WITH THE AEF IN NORTH
ERIN IRELAND. Jan. 27-R-
From the vast wheat-fields Of
Minnesota and the tall corn of
Iowa, from the teeming factories
of the cities-from nearly every
one of the midwestern states
and some others besides-came
the first American Expedition
airy force to land on these embat
tied islands in World War II.
They came to port yesterday
in a convoy of dirty grey ships,
crossing the submarine invested
Atlantic without the loss of "a
single life.
DRAFTEES, REGULARS
Hardened regular army troops,
and many youthful selectees
wearing the khaki for just a year
made up the vanguard Of several
thousand American fighting
men of the second AEF.
Like their fathers who pre-
coded them in the last war over
two decades ago, these eager and
vital men from the farms and
factories and barracks were
"rarin' to CO."
Most of them were from the
middle west.
eLike soldiers the flaming
world over, one OF their chief in
terests was girls.
To British soldiers snapped to
attention as the Yanks marched
toward their encampment, their
first question with a grin was:
What are the girls like?"
ASK QUESTIONS
And they also wanted to know
where they were going and
where they were to fight. But
the answers to these grimmer
questions were couched in mill
tary secrecy.
The crowds of flag waving,
cheering Britons that greeted
their fathers of the last war
weren't at the docks yesterday
But the Yanks were not surpris-
ed.
With full knowledge that grim
months of training and the dead

Auxiliary Corps-a feminine
force of volunteers between the
ages of 20 and As for active SER

The pay for the women yolun-

MURFREESBORO, Tenn, Jan.
27-(P)-A shipboard friendship
sent the former Jean Marie Fair

Washington sources said ii

Fort Mills on the island fortress
of Corregidor in Manila bay.
Her brother, Cameron Faircloth
of Nashville, said he had learned
she was safe but had had no
direct word from her since
the wars outbreak.
But about that shipboard

It wasn't the General whom
Miss Faircloth met on a trip to
the Orient in the mid-30's, but
his mother. Through this &C.
quaintance came the introduce

quently of "the General. But
only few intimates knew that
when she left home in April of
1887 she was going to New York
to wed the soldier, several years
her senior.
Murfreesboro remembers her
as the small, very attractive
brunette daughter of q well-to-
do banker and business man.
A genuine interest in people was
manifest IN her ready friendli-
ness although she limited her So
cial activities to members of
her family and a small number
of close friends.
Her ties with the "home
town" have been maintained
since She went to Manila with
the General. Frequent letters
and snapshots of herself and
their small son, Arthur, now 3,
have enabled friends to follow
her activities.

Letter Box

To The Editor:
There is the kind of killing
that comes with war and bombs
and bullets. The Red Cross in
various ways alleviates the con-
sequences o, such. There is an
other kind of killing.
Our young folks are prodded
and pushed to be patriotic and
do their Bit; they are urged to
work and give n d sacrifice.
Some of them have done that,
are doing il, or ARE WILLING
TO but THAT is WHERE THE
KILLING COMES. The snuff
fling out of ambition.
THE WILL TO WORK FOR
THE RED CROSS is being
strangled. 1t came about in this
manner. Several high school
girls responded to a call to knit
for the Junior Red Cross with
Miss Grocer, Latin instructor,
as director. These volunteers
met at the high school last week
Monday evening but found
themselves with only enough
yarn to learn to cast on the
stitches. Perhaps the supply
would increase by the next
meeting, was their hope. The
next meeting was the same,' II
not only more disappointing. AS
far as it is apparent there will
be no material to work with
forthcoming.
Are the Junior Red Cross
workers expected to furnish
their own yarn? That Is fine il
they are in a position to do so,
but many of these girls can
afford nothing more than the':.
time and work.
This is an appeal to all read
ers Of The Daily Monitor to take
to heart personally the WORK
of these girls and encourage
them to good. better, and best
endeavor in this grand service.
Would all ladies who have
yarn about the house not in use,
or garments which could be
raveled, or contributions intend
ed directly for the Junior Red
Cross, please send them quick
ly and directly to Miss Grocer
at the High School Building?.
The Red Cross girls will thank
you and the boys in service will
thank you many times.
The writer of this article is
the mother Of one C: these
Junior girls and she thanks you
too.
