Interest to Women
To Communicate
With Relatives

The Red Cross service, as part of
Its work of ~helpfulness in the COM
munity, has made arrangements to
send messages to relatives living in
enemy countries. Regular mail serv-
ice has not BEEF open to Germany
oraAustria or Russia, and it may not
be open again for several months.
With the war over, people here are
more anxious han ever to have some
word from their loved ones in the
home land. In one of the counties of
Minnesota, a workman from Galicia,
or Austrian Poland, had not heard
for four years. from his wife and
impossible to SEND them the money
saved from his wages. The army
a swept again and again over the
region near his dc home. Four long
years, and not a word to tell whether
they We're living or dead. Some one
directed him to the Red Cross. The
home service information bureau
wrote for him a letter in English on
the prescribed form, to be sent to
Switzerland, translated there into Po-
fish, and mailed to Poland. "How
much shall I pay?" the man asked.
Not a penny, not even a postage
stamp. The Red Cross of this coun-
ty is glad to help YOU" I'D give a
thousand dollars if I could hear from
them" And no doubt he has heard
by this time, for thousands of an
swers have been coming back through
the same channel. Take this, like all
is a home service information bureau
in every branch. Tell your neighbors
about it, whether they have boys in
n service or not.

1t is glorious to be an American.
One never appreciates and realizes
this fact until he has seen David w.

OF history that will undoubtedly be
stored away in the archives Of the
government for reference and study
by future generations. No man or
woman with an ounce Of patriotism in
their soul but will be carried away
with enthusiasm and Joy when they
see the story of the worlds great fight
for justice and liberty iiluminateds on
the screen with its beautiful love
theme laid on the historic spot Of
bleeding France. Under the auspices
Of the British government, Mr..
Griffith has reproduced scenes of
battle and action that will probably
never be afforded another dramatist
and that are inspiring in their awful
truth and realism. With grim war as
a background this Shakespeare Of the
screen has revealed a love story that
IS so sweet and pretty one almost for
gets h terrible circumstances under
which 1t is related. Hearts of the
World" is D. w. Griffith's supreme
he q ever presented to an amazed
public and only goes to show there is
no limit to the creative possibilities of
his genius. Hearts of the World" is
coming to this city soon and if there
is any one for fifty miles around who
fails to see it they will only have
themselves to blame and will never
forgive themselves because this pro-
duction is proffered to the public un-

R F'sd ! Cross T,
Tomorrow Last Day.

1OLQOEIOW Last Day.
Joy has been brought to the hearts
Of mothers this eason because Of the
recent ruling made regarding the
sending Of Christmas packages to SOL
diers In France. When the matter of
Christmas boxes to the soldiers in
foreign service was first considered it
was thought advisable to issue q
Christmas box label to each soldier
who in turn was to send 1T to his
nearest kin in the United States. Aft
er a short time had passed IT.. was
found that this was not practicable,
owing to the fact that a large per-
centage Of parents were not receiv-
ing these labels. Therefore the re-
cent ruling, made it possible for all
parents who had not received a label,
to obtain one at the Red Cross head
quarters in their locality. This ne
cessitated the extension Of time. for
mailing, also, and November SOth was
given as the latest possible date up
on which these Christmas boxes
would be accepted.
Relatives are again reminded that
tomorrow, which is the 3Oth Of No
vember. is the last day which the Red
Cross chapter here can accept Christ
who have not already taken their
package there for inspection and
wrapping are asked to do so at once.

fact that volunteer Red Cross knitters

they were compelled to make a detour
via Zeebrugge to Bruges, the direct road
having been blown up by the Germans.
The actual time occupied was two
days. but several days were spent on
the way taking observations.
Paul and Goelet say that the electric
fence which the Germans maintained be-
tween Holland and Germany, with its
1000 volts of current, has been destroyed
and that work is progressing on road
repairs, so that within a few days an
auto trip from Paris to Holland can be
completed in twenty-four hours.
They saw mountains of material that
