General Pershing Praises Work
A copy of letter from General
John j. Pershing to Lieut.. Col. George
H. Burr, American Red CROSS commits
sioner to France, was given out re-
Gently at Red Cross headquarters.
General Pershing's letter follows:
My dear Colonel Burr:
''I wish to convey through you to
the American Red Cross my personal
appreciation and the gratitude OF the
officers and men of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces for the services
which your organization, from the ar
rival Of the first American contingents,
has rendered to the Army, and which
have constantly increased in variety,
magnitude and value.
!. "The first concern of the Red Cross
is naturally for the sick and wounded.
Its untiring and self-sacrifcing work
in this field in furnishing needed sup
plies and personnel has been OF I'M
mense assistance to the Army, Medical
and Sanitary, corps, and has greatly
supplemented. their work by the es-
,tablishment and maintenance OF Red
Cross hospitals and convalescent
homes. Its relief work for American
prisoners of war has been Of incalcu-
liable value. Through its, organization
in Switzerland our men in enemy
prison camps were supplied with
American food, clothing and other
necessities and comforts, which be-
yond doubt saved the lives of hundreds
and mitigated the sufferings Of all.
"The canteens conducted by the Red
Cross in and near the front lines and
at railroad; stations along the lines of
communication We're invaluable during
hostilities and have continued to con-
tribute to the comfort of our soldiers
during the frequent troop movements
occurring since the armistice. The
home communication service and the
information concerning casualties have
helped maintain morale in the army
and have been a source Of the greatest
comfort and reinsurance to those at
home. The Red Cross has also con-
Quoted many incidental activities, such
as hotels, diet kitchens and recreation
huts at hospital centers. It has ex-
hibited at all times willingness to
meet promptly any emergency
whether or not strictly within the
scope of it's normal functions.
IT have dwelt upon these phases of
its work which have touched the life
of the American Expeditionary Forces
directly, but cannot forbear mention
ing the splendid work which your or
ganization has carried on in other
fields, and especially the aid which it
has brought to the destitute popula-
tion of the devastated regions Of
France and Belgium, and which it is
even now extending to other parts of
Europe.
II cannot speak too highly of the
devoted services of the individual men
and women of the Red Cross, whether
their duty lay in hospitals or training
centers along the lines of communica-
tion, or at the front.
"Please accept this letter as an ex-
preston of my appreciation to all the
splendid men and women at home and
abroad, who have thus contributed so
largely to the success of our armies.
every sincerely yours,
(Signed) John J. Pershing."

Government Insurance

Keep up your insurance, but don't
try to convert it yet-this is the ad-
vice of Washington to all soldiers,
sailors or marines, who have taken
out war risk insurance. Home Service
workers are asked to, urge discharged
men to keep up their government in
surance. It is a good provision for
the future, and cheaper than CONNER
cial policies.

site has been erected home costing
$1,oOo,ooo, and devoted solely to in
diEent members OF the order. The
structure was commenced in 1913 and
was completed in 1916. All operating
expenses are borne from the funds OF
the grand lodge. At present 10
EIks are life guests within its walls
An Elk of good standing. upon proper
certifcation Of his lodge that he is

in no manner selfish, but are devoted
to the betterment OF mankind in gen.
eral. One Of its principle objects is
to promote good-fellowship among
all men and to assists the weak and
needy. It. is, in effect. a community
organization, always ready and will
ing to do unostentatiously its full
share in all public measures apper-
tanning to civic development, no mat
ter by whom proposed or advocated.
Though every Elk is identified with
some one lodge. an Elk is an Elk
anywhere in the United States, re-
gardless OF the lodge OF which he is
a member. He is just as welcome in
the lodge of any city he may visit as
he is in his own home town lodge and
he is accorded in every Elk lodge all
The Washington times., 1919-05-13

