support according to the Red Cross
plan of 1884 per month. Several Of

France more than $500 have been thus
adopted by officers, men and, organl-
cations of the army. Yet there are
thousands u~nprovided for still. The
question of these refugees returning
to their homes; no, places where their
homes were is one full of pathos.
In most cases everything has been
lost, the buildings destroyed, the men
killed or crippled. There are only
the women and children mostly to go
back. Then, when they get back the
question is what can they do. To
build houses out of brick, stone, ce-
ment, and tile is a mans job. The
making of brick without straw vas
not a more discouraging task than the
one awaiting the refugees return to

Presidenet of The "Hi-Y" Club
Makes Plea For Cooperation
OF Parents and Friends.

My Dear Mr.. Price,
Through the medium of your
paper, | wish to speak a word to
our parents and friends, con-
corning our Club and it's activi-
ties. AS the Eagle so generous
ly gave space to our b%anquet's
program, and the kindly COM
ments on same, we feel assured
that some at least, are cognizant
of the existence of the Hi-Y
Club.
Tn machinery of our organiza-
ton is very simple, we have no
elaborate constitution and by
laws. The charter members OF
the club, number forty-four;
our expectations are to have an
increase in number, and what is
more important, an increase in
interest.
You, who were our guests at
the banquet, and heard Mr.. God
frey, know our purpose. Keep
in touch with us; drop in on us
at our weekly Tuesday night
meetings.
The past has too often witness
sed a movemnt of this kind
flourish vigorously for awhile,
and then die. We realize that
the first essential, is to get the
sympathy and interest OF our
Oxford friends; then their en-
couragment and help.
We are learning the value OF
organized effort, and trust the
awakening of interest OF our
Oxford friends; then their en-
enlargement and help.
We are learning the value OF
organized effort, and trust the
awakening of interest on their
part will bring about the CO.
operation we so much need.
There has come about a gene
raj upward trend to our thought
and activities; now is your
chance to give us the support

that will do much to make OF
mar us. Come out to witness
our athletic stunts. Whether
it be basketball, or. baseball, we
are trying to give you the very
best that is in us; come out with
the feeling that it is a game
played by our boys; that it is
our boys club. If you can't
come, send some in your place.
Mothers and big sisters, your
presence will mean much to us.
Mr.. Busy-Man, why not be on
hand by proxy? Purchase two
or three tickets, and show that
you have the true spirit; it is
this spirit that will make the
games a bowling success. Boost
your home boys in their en-
deavors. Do it now.
| have purposedly dwelt upon
the financial phase of the club,
for it seems to me, to be funda-
mental.
Until our Treasurer calls out
"full up" we will have to lie low,
though our hospitality is clamor-
ing for a series of entertain
ments in honor of our Mothers,
sisters, sweethearts, all". Help
us to make these possible.
In conclusion | wish to thank
the Faculty for their hearty CO.
operation; it has been an in
SEPARATION to us. To you, Mr..
Price, we extend thanks for
your past kindness, and present
indulgence.
Sincerely Yours,

HOME SERVICE CHAPTER
COURSE COMPLETED

A splendid Home Service
Chapter Course has been COM
pleted in Oxford. There were
nine members who were regular
in attendance and enthusiastic
in their appreciation of the pre-
sentation of the work by Mrs.
Wyckoff, of the Red Cross Gulf
Division. During the course,
Mr.. Wyckoff, Assistant Director
of Civilian Relief and Mr.. Mel
polder, Assistant Director in
Charge of After-Care, spoke to
the class and to a great many
others who are interested in the
work. The course has already
proved invaluable in arousing en-
thusiasm in Home Service Work
ers. This work in Lafayette
County is growing daily and
much is being ACCOMPLISHED.

ATTENTION, PARENTS
OF CLUB BOYS

The officials of the "Hi-Y" club
wish to announce that they have
only one meeting a week, usually
on Tuesday night, from 1870 till
$50. The boys going home
promptly, should be out, but a
few minutes over the hour. We
do not want the boys to be on
the streets at night, and report
to you that the Club keeps them.
However,, we trust that our boys
will not take advantage of you
in this way. We are all stu
dents, and must be careful of the
time spent from our studies.
This weekly hour is essential to
the success of our club, it is not
spent in an unseemly manner,
you have a standing invitation
to make us a call. We throw
our doors open for you at any
time you will honor us with your
presence.

as two years of College training and
agreeing to stay until June 80 has the
privilege of making application for a
course in either the French or British
Universities. If appointed you will be
allowed to go on full pay. In the case
of privates, they will be given SO per
day in addition to their army pay for
expenses. The tuition for 3 months
will be $50 which goes to the institu-
ton.
AS to when we will get home no one
can say. There are so many things
that may modify any plan, the final
peace terms, how Germany will swal-
low those terms, whether or not we
have to cram them down thier threats,
the B%olsheviks, whether Or not they
will be good, and finally, the matter Of
ships and who goes first. The men
are waiting with what patience they
can, practically all anxious to walk
the gang-plank. Some officers who
realize they are about to lose the best
job they ever had are not so anxious
to go. Some arc worried about
whether they will be allowed to wear
their service stripes at home, and
some are writing to their wives to
lay in a supply of wet goods before
the great drought starts.

Our sewing class is making
rapid progress with their work
and have done very excellent
work so far and we hope they
will continue.

of our clubs to feel sighted so
we will say a word for them too.
They are all making rapid pro-

Dear Editor: In my letter of Dec.
20, | told something of the condition
of the orphans of this country, also OF
the refugees. Since writing that let
ter I've, had some observations along
that line further. Once l had started
to d. something even in a small way
for those people and they knew it. l
had call after call. Some OF them are
extremely pathetic. One of them, l
think of just now is the case OF a
widow, two daughters and a small son.
They were in German occupied terri
tory, held captives, and ~enslaved. 1hey
were released at the signing OF the
Armistice and made their way to this
town. My attention was called to
them by members of the French Mis-
sion (French interpreters under the
command of a French officer for the
use Of the American army to whom
they had applied for help. l visited
the family where these people had OBJ
tanned shelter and heard the mothers
story. In the drive made by the Ger
mans in that section they had beer
caught within the lines and held. They
had been enslaved for more than two
years, being forced to work in Ger
man munition factories on bread and
water principally. Some times when
they would offend their masters they
would be sent to work with nothing to
eat or drink. They would often be
called out in the middle Of the night
and abused and sent to work. They
reached this town with only pieces OF
shoes, scant clothes, nothing to eat, nc
money, strangers, no work, in the
middle of winter. They came to
province County, that already hat
fifteen thousand refugees and all thu
sources Of help overwhelmed with ap
plications for assistance. The great
majority of the local French are poo
and there is practically no work fol
them to obtain to earn bread. The
French government gives them, the
children 18c, and the adults, 27c pei
day. Thy have war prices over here
also and that amount of money will
barely keep soul and body together
One of the interpreters had beer
telling me about an orphan boy here
in town he was anxious for me to see
A few days ago l looked him up. His
father had been killed in battle ane
his mother had died leaving him M
relatives to look after him. He hat
