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.

SATURDAY EVENING,
TOT ASKS SANTA
TO BRING VIOLIN
Doris Powell, Six Years Old,
Has Practiced Year to Play
in Church Tomorrow
DORIS POWELL
Last year, shortly before Christ
mas, Doris Powell, the little girl in
the picture above, wrote a letter to
Santa Claus asking him to bring her
a violin. 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."
