PRISONERS OF GERMANY

William Booth, living northeast of
town, recently received letter from
two of his nephews who were but re-
prisons. The boys are strapping
fellows, whose home is in Welton,
England, where they were policemen,
but the food given them by the Ger
mans was so poor and scanty they
declare they would have died Of
starvation had it not been for the
two-pound boxes of food which they
received weekly from the American
Red Cross. This shows us how our
money, given to the Red Cross, went
to save the lives of the gallant savers
of civilization.

DRAFT BOARD THROUGH

The Local Board for Genesee
County, of which the editor was the
clerk at the time of its organization
and for a number of months subse-
quently, and of which cur fellow
townsman, Geo. A. Lacure, has been
the clerk for the past 16 months,
closed its official career last Monday.
During its career something more
than 1000 young men of the county
were examined for military service,
several hundreds of them were taken
into the army, some of them have
performed deeds of valor and sus-
tanned wounds on the battlefelds of
Europe, and others, alas, are filing
patriot graves. The Draft Boards
had a difficult mission to perform in
this emergency, and thankless one,
and to their credit, it must be said,
they did their work, generally, with
high sense of obligation to their
country and their countrymen. We
know that Mr.. Lacure was valuable
member of the board for Genesee
county and we take this opportunity
of congratulating him on the record
which he made. We would also take
this opportunity of paying a tribute
of regard to Wilbert Miller, of
Swartz Creek, with whom we served
on the board and who was member
of it during its entire official career.
Mr.. Miller is high minded, capable,
conscientious gentleman who gave
splendid service to his country in
the position he occupied.
