Private Buckson, Cassed,
Has Completely Recovered

Private Harold Buckson, Company
NJ, 10th Inf. was gassed in fight
near st. Quentin, after his gas mask
had been partly shot away by a
pleinter from d shell, while his divi-
sion aided gloriously in the work of
smashing the Bindenburg line, and
after four weeks in a British base
hospital and two weeks convalescing
in Trouville and South Hampton,
England, he is now well and happy
again. Private Buckson had recov-
cred in time to join in the celebra-
ton of the Allied victory. 'Trouville
went wild with JOY" says Private
Buckson in letter to friend here,
and every Yank was kissed by the
girls and women of the charming lit
tie seaside resort. In fact, there has
been so much kissing that l am
afraid to venture into the street." is
his naive confession. "Of course. we
are all glad the war is over and that
the good old U. S. A. was the decid-
ing factor, but amid the general
jubilation I am saddened by the men
of my company and division who, to
make victory certain, have gone
west. But they went in the glorious
company of Australians and Canadi-
ans who, like our own Yanks, are the
cleanest and bravest fighters in the
world"
Private Buckson is the son of Rev.
Wilson C. Buckson, of Vienna, Nd.
He volunteered his services at the
outbreak of the war, joining New
Yorll's crack regimnet, the old 7th,
now the 10th, in the 9th Division,
and trained at Spartensberg, S. c.

Editor Of The Banner:
Sir.-The increasing prevalence of
| influenza, with its pneumonia, and
oftentimes death, has made it incum-
| bent upon the directors and staff of
the Hospital here to reopen the
! Cambridge Annex Hospital, formerly
the dupont Maternity Hospital
Mr.. dupont has very graciously
turned this institution over to the
directors of the Cambridge Maryland
Hospits with most of it's equipment
| intact. 1t was necessary to raise five
hundred dollars to replace the equip
ment removed, and this amount will
have to be increased, as we find there
are many things we need that were
not thought of at first.
To the honor of the town, as we'll
as themselves, and with truly won
| derful humanitarian spirit, two citi-
| ZenS of Cambridge at once came for
ward and offered this money. This
noble deed ought not to pass I'M
noticed and unknown to the people
and these two gentlemen, who have
! been so generous and charitable as
! to deserve the thanks of the entire
community, arc Colonel Albanus
Phillips and Mr. W. Grason Winter
! bottom.
Now we must have money to main
tain this building. Two years ago
the State would gladly have taken
this building over and maintained it.
, The State Board Of Aids and Chart
ties had recommended the appropria-
ton, but Mr.. duPont's agent here
prevented us from getting this ap-
preparation by telling the Commit
tee that he was not sure whether or
not Mr.. DUPONT desired it, even tho
application for same was made with
Mr.. duPont's consent. Therefore, it
becomes necessary for us to raise 81,
500 or $4,000, and intend to make
a personal appeal to the business
men of Dorchester county to give us
this money. I know something of
their width of vision and charitable
| instincts; they have never failed to
put up the money for anything that
is for the public good. 1. therefore,
appeal to all classes of people, and
particularly those who have money,
to aid us in this emergency.
Day after day 1 come across cases,
young men and women particularly,
who are dying, and who could have
been saved had they been in the hos
pital.
All contributions should be sent

Vienna Items

One of the widowers has become
very infatuated with one OF the
young ladies of Vienna, and while in
conversation with him the other day,
upon the subject of matrimony, he
seemed very much discouraged, but
we could see that he was a long way
from giving up courage. We are al
ways ready to do what we can to re-
lieve pain, suffering and neglect, so
quoted little scripture to him, which
seemed to do him lots of good: THE
race is not to the swift, nor the bat
tie to the strong. but to him that en-
try it.
Don't you think the Hurlock wild
over was around again Thursday
and he was in his closed car. Well
he was making himself useful among
the ladies, taking two out at time,
and you ought to have seen him,
with his face covered with smiles.
The Flu epidemic seems to be
raging again. There are several
families affected, namely, Mr.. Ben
nett's family, and the children of Mr..
VIM. P. Mills. The members of Mr..
Sheridan Wheatley's family are
rapidly improving.
Mr.. Jas. A Quitting received a let
ter from his son, Howard, who is in
France, stating that he expects to be
home soon; also that he was well
and enjoying life.
We understand that Sport has pur-
chased fine cow, and with his pur-
chase receives a milking machine,
but the machine proves of more val
ue to the cow than to Sport.
Mr.. Roland Marshall has returned
to his home at Leonardtown, after
visiting relatives and friends here.
Mr.. Lloyd S. LeCompte has re-
turned home, after visiting friends
and relatives in Baltimore.

.ElWOOD HAYNES ON
MEMORIAL COMMITTEE

Elwood Haynes, inventor Of Aneri-
ca q first car. and president or Inc
haynes Automobile company. ko-
komo, Indiana, has been named as
member of the executive committee
of the Roosevelt Memorial association
according to a recent announcement
CT the personnel of the Indiana state
organization. The committee, ac-
cording to William Boyce Thompson,
president of the national organization,
is nonpartisan, including represen-
tatives of all political parties
A campaign will be conducted
during the week of October 20-27 for
funds for the memorial.
The goal set for the campaign Is
$1,000, 900, with which 1t is proposed
70 erect n monument in Washington
and also to establish national play
ground for children at oyster Bay.
Included in this playground will be
Colonel Roosevelt's house, Sycamore
Hill. with the great Americans tro-
plies and mementoes.
Former President William Fl. Taft
ard former Chief Justice Charles f.
Hughes are honorary presidents of
the memorial association.
In speaking of the appointment Of
Mr. Haynes on the committee. one
Of his friends stated last night that
the selection was a most fitting one.
Theodore Roosevelt was a plain,
one hundred per cent American he
said. "and he liked men who went
cut and accom- plished things in the
face Of odds. Elwood Haynes is such
a man. He produced the automobile
under real difficulties, but he wasn't
discouraged The laughter of his
neighhors served merely as a spur to
greater effort. Theodore Roosevelt
fought against odds in politics He
fought for the square deal and against
corruption and wrongdoing. For this
reason 1t Is happy circumstance that
links the names of these two pioneer
Americans
