S. A. Drive Outlined.
Contributions Asked From All
Churches and Organizations.


A meeting of the ministers of the town
al several laymen, IN the interest of
the Salvation Army drive for $l3, 900, 900
was held at the community club room
Monday evening last. An organization
was effected with Mr.. S. R. Damuth as
chairman. The purpose of the meeting
was to devise plans whereby the people
of Thurmont district might have an
opportunity to contribute, aiming to reach
the district quota of $4,000, and support
ing the noble rescue work that the Sal
walton Army is doing. The following
plan was recommended and adopted.
That every organization within the dis
trict be requested to receive an offering
to be applied to this fund. Therefore,
the churches, lodges, moving picture par
lors, etc., will be requested to take special
collections, the total of which will be
sent to county headquarters, represent
ing the response of the Thurmont people
to the appeal for support. Those who
do not have the opportunity to give
through this method may hand their con-
tribution to any of the ministers or to
Mr. Damuth.
The campaign that was originally plan
ed to conclude May 18th has been ex-
tended to June 10th. This gives our
Thurmont people opportunity to be among
the multitudes all over our land who are
contributing to this worthy cause.
The Salvation Army's slogan is. "a
man may be down, but he is never out. I"
The men who may be "down" are lifted
by the Salvation Army workers, poverty
is relieved, crime is reduced, and impure
and unwholesome living conditions are
improved. This appeal gives US another
opportunity to help relieve suffering
humanity and to help make our own home
land better. 1t also gives US an oppor-
tunity to send Gods message of love to
those whom the church does not reach.
Our people will respond literally not
only to endeavor to meet our quota, but
chiefly that the worthy works of the
Salvation Army might advance.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much disappoint-
ed to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, collie and diarrhoea
require prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before medi-
cine could be procured or a physician
summoned. The right way is to keep
at hand bottle of Chamberlain Collie
and Diarrahoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe better medicine for these
diseases BY having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.

Haunted by Victim,
Girl Poisoner Admits
Love Prompted Act

Rotterdam, Oct. "A terrible
love tragedy has been enacted at
Leipzig.
The marriage has just been
solemnized uniting Elsa Fischback,
a young and pretty typist, to a cabi-
netmaker named Hermann Klender
The newly married couple and 20
guests were assembled at the wed
ding breakfast, at which a wedding
cake sent to the bride through the
post, and bearing a label inscribed
with words "from an old admirer,"
was eaten.
Shortly afterwards IA of of the
guests were taken seriously i'll, and
towards evening the bride and one
of the members of the party died.
The remaining portion of the cake
was then subjected to analysis and
found to have been prepared with
oil of bitter almonds.
Five days later, Johanna Mohring,
25-year-old lace maker who had
previously been betrothed to Klein
der, presented herself at the police
station and informed the Inspector
that she had prepared the cake and
sent to her successful rival out of
revenge. The girl added that she
had been haunted in her sleep by
the dead woman and had suffered so
intensely from nervousness that she
had been able to eat virtually no
food since the tragedy and had
slept at night in the courtyard Of her
house for ghostly ,visitations.

newspapers in Cork and Dublin. In
matters of the censorship Ireland
since 1916 has been subject to
marked differentiation from Great
Britain.
"The censorship was abolished
only last month. Now it is appar-
cnt that the Irish government i'll
tends to enforce at its own discre-
ton and in drastic measure the
great statutory powers it possesses.
THE right Of interference is justi-
fable only if the press is used as
an instrument of crime. We con-
slider that the press has the inalien-
able right to report faithfully the
happening of all events. Every
Irish editor should have been in full
and fair possession of the govern
ment's policy. Arbitrary selection
Of one paper or group of papers to
be made an example is a convenient
and perhaps effective method Of Sc
curing the required standard of re-
ticence on the part, of the press, but
it is monstrously unjust and would
establish, not a reign of the law,
but system of bullying.
IF these conditions of action are
disregarded there is danger not
merely to the Irish press but to the
whole fabric of justice for Ireland.
Our anxiety in this matter is not
lessened by the fact that there have
been several instances of action by
the Irish executive which even those
who sympathize with the extreme
difficulty of the task found hard
to reconcile with the belief that an
ordered statesmanlike policy has
been pursued"

Patrick D. Keeher in Regulars" for 20 Years, Says
Battles in France Did Not Compare With Condi-

Sergt. Patrick D. Kelleher, former
Omaha man, and for % years a
sergeant in the United States army,
is visiting relatives and friends in
Omaha. Sergt. Charles Slack, the,
ever sunny custodian of the TEN
pie of Patriotism" the recruiting
booth at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets, has heard his story> and
thinks it worth the telling.
incidentally, Sergeant Slack claims
to have enlisted Sergeant Kelleher
the first time.
Sergeant Kelleher is mess SER
geant of Company B, Fourth en-.
gineers, at present located at Camp
Dodge as training unit. The unit
served overseas for Is months with
the Fourth division, and saw active
fighting on four fronts. That the
sergeant fed his men we'll and was
well liked is evidenced by the fact
that they presented him with a Il
jewel gold watch and chain as a
token of appreciation.
Prior to serving in the European
war, Sergeant Kelleher was engaged
in the Philippine instruction, the
Boxer uprising in China. the Span
ish-American war, and about every
other scrap of any consequence
which Uncle Sam has carried on
for the last. quarter century. Ac-
cording to his account, the Boxer
uprising with its battles, was far
more serious than the recent world
war, in comparison to the number
OF men engaged. He says that if

plies, valued at $35,O00,0OO, pur-
chased for use with the American
army, were turned over to the Red
Cross, to be used in its war on dis
ease and death. These supplies
must be distributed promptly and
efficiently. and this distribution
means the maintenance of trained
workers in places where the supplies
are and where they are most needed
Soldiers Need Attention.
The national work centers around
the wounded and i'll soldiers who
are patients in hospitals There are
thousands of American soldiers still
suffering from the severe wounds
they received in tine war, and as
long as soldier remains in the gov
eminent hospitals there is crying
need for the Red Cross and the serv-
ice it gives.
! The organized peace work is an
other important branch of the local
service given by the Red Cross.
This includes home service work,
supplying public health nurses, in
structions in home hygiene and
dietetics, accident prevention and
hrst-aid work.
A call for volunteer workers to
conduct the third roll call has been
issued from division headquarters
in Chicago. Every chapter will re-
quire volunteer workers to assist in
obtaining the 1920 dollar member
ships for the Red Cross and each
chapter will be a recruiting Office
