Many Million Members Will Be Added During; Christmas Roll Call Week -List of Chairman and Mem bers to Meet Tuesday.' The work of the Red Cross does not end, as some perhaps have thought, with the cessation of hostilities on the battlefields of Europe. Great as the need for such an organization may be in the fighting zone, there is , another need almost as great for its work at home among the civilian population. So long as humanity exists, some One has said, there will be a crying need for welfare work and the relief of human sufferings. The Red Cross during the period of reconstruction and! re-organization in the countries of Europe expects to accomplish even 'greater tasks in relieving the pain and distress of the millions of disa bled and afflicted peoples who will suf fer for many years as a direct result of the great war. In order to accomplish the gigantic task of world relief confronting the Red Cross and other humanitarian or ganizations, it is necessary to build up a strong, well eqipped body of workers, and to this end the Red Cross has decided to conduct a movement during the week immediately precede ing Christmas for the enrollment of every citizen of the United - States as member of the Red Cross. Roll call week, as it has been designated, opens December 16 and continues through the 23rd. The local Red Cross chap ter is rapidly completing its organiza tion for roll call week, and has set as its goal a membership of 5,000. A partial list of committee chair men who will assist with the work during roll call week has been com piled. J. P. Herring has been appoint ed county chairman, with Roger Moore acting as city chairman with Mrs. Cuthbert Martin assisting him. L.. D. Latta has been named chairman of the committee working - through the churches, and F. A. Lord will be in charge of the work among fraternal organizations. The committee on ac tivities among industrial plants will be headed by C. C. Chadbourn, while the committee directing the house-to-house canvass is headed by Mrs. J. M. Solky. Marsden Bellamy has been ap pointed chairman of the professional men's committee. Booths will be es tablished at strategic points on the city's thoroughfares to secure mem bers, the committee being headed by Mrs. L. B. Sasser. Prof. Washington Catlett will supervise roll call week activities among the school children. Special committees will a,lso be ap pointed at the shipyards to afford the shipbuilders , an opportunity to lend their support to "the greatest mother in the world" in caring for the world's suffering men, who after all are boys at heart and need a great deal of mothering. The committees will make a very complete canvass of the city, entering every organization from in dustrial plants to the humblest home. Every citizen of the city will be given a chance to become a member of the Red Cross during Christmas rolf call week. The executive committee and com mittee chairmen will meet again Tues-. day at noon in the chamber of com merce rooms to further perfect plans of organization. Among other mat ters to be discussed at that time is the victory parade which will be stag "ed during the latter part of roll call week. This parade will probably be one of the largest ever staged in Wil mington, and will consist of repre sentatives from every class of indus try in the city. Rev. M. T. Plyler, chairman of the roll call week organization, has been notified that large quantities of litera ture, buttons, membersnip DianKs, automobile tags, window posters and service flags have been shipped from Red Cross headquarters and will be here in ample time for use during roll call week. Mr. Plyler1 has also re ceived a sample of a certificate of mer it to be awarded to members of the roll call organization for loyal and faithful service. The certificate is very handsome and is appropriate for framing as a permanent record of ef ficient and patriotic service. The principal feature of the meeting Tuesday will be the appointment of members on the various committees named above. The personnel of these committees will be made up from prominent citizens of the city who have rendered valuable service in other patriotic movements, and who the executive .committee believes will respond as willingly to the request to aid. They are expected to meet with the executive committee at noon Tues day to hear outlined the plans for roll call week. A list of these citizens fol lows: W. N. Harriss, T. R. Ames, L-. D. f Latta, J.

