their lives. 1t had furnished them
with entertainment and other enjoy
ment and aid while In camp, but the
great majority had never felt the need
of the Red Cross before entering the
service and they reasoned they would
not need It's assistance now that they
were out of it again.
Since that time many thousands
have learned to know otherwise. The
Red Cross was their friend In the
service and they naturally turned to
1t when trouble and complications be-
set them in civilian life.
Nearly a Million Aided.
Through the Home Service Section
which has taken up the task Of car.
they leave the service, and their famf
lies and dependents, nearly a millior
men have been given assistance Of
various kinds. This consists princi
pally of financial aid, finding Jobs

are beginning to realize some ides

are handled from each state almosl

Great service has been rendered by

personal difficulties for the men. The
workers also follow up and aid all
men who discontinue training.

PERSHING'S TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

"It gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for its greatest
service comes during times Of
war, and it's achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there Is
and perhaps there always will
be a vital need for the humani-
tartan work which it renders.
1.-THE present and former serv-
ice men can never forget the
Red Cross, not only for what 1t
did for them during the war,
but for what it is doing now In
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed in assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as a peace
time organization can hardly be
over-estimated, and we owe it
our loyal support and active CO.
operation.

General"

CANADIAN VISITORS
EXPECTED IN CITY
TODAY NOT COMING
Tour From Lethbridge Cancel
led at Eleventh Hour; Lunch
con Is Called Off.

Eleventh hour cancellation of the
Lethbridge special. due to leave Leth-
bridge, Alberta, Saturday night, and to
arrive in Great Falls this Sunday
morning, was announced to Secretary
Scott Leavitt of the Commercial club
Saturday afternoon by wire from the
Lethbridge chamber of commerce.
No reason was given in the telegram
to Secretary Leavitt for calling off the
trip, but letter of explanation is fol
lowing. The tour was cancelled about
a week ago, but was again revived, and
it is thought that the Canadian boosters
found it impossible to again secure the
adequate number to get a special train.
The cancellation of the trip automatic
ally calls off the picnic luncheon planned
on Lewis and Clark island below the big
falls for this afternoon, and the auto
mobile trip about the city. Secretary
Leavitt also announced last evening that
the special Commercial club luncheon
billed for Monday noon in the Palm room
of Hotel Rainbow, was also cancelled.

THREE DWELLINGS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Outlying City Block Threat ened By Distance of Fire
 Plug

Flames that for a time seemed to threaten the entire block, but were finally checked after they had completely razed three residences and partly destroyed two others, with total fire and water damage of nearly $2o,00O, occurred about 7:90 o'clock last night when the resi- dence of Amos Morrison, corner of Sev- enteenth avenue and North Thirty-sec- ond street, caught fire from spark front the chimney.
 Before the fire burst from the roof, the whole upper floors of the Morrison residence were a mass of flames. Owing to the distance of the nearest fire plug over 5000 feet of hose were laid by the firemen before stream of water could be gotten on the fire. By that time the flames had spread from the Morrison residence to the single story structure next door and in a few minutes it too was a mass of roaring flames.
 A big touring car was driven from a house in the rear of the yard just before the garage caught on fire. By this time the flames had spread to the servant houses on the rear of each of the lots, and soon both the houses facing the street, the servant houses and the garage were in mass of flames
 On account of the great length of hose used only one stream was thrown on the burning buildings. Not until the houses were nearly destroyed did a pump engine arrive upon the scene By that time, witt nesses say, the houses were too near
