N. M. P. Men Patriotic
The loyalty of the inmates of this
institution is shown clearly by the
subscriptions to Liberty Loans, and
also the donations to the Red Cross
fund, as we'll as by the expressed
sympathy of the men with the cause
for which the Allies are fighting.
There is no division whatever of sem
timent here. They are all loyal to
the of the people against ty-
ranny and have contributed some
thousands of dollars from their scant
savings to aid the Government.
The inmates of this institution
donated $1,000 to the Red Cross
fund in the End Red Cross drive
which ended May 25th, and they al
ways stand ever-ready to do their
bit, with many regrets that they
cannot do more.-Forward.
