strong inclination in many quarters to
disagree with him. Soldiers who served
overseas already have taken up the cud-

Sir Sam opened his attack with the
announcement that he had protested sev.
eral times to Premier Borden against
the waste of Canadian boys lives in I'M
necessary stunts on the battlefield He
then read a letter he had sent to Sir Rob
ert protesting against what he termed
needless slaughter at Cambria, and stat
ing that he had drawn the attention OF
the prime minister ON previous occasions
to the massacre at Lens, Passchen-
dacle, etc, where the only apparent
object was to glorify the general in com
mand and make it impossible, through
butchery, To have fifth and sixth divi-

CHARLESTOWN GETS

Late Playwright's Residence Passes

is In Run Down Condition.

By virtue cf final transfer papers,
the homestead in Charlestown, ~ H.,
of the late Charles H. Hoyt, play
wright, has passed to the ownership
of the town. What disposition of it
will be made is unknown, but it is
surmised that purchaser will appear
Much interest has attached TO the
story of this property. At the death
of Mr.. Hoyt, November 20, 1900, il
passed by request to The Lambs of
| New York, to be maintained as a s'pas
| ture for invalid lambs'' A succession
of owners was provided, the next being
| the Actors Fund of America. Mr..
| Hoyt's friend, Frank Mckee, as res
iduary legatee, had an interest. If both
/ clubs ceased to exist, the property might
revert to the town of Charlestown, but
with the curious provision in the will
that the 'sineome' from the property
should forever be "expended in main
/ tanning the main and side streets upon
which my property fronts.
! For the eighteen years that have
elapsed since Charles Hoyt's death all
parties have accepted the terms of the
| will. But there came time, some years
Iago, when The Lambs began to look
upon their Request as something of q
/ white elephant. With Hoyt no longer
there to enact the generous host. the
lplaee lost its drawing power, and OF
Hate only few disabled actors have
I been benefited by it. The expense OF
iupkeep increased, and the appearance
of the property was so discredItable tt
its owners and TO the lovely village III
the heart of which it lies, that many
lattempts were made to buy the proper
I tv, so that it might be improved But
The Lambs We're deaf to such advances
Last summer, however, a change came
over their councils, and it was decided
to step out. After weeks Of effort III,
signatures of the other benefeiaries nm
der the will were secured, and then thu
final transfer took place. 1t is now the
property of the town of Charlestown. II

The Public Mind


Editor The Times-Decorder-
While reports on the third Red Cross
roll call are not complete enough to
make possible a statement for publ
Stion, we feel we owe it to the news
papers to let them know all that we
know regarding the outcome of the
tampaign.
At present, this is very little. We
hOw that the Southern division has
not as yet reached its full quota, but
We know that already more members
have been enrolled than were enroll
cd last year, and we believe when all
chapters are heard from quota will
be very nearly reached. We are in
formed, too, from Washington that
he Southern division compares fav-
aably with any in the country. IN
der the circumstances, we feel that
the result has been splendid.
We are deeply sensible of the fact
that this would never have been pos

you, I want to take the occasion to
Express the utmost appreciation of
The Red Cross for your help.
In this campaign, as in others, we
have had our troubles. We have
found lukewarm support in some
places, and none at all in others. We
have had much to contend with, be-
ause so many people do not seem to
realize just what value the Red
Cross is to the community and the
country. 1t has been notable fact
IN the third roll call, however, that
he newspapers as class have shown
more genuine understanding OF the
irritable necessity of the Red Cross
to the nation and to the community,
d its universal benefit in the past
md Of the merit Of its program for
the future, than has any other group
h the nation. Their realization of
The real Red Cross resulted in such
7hOlehearted support editorially and
their news columns that no other
agency contributed more to the sue
