The Red Cross Work.
At the theatre on the occasion of
a recent date made hero by a troupe
of Hawallans, Dr. Turner Informs us
that the proceeds, altho the troupe
failed to appear, were donated in
full to the Union City Red Cross
chapter. Quite a large audience was
present in anticipation of a musical
treat, and tho disappointed they re
fused to accept a refund of the ad
mission. The Hawallans, it seems,
were suspected of being German
spies.
Wagon and Blacksmith Shop.
Mr. John O'Donnell sold his wagon
and blacksmith shop a few days ago
to T. R. Reynolds, the president of
the Union City Lumber Co.. Mr,
O'Donnell has a notice in the paper
this week requesting a settlement of
accounts. He has been one of our
most popular business men and citi
zens, and his retirement from busi
ness here is uiversally .regretted,
Mr. Reynold will no doubt continue
the business with the prospects of
the best success. He will give the
business his personal attention.
Tom Thumb Entertainment.
The teachers, Miss Callie Howell,
Miss Elizabeth Chambers and' Mr,
Bparkman, gave a very unique Tom
Thumb entertainment last Tuesday
night in the school building, the pro
ceeds of which were used for the
purchase of a Victrola in the West
over School. A large audience was
present and the affair was a. com
plete success.
Basket Ball Game.
The girls from McPerrin School
at Martin, accompanied by their
teachers and scores of rooters, came
Monday night to take their regular
lesson and defeat at the' hands of
the Union City High School girls in
the school gym. It was anybody's
came until the whistle sounded for
time. They each led the other at
different times and were often tied
daring the game. All this was In
teresting and made the rooters boost
more. The people came over In cars
and were greeted by a good crowd
to make the evening pleasant. Why
don't more people attend these
games.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
The American Red Cross has been
granted a license by the War Trade
Board to "trade with tho enemy."
This is h w It came about: the
privilege of sending letters, food, and
money to American prisoners of war
in Germany - has been granted ex
clusively to the Red Cross by the
German government.
Germany demands a return for
this privilege. She asks the Red
Cross to act as the medium thru
which German fathers and mothers
can send a "word from home" or a
remembrance to sons confined In
American prison camps, and to a
minor extent . to her prisoners In
French and British camps.
This, In a sense, constitutes "trad-.
Ing wlth the enemT
Thus it was
P?0688" to et unction of the
War Trade Board for the undertak
ing. This has Just been secured, and
the license 1 ssued. It gives the
American Red Cross a blanket au
thorization for communication with
prisoners of war over the entire
world enemy, allied, and neutral
Recently a naturalized Austrian
came to the Rod Cross, begging it to
get word to his son held prisoner in
far.off glber,a fey the Ru83lan8 He
sent supplies and a letter, the spirit
of whlch foloWfl
"Do not let the Russians involve
you in any exchange of prisoners, for
then vnn will hnvn trt trn hnclr in
Auatrla or perhapa Germany, and be
forced to fight Americans. Don't let
them do that lf ou ca hclo lt. but
Btay where you are and we wm Bend
you supplies until you can come to
America"
Scores of similar cases are reach-
lag the Red Cross. In war times It
is tho only organisation which can
I eonduet what is really the single in-
ternational post office and cable of-
I Ace for prisoners of war In the world
I It is extending its communication
and Information service constantly,
I It is at work all the time gathering
data about the American dead,
wouned, and missing on this side of
No Man's Land and about the pris
oners on the other. The War De
partment undertakes to send to the
nearest kin only the bare fact that
an American sodier has been killed,
wounded, missing, or taken prisoner.
The Red Cross, on application, sup
plements this by obtaining details
and data. It thus performs a service
of inestimable value to relations at
home.
Likewise any "enemy alien" In
the United States can get a message
of reassurance to a relative in the
Central Empires thru the Red Cross,
if the message is legitimate. 1 1n rec
ognltlon of this work, the German
government grants the Red 'Cross
similar privileges regarding Ameri
can prisoners of war in Germany,
the nature of which cannot be re
vealed at this time.

HUNT
Will Give Relatives Details of Can-
altiet at the Front
To give relatives of American sol
diers details of casualties at the
front, the American Red Cross has
organized at national headquarters a
Bureau of Communication, of which
William R. Castle, Jr.,- formerly As
sistant Dean of Harvard College and
Editor of the Harvard Graduates'
Magazine, is director. This Bureau
supplements In a personal and hu
manitarian way the reports of the
Statistical Division of the War De
partment which gives to relatives
official notice when a soldier is re
ported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally re
sults from the official report to rela
tives that a soldier has been "wound
ed" or is "missing" will as far as
possible be dispelled by the Bureau
which will advise in detail the na
ture and extent of the wound, and
will gather evidence from comrades
in arms at the hospitals and rest
camps regarding thoso reported
"missing." "
Any information of interest or
consolation to relatives thus obtain
ed will be transmitted to them thru
personal letters, while messages from
the wounded will bo conveyed thru
this same agency.
The Information on which the
Bureau will base its reports is gath
ered thru a central office in Paris,
under the direction of E. Gerry
Chadwlck, of New York, aided by
the Rev. Robert Davis, nt Engle
wood, N. J., and thirty assistants
stationed at the base hospitals and
rest camps to which soldiers are gen
erally returned following important
engagements.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
Increased. Tho information will for
the most part be forwarded from the
Paris office to this country by mail.
For tho present the Bureau is re
porting on all cases that come to its
attention. However, it is probable
that with tho increase of reports
from the front, information will be
sent only to relatives requesting it,
except in cases of those imprisoned
or reported "missing."
There is a Red Cros3 service in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger
many and Austria. In the London
office of the British Red Cross, more
than two hundred women are con
stantly employed in communicating
with relatives of soldiers and their
card Index already covers more than
three million cases reported on.

The Bureau will recolve thru the
International Red Cross office at

American prisoners supplied officially
by the German government. la
cases of imprisonment, the Bureau
reports to relatives, after which the
case is referred to the Rod Cross Bu
reau of American Prisoners Relict, of
which Franklin Abbott is director.
The American Red Cross Commit
tee in Berne sends each American
prisoner, every two Weeks, throe ten
pound food packages. These sub

Government and tho American Red
Cross. A sufficient quantity of sup
plies is now on the way to Switzer
land to care for 10,000 American
prisoners for a period of six months.
This Bureau is also the sole agency
licensed by the War Trade Board to
transmit money to American and
allied prisoners in Germany.
Buy at Home.
Our Government has been, and is
now, advocating the buy-at-home
plan, and evory county and State to
raise all they eat and save a lot to
send our soldiers at the front and to
our allies..
That's our policy. We believe
that, and are practicing the thing,
too. We want you to know that we
are now ready to supply our mer
chant customers with fresh and salt

After March 20 we will have
