■ assau County Review O Official Paper, Village of Freeport FREEPORT, N. Y., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1319 VoL XXII, No. •ihere had been some rumor that Walter Whittaker, one of the colored lads of the Fifteenth Infantry, -evas not dead. Sunday morning we met Fred Dennison, of the same Regiment, who incidentally was wounded on Sep tember 29, and reported in the casu alty list of February 11, and asked him about this. Dennison had just re turned home the night before, honor ably discharged, and practically recov ered from his wound. He said that Whittaker was dead, that on a certain evening he (Dennison) was ordered to go on guard duty, but Whittaker was substituted. In patrolling his beat, he stopped a lieutenant from Alabama, following military instruc tions, and the lieutenant drew his re volver and killed Whittaker instantly. Dennison says that the shell which injured him killed several of his com panions who were with him at the SOCIAL AND PERSONAL iity, and Their Guests, and Social Affairs Supervisor and Mrs. Hiram R. Smith send greetings from Savannah, Ga. Mr. Smith is very much interest ed in the proposition for a monument for Freeport and the postcard he send is a view of the Oglethorp menu ment in that city.

All requisitions from commanding officers will be promptly filled. Requisitions from other sourc es, such as those sent to the Comforts Committee of the Navy League or to other organizations will also be tak en care of after verification. Though Red Cross workers have been asked to cease knitting; if the need should arise the thousands of women who have been engaged in this work could immediately return to the task and promptly fill any order for knitted articles, no matter how large. There are on hand more than a mil lion pairs of socks arid fully a half million sweaters. This immense re serve explains why it was thought ex pedient to ask the Red Cross workers to cease knitting, so that they can devote their efforts to the working of refugee garnienM and hfi other activi ties v/hich are immediately pressing.
