WORKOUT WOMEN WORKERS
Two American Red Cross Nurses
Sought Rest at the Bottom
of a French River
ASSOCIATED Press

Bordeaux, Jan. 24.-Misses Gladys
and Dorothy Cromwell, sisters, of
New York. leaped from the rail of
the French steamer LaLorraine as the
steamer was in the Garonne river
bound for New York yesterday. Both
were drowned. The bodies have not
been recovered.
Both the young women belonged to
the American Red Cross and were re-
turning home. A letter found in their
stateroom and addressed to the COM
Eanding officer of their Red Cross
unit informed him of their intention
f'to end it ALL"
The Misses Cromwell had spent
much time at the front and friends
said thed had complained of being
tired physically and mentally.
The Cromwell sisters were twins,
% years old. They had ben in the
% years old. They had been in the
service of the Red Cross since Febru-
ary, 1918, most of the time at Chalons
Sur Marne, where they were engaged
in canteen work. For several months
they were within range of the Ger
man guns and in the midst of con-
slant airplane raids.
When the canteen closed the sisters
entered the evacuation hospitals,
where they continued work under
high pressure. Miss Barnett, the i'm
mediate superior officer of the Misses
Cromwell, told the Associated Press
that they were the best. liked and the
most devoted workers she had. Miss
Barnett believes that the reaction
from the long strain and high nervous
tension under >bombardments caused
the sisters to become respondent.
They were cheerful and happy when
they left Paris, she said.

SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERINGS
FOR THE RELIEF FUND

Ny attention has been called to the
difficulty in the minds of some as to
the gifts of Sunday schools and
churches to the relief in the Near
East. Some have thought they could
not be credited to the county quota
ard some that they should. In refer
ence to this matter, / quote from a
telegram from DR.. Julian S. Rodgers,
state director:
"Plain Sunday school offerings do
not constitute part of this campaign.
1t is a special contribution by the
children of America to the children of
Bible lands at their Christmas time"
/ / take it that by 'plain offerings"
is meant the gifts of the classes in
the Sunday schools, made at their
regular sessions. By referring to the
children it would seem that the offer
ing contemplated is to be made by
TIE children rather than the grown-up
people. / have seen some literature
concerning these offerings which
seemed to indicate that these were to
be made during our Christmas. My
judgment is that offerings in Sabbath
schools taken in connection with that
service should not be credited to the
campaign now on for relief funds, but
all offerings made in churches and
Sunday schools under the impetus of
the campaign now on should be cred
tied to the campaign.
1t is perfectly legitimate for the
churches to desire to make report of
funds so contributed in their yearly
report, and / have agreed to certify
to any church in the county the
amount contributed TO this relief fund
from the reports which pass through
my hands, copy Of which / retain.
Any of the church treasurers are at.
liberty to inspect these reports and
make UP the sums contributed by the
members of their respective churches.
What i am especially anxious about
is that the people should give, and
give literally, for the need is colossal.
John r. Herndon,
Chairman and Treasurer.

AN ADMIRER OF ROOSEVELT

1t is a well-known fact that Theo-
lore Roosevelt, tho republican. had
many friends in the democratic South,
friends who may have been the more
sincere because they had nothing to
expect from him in a political way
and admired him solely for his virile
Americanism. Not few such friends
dwelt in Ocala, and one of them last
summer sent TO Mr.. Roosevelt the fol-
lowing letter:
Ocala, Fla, August "a, 1918.
Hen. Theodore Roosevelt,
Oyster Bay, N. Y:
My dear Sir: l am a southerner-a
democrat-with no admixture either
domestic Or foreign and voted my first
time for G. Cleveland and last for
Woodrow Wilson, but have watched
aud admired you since you spoke from
the rear platform of train in Ocala,
| Florida (my home) in the nineties. /
have heard you speak also in New
York, Los Angeles and North Caro-
lima.
| followed you-literally camped on
your trail, because | was a surgeon in
the Fifth division which bivouacked a
half-mile to the north of San Juan
hill after the battle and waited on
those who were too sick to move-or
had yellow fever.
In my opinion, you have as few de-
fects as any of our presidents have
had and more of the qualifications
than many have had. / have said thar
many times to mixed crowds of men
in my community and | have often
wished that I could have an opportu-
nifty to express some kindred senti-
ment TO you personally, but have al
ways felt that my little testimonial
to your character would have been
"snowed under'' by the great volume
of such "stuff" and that possibly
even your, secretary would not have
read the letter to its end.
But now, as you stand in the pres
ence of death-not an ordinary death,
but brave, heroic giving up of life
for a purpose am moved to speak
my sympathy to a sorrowing heart
| that | know is not only great but
! thoroughly human and will appreciate
! word of comfort.
Of course you can not take any no.
/ tice of this letter. The time and work
/ to do this would make it impossible
foI any man to say nothing of the
direct expense.
| Yours very truly and respectfully,
Mr.. ROosevelt's Reply
! The Ocala man was surprised and
greatly pleased to- receive a few days
later the following note, which he viii
always treasure:
August 29th, 1918.
Nv dear Sir: l deeply appreciate
YOUR letter and thank you for 1T.
Faithfully yours,

lief that the spirit of Pericles and
Phidias is abroad in our midst, and
that the works of those ancient prod
ogies are to be repeated here by these
noble women who have taken up the

Having shown how well and hero
