and this appeal has sounded
the clarion call to every good Ameri-
can to enroll as a member of the
Red Cross.
The Roll Call is so planned and
will be so Systematically conducted
that every loyal American no matter
where he or she may live, will have
the opportunity and privilege of be-
coming a member.
1t seems altogether appropriate to
have this Roll Call during the Christ

peace at hand it should serve as a
fitting climax to an eventful year.
"a large membership in the Red
Cross means more over there than
money" said Chairman Henry P.
Davidson, upon his return from a
visit to every battle front.
Therefore, it is hoped and expect
ed that the great ambition to enroll
every American will be realized, and
with that end in view it is the pGr-
pose of those in charge of the drive
to make a personal appeal to every
patriotic citizen urging him to join
the Red Cross.
Mrs. Walter Payne is the local
Chairman of this work, and under
her direction the city and county will
be divided and subdivided systemat,
ically, and each division will be in
charge of capable assistants, who will
promptly carry out the directions
recommended by the National, the
Division and the Chapter Chairmen

HAIL" IN FRANCO-ENGLISH.
(Outlook.)

A soldiers letter says that when
his regiment disembarked at port
in France the men were cheerily well
coined by a crowd of small children
who sang a song, the. FIRST line of
which ran something like this:
Oiloil, re gonbzoll ere,%
The words sounded like CHERISH to
the Americans, but the tune seemed
strangely. familiar; and presently 1t
dawned on the newcomers that the
children were singing, or trying to
sing in English,
"Hail! hail! the gangs all here!"
The soldiers predecessors from
America had evidently thought it
would be nice for the incoming Sam
mics to hear something familiar, and
so had taught the French children
to sing this somewhat boisterous air
as a welcoming anthem.

THE SHIPPING SITUATION

The cry for more ships and still! more
ships is penetrating one and the CORE
spondents in England are not losing any
chances of impressing the American m nd
with the Imperative need, 1t is true that
our shipbuilding has not thus far kept
pace with the promises and that the ex--
perts now figure that 4, 900, 900 tons will
be all that we will be able TO turn out of
our shipyards this year instead OF the
5000, 600 tons planned.
But 4, ,0O0, 600 tons is a mighty achieve
ment and it is believed that we will reach
that amount. The launchings are now
coming rapidly and for March wl!l be
double those of April, and Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board says that
this ratio will be continued Throughout
the year.
The situation is steadily improving.
Seventy-seven new yards, started since
our country entered the war are % per
cent completed All will be at work be-
fore the end of the year. Their output
will depend on the willingness of work
ers to stay on the job. There is occasion
for anxiety in the forced reduction of the
building estimate from 5000, 600 tons to
1900, 600, but encouragement is found in
the promise of ample yard facilities to be
provided within a few months.-Bangol-

The Government to Protect
the Drafted Mems Interests
February 20, 1918.

February 20, 1918.
To Members of all Local Boards:
Herewith are sent to you five copies OF
the Act of Congress recently passed, the
Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act.
Its aim is to protect persons in military
service from excessive hardship due to
the forfeiture of sundry claims and rights
OF the maturing of legal obligations dur
ing their absence in military service, and
due to their inability to look after their
business and property interests left be-
hind.
This Act was drafted in the office of
the Judge Advocate General of the
Army, and received thorough overhaul
ing in the light of hearings before Senate
and House Committees, at which were
present representatives of the various
interests affected. 1t therefore repre-
sents the result of several months care
full scrutiny by large number of COM
petent persons, in addition to the author
ity given by its consideration and enact
ment by the two Houses of Congress.
In view of the serious hardships likely
to be suffered in their affairs by thou
sands of men who have made the great
act of sacrifice by entering military ser
vice and in view of the wisdom of fore
stalling that natural dissatisfaction which
might arise if such measure of relief
had not been extended, it is hoped that
all members of Local Boards will take an
active interest in giving wide publicity to
this law.
You are requested to hand one of these
copies of the Act to each of the MEM
bers of your Legal Advisory Board, and
to show them this letter.
Should the families of any persons in
military service be known to you to need
protection from the kind of loss or injury
covered by this Act, you are requested to
notify them to apply promptly to the
nearest court, where due relief can be
obtained.
Copies of the Act have been distributed
to all judges of superior courts; but, in
asmuch as the various local judges and
magistrates have not all been reached in
this manner, it is requested that you hand
a copy of the Act to the principal maeis-
trate in your neighborhood, for the pur-
pose of his information. In this and other
ways, we trust that you will be able to
assist powerfully in giving prompt effect
to the beneficent provisions of the Act.
E. H. CROWDER,
Provost Marshal General.