MORE GOOD NEWS COMES. Cablegram Tells of Safety of Several Wilmington Men. More than one heart was made glad last night by the news contained in a cablegram received by L. Stein from his son, Lieut. Louis j. Stein, now with the forces in France. Lieutenant Stein's brief message cdnveyed the news 'that, as well as himself Willie Wylie, Leon Silverman and Joe Nathan were all well. . This was -the first news to, be receiv ed by the families of any of these young men since hostilities ceased and it was "received with open arms." Immediately upon the receipt of the message Mr. Stein notified the parents of the other yoting nien. i ' Supervlsdnir Xurse Will Be Stationed at the Court House and All Will "Work With Health Department. Statement of Plan To Pay Tribute to Their Dead This Afternoon. Memorial Address Will Be Delivered by Capt. James D. McNeill Service Will Be Held At Academy at 3:30 O'clock. Beginning today, the recent reorgan ization of the public health service wilj be effective. . The city has been divided into four districts and a nurse assigned to each district, with a supervising nurse to be stationed in the office of the Associated Charities at the court house, all to work in conjunction with the health department. Additional funds to finance the new arrangement have been provided by the Bellwill cotton mill and the hosiery mill in the southern part of the city, t The Red Cross, the Ministering Circle of the King's Daughters and the Met ropolitan Life Insurance company and Sorosis are other contributors to the work. Under the new arangement, the nurses will bev available for the entire public, all who are able to do so paying for the service and those who are not, getting it free. The new arrangement is in line with the work in progressive cities everywhere and much is expected to result from it here. In explaining the new system, Miss Columbia Munds, who is the .supervis ing nurse, yesterday gave out the fol lowing: Today a new era in public health wfW begin in this city. All of the nurs es, who are at present doing public health work, the two who are have been called "our district nurses" who are supported by the Ministering Cir cle, the school nurse, supported by the city, the tuburculosis nurse, supported by the local Red Cross, who also does the Metropolitan visiting, and the Sor osis nurse who runs the milk station, will be organized into an association of public health nurses, under a super vising nurse. "We feel (She efficiency of the nurses will be greatly increased, as each nurse will have her own district and she will not, as at present, cover the same territory some one else is cover ing for a different type of patient. The mills are contributing to the support of a nurse and the mill workers and their families will be looked after by the nurse in whose district the mill is. "When the patients are able to pay, from a minimum of five cents a visit, they will be expected to do so and any one who needs the service of a visiting nurse may call on the public health nurse in that district. We feel that as there are so few nurses, comparatively speaking, for private duty work, all classes should have the benefit of the public health nurse. "The supervising nurse will have office hours in the court house from 9 to 11 a. m". Phone 981-J, and any calls sent there will be attended to. We expect soon to increase our clinic work and so reach many more tnan we can at present. "Public health work is making greater strides than any branch of nursing at present and organization is necessary to accomplish the greatest amount of work and good. "The nurses who are going into the work, are desirous of thanking the above organizations for combining arid thereby enabling them to form the as sociation of public health nurses of Wilmington." Senator Simmons Assures a French, Speaker. Lieut.. Vincent de Wiecdickl, Member of the French High Commission, Will Likely Be Here Other Speak ers Secured. , BRINGING TROOPS HOME Wilmington Still Talking: of Possibil ity of Debarkation Here. The designation of Charleston as & port of debarkation for returning troops has given additional interest to the home-coming of "our boys," the 119th and 120th infantry, particularly; and there is speculation as to ways and means for getting these regiments sent to Wilmington, or sent through Wilmington. If the transports were not too big for the Cape Fear, it is speculated, the two regiments named, if sent to Char leston with other troops, might be brought on here and debarked, and en trained for Goldsboro, where the 119th, then the old Second North Carolina, started from; or both regiments might be sent to Camp -Polk at Raleigh and demobilized. It is realized that the larger trans ports could not enter the river, and the talk about bringing the troops here is largely based on fervid hope. Asheville is pulling to have the Tar Heels sent to Camp Sevier and de mobilized there, so that special trains from the state could run