And the support OF the home is no
burden on the Grand Lodge. It's
funds have swelled until it has be-
come an organization four-square
and sound. The millions that it in
vested in Liberty bonds are known.
The hundreds of thousands that Elk
dom gave through its war relief com
mission, meeting today in New Or
leans. are too we'll known to need re-
capituIation here. The hundreds OF
thousands more that arc being given
to aid in rehabilitating Americans
crippled in the war are recent news.
The Benevolent and Protective Or

and scope OF the order is given In the
knowledge that every city in the
United States has an Elk lodge, ana
there are very. very few towns OF
10000 population without lodge.
Many towns even smaller have Hour
iShing lodges.
In instant touch with his home
lodge by telegraph, any Elk anywhere
In the United States has no trouble
about Identification. Wherever ne
may visit, the secretary or exalted
ruler OF the lodge in the place ne
temporarily finds himself is at his
service to introduce him to anyone
he desires to meet.
The Benevolent and Protective
features of the order cannot, under
the rules OF the order, be blazoned 10
the public. Many of them have been
learned from the talk of grateful r"-
cipients of Elk help. such as the
Thanksgiving basket work, for eX-
ample. But in silence and without
boast, ElkdOm goes its way, assisting
often wholly providing for its
needy members. using its best efforts
to find employment for members seek
ing it. and without fail protecting the
women of an Elk's family to the ut
most in human power, whether those
women are in their home town or
travelling far from home. The wife,
sister, mother or daughter of an Elk
need only call on any brother mem
Der, or to telephone an Elk secretary
at the club house. The whole re-
sources Of the order are automatically
at her disposal.
Those who Are Eligible.
And any white male citizen Of the
United States of America, twenty-one
years Of age, OF good moral character,
is eligible for election to member

Officials OF Fans Association Are
just As Well Satisfied Gala
han Backed Out.

officials of the Moline Fans as
sociation feel just as well salts
fed that frankie Callahan showed
the white feather early enough to
give them an opportunity to Sc
cure one of the real topnotchers to
battle 10 rounds with Young Den
mis- of Milwaukee on Labor day
afternoon
They are not saying that Gala
han really has a streak of the well
known coloring up his spine, but
he showed a lack of spine when
he permitted himself to be inf1u-
enced by Milwaukee promoters.
This angle of the situation that
forced the promoters to get busy
and substitute frankie Fleming OF
Montreal, lightweight champion of
Canada, developed when Young
Dennis made known the facts OF
the case. He says promoters in
his home town wired him to come
there for a Labor day match. Den
mis- refused to thrown down the To-
cal organization. thus proving that
some pugs can be depended upon
to live up to their agreements.
Peeved. the ex-bTewery club got
in touch with Callahan and inform
ed him that if he showed in Mo-
line against Dennis he would be
given the cold shoulder by the
powers that be- With a vague
promise of a match with Richie
Mitchell a few weeks hence, he
pulled his stakes from Rock Island
and made for Chicago, leaving his
800 forfeit money.
This Young Dennis is a likely
looking fighter. The fact that he
defied the powers of his home city
is good evidence that he is a sin
cere battler in the ring. Hard hit
ting and aggressive, he should
provide a treat to local fight fans,
who are hungry for this kind OF an
exhibition
Fleming demonstrated his ability
recently when he toppled over
CIonie TAFT. Canadian champ. He
reached Rock Island late yester-
day afternoon but did not don his
toys for a workout. He was sched-
uled to take the kinks out of his
muscles this afternoon at Dams
gymnasium. The bugs are sit
ting back to see how this boy
shows in his training stunts be-
fore laying down their change.
Dennis has already made a good
impression and he is certain to en-
ter the ring with a huge following
behind him.
Kid Repine is working hard to
fit himself for his S-round setto
with Frank Beatty of Peoria as the
semi-windup attraction. The Kid
has not been seen in action in To-
cal rings for a long spell, but his
old following is still intact and it
is looking for him to make a neat
mess out of Beatty. The latter
sends word that he is fit. He ap
peared in two bouts in Rock Is
land last winter, both against Ed
die Summers. and each time he
fought a hard. slashing battle.
