The following are on the committees Ed ward F. Cook, chairman; S, H. Swez- ey, Leonard S. Maybee, Edward B. Lent, Raymond J. Miller, William F. Cornell, Hiram R. Smith, H. F. Starr, . Forrest S. Dunbar, David Sutherland, j r . , Charles E. Mack, Edward B. Thompson, C. D. Baker. Joseph N. Pa'mer has been ap pointed secretary of the club, to suc ceed John S. Sumner, who has gone abroad. Raymond J. Miller is tha new not a man of us would be in this Post room tonight, but “somewhere over there,” doing our best for the cause of human liberty. 2nd. Especially dd we commend his Peace Proclamation of the 8 th inst., for we felt that he was measuring up to the high standard of our immortal Commander when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. May its effect be as beneficial. 3rd. Rezolved that the citizens of Freeport and of Nassau County, and especially the teachers in our public schoo’s, be, and are hereby requested to make all necessary preparations for a fitting and patriotic observance ^Frorn the Red Crons Committee of Freeport) During onr last drive we often heard the as tonishing answer to our question: “Are you a member of the Red Cross?” or “Won’t you join the* Red Cross?” “No, I wouldn’t give my money to the Red Cross or any other organized charity that spends so much money on big salaries and expense accounts.” Or “When I give my money to the sol diers I want to know it is going to the soldiers not into big salaries and costly buildings at Washing-, ton.” And so our message this week is to “Ye of lit- . tie faith.” To begin with if you were one of the loyal citi zens who so expressed yourself we are glad you openly spoke what was in your heart. It is always easier to deal with a man who is out in the open with his opinions because he stands ready to be en lightened—most tinjes. But you also registered the fact that your knowledge of things patriotie and American is a bit in need of repair. You do not know that all accounts of the Red Cross are audited by the War Department of the United States. That every move of the executive department is passed on by Congress. That it is the only organ ization authorized by Congress to attend to the needs of the Army and Navy. It is the only society designated to care for the needs of the Army and Navy under the provision set forth at the conferences of Geneva and the Hague, aud authorized in all matters to be tbe- means of communication between the people and the Army and Navy. * . That Congress authorizes five p£r cent, of the receipts to be spent for expenses, and that the books as audited by the War Department, show that ninety-five per cent.! of every dollar given to •the Red Cross is spent in actual relief work. The beautiful building at Washington cost f 800,000. $400,000 of that was given by Congress ^arid the other half was given by five members, w Last ybar the additional wing was added at a cost of $52,000, given by two members as a memor ial to the heroic women of the Civil War. There is a permanent fund of $1,000,000, the inconffe of which goes for salaries. . f ~ 1 The officers are the biggest men in the United States from the president, who is the head of the American Red Cross, the ex-president, who is al ways the chairman of the National Committee to the Department Chairmen, who are bankers of na tional repute. The men and women who htild offide positions are paid salaries—smaller salaries than are paid to any other organized charity in America. And we would like to ask you who criticize—would you give of your time and wealth as generously—in proportion to what you have as the members of this organization are doing?

Dunbar have Rffdolph Smith, who has been as sistant station agent at the local de pot for the past year, has secured a position as freight clerk at East New York. A good illustration of the severity of the Winter, if one be necessary, is the fact that 15-inch ice was gathered from one of the local pjnds during the past week. Some of the oldest residents of ( the village say this is the thickest ice obtained from this pond within their recollection. thicken thieves have been active during the past two weeks in this neighborhood, several coops being visited and a number of fowls stolen.

All will be welcome. It, don’t have to be a check, either, money will do! A very dice letter was received from Paul Lang, one of our boys, a t Waco, Texas, where he is with the aviation squadron. Paul says it was lofoly weather, like out northern springtime, until about three weeks ago, when they had an awful snow storm, the first they had ever seen in that section of Texas, which made a great deal of suffering, aa it was so unexpected. He wishes to thank the Good Cheer girfr\ fofr sending his Christmas box, but be never received it and several others which were sent him. It seems too bad when we are doing all we can for our boys and send them things and then not get .hsm. He hdjjros to be transferred nearer home soon. The Good Cheer Club met o with Mrs. A. E.

The War Department has not offi cially recognized any form of service flag and it is beyond thfe province of the War Department to formulate any rules or regulations for the guidance of civilians with respect to the dis play of such flags. It is generally understood, however, that when such a flag is displayed it indicates by the stars thereon the number of members from that place who are now serving with the mili tary or naval forces of the United States. • H.
