L. Grant and Howard Oster- hout, two of the four special election commissioners whom Secretary of State Hugo sent abroad early in Oc tober to handle the soldier and sailor vote, returned today after completing - circuit of 10,000 miles by land and a. They brought with them the ballots cast by New Yoxkers now across the sea. The election commissioners report- fed that at all voting places election passed off smoothly and that the New York men took keen interest in the event. The troops now in France were said to be comfortably located, suita bly clothed and well fed, and all eager to play their part in the world war, Their only request to the people back home was to furnish them with Amer ican tobacco and reading matter.\ This is one of the many features of the work undertaken by the Red Cross and is another of the reasons why you should help all you can.

How ever, I will see you the first leave of absence I get to come home. I must admit that the conditions in camp are a good deal better than I expected, everyone is made to feel at home, as much as possible, and above all, the barracks are warm. The work is very interesting and their motto is “Early to bed and early to rise.\ Now that I am here I am glad of it. I can look any man square in the eye, something I could not do before, as I felt that ray place was in some one of the United States camps. Kindly remember me to Bro. H. E.

Fay Petrone is now at Camp John son, Florida. Former Freeport Boy Registers from Washington R. W. Nutt while on duty at Army Headquarters recently had an unusu al experience, illustrating what a big family we really are in these times. He was talking with the Oregon sol dier whose name was H. Achters Ik- els, and the lad remarked that he was bom in Freeport and went to Oregon to live with an aunt after his father died. He did not know where he was bora, but his father, Henry Ikels, was barber here. Mr. Nutt asked Super visor Smith, who was also on duty, If he recalled the man, and he said he did well—some 15 or 16 years ago, and that he (the Supervisor) was shaved by him many times. Greetings are acknowledged from Sergeant J. C. Hall (aviation section) from London, England. Letter from Spartansburg Through the kindness of Mrs. J. S. Gould we are permitted to publish this letter received recently from her son: Camp Wadsworth, Spartansburg, S. C. Nov. 23, 1917. Dear Mama:— After drilling all day yesterday, .they took us for a hike last night after \seven o’clock. I suppose it was to get us u^ed to marching at night and without' making a lot of noise. They are having a great battle in the trenches now. We expect our turn will come in a few days. They man oeuvre and send out scouting parties and one of the stunts is to get thru the guard and back again. It sounds interesting, but it is awful dirty. We are having very stiff setting up exercises now and it certainly is do ing us good. I wish we had more run ning. I think we need more of that, though we do have some. November 26. This is Sunday again, but I cannot get to town this time. Our whole pla toon was declared late to reveille this morning, so none of us can leave the camp. It is miserably cold, way be low freezing. The water was frozen when we got up this monting. We have floors and sides in our tent, but although we keep a roaring fire yet we are unable to keep the place warm. In our straggle to keep it com fortable we let the pipe get too hot this morning and the tent caught fire, burning the fly entirely up and leav ing a number of small holes in the tent Whether for this or not I cannot say, but our squad was detailed to clean the mess shack, dhd on top of the whole bunch of bad luck it was my day to wash the squad dishes. Hard luck certainly rune in streaks. But yesterday my luck ran different. I succeeded in getting a hot shower bath in town at the Y. M. C. A. and afterward a nice stack of hot buck wheat cakes. The fellow I go with a great deal is a nice fellow with very good morals and very refined. He had never heard grace said at a meal, however, and last Sunday he was invited out to din ner and when he saw everybody with bowed heads he thought some one had dropped something on the floor, so he started to look for it. That has gone the rounds, of the company and everybody kida him about it. Another funny thing came to our attention yesterday. It was a negro, driving a team of mules hauling a load of dirt and in the wagon he had a fire. He had found a piece of sewer pipe, improvised a stove and was driving along hugging the stove between hia These Southerners do not seem to Uke the colds tittle bit I got a muffler and » box <rf uffed dates from , and a letter from Aunt M—, end Dad’s letter yes terday. i here gotten three times es many letters as I have written, bet I have been very heey and haven’t felt \”h r.’saL ^ a fine Thanksgiving.

