Accordingly the Red Cross
Association is Asking for
More and More Old
Clothing.
LAST WEEK FOR DRIVE
Donations Should Be Left At Head
quarters or Substations Before
Four O'Clock On sat
urday Afternoon.

For four years the American people
have given freely in answer to every
plea. They have given to relieve suf-
fering in every corner of the world
and to finance great war. They are
a little weary. Of giving. But a plea
comes now which involves very little
sacrifice-in fact, none at all-and
which means life to thousands of peo-
ple--people who have suffered unbe-
lieveable hardships for four long years
and who are still suffering.
All that is asked for is clothing
which the American people would new
er wear again-the winter garments
which are being discarded, the old shoes
which are not good enough to be repair
ed, the old coats and dresses and suits,
the underwear which would go into the
rag bag because it is beginning to
wear little, the dresses and petticoats
and shoes and suits which the children
have outgrown. These cast-off gar
ments, which would mean at most a
negligible sum from the old clothes
man or a supply of dust cloths, can
prevent the most poignant suffering
overseas.
The refugees in Northern France,
Belgium, italy, Greece, Albania, Mon
tenegro, Serbia, Roumania, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Palestine and Poland are in rags.
Many of them are wearing the same
garments they had on when they were
driven from their homes four years ago.
The American Red GROSS proposes to
send all the clothing gathered up in
the present old clothes drive direct
to the suffering people Of Europe.
Tt is difficult to conceive of the extent
of the suffering. Statistics like the
following express so little and yet they
are practically all that the relief work
ers in the devastated regions have time
to send. For instance they write that
the men along the Marine are wearing
burlap sacks for shirts and the chill
dren are using flour sacks for pants. In
one month $50 people in one town in
the Aisne district applied for clothing
to the Red Cross station. In Laon, a
CITY about which important and des-
800 families including 1000 people
were aided with distribution of cloth
ing in few weeks.
IN voges badly destroyed, village a
few miles from Laon, thirty refugees
returned directly after the armistice,
lust about the time winter set in. A
few bags, three wheelbarrows, two ba-
Nv carriages and quantity of sugar
heets was the sum total of their pos
sessions. They sat about fires, which
were fed by the wrecked furniture and
timbers of their homes, eating the beets
They were unable to venture far from
the glow of the fires because of lack
of proper clothing.
in all the towns in the path of the
German devastation. IF life is to be
maintained among the refugees, cloth
ING must be rushed at once. Not only
to France, but to Belgium, too. And
to Italy, Greece, Albania, Czeeho-slo-
vakia, Roumania and Serbia. For the
Balkans have been as badly treated as
France. And up north to Poland,
where the cold makes the suffering still
more intense and down to Palestine, a
country that is almost entirely desti-
tute.

"GIVE TT THE oNCE!''
Program for the Gold-Stripe Minstrel
Includes Offerings of Military
"Click, map, and Precision.


The Gold Stripe Minstrels, a group
Of men each of whom was wounded
while on active duty in France, will
present their production Of mirth and
laughter at the virginian the first three
days of next week, beginning with the
Monday night performance.
The show is divided into two parts
and four scenes. The first scene is a
regular minstrel show in which the en-
tire company participates and brings
Joy to the hearts of the listeners. Dur
ing the second part, in which there are
three scenes, there is a chalk-talk, a
surprise act which travelled with the
Sousa Band, skit of merriment by
three clever entertainers of the profess
sional stage who quit their acts to help
fight and lastly trench scene, depict
ing exactly how the boys fought in a
certain sector Of France just before the
signing Of the armistice.
The production is one that has not
yet been equaled in Kenosha thus far
this season and anyone can safely go
without fear ing to be shocked by Grip
pies and manned men who have return
ed from the war. Although many of the
men have lost an eye, ann, leg or had
other serious defects, the mastery Of
modern surgery has been SO complete
that the defects cannot be noticed ex-
cept when scrutinized closely.

tells wonderful stories'', one of the
members of the Club said this morning
with the usual feminine enthusiasm for
a man Of ultra versatility. "Also",
she went on, "he's terribly handsome
and know if you could just publish
his picture we'd get church full of
people without working at all''
BY way of proof she adduced pic
ture of "the modern Apolloo all
