The parade storted from the F*ec-1

Affair Planned By the Girb* Serviee Leagoo a Great
The benefit for the conpany of Lieot. StoArt Cutler, one of the Freo¬ port boys, nere in France, given Toes- dky night at the Plasa, (Liberty) Theatre by the Girls' SoWice Leagne, proved very saeeessful. Althoogh all returns are uot in yet, the war tax the door reeeipto has been paid and the proceeds have passed tho $60 mark. Final flgurea will be given out by the League as soon as possible; then Lieut Cutler wiU be aent at once either articles needed by his men, or if, aeeordinc to the strict regolationa now on the shipment of boxtw for "Ovar Thoro," that la hnpoasibla. then the money wiU be cabled him to par- chase tl* articlM thare.

when they ratum. Oh, men and women of Frtepoj^, let ua put Ottr shoulder to the wheel and help our Govemment and our boys by not only working te buy Bonds, but. by going without something we had set oor hearto on in order to boy them. I say let as sacrifice, sacrifice, and then sacrifice aome more ontil it hurts, horto and then some more hurto, and if we do all we can we can hold up our heads and throw out oor chesto and face the world and be proud of the little button on the lapel of our coato which we are entitled to wear when we have parchased a Bond. Look at every man yon meet and see if he haa a button on, and if he has not ask him why the batton is not there. If he or she can give a good reason why it is not there, toke him by the hand and say: "God bless you, I know it would be there if it were possible." A man or woman who can buy a Bond and does not is aa much a slacker as the man who is trying to evade going to the front, and you hate a slacker, and if you were to shake hands with him you would feel your hands had been soiled. Let us shut our eyes for a moment and look across 3,000 miles and sae our boy.s beckoning, not for ue to come, but to send thera hdp in'the form of food, clothea, guns and ammunition, and every Bond wc poTchaee H, a message of love te the boys who ara on the other side. /
Is there a person here who if some boy said: "Write me a message of love," wouW refuse. I say no. Then send a message of love in the form of a Bond, and in so doing say that there are other sacriflces we will make to send you more such messages if yoo need them.
Every time I walk near onr Service Flag I feel I am treading on holy ground. Two hundred and twenty of our boys who are willing to do or die for you and I who are too old to do ourselves. I say again. Lord helps as to do our duty, not grudgingly, but gladly, with a feeling there is no sacri¬ fice too greait for us to make.
In closing I want to give you a little extract from a speech which I heard, by Edward J. Cattel, stotistieian, of the City of Philadelphia: "This is a time 6f crisis, my friends^ let us meet it like true Americans—depending on the great spiritual forces as weU as the more obvious material powers. You know all about our old Liberty BeU in Philadelphia, and how we all love it. One evening last June I happened to be down at Independence Hali aroand nine o'clock, when the ringing of thc ne-iiv beJl had been ordered. Well, after the bel) had been rung, and the ^watehman was closing up the place, I happened to come along there, and I heard a dispute between thc watchman and a sailor. The sailor was one of the fiaest .specimens of man¬ hood that I have ever seen, about 6 ft. 2. I spoke to the watchman and asked him whnt the trouble was. l^e said that the sailor wanted to see th* Liberty Bell, and that he was unable to let him see it because the place had been locked up, and ho could not let him in, because it was after hours.
I said to the sailor: "Can't yon come tomorrow morning when Inde¬ pendence Hall is open?'' He answered: "That is impossible. I sail at 5 o'cloclj in the morning on the converted German cruiser—now an American man-of-war. Wc are going direct into the danger zone. I only reached P.Hikidelphia at si.K o'clock this evening from my home in Wisconsin. I have never been in Philadelphia before. My mother was a Philadelphian and ali her life she tolked to me of her Bible and the Liberty Bell. "They were the mos* sacred things in her life. My father died when I was a young boy and mother ond myself have lived aimost like brother and sister. Last April my mother died( and I mn in the Navy today because I believe she wou'.d wish me to be there. I fael that I will be closer to my mother if I am in the Navy than if I remain on shore. It will help me if I see the bell. Isn't it pos!5ible?"
I siid:   "It is possible, and you shall see the bell."
I took him around to the opposite side of the hall and knocked at the •door. The night watchman opened it and I gave him orders to let me enter. I said to him: "You needn't put a light, just leave the door half open an,d the light from the lamppost in the square will give us enough illumination." The sheathing was off the bfell and so I was able to lead the sailor right up to the sacred relic and place his hands upon it. Thinking I could get a little morc light from a window to the west, I stepped into the darcer shadows to draw back the curtoins. When I disappeared, evidently the boy forgot I was there, for when I tumed and he was silhouetted against the open door, I saw he was kneeling in front of the bell. As I watehed, his face lowered until his lips touched tbe bell. Then I heard him say: *^God help me to nuJce good."
That boy was nearer tbe mother he had loved and lost at that moment than he wiU ever be again until he meeto her before the throne of God. That is the spirit in which our boys are going over. That is the spirit in which they are oifering their lives te defend eur liberty. Oed help us to do our port. God give us strength, we who remain at home, to do everything in ear power to haaten tbe day when eur boya may ratora victorious and the new era of peace on earth, good will toward men may be inaugurated.
I have no doubt as to the reault of the war, becanse, beUering that tfae principles for which "Old Glory" stands are God-given, I belive with equal fervor they will be God^rotoctod.

Saranac Lake, S. Y. April <<. 1918. Dear Mr. Pearaall:—
We arrived here test Tuesday or rather Wednesday, 2 a, m.., as x^-e were delayed 7 hours by a molass<.>a tank car wrecked just ahead of U3. The weather is certainly beaotiful here now and most all the snow gore, only on the mountains. We aro aitu¬ ated on a beautiful high hill Juat op¬ posite Slide Mountain and Mt. Baker, and we can see "Old Whito Face" at Lake Placid right to the north of ua.
On Saturday we went to town aa they had a Red Crosa and patriotic parade, after which services wero held at the village square. A beautiful service flag with 146 stars was on- furled and the school children sang the Star Spangled Banner. There were several very flne speakers: Maj¬ or Cluett, Mr. Palmer, village praal¬ dent, also Mr. Wiggins from Masaa- chusetts, of the Federal Bank, and Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, who spoke for tha Red Cross, of which therfe is a verf large chapter here. Mrs. Rndfleld, aa F.nglish lady, recited our beautiful hymn, "The Battle Hyjnn of the Sa- puhlie." It sure did sound' pood and she was a. wonderful speaker. Tha applause was deafening.
They have a big fire department, which would interest you, also a busi¬ ness men's band end Home Defense GiiarJ, all of w.hiph tool; part in tha parade, alao the school children. It g       ^j^jwas certainly one {jloricus aig^X.

There are foarteen members of the circle and they plan to meet once a week at the homes of the different members, pay¬ ing a 10-cent tax each week.
