CITY Point, Va, Az. 1864
To Major General Meade: Have you
any estimate of our losses III the mis-
cradle failure of Saturday? I think
there will have to be an investlga-
Ion of the matter. Preparations
were good, order ample, and every
thing, so far as l could see, previous
to the explosion of the mine, shows
that almost without loss the crest
could have been carried. This would
have given us Petersburg, with all It's
artillery and large part of the gar
,rison. An intercepted dispatch states
that the enemy recaptured their lines
with General Bartlett and staff, sew
enty-fve commissioned officers and
nine hundred rank and file, and re-
captured five hundred of their men.
Such blunder | have never known:
l will now invite your attention to
ne happening of these thrilling
events as seen from the Confederate
side. General Lee with his charac-
terist.e ;i'ltafulness and conservation

fvices not only in personal way in
thousands of homes entered by afiic,
ton but to extend the benefit of their
experience and knowledge in teach
ing the basic principles Of health and
hygiene and proper care Of the sick
lin homes where such things have been
funheard of.
Everywhere this service has been
installed there have been demands
from neighboring sections for a
nurse. Soon it must extend to every
neighborhood of every county or par
ish. in the South. The Roll Call re-
sponse makes this service possible.
And then these nurses form re-

mediately in cases of national stress
or local calamity. There was no
flood, cyclone, or fire in the South
during the year of 1921 that did not
find a force of Red Cross nurses,
properly equipped and ready for the
most arduous service, on the scene
within twelve hours after the d.Sa>-

Should another, war come, these
these nurses would form the nucleus
of the same splendid Red Cross or

These are just few Of the phases
that the organization is undertakin2
in its peace program. The success o.
all other activities naturally depends
on the response of communities to

Hal. KOHN CHAIRMAN
FIFTH ROLL CALL

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. S.-The accept
anee of the appointment as Roll Call
chairman Tor Newberry Of Mr.. Hal
Kohn mas been received at headquar-
ters of the Southern Division of the
American Red Cross. Mr.. Kohn will
Immediately begin active work of or
ganization to make the Roll Call the
most far-reaching in. the history OF
Newberry.
;. Increased and extended activities OF
the Red Gross make this appointment
one of tremendous importance this
year. -, ~
Activities of the Red Cross are so
extensively enlarged that maximum
membership must be obtained in or
der that the growing demands made
on the organization may be met.
The work of the Red Cross for dis
abied veterans of the World war and
members of their families has reach
ed absolutely staggering proportions.
The numbers of soldiers in hospitals
under government care has grown
from 5000 in 1919 to $4,000 in 1921
and the new year is expected to see
this number increased in even great
er proportion.
The work that the Red Cross has
undertaken in connection with the
ex-soldier is to furnish the connect
ing link between the veteran and his
family that needs aid on the one hand
and the government that is glad to
furnish this aid on the other. The
Red Cross has realized that there
must be a humanizing element con-
Meeting the man and the compensa-
tion or hospital treatment furnished
by the bureaus at Washington. The
man can not regain his health in a
government hospital when he realizes
that his loved ones at home may be
suffering in the meanwhile. He can
net acquire the new usefulness that
vocational training strives to give him
if he thinks that while he is working
to attain this usefulness, the folks
back home are feeling the pangs of
privation.
Finding work Tor these veterans,
seeing to it that in this work they are
permitted to enjoy the privileges
that were theirs before they answered
their, country's call, are functions
that come within the scope of endeav-
or of the Red Cross.
During the current year the Red
Cross spent S1O,000,O00 on this SOL
dier work and more money was need
ed and needed desperately. The fifth
Roll Call makes it its aim to see that
every single case is adequately pro-
vided for.
Hardly less important is the work
undertaken by the Public Health
Nursing service of the Red Cross. A
brave little army of nurses hos been
widely scattered over vast terrain
in the South in the best tactical posi-
tions to give the benefit of their SER.