The Red Creee is organ ised to minister to the health of oar soldiers—The Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus to their comfort and entertainment, and if they cahoot do it jrith their big organisations they need more help—end the way to get results is to give them our aid— not to waste our energies with mote organisations rather than with more results. We have yet to hear ef any organ isations other than those mentioned which would justify us in making ex ceptions. The community interests for taking care of soldiers are not ex ceptions —they are organised directly under advice of the War Commis sion on Training Camp Activities, which works thru the agencies men tioned, and are in no way competi tive in the slightest degre. For in stance if there were a Y. M. C. A. branch in Freeport there would be no Freeport Federation; there being eg.. Red Cross branch in Freeport, there should be no other similar or dupli cating movement. These remarks are not aimed at any concAte instance— merely in answer to inquiries on tha subject fttiasons for Helping Red Crons Since writing the above there has come to hand a circular appertaining to Campaign Week of the Red Cross, giving “Reasons for Joining the Red Cross Today.” Along the line of the above comment we are publishing several of those reasons: The Red Cross is the only national relief organization in the United States authorized by Congress to give aid to the army and navy. It is the most direct way for any in dividual to care for his brother, son, or husband in the army or navy. Its funds are so administered that more cents out of your dollar go to relief work than through any other relief organization in America, for it is directed by business men of na tional reputation—all of them volun teers—who are able to keep the ex penses of administration at a mini mum. • It is going to undertake on a vast scale to make maimed American sol diers and sailors economically inde pendent. It stands squarely back of the President, the army and navy, and the ideals of democracy symbolized by the flag. Elks* Annual ? Memorial Service The annual memorial services of Freport Lodge of Elks were held Sun- afternoon, December 3, and nearly ev ery seat in the lodge room was occu pied. At 3 o’clock the Lodge marched in, while the funeral march was played by Prof. H. G. Eskuche of Rockville Centre. All lights were extinguished and in the darkened room the electric clock automatically struck eleven gongs, each of the numerals on the face of the clock being consecutively illuminated as each gong sounded. Past Exalted Ruler George Morton Levy gave the “Eleven O’clock Toast” to the memory of the departed broth- The Exalted Ruler and acting Es quire, Harry P. Wolfer, opened the ritualistic service, the latter explain ing the altar emblems. Prayer fol lowed by Rev. J. Sidney Gould, pas tor of the Freeport Presbyterian Church. - Then followed the beautiful cere monial in remembrance of the de ceased brothers. An immense large picture frame, about 6x9 feet, had been erected at the right of the Ex alted Ruler’s station. Its frame sud denly became illuminated with fifty electric lights, all other lights in the room being extinguished. The frame surrounded a background of plain purple cloth. The Exalted Ruler di rected the secretary, Sylvester P. Shea, to call the roll of the deceased members. As the Secretary called each name, the acting Esquire an swered “Absent,” and a light on the frame was extinguished by Fred P. Bennett of Hempstead, chairman of the Memorial Day Committee. Thie procedure was followed until the fif ty lights had been extinguished, and the room left in darkness, while Mrs. Charles Brightson sweetly sang “Soft ly Now the Light of Day.” Ill rough an electrical arrangement in the rear of the shadow frame there slowly ap peared upon the purple background in subdued and pretty effect the funeral motto of the Order: “To Our Absent Brothers.” The members arose and remained standing in silent prayer, while the organ and violin played “Auld Lang Syne.” The ritualistic service concluded, when acting Esteemed Leading Knight Charles A. Sigmond, Es teemed Loyal Knight Roy D. Pear sall and Esteemed Lecturing Knight Clarence A. Edwards went forward to the altar and with symbolic sentiment scattered forget-me-nots, a.narantba and clinging ivy abort the altar em blems.
