"The marshal," says the corre

VOLUNTEERS FOR
RED CROSS ASKED
IN GREAT DRIVE
Every Resident of City Ex
pected to Enroll Before
Christmas
How many rcores of thousands of|
the men, and women, in the Har-.
risburg Red Cross Chapter district
are going to bo "volunteer" mem-'
hers during the coming membership
drive and Join without solicitation?
The Red Cross people say tlio
number will bo surprisingly large.
Here is (.he Idea as it will prob
ably work cut:
Oil every I lock In Har risburg
there will ho a house where lied
Oro s neml crshtps will he -v-wived.
The folks living in that block
na t. • t. etr dollars for •nom'xi
ship to tlia. house, receive their hut
tons, receipt stubs, and window pla
cards.
Volunteer Workers
There will be volunteer workers
on each block who will doubtless
call attention of their neighbors that
not every window in the block con
tains the Red Cross sign. That will
help a lot.
All this volunteer work will be
done in the week beginning De
cember 9.
The nation-wide Red Cross cam
paign begins December 16. Rut it
is the intention of Airs. Lyman D.
Gilbert, chairman of the local
Chapter, and William Jennings,
chairman of the Christmas rollcall,<
to line up and sign up as many
"volunteers" as possible.
Volunteers Wanted
Within a few days the 1919 hut
tons will be visible on hundreds of |
coat lapels; and the placards will be
found in many windows, as the vol
unteers get busy.
When the volunteer "push" is
over, if the entire population Fas
not yet "come through" with its
hearts and dollars, then the workers
will get busy. They will -over the
city and district thoroughly, but
their work will be greatly simpli
fied because of the volunteer mem
berships.
Plenty of Work
There is still need for the Red
Cross. The war is over, of course,
but for the next two or three years
the Red Cross will find a-plenty to
do. That is evidenced by the fact
that it is now sending many tieW
workers to France, Italy and other
European countries. Even at home
there is much wonk for 't to do.
Cost Only $1
During the recent influenza epi
demic the Red Cross In Harrisburg
and vicinity rendered invaluable aid.
It has been of great assistance
through its civilian relief branch.
Its canteen service for soldiers on
their way to tidewater, has been re
marked upon by the soldiers them
selves as the most perfect they' en
countered on their long journeys.
Red Cross memberships are only
sl. Everything else has gone up
in price, but Red Cross memberships
still remain the same.
Everybody Must Help
The coming eampatgn for
money, but memberships. It is the
hope of Airs. Lyman D. Gilbert that
when the campaign is over the iarge
majority of the people resident m
the Chapter district will have been
enrolled as Red Cross members.
"The Harrisburg dist'-'ot quota is
the population of the distric*," sa d
Chairman William Jennings this
mcrning. "In every campaign
staged in the district during the
last 20 months we have su'pass* d
what was expected of ii.t. In this
campaign we cannot surpass ex
pectations, because tve cannot get
more memberships than there ore
people—but we can at least live
up to expectations."

T. Moltz, 18 Evergreen street, in
letter received November 29, as fol
lows:
"Am glad to hear 'Beekie' and
Kenneth Boyer have enlisted, al
though I don't see why they did
not join something else besides the
marines. The marines might have
had a name back in the states, but
the old National Guard, especially
from dear old Pennsylvania, show
ed them what real lighters could do.
The marines boasted a whole lot of
what they could do, but we have put
them on the 'blink.'
"The Y. M. C. A. have been show
ing up a good time since we have
returned for a rest period after be
ing under shell lire from July 6 to
October 16. I sure have had some
experiences while upon the lines
which I would like to tell, but am not
permitted at this time. I have seen
many balloons and planes come
down in llames.
"You do not need a razor for a
close shave when a high explosive
shell hits within ten feet of you;
when we were on the Vesle river
near Fismes in August I was assist
ing in carrying the wounded from
the front line back to battalion head
quarters, about a quarter of a mile
back in a big cavern. This was in
the afternoon and the 'Boche' ob
servers could see us; we had scarce
ly started with a wounded man when
old Fritz shot three high explosives
straight at us. One struck about
ten feet away. We could not drop
the stretcher with our wounded com
rade, so we just kept plugging along
and took our chance: but luck was
with us and we kept at it all after
noon.
"We all thought we were gassed,
but it was only gas from burnt pow
der that made our eyes and throat
burn and kept us continually sneez
ing. Talk about your luck. The
night we got relieved by the second
battalion of our regiment we were
up in the town on the 1 Veslie river
watching for orders from our lieu
tenant, who has since been killed
when one of Jerry's shells made a
direct hit on the building alongside
which we were sitting, killing three
and wounding seven of our party.
"One of the boys was hit by a
piece of shrapnel in the chesi, pass
ing out of his back, lie asked me
to get him a cup of hot coffee, but
I could not get it for him. I asked
him if he could smoke a cigaret
and he said he could. He asked me
what kind I had and I showed him
a pack of Camels. You should have
seen him trying to smoke that C'amel.
He was breathing through his lungs,
' but he had a smile on his face when
the doctor dressed his wounds and
believe me that's the kind of a guy
that will get through this war. I
could tell you many more tales of
this character, but I want to forget
it. There are many rumors of peace
floating through the air, and I would
not be surprised to find the Germans
quitting any time. 1 have been made

When one of the kiddies has a white tongue, a tainted breath,