down and see 'em. Wilmington people "would go wild, simply wild" to have the troops be longing to North Carolina, come through this port. The state regi ments have done themselves proud in the war and the 119th, it is asserted by many, judging from reports and letters, was the shock . regiment that went through the .Hindenburg line. Anyway, the 119th won plenty of glory and to first welcome it home Wilming ton would do most anything. ROTARIANS MEET TUESDAY. Will Arrange Plans for Part In W. S. S. Victory Drive. There will be a special meeting of the Wilmington Rotary club Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The meeting will be held in the Y. M. C. A. and for the purpose of arranging plans for co operation with Chairman George Hon net, of the New Hanover W. S. S. com mittee, in his victory drive that he will launch Tuesday for securing pledges for war savings stamps. Secre tary Louis T. Moore has mailed the fol lowing letter to the members of the club notifying them to be 'present at the meeting: "Uncle Sam and George Honnet want every Rotarian to be present a$ the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday morning, De cember 3, at 9:30 o'clock, to give two or three hours to the final drive for the sale of thrift and war savings stamps. This is a duty we owe the government so please be guided ac cordingly and let nothing interfere with ,your personal obligation to help. This is the only notice . you will re ceive so please remember the duty Im posed upon you." NOTICE! Capt. James D. McNeill, mayor of Fayetteville and one of the most prom nent Elks in the state, will deliver the address at the annual memorial service of the local Elk lodge at the Academy of Music this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Those who know Captain McNeill and his ability as a public speaker Tealize that local Elks made no mistake when they invited him To pay tribute to their brothers who have passed to the great beyond. It is a beautiful custom that this, or der has in paying tribute to its deceas ed brothers, and the progTam that is arranged for this particular occasion is impressive. Especially selected music will be rendered, the roll call of de parted members will be made and a eulogy of those in honor of whom the service is held will be read. The musi cal program consists of solos, quartets and selections by the audience. The quartet that, will sing today is Mrs. George S. Boylan, soprano; Mrs. E. G. Woody, contralto; A. L. Dosher, ten or; and G. N. Spavin, baritone, with E. H. Munson accompanist. In view of the fact that some of those whose, names appear on the roll have given their lives in the service of their country, it is expected that there will be a degree of' added impressiveness. Lieut. Warren Gregory. Davis, the last name to be placed on the list, was killed in service in France only a short time before hos tilities ceased under the terms of the armistice. The service this afternoon will not be confined to Elk's alone but the gen eral public is invited to attend. The memorial list contains 29 names as follows: F. W. Foster, Dr. R. E. Zachary, R. L. Gates, E. P.. Bailey, John H. Gore, Edgar J. Bear, J. F. Ong, Felix H. Kluttz, L. P. Aaron, John M. Wright, Leo. Leob, Isaac M. Bear. James W. Monroe, S. H. Fishblate, I. J. Bear, I. J.

Bell, 2009 Woolcott avenue, this city, has received official notifica tion from the war department that his son, Private Edgar Bell, previously re ported missing, was captured and at last accounts .was a prisoner in Ger many and in good health. Now that the war is over, it is supposed he has already reached the allied lines. Mr. Bell was greatly disturbed by the first report, and as greatly relieved by the war department's message. Capt. Joseph J. Loughlin, of the 322nd in fantry, wrd"te Mr. Bell under date of October 23, received here , only a few days ago, that his son was missing, at Frapelle, October 15. The captain says there was no evidence of his death and his comrades belieVed he had been cap tured. He had been out on patrol and in a fight the officer commanding was killed. Private Bell remained with his officer until the latter died as he was very much attached to the officer, whose body was not found later, and it is supposed the enemy carried it off and took the private also. "It is a pleasure for me to state," writes Captain Loughlin, "that I kxiew Edgar personally, being from my own home town, and he was a fine soldier and loved by all his comrades." If the worst was to be true, the captain con tinued, "you have the consolation that your boy gave himself in order that the world may be made a decent place to live in." Captain Loughlin further promises that if he has luck and gets back he will tell Mr. Bell further de tails and how high his son stood with the company, and will further advise if any additional information is secured. These army captains in writing to parents have by their letters lightened many a load from