6 PERSONA L—SOCIA L HOW RED CROSS WORKSIN CHINA Donald Carruthers Tells How Chapter in Peking Assists Many Men in Siberia Donald Carruthers, son of Mr. and Mrs, James B. Carruthers, who is with the Princeton work In China writes recently of Red Cross work in China, the letter following: November 5, 1918, Peking, China, Dear Mother and Father: It is after ten p. m„ and I am still in the building at my desk, having finished some Red Cross duties which devolve upon me as secretary of the Peking chapter. I can assure you that there are a great many things to be attended to in connection with the routine of the chapter. This chapter, ns are the others In China, are trying to supply the needs of the men in Siberia which. In our minds out here, seems but a day or so off while from you it is n matter of tVeeks and months. Our Chapter has other connections with the Siberian campaign for a unit of Red Cross doctors and nurses from Peking is serving with the forces. It has been found advisable to make woolen gar ments that can be knitted rather than on a whole host of bandages which may never be used because of the over abundance of the supply. I was invited by the wife of the Italian commandant to attend a spe cial performance of jtalian war photos taken from the front and shown in moving pictures. The mountains with their glistening snow and struggling men, who were anxious to secure vic tory at any cost were quite inspiring to me. I could not help feeling, that if earthly kings can demand and re ceive Buch devotion and sacrifice for the cause of Justice. The King of Kings should certainly be able some day to call forth a like devotion to the cause of justice, the King of dom here upon earth. The impelling scenes of sacrifice as shown by the men who were waging the great con flict on that front came home quite vividly. I heard a man say yester day in my room, "after the war, this place out here will be swamped with men who want to get a real job in pushing forward Christ's kingdom here in China." Earl W. Killinger. who is connected with the ConstrgctingwQ. M. Depart ment at Hampton, Va.. is spending the holidays at his home, 1922 Chest-J nut street. | Poiilld j jj Gorgas Drug Stores j i 16 N.

That good old saint, lover of children, responded of course, for how could he refuse such a nice little girl? And this year, the child is going to show her appreciation to "Santa" to-morrow at the Bethle hem Lutheran Church by playing the old carol, "Holy Night" at the Christmas entertainment of the Sun day school. Although but six years old, this is Doris' second public appearance, her lirst being last June at the re cital of Sara Lemer's violin pupils. She is the happy little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard G. Powell, 1218 Green street. [POOR OF CITY CERTAIN TO GET GOOD DINNER f Christmas Food For Scores of Needy Assured by the Salvation Army HIS SHARE Early this morning Captain Myers Neilsen, officer in charge of the Salvation Army was awak ened by a heavy knock on the door of headquarters, 456 Ver beke street. When he went down to answer the summons, a man carrying a big armful of books, appeared. "Can you use these for the children?" was the question. "My youngster's gone to the army and there's something here the other children might like." "What's your name?" the cap tain inquired. "Never mind about my name! Here's something else," and the captain found a five-dollar bill in his hand. Have you given your share to j make the poor kiddies of Harris- ! burg happy on Christmas Day? j Captain Neilsen of the Salvation Army will help you act as Santa J , Claus if you'll send him your i ' check, to 456 Verbelte street. 1 People of Harrlsfeurg like the: idea of beihg Santa Claus to the de serving poor children and families I of the city. At least that's what Cap tain Myers Neilsen, officer in charge I of the Salvation Army says. Toward | a fund of SI,OOO for the Army's] Christmas dinner to these deserving poor, approximately S3OO has al ready been contributed. This report Is the total to noon to-day. The contributions are considered very satisfactory when it is remem bered {hat the appeal was mad e only three days ago. "Of course we need more money," said the captain. "Th e Lord will prompt His people to send us the money we need." It is not money alone that is pour ing into th e headquarters. This morning came a little doll and a toy automobile. Books, rag babies and jars of fruit are coming, too. The people of the city are contribu ting without^tint. Another note came to Captain Neilsen this morning in which a woman told of the kindly treatment her son had received from the Sal- | vation Army workers in France. The soldier was transferred from one sector to another. He was tired and without enthusiasm when a Salva tion Army lassie invited him into the hut with his companions. When the lassies played and sung and brought hot chocolate and the every-day things that become luxuries in the front line trenches, these kindly acts put new vigor into the fellows and they carried the German trenches. "You've helped my boy! I'll help you!" said the woman and a check came with th e letter. Just now Captain Neilsen is in a quandary. In the possession of the Salvation Army is a motorcycle, but It won't go. So Captain Neilsen needs an automobile. None has been forth coming, and he must get a machine to collect gifts. He has asked the newspapers to call for an automo bile. "We want th e loan of the car for the Christmas season," he said. At Stevens Memorial Methodist Church, Thirteenth and Vernon streets, to-morrow will be Christmas Giving Day. A goodly portion of the gifts will be sent to the Salvation Army. "The little tots who .pro not as fortunate as ours will be made happy through this plan," said Dr. Clayton A. Smucker, pastor. "We ar e going to do all in our power."
