This was just one of the incidents pf two very busy days at H^dquarl^s, Saturday and Sunday. ''
In     the   two   days   we   entertained nearly a thousand soidiers and sailors and   furnished  them   with  cofTee  and cake,  also  including.:  contributions of coffee cake and pie Kent from Maier's bakery (as was also done the preced- / ing  week)   and  a   big  box  of  sand- /• wiches frpm Freeport Chapter, Order Eastern   Stal-.     Saturday  night   was our   biggest   night   yet,   but  we   had plenty for everybody.    The dancs at the South Shore Hotel drew a bi«ger crowd than otherwise would have been down, and we fed nearly all of them before they went there. Some of them as a matter of fact stayed with us all the evening and the music was thor¬ oughly enjoyed. .     .      Take Our Boys for a Walk *^' Here are some of the things  you li' can do: '

One of the ironical developments of the last few weeks' disclosures at Washington is that the American sol¬ diers who are now brigaded with the French and English troops on the Western front are fighting with Lewis machine guns and Enfield rifles, both of which Secretary Baker a year ago thought not good enough weapons for Yankees to use.

Chief Hinse had his force on the Merrick Road "holding up" autoists for Red Cross emblems for their cars. Motorcycle Oflficer Yulch was especially designated for the work, und had a busy week. Ue could tell some interesting tales about his Work, as for instance the chap who looked "half scared to death" for fear he was going too fast, until he found it "was only a IJed Cross dirve" and gave up for two pasters iri his excess of relief.
Military Night at
South Shore Hotel
Former SheriflF Max S. Grifenhag- j en, whose three sons have enlisted in the service of the Government^ and j who is the owner of the South Shore j Hotel, gave a military night at the I hotel for the benefit of Uncle Sam's soldier boys from Camp Mills and the Aviation Corps at Mineola, Saturday evening.
The hotel was beautifully decorated both in and outside with American flags and bunting and at the entrance was a large photograph of President Wilson and General Pershing.
Over a thousand soldiers were pres¬ ent, all guests of the hotel, everything being served without cost to them.
The residents of Freeport. Garden pjty. Hempstead. Rockville Centre an* other neighboring towns brought 1;heir daughters to the hotel which gave the boys" a chance to enjoy the dancing, the music being furnished by the Boswell orchestra.
Professional actors, Summer resi¬ dents of Freeport, were kept busy en¬ tertaining the boys. Albert Von Til¬ zer, accompanied by Harry Puck, who has just enlisted in the Mavy, sang his latest war song, "One for All and All for One," the soldier boys and the lad¬ ies joining in the chorus. Other en¬ tertainers were Fred Stone, Will Philbrick, Charles Middleton, Leo Ca- rillo and Edward Abeles.
Another feature of the evening was Arline Grifenhagen, the Sheriff's youngest granddaughter, S\i years of age, garbed as a Red Cross nurse, who went among the soldier boys handing them chocolates and ciga¬ rettes from a box which she carried.
