RED CROSS DRIVE
BE READY no RECEIVE CAN
WASHERS ON DECEMBER Is.

To meet the demands of the Red
Cross of today and for the coming
year, this greatest of mercy organ
izations has many undertakings
ahead of it vast In scope and sacred
in purpose. Many people think that
because the war is over the work OF
the Red Cross is completed, but this
is a great mistake for the need of the
Red Cross for the next year or two
will be very great indeed. Millions
of homeless women and children in
northern France, Belgium, Poland,
Rumania. Serbia and Russia will de-
pend upon the Red Cross to keep
them from actual starvation and
from freezing to death.
There is a very great work for the
Red Cross in our own country also.
The recent and present epidemic will
probably call for heroic work on the
part of the Red Cross. The emer-
gency hospital recently maintained in
Madison has been the means of pre-
venting the spread of this dread dis
ease. and we may have to open an
other.
All these things take money and
lots of it. Sunday. December Is, has
been designated as Red Cross enroll
ment day, and we want to get 5000
members In Lake county that day

GETS TWENTY YEARS
INGMAR INVERSION, OF MADISON
TO SERVE AT FORT
L~EAVENWORTH.

Press dispatches from Camp
Dodge, Ia, announce that Ingmar M.
Iverson, of Madison, has been SEN
fenced to 20 years in the federal pris-
on at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The
crime OF which he was found guilty
by courtmartial was refusal to serve
in the United States army after hav-
ing been drafted. Iverson was en-
rolled by the Lake county exemption
board in the July draft. When the
men entrained for Camp Dodge he
failed to appear. He was arrested
the following day and taken to Fort
Smelling, Mimi, and thence trans
ferred to Camp Dodge where he has
been imprisoned since that time,
Military trial of his case was had
during the summer and now sentence
has been pronounced.
At the time he was drafted Iverson
was employed in the electric light
plant at the State Normal school
He is a socialist in his views, OF the
rankest type and Ut course against
the United Stetcs government and all
IL stands for. When he was enrolled
for the draft he posed as a martyr
and an objector to the war. His
