Praise for Red Cross

Praise such as General John
j. Pershing recently gave the
American Red Cross seldom is
received by any organization and
not only Red Cross officials, but
its twenty odd million mem bers
and other millions of well-wish-
ers appreciate his words highly.
Il want to say to yon," Gen.
eral Pershing said 30 Tdah Nc
Clone Gibson, "that no other
organization since the world be.
gan has ever done such great
constructive work with the eff
cheney, dispatch, understanding,
often under adverse circum.
stances, that has been done in
France by the American Red
Cross in the last six months"
That appears to be about the
limit in com mendation. 1t was
followed by more remarks
equally complimentary to the
Red Cross for it's work in re
habilitating the devasted homes
Of France and thereby improving
the morals OF the French army.
This work Of restoring the
homes wrecked by the Germans
SO that the French soldier at
the end Of the war would find a
reunited family and a foundation
for new life, was said by Cen
eral Pershing to have helped
the American army fight the
Kaiser before machine guns be-
Gan to fire and shells to burst.
Mrs. Gibson reached the con-
clusion ON her personal in
vestigation Of Red Cross relief
work in France that the Ameri-
can people could not give too
much for the extension of the
work.

meeting to be held at the Com
mercial Club. This should be

turn. 1t is important for every
one having an income in excess
of the amounts set forth to make
out the return for failure to

Washburn Boys are Safe
We're Not on Inflated Steamer
261 Lives Lost. Boat
CARED 2173 Men.

The world war was brought
pretty close home today when ii
was announced that the Ameri-
can Transport ship Tuscania
with 2173 officers and men aboard
was torpedoed off the Irish coast
with loss of 261 lives.
A part of the l07th Military
Police from Camp Macarthur,
Texas. as we'll as a part Of the
10Th Supply company was
aboard the which gave rise this
morning to rumor4 that the Bay
field county boys were among
the troops aboard the ship, but
this is hardly bel eyed possible
-as,the boys were s5if at Camp
Merritt when Captain Peavey
was here on his visit, Captain
Peavey did not return to Camp
Merritt until Monday afternoon
of this week and could not have
arrived there until Wednesday.
1t is not likely that his company
would have sailed without him
being with them.
It is possible that DR.. Ii. |.
Lewis might have been aboard
the ship as he left recently for
the war zone.
The men aboard the iII-fatad
ship were members of the 32nd
division composed of Wisconsin
and Michigan National Guards
men which comprised the old
fourth and Sixth Wisconsin
regiments. News dispatches
state that a part of the regi-
ments in which Washburn boys
are represented was on the ship
but it is almost a certainty that
the Bayfield, company was not
among them.
Had it not been for the fact
that the Bayfield, county company
was qusrantiped for measles it
is possible that they may have
been on the ship.
kilograms are beginning to
come in from the boys stating
that they are still in the United
States, messages having been
received after dinner today from
Fred Gregoire, Chester Hanson
and Levi Lowe.

Great Tribute for Red Cross

Captain FL. H. Peavey of the
Military Police, who was visit
ing in the city during the past
week, paid a glowing tribute to
the work of the American Red
Cross when he spoke before the
Washburn Com m ercial Club last
Friday.
Captain Peavey said that one
thing that impressed the soldiers
and sailors of the United States
more than anything else was
the great business organization
of this institution, the prompt
ness with which great matters
are handled, and the manner
in which they are handled.
Captain Peavey said the Red
Cross made inspection of equip
ment furnished by them as
thoroughly as inspection made
by the government officers and
whenever it was found that any
man was short of any materials
he was promptly furnished with
the same.
Captain Peavey said that every
man was equipped with sweat
ers, wristlets, stockings, bed
socks, mufflers, etc. furnished
by the Red Cross department,
besides having comfort kits,
etc.
Captain Peavey said that too
much praise could not be given
to the Red Cross organization
and the work it is doing.

Great Work Being DOre

From reports coming to the Office o.
J. H. Puelicher, State Director for
War Savings, headquarters at Mil
waukee, it is evident that the en-
tire state has entered into the spirit
of Thrift Week and that by next Sat
urday night, Wisconsin will again have
reached it's quota for the campaign.
F rom nearly every city and village
in the state good reports are coming
in and thousands Of willing workers
are Drawing the weather and making
their way to outlying points over al
most impossible roads, to the end that
one million War Savers may be ac-
tually started in Wisconsin by Feb
ruary IL.
Solicitors for War Savings have
been instructed to explain to all that
the Thrift and War Stamps are "Baby
Bonds OF the United States Govern
ment, having practically the same
security back of them that guarantees
the payment of the Liberty Bonds
in other words, the entire resources
of the richest country in the world
Monday was Thrift Day in ell
schools of the state. Appropriate ex-
ercises were held in the different
class rooms, AMI the children Of the
state had been converted into a vast
Juvenile army that will carry the mos
sage of Thrift into thousands Of
homes during the week.

Make Great Offer to War Camp Com
munity Recreation Fund
Agree to Give 81 to Every 81 Subscribed
by the People Of the
City.

The War Camp Community
Recreation Fund campaign for
the city of Washburn was given
quite boost yesterday by the
men employed at the DUPONT
plant at Barksdale when they
made an offer to Chairman w.
A. Robinson to the effect that
they would subscribe $4.00 to
the fund for every dollar SUBJ
scribed by the people residing
and working in the city.
This is considered a very fine
offer by the local committee and
has stirred them to greater
efforts to oversubscribe the
fund.
The War Camp Community
Recreation Fund is in charge of
men of National Importance who
are dovoting their services free
of charge to the government to
help along this cause. The fund
is used for the purpose of pro-
viding comforts and entertain
ment and looking after the wei
fare of the soldiers and sailors
of the United States outside of
the cantonment camps and this
is a worthy cause. This organi-
zation works hand in hand with
the Y: M. G. A. and Knights of
Columbus, assuming the work
outside of the camps while the
other organizations look after
the work inside of the camps.
Washburn people should en-
deavor to oversubscribe the fund.
Contributions should be for
warded to Selmer Haugen,
treasurer, Of the local committee
or w. A. Robinson, Chairman.
