Red Cross Fire
ships!- ships!- Ships!

Shipbuilding has become the problem
of the American Red Cross as much as
of the army and navy because the fu-
ture shipment of hospital and other
supplies depends upon increasing the
tonnage.
Harvey D. Gibson, general manager
of the Red Cross at Washington, has
telegraphed Red Cross officials to get
behind the shipbuilding program OF
the government to the end that the
vast civilian and military relief pro-
gram of the Red Cross may be carried
out.
There are now 100000 members of
the Red Cross in the Central Division,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Nebraska, and in the entire country
2S, ATE, 900 members to help the govern
ment recruit workers for the shipyards
The number needed is 250, 1000.
Every Red Cross chapter and every
Red Cross member is urged to talk
ships to every person who could dc
work in shipyards. The men are to
register but not to leave their present
tasks until notified by the government
where to report:
Keeping the 100000 American boys
now in France, or on their way there
supplied with surgical dressings and
other vital materials depends upon in
creasing the number of ships, and the
urgency of the situation is expected
to stimulate all Red Cross members to
effective action.

the pools that line Grogan street near

who had rubber boots - leak proof.
The time set was after school and the
exploration of the waters proved an
exciting experience for a short half
hour.
"Well, no we didn t wade, all the
time" was the explanation of one of
guests who attended the unique party.
"When we got tired there was some
thing to eat and then we all went to
the picture show. Believe me, it was
some time.

EXPRESSION ON EDUCATION
ROBERT EDWARD LEE.

(1807-1870. General in the Confederate
Army, 1861 1865; President of Wash
ington College, Va, 1865-1S70.)
In the broad and comprehensive sense
education embraces the physical, moral,
and intellectual instruction of a child
from infancy to manhood. Any system
is imperfect which does not combine
them all; and that is best which, while
lit thoroughly develops them, aliases the
coarse animal emotions of human nature
and exalts the higher faculties and feel
ings. An essential part of the educa-
ton of youth is to teach them to serve
themselves and to impress upon them
the fact that nothing good can be ac-
CURED in this world without labor, and
that the very neeessaries and comforts
of life must be procured by earnest
and regular exertion. Can unpublished

WILL CONTRIBUTE S75O,OOO
Money Will Be Raised by Lutheran
Churches and Expended for Camp
Activities - Rev. Gebhart Com
ments-Real Americsnism.

1T was a tribute to the loyalty Of
Wisconsin Lutherans. With delegates
from go out of II counties represented
in the meeting and all of them en-
thusiastic in their support of the war,
the conference did much to dissipate
the popular impression that Lutherans
are pro-German in any sense of the
word. When a denomination is rails
ing $4,000 to protect the soldiers of
the United States it can hardly be cal
led luke-warm in its loyalty to the
Stars and Stripes much less pro-Ger-
man.
This was the Rev Mr.. Gebhart s
comment on the meeting of the Ma
tional Lutheran Commission for Sol
diers and Sailors Welfare held at
Madison on Tuesday afternoon and
evening. 402 delegates from 60
counties in Wisconsin comprised the
attendance at the conference and made
it truly representative of the Luth-
eran population of the state.
The chief business transacted at the
gathering was the formulation of plans
for war-relief campaign among Lu-
therans in all parts of the United
States. The movement comprehends
a collection of $4,000 to be used in
the promotion of war-camp activities
in the various environments where sol
diers of Uncle Sam will be trained for
fighting on the "big front" 1t will
also give special attention to the
spiritual welfare of Lutherans enlisted
in the armies of the United States and
help to provide volunteer chaplains or
camp pastors for the different military
centers.
The chief speakers at the conference
were Governor Emanuel Philip and
the Rev. Mr. Stub Of stoughton, Wis.
consin. The former congratulated the
Lutherans on their loyalty to the
United States while the latter assured
the governor that this same loyalty
would be continued until the war had
ended in American peace with vic
tory.
The Kenosha delegation at the gath
ering included the Rev. Fl. K. Gebhart,
D. D. and S. B. Peck of the Grace Lu-
theran Church; the Rev. P. L. G. Han
sen and G. w. johnson of the Danish
Lutheran Church; David Nelson of the
Swedish Lutheran Church; and J. Dav-
isson of the Norwegian Lutheran
Church. The local delegates were very
active in the convention and convinced
the leaders of the movement that they
were willing and anxious to do all they
can to promote the progress of the Lu-
theran war-relief work.

Tuesday Evening.
The social and dance given Tuesday
evening at the Balm school under the
auspices of the Balm Parent Teacher
Association was an unusual success
with more than three hundred patrons
and friends Of the school in attendance.
A short literary and musical program
occupied the first half of the evening
at the close of which the floor was
cleared for dancing. A feature of the
evening was. that the soldiers present,
more than thirty in number, entertain
ed all present with illustrations OF
formations under the direction of their
top-sergeant.
Patriotism was the keynote of the
program which was rendered at the
meeting. Miss Marian Ravens, with
splendid technique and charming per.
sonality, read, "When the Fleet Goes
By by Mary Synon, and won the ap-
plause of all in attendance. This was
followed by a piano solo by Miss Min
ME Larsen, teacher in the Balm
School, pleasing medley of popular
patriotic airs. Mother" charming
little song, received rounds of an.
plause when it was sung by four year
old Welma Stephenson and was follow
ed by piano duet by Walter and Alma
Bloxdorf, two pupils of the Balm
School. A number on the program
which won deserved applause was the
solo by Theodore Nelson, who with
melody and feeling sang the "Song
of the Soul'
Splendid music for the dancing kept
the guests until late hour, when cot
fee and cake was served as the closing
episode of one of the most successful
meetings in the history of the Balm
