DEATH OF J. K. GRADY, OF COL. METTS' REGIMENT Kinston, Dec. 11. John K. Grady carried happiness to a certain British military hospital ward, and went out of it leaving gloom. His father, L. J. Grady, has learned the particulars from a letter from the nurse in charge of the ward. Corporal Grady was taken to the hospital badly wounded. It ap peared for a time that he would get well, his own Cheerfulness contribut ing to his chances. According to the sister in charge, he "endeared himself to everyone in the ward." Then, one day, Grady's condition took a turn fot- the worse, and he died. He asked that his parents be notified of his death -md .passed out; "very peacefully," accord ing to the English nurse's accounc. His comrades placed a wreath of white chrysanthmums and fern on the cas net, and the good-naturea young American was laid away in a (British cemetery. Corporal Grady was ia. mem ber of v the 110th inffcnt WORLD OWES GREAT DEBT TO RED CROSS Was Instrumental in Bringing War to Speedy Close. Private C. S. Maion, of the Canadian Forces, Recounts Experiences On Flanders Field and Extols Vir tues of Red Cross. Declaring that America and the al lied nations would be fighting the Ger man armies today had it not been for the efficient service of the American Red Cross on the battlefields of Europe, Private C. S. Mason, member of the 54th battalion, Canadian forces, spoke 'at the Academy of Music last night in behalf of the Red Cross organization. "It is to the American Red Cross that I owe the pleasure of being here with you tonight." he affirmed, "and it is to that organization that you owe the fact that victory is yours today. "The war is not over, although I hear people wherever I go saying that it is over. The fighting has ceased, victory has been won, but the war is not yet over. There is work still to be done in Europe, soldiers lie suffering in the hospitals, and the task is far from be ing accomplished." During the progress of his address Private Mason described the sensation of the young soldier going overseas, of his first thoughts and feelings when he lands in France and of his experiences when he goes up to the front and even tually goes over the top. After fight ing for several months on the British front arpund Vimy Ridge without re ceiving serious wounds. Private Mason finally "got his" from an exploding shell. . "THhe last thing I remember' said "The last thing I remember," said shell. The next thing I knew I waked up in a clean bed, with the white top of a tent above me and looking down into my face the most beautiful wom an I had ever seen or ever hope to see. She was an American Red Cross nurse. At first I couldn't decide where I was. If this beautiful woman had had wings 'i would have believed that I had passed St. Peter's pearly gates. The treat ment I received there from the hands of that Red Cross nurse and the phy sicians saved my life. If I had to pay for it, I would be playing the rest of my days. From the hospital at the front, back to England to convalesce and then back hqme, every step of the way the Red Cross is with the soldier, tenderly caring for him. supplying all his needs. And that could never have been possible if it had not been for you and your dollars contributed during the past campaigns. "While the soldiers have laid down their arms, another army has arisen. The forces of the Red Cross, armed Only with the great, tender mother heart, is going forth into Russia, Ser bia and every corner of Europe where there is suffering and distress among human creatures, to care for them, to feed hungry mouths, clothe the naked and drive away famine. To success fully accomplish their aim the Red Cross is requesting universal enroll ment. If you appreciate the wonderful service it has rendered, if you want to line yourself up with the world's most powerful force in relieving heart-ache and pain of stricken humanity, con tribute your dollar and enroll as a member of the Red Cross. Why shouldn't we close this eventful year by joining its forces and so show our approval of its accomplishments? In the name of that, greatest of all presi dents, Woodrow Wilson, in the name of the American flag, in the name of those men who lie out there on Flandefs field, I ask you to join the Red Cross and help carry its work on until the task, has be.en completed. Carry on! That is the message I bring to you. Carry on to the end, and when your boy comes home grip him by the hand and say, 'I am proud of you, boy; you have done your duty, you have risked death, you have won the victory. But I, too, have done what I could. I have given my time and my money, and I have given my heart, my loyal support, to the cause, for I ama proud member of the American Red Cross.' " The meeting, despite the unfavorable weather, was well attended. The Academy of Music was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience that unmistakably showed its approval of Private Mason's words. The enter tainment was opened with invocation by Rev. John A. Sullican, pastor of Cavalry Baptist church. Solo, "When I Come Baclc to You," was rendered by Mr. Willetts, who was wormerly a Canadian soldier and has lived through many of the experiences related by Private Mason. J. A. Stuart, also a former member of the Canadian forces, introduced the speaker in a few fitting words. Mr. Stuart stated that the principal thing about the Red Cross which won his admiration was the fact that the organization was al ways willing to give something for nothing, and Private Mason agreed with him on this point. Louis J. Poisson, who presided at the meeting, called attention to the fact that the Red Cross roll-call commences next Monday morning, December 16. Unless everyone unhesitatingly enrolls next week as a member of the Red Cross, he stated, it will be necessary to conduct a campaign to raise funds to carry on the work which the Red Cross must yet accomplish. The re sults of the roll-call next week are not doubtful, however, he said, stating that the Red Cross without doubt will have increased its-membership twofold when the roll-call ends. Mr. Poisson announced that a meet ing of all member's of the Christmas roll-call organization is expected to be held in the chamber of commerce at noon next Friday to complete final de tails for the work of the coming week. At that time" buttons, posters and liter ature -of various sorts which has been received in large quantities by Vice Chairman W. A. McGirt, will be dis tributed to the committees. - ASK APPROPRIATION FOR DRAINAGE WORK (Continued from Page Five.) have the public health department of fflcials allow the money already ap propriated to count for her half. He does not believe that " he will" fail on this last proposition, but if he does, then he is coming back to Wilmