TWENTY SIGN
ENLISTMENT FOR
u. S. AIR SERVICE
Business Men Lead Move.
ment In Giving Soldier
Boys a Treat Here

The Air Service recruiting de-
tachmcnt of the U. S. A. which has
been touring the New England States
arriving here late Thursday after
noon, left this morning at $50 for
Barre, Vt. The original plan was to
start at 500 but the signing of the
pay roll held them up for half an
hour.
Lieut.. Col Carmody said last night
at the dance which was given the SOL
dicrs, that st. Johnsbury was one of
the best towns he had been in for
enlistments. He said that one man
had driven in ten miles from the farm
to sign up for aviation. In all there
are twenty men who have taken out
papers for enlistment in this branch
of the service since the detachment
has been here.
A special officer is to be sent here
for two days in the near future to
receive enlistments.
The parade last night of the motor
trucks, trailers and band was viewed
by thousands of people. The street
about the band stand was jammed
with automobiles and the Court
House Park was overfowing with
pedestrians to hear the band concert
and to sec the recruiting detachment's
exhibit.
After the concert a free public
dance was held at the Armory and
the floor was crowded with dancers.
The music was furnished by Hills or
chestra supplemented by trombone
of the Air Service band. The dance
was made possible by the energies of
two of our business men who went
among their fellow tradesmen and
raised sufficient money to guarantee
a good time to the officers and men of
the detachment.
These men were c. NJ. Berry of the
Berry Ball Co., and c. E. Peck of
the Peck Co.
Dancing continued until about half
past twelve and then some of the
townspeople threw open their homes
to the boys till much later hour. All
the members of the recruiting organ
ization stated that they had enjoyed
their visit to this town to the utmost,
and that the courtesy and hospitality
of the citizens here was most strik-
ing. !

Paris, June 2.-Scores of thou
sands of American soldiers eagerly
nave grapsed the opportunity to at
tend the schools which the army now

american Expeditionary Force, un-
der the direction of the Educational
Corps.
The post schools which are pri-

Through the mud of some little ham,
let where American soldiers are sta
tioned, one is likely to stumble upon
such a school in full operation. An
army chaplain recently chanced upon
such a school the pupils of which
were standing on benches because
the floor was under six inches of
water and in room dimly lighted
by candles stuck in bottles. The SER
geant-teacher was using a piece of
tarred paper as a blackboard. 1t
was IL o'clock at night and fourteen
men whose military duties prevented
them from attending in regular
hours composed the extra class.
This little scene is symbolic of the
spirit with which the American SOL
diers have taken advantage of the
educational training offered them by
the army school system.

In commenting on the record of $75,-
100000 war contributions to the Red
Cross by the British people during
the period from 1915 to 1918, inclu-
sive, says this must easily be a
record collection for charitable pur-
poses" Admitting that the amount
does not equal that raised for the
American Red Cross, the Truth OBJ
serves that the general total of VOL
untary giving for war purposes in
England must have been something
without precedent in that country's
history"
Contributions to the American
Red Cross from the date of the en-
try of the United States into the
war, on April s, 1917, to the present
are roughly estimated at about $780,
100000. This amount was raised
mainly in two donation drives"
which brought in $106, 100000 and
$3.50. 100000, respectively, and two
membership drives in which A.
100000 membership signatures with
a minimum of one dollar each (many
were for much larger sums) we're
obtained.
The cost of administration, it
was stated by an official of the At

frayed by the Red Cross member

lar contributed $1.02 was made avail

bank interest. L. ]. Hunter, comp
