Owing to the- untto-iny energy of tjjp members of "Red Cross Team 12, head ed Iby Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. Suckley, ibid fair to excel all others when the Red Cross Drive opens here next (Monday. In the first place Superintendent Suckley has secured a concession, from S. Z. Poll, the theatrical magnate, what no other person or organization, has so far been able to secure his theatre on Main street along with the regular show for a performance Tues day night, (May 21. Not alone has he secured the theatre and the show, but he has booked as the pieca de resist ance, Ueutenant "Smiling" Pat O'Brien, of the Royal Flying Corps, who will deliver a talk about his air battles, capture by the Hun, his life in a German prison camp and ulti mate escape from HunlanJd1. It will ibe remembered that lieuten ant O'Brien is the man who wjaen be ing transported to a retaliation camp in Germany, escaped from his guards by leaping out the window of a swiftly moving express train and with an abiding faith in God, his eye on the North Star, ran, walked, crawled, swam and dug through solid earth with his bare hands to get under heavily charged electric wires, he at last sank to Ihis knees in prayer as he landed safely in Holland. His account of how he dropped 8,000 feet In a shell torn and disabled air Diane, "placed among the dead, coming to life and being made prisoner, life, in a German camp, escape and wan dering through Germany and Bel gium, wearing a British uniform lor 72, has held huge audiences every where spellbound and brings one Iback to the stirring days that action writ- esr tell about. No less wonderful than his suffer ing while in Hunland suffering all the terrible brutality the Prussian over lords could heap upon helpless pris oners, Is his recuperation from wounds and starvation and his recep tion by King George V. at .Bucking ham Palace. London. He was highly complimented by the monarch who conversed with him in private for 52 minutes, the longest audience granted anvone below the rank of general. Manager Matt Saunders, of Poll's, promises one of the best shows of the season for this Red Cross penorm and he will have entire charge 'of all the stage arrangements for this norfnrmaTice de luxe. The show will (be the regular show for that half of the week, but the aHdition of Ueu tenant Pat O'Brien will put It in Wass by itself and Manager Saunders Is extremely proud of being the man behind the gun on the occasion. Tickets for the performance can be reserved now. All seats downstairs will be strictly reserved and will cost $1.50 each, while the two balconlesr will be sold out git the rate of $1 a seat. Assist. Superintendent Suckley and the entire police force were loud In their praise of S. Z. Poll's generosity which, coupled with the aid of Man ager Saunders will make the loath- coming event rank as an epoch In local theatrical history. J American Ambassador Sharpe has just sent the following cable to the War Personnel Board of the Young Men's Christian Association: "Ap palling need workers with. American troops. Minimum requirement today 600 for approximately zuu important unoccupied points. Many of these on firing line. Secretaries servng alone at front are breaking under terrific stsain." We must have immediate ad equate release to avert catastrophe." This cable has been relayed on yo W. Seymour Lacy, general secretary of tie Bridgeport Young Men's Chris-' tian Association, tnai me local or ganization might bringbefore able business "and professional men of Bridgeport this great need of our army and those of our allies, France and Italy. '-Qeneral Persuing has "re peatedly cabled that there was im perative need for more secretaries abroad. Both Italy and - France through their generals as well as their state departments have asked the Young Men's Christian, Associa tion to take hold of the wort In their armies and accomplish for their men what was being acomplished in the armies of the Canadian and British by the work of tne xoung men s Christian - Association. Some idea of the magnitude of the task will be realized fom the fact that 1,000 to 1,200 men are neded every month for the three or four months to meet the demand. There are literally hundreds of huts without an association secretary in them to serve the soldiers. Many otners are but poorly manned because they have been stripped of a sufficient number of workers In order to at least put one worker in some of these other posts. Bridgeport, so far. Is far behind the other cities of the country and New England in the number of high grade men who have been willing to offer themselves for this service. It is hoped that a response adequate to' the size of Bridgeport and the num ber of able men here may be received in the face of this urgent call from our state department. L. T, "Warner, A. W. Burritt, Robert S. Hincks or W. Seymour Lacy, gen eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will be very glad to meet and talk with any men who are ready to do this service. OBITUARY PATRICK WMANUS.