anxious or sorrow ing hearts at home. The complete program has not been arranged yet, but the committee from the Colonial Dames appointed to ar range for 'the celebration in Wilming ton of Britain day Saturday, December 7, is meeting with success in lining up the speakers for the occasion. When the movement to have the day celebrated in Wilmington, was first placed in the hands of the Colonial Dames by Mayor P. Q. Moore, it was decided to have three prominent speakers deliver addresses, one to be an American, another a Frenchman and the third an Englishman. The American and Englishman have been secured and Senator Simmons, who has been assisting the committee, sent a telegram yesterday afternoon of assurance that he will likely be able to get Lieut. Vincent de Wiez dicki, of the French high commission in Washington, to come here for an address on the afternoon of the com ing Saturday. The senator was unable to make a positive statement that the lieutenant will come but he feels sure he will. He will be in position to give a definite answer by Monday. Some difficulty is being experienced in getting a place for the celebration. The management of the Academy of MUsic has a show booked for that day and the Victory theatre on Market street is not in 'condition for a meet ing of this kind. However, Mr. Bailey, of the Howard Wells Amusement com pany, is co-pperating with the com mittee and will do everything he can to have the academy released on that date so it can be used for the exerj cises. The meeting will be held in the afternoon but the hour will not be fixed until the place is decided on. Captain Curran is the English speak er who has been secured for the oc casion, while Dr. Howard E. Rond thaler, president of Salem college, Winston-Salem, will be the American speaker. This celebration will be held throughout the United States, on Sat urday in some communities and on Sunday the 8th in others, and will be the means of giving fresh impulse to the good relations which the war has accentuated between Great Britain and the United States. London celebrated American - independence day last July 4th, and that compliment Is going to be returned , by .approximately 700 American cities that will signalize the feeling of the hour in tribute to Britain. . y - v . . . . .... .

KiUed Bravely Leading: His Platoon Sunday, Sept. 29. Henry Early, writing to the mother of Raymond Fussell, Mrs. T. W. Fus sell, Rose Hill, describes that young man's death -in a letter recently re ceived, as follows: "Last Sunday morning, September 29, Raymond, while valiantly leading his platoon in an attack, was killed In stantly by explosion of a shell. While we do not have the consolation of any dying message, due to his instant death, yet we may 'be consoled on the thought that he suffered no pain and that he died like a man and a true American soldier in action. "Though the loss to his country is great and even more so to you, his family and friends,, such a death is more honor than temporal loss. His commanding officer and the men of his company desire to express to, you their respect and admiration for such a no ble "son, for though young, he ranked among the foremost of the non-commissioned officers in his regiment for efficiency, courage and devotion to his men. His chaplain has asked me to write you this letter, though I should have done so any way, and he assures me that he was -decently and religious ly buried with 'military honors in a military cemetery near a beautiful French village and that his effects were properly disposed of and his grave properly marked. I hope to be able to mark it still better and visit it, which I have not had the opportuni ty of doing yet.. Though your sorrow must be great, for mine is, let us try to console ourselves that he died a most honorable death 'having loved his fellow man as himself, and has done willing "his share for 'the great cause for which we are sacrificing, that the world will be brighter and better."

Play Gives Evening of Lightsome En tertainment in Norfolk. In a criticism of Frederick V. Bow ers in "I'm So Happy," which is com ing to the Academy December 6, Doug las Gordon i nThe Norfolk News-Ledger, says that while the opening act "hardly gives fair promise of what is to come," "nevertheless, it is amusing enough, and in any case, it offers an evening of lightsome diversion unmar red by any strain on minds already confused by trying to understand how far our bridgehead rights extend on the other side of the Rhine. "This diversion is very largely sup plied by Frederick V. Bowers, whose altogether original and intimately friendly comedy makes him a rare en tertainer. He is more than that, too, since he has a veritable gift for melody which he devotes to turning out pretty and whistleable tunes for the happi ness of his audiences. Moreover again, he is both generous enough and shop man enough to give others in his com pany abundant opportunity." TWO KILLED IN WRECK Well.