Oscar Johnson of w. Madison street
driver for the Moline Consumers
gravel company of west of this city,
narrowly escaped being seriously
burned early this morning, when his
truck burst into flames while he was
attempting to start the engine by
means of patent starting apparatus.
However, Johnson escaped without
any injury, although his machine was
damaged to an extent of approxim-
ately $25.
Johnson, who leaves the car in
garage at the Thomas Yasm residence
in West Ottawa, was attempting to
warm the engine up so that he could
start it. He had a patent contraption
with which to start it, Gasoline had
to be poured first into the apparatus
after which a match is applied to the
combustible. Johnson did that all
right but as he was applying the star
ter to the machine an explosion fol
lowed and the entire front end of the
truck burst into flames.
He summoned the fire department.
Chemicals were used and after a few
minutes work the firemen succeeded in
checking the flames The insulation
was burned off all the wires. The
garage was not damaged.

Christmas cheer spread through
the city into the homes of the rich
and the poor alike To-Day, as the fit
tering snow flakes heraded a white
Christmas for the city. Last minute
shopping was completed dinner was
being prepared for big Christmas
spreads in most of the homes thru
out the city, and the general rush and
buzz preceding Christmas eve was
noticed on every hand
While merchants declare fewer
gifts will be exchanged in Ottawa
this Christmas. no one will be for
gotten, heads of charitable institu-
tions declared today.
The Salvation Army has conducted
a campaign to secure Christmas toys.
which old Santa will distribute into
the homes of the poor kiddies of the
city tonight,
Dinners will also be furnished all
the needy families. Automobiles
started out from the Elks home this
morning loaded up with heavy bas-
kets filled with Christmas dinners
for eighty-five poor families. These
were the Christmas dinners the men,
bers Of ottawa lodge, No. 5SS, B. p.
o. E., had furnished for the families
OF the less fortunate throughout the
city. Each basket contained five
pound boneless ham, peck of pota-
toes can of peas, a can of pork
and beans, stalk Of celery, loaf
of bread and a number of apples.
Great secrecy was displayed by the
Elks in keeping the names of the
families who were helped by the Elks
a secret, and no one but the exalted
ruler, P. G. Schoch who conducted
the Investigations after the baskets
had been turned into him, knew the
identity of the families. Enough food
was placed in each basket for din
ner and supper for large family.
Names of seventy-six families were
on the list who secured dinners from
the fund raised by the Free Trader
Journal for the Salvation Army. The
baskets containing the food that this
money purchased was sent out today.
Each basket contained chicken, po-
tatoes. corn, jelly, coffee, milk, bread,
butter. rutabagas. a large stalk of
celery, sugar, cookies and both laun-
dry and toilet soap, so that family
could be we'll washed up for the
Christmas dinner.
The money to purchase this food,
was raised by voluntary subscrip-
tions collected by the F. TT from
the good fellows of Ottawa. Many a
home which otherwise would have
gone practically dinnerless on Christ
mas day, will be well fed tomorrow
through the generosity of the Ottawa
people, who of their own volition
came forward to spread the Christ
mas cheer, into the homes of kiddies
whose parents were ill, out of en-
ployment or whose mothers were wild
owed.
If any money is left from the fund
when the bills are paid it will be
used to purchase food for the real
destitute on New Years day.
The baskets were all packed and
delivered by the Salvation Army cap
tain this morning.

Wrads of the county will also be
well cared for on Christmas.

BASKET FUND CLOSES
WITH $220.tO.

Yesterday an error threw the
Christmas basket fund $500 off
kilter--not in the grand total, but
in the list of donors. Annonymou.
was credited with giving only $500
when it should have read a nice
five dolIare william.
Today marks the close of the
campaign for Ottawa's unfortu-
mates. The Salvation Army, for
whom the fund was gathered and
toward which contributions were
literally made, announced that
while there is a shortage, the sum
derived from the campaign covers
the bulk of the cost of supplying
baskets for sixty-seven needy
homes. The drive netted untold
benefits in another way, Scores
of families will be taken care of
by individuals not connected with
the Salvation Army as a result of
the Free Trader-JournaIs attempt
to awaken Ottawa's dormant bia-
ness of heart, which needed only
just such thing to cause it to
loosen its purse strings and "dis
i'm deep to make everybody happy
on Christmas day.
And that is what the Salvation
Army wanted for an absolute quar-
antee that none will be missed.