A Public Warning.

The Public Safety Committee of Bel
fast has received communication from
National Headquarters which reads in
part as follows:
I'VE are confident that the majority of
our citizens throughout the State do not
fully understand that in many localities
in this State there are men and women in
different stations of life, who, while too
| cowardly to indulge in word or deed for
which they may be punished by the law,
are making such effort as they dare, to
discourage patriotism of the rugged kind
We wish to call upon our Public Safety
Committees in every locality to use
means and methods to meet each individ-
ual situation and to suppress the character
of the work that is being done by these
traitors. We have been advised of sew
eral places in the country where men
congregate to discuss the national affairs,
the drift of their argument is along this
line, this is a rich mans war, there is
plenty of food if the rich man and the
large corporations would release it to the
people, any man is fool to leave home
to serve in the army of the United States
to assist in fighting the battles of Eng
land and France" and many other argu-
ments along the same line. We wish to
call the attention of the public that this
kind of talk is all contrary to law. Our
country is engag ged in the greatest strug-
gle in the history of all the world, and it is
the duty of every citizen to forget per-
sonal likes and dislikes, and for the period
of the war, be it long or short, do every
/ thing in their power to cooperate with
the government, and anyone failing to do
this will be reported by the Public Safety
organization to the proper Federal officers
who will take such action as necessary
to suppress such propa ganda as described
above.
cat the meeting held in Waterville
March 18th, conference for increasing
food production was held, at which every
county in the State was represented 1t
was urged that banking institutions and
all who can make loans, extend to the
farmer the same degree of credit that is
given to other industries. Farmers were
also advised that the State will take no
part in purchasing and distributing seed
or fertilizer this year. The farmers are
urged to look for their supply to the local
dealers and place their orders early to
avoid any possible shortage when plant
ing time arrives

War Savings Stamps.

| The sale of War Savings Stamps in
Waldo county for December, January and
February was most encouraging, but dur
ing March there has been lessening OF
interest, apparently. which we as coun-
ty cannot afford to have happen.
The purchase of War Savings Stamps
is the finest opportunity that the people
of the county have had to derive some
to take advantage of its benefits.
Waldo County has responded splendidly
to all the patriotic demands that has been
made upon it and are justly entitled to
reap the benefits that will come later.
Name has been leading the country in
the sale of the stamps, per capita, and
Waldo county has been slightly below the
average, thus showing that some of our
people are not fully acquainted with the
wonderful opportunities presented by saw
ing through the War Saving method.
The people of Waldo county should
have an opportunity to know about the
War Savings Stamps, therefore it is the
duty of every man, woman and child,
who has the welfare of this county at
heart, to tell their neighbor of the wonder
fulness OF the plan and thus give our
people a share in the prosperity that
comes from getting into our county every
War Saving Stamp that can be brought
in.
The sale of these stamps teaches thrift
and it belps US to do our little part in the
great work of helping "Our Boys" win
the war. To win the war, is not that the
dream and hope of every man, woman
and child in Waldo county? Do not we all
say, almost as fervent prayer: "Oh, if
we could only do something to end this
awful slaughter!' We can do something
to help, we have done something to help,
but we must do more than we have be-
fore, and the way in which we can do
this is to pledge ourselves to save our
money and buy our share of War Sa wings
Stamps.
Let US make Maine and the Nation
proud of Waldo county.
Yours sincerely, in the push for victory,
M. L. SLUGG,
Director for Waldo County.

She is a cousin of the late Irish patriot

her mother died when she was nine

advantages of home influences in Ireland,
where she lived as child; in England,
where her young womanhood was spent

Her cousins husband was one of the
guards to bring to England the royal prin-
cess at the command of her son, the
Kaiser, for no other reason than his own
aggrandizement.
With one of the servants she spent
night in the tower "and such night as
