mrs. ]. s. EVERETT
CHAIRMAN OF RED
CROSS ROLL CALL

Plans for the enrolment of the
citizens of Augusta in the American
Red Cross though the annual Roll
Call of the organization have been
comp led by Mrr S. Everett
and MS. George Otis ~-0ncer. who
heads the Poll Call committee. Their
plans which have been carefully
worked out call for a thorough house
to house canvas of the city which
has been divided into districts.
Although the campaign officially
opens on November II it is planned
to make it intensive through the
week of Nov. Is and it is hoped to
complete the enrolment of member
ships by the afternoon of Nov. 90.
Mrs. Everett, Chairman of the Roll
Call in an interview Wednesday at
ternoon, explained the different types
of membership and told how men,
berShip dues are expended.
While the Red Cross depends prim-
arily for its funds for national and
international work upon dollar men,
berships, preferring to keep the or
ganization as democratic as possible,
three other types of annual member
ship are provided. the chairman stat
ed. Explaining these she said:
THE four annual types involve
fees of 81, SIS, $40 and $25 annually.
From each of these memberships a
half dollar goes to National Head
quarters at Washington, for national
and international work The balance
remains in the treasury of the local
chapter and is used to finance local
Red Cross work. For instance, from
a $25 membership, S24.50 stays at
home and fifty cents goes to Wash
ington. Upon these dues the organi-
cation is entirely depondent for funds
to carry on its work.

The John Abbott Stores has a

Colonel Sherman n. Shumway,
Speaking At Kiwanis Club
Luncheon, Draws Vivid Pic
ture From History On Terri
BILE Consequences of Pacifst
Policy

Affirming his belief in the World
Court. Colonel Sherman n. Shumway
of Skowhegan in addressing the Au-
gusta Kiwanis Club at it's weekly
luncheon session Wednesday noon at
the Augusta House sounded the note
of warning for the United States not
to let up in preparedness until it is
ready for the court. The necessity
for preparedness, first and always,
WAS the theme expounded by the
speaker, who showed that the proof
is in the lessons drawn from history.
A stirring message hristling with
pithy reminders brought the spirit of
Armistice Day to the Kiwanians. The
speaker needs little introduction to
Maine audiences. who know him by
his brilliant record in the World War,
going through the ranks from private
to lieutenant colonel, or second in
command of the 103rd Regiment. His
discourse yesterday was replete with
points worthy of careful consideration
by thoughtful people.
Col. Shumway was introduced by
President Frank E. Mace as scholar
and service man, one of that group
who offered to give their lives that we
might be here today.
Meaning of ArInistice
Atmistice Day means different
things to as many different individ-
uals as you might ask, declared Col.
Shumway in referring to the signifi-
canoe of the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month
of the year. To the soldier who was
at the front it means day of re-
joicing.
Some two or three months before the
armistice in 1918 the entire method of
the Great War was changed. The at
lacks We're made by the men at the
front rather than by the reserve troops
as had been the custom: and the at
tacks were made with definite objec-
tives considerable distance away
rather than by the process of short
thrusts as formerly. From July un-
til Armistice Day all of the available
units of the allied armies launched a
counter-offense and there was no ces-
sation of attacks by the allied forces.

BILLION FRANCS SPENT FRANCE
 U. s. TOURISTS
FRANCE BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

PARIS, Jan. 8. (P)-Franc9' sum- mer tourist season resulted in the leaving of ten. billion francs in the country by American and British vis- itors. That was the sum spent by guests of these two nations during June, July and August, according io figures published by the tourist bu- reau
 The summer tourist season lasts approximately 100 days and experts have figured out that at least $5O0,- OOOOOO was spent by Frances wis., itors during that period.
 With the winter season along the Riviera now in full swing and with dollars and pounds flowing into the banks of Southern France, LIE FL ARGO says "this situation consti- tutes a bright ray of sunshine in Frances otherwise cloudy vnancial affairs, and should dissipate some of the hesitations of the holder of the cabinet portfolio of finance.

The Paris winter theatrical season is marked by the popularity of mu- sical comedy, as distinct from the native French operetta and by the number of melodramas of modern life. The influence of the motion pictures is apparent in many places of the latter type. For instance the heroine of one runs a garage while another is a book publisher.
 There have been few failures this season. The young author has no room for complaint against the Paris producers treatment of him, for many plays by new men are being put on. A new theater near the Opera re- gently opened with a play by a 24- yar-old playwright, Jacques Natason. The Odeon Theater has produced a play based on Florence Barclays novel of some 15 years ago, the "Ro- sary," which promises to be an un- usual success. It has caused many critics to lament that play of this sentimental character should survive and occupy the stage of Frances second National theater.
