Hundreds of Maryland soldiers, wound
% or i'll, lying in the big Army hos
nitals of New York, receive their first
sneciaI welcome and their first hint of
home from letters and calls from vol
untppr women workers at the Mary
land desk at the Hall of States in New
York City Backed only by the South
ern Society and the Maryland Society,
these women are trying to do as well
by Marylanders who reach New York
as other states are doing for their
Homecoming sons, despite the fact that
other states have large appropriations
for the work. Kansas is spending $685.
O1O TO welcome her boys, Massachu-
sets 100000. and other states smaller
amounts. The Maryland women say
they have received no financial aid
from the state. even toward the clerical
work of writing almost two hundred
bows from the state now in the hos
pitfalls here.
These letters, sent out under a. plan
devised by the. War Camp Community
Service, are as a rule the first words
from homefolks to reach the injured
boys after they arrive on the trans
ports The women invite those lads
who can, to visit them at the Hall Of
States and. in the cases of the severe
" wounded they call on the men in
the wards, carrying cheer, home papers

that are avidly seized, and flowers or
fruit.
All the hospital activity for the vari-
Gus states centres at the Hall of States,
which War Camp Community Service,
has established at ~ West 25th St.,
close to the Victory Arch. Here Bud
dies" meet, at the wars end, and home
folks welcome the boys back from the
trenches and the deep blue seas. How
the eyes of the home-sick lads do shine
when they sight women from the home
community! How they do rush for the
home papers! Some of them need more
practical aid, some are blue" some
need a job back home, some want to
trace lost families. To all of these the
Maryland women give help. Sometimes
they take a blue" lad to dinner and
to the theatre, sometimes they find the
lost loved ones. For those who need
jobs the War Camp Community Service
maintains at the Hall of States a ma
tion-wide employment bureau. Its
manager, J. III. Vertrees, convasses
Maryland and other states for positions
for the service men.

Protest County Appropriations


The Lambertville Board of Educa-
ton through President McClinton,
Secretary Hayhurst and F. A. Wood
ward as special committee, will pro-
test to the State Board of Education,
and through the Senator and Assem-
blymen from Hunterdon County
against the reduction in the county
appropriation.
The matter will be taken up with
other Boards Of Education, and an eff
fort made to have the discrimination
against Hunterdon County and the
City of Lambertville ended. They
believe that the citizens of this city
are entitled to have just as much help
proportionately, from the state as
other sections, and will make de-
termined movement in this direction.
The Board has agreed to pay part
of the expenses of any teachers in the
local schools who wish to attend the
summer schools for the purpose of
improving their efficiency.
The Christmas holiday season was
set from December % to January 5.

St. Andrews Church.
ector, Rev. Thomas j. Bensley, D. D

A military chaplain writes: When
a young man goes to church, he would
Ike to have people make him feel
that, as child of God, the place is
his to use: that he is already a mem
Der of the congregation by virtue Of
his desire for worship and instruc-
ton. Of course he does not like rent
ed sittings; they are to him evidences
of the club idea. He misses that
casual, quiet friendliness which he
instictively feels is what Christ Jesus
Himself stand for. He wishes Gods
people, as with Got, there were less
respect of persons in Gods House.
The young men of Lambertvlle will
find on experience, that at st. An
drew's church all that is wished for
in the foregoing sentence is more than
abundantly met, all the evils are
avoided. Free seats, and quiet
friendliness prevail.

John Price, of Carversville, had a
painful accident on Tuesday while
helping to build chicken house when
a nail flew up hitting him in the eye,
but it was not thought that the sight
was injured.
A bold theft of automobiles was
nearly pulled off on Tuesday night at
Pleasant Valley, when the touring car
of Harry Weirbach had been taken
from his garage and moved as far as
the arch bridge and there the car of
Jacob Soliday, living nearby, was
backed to the front of the other ma
chine presumably to tow it away,
which seems to have been unsuccess-
full or the robbers were frightened
away.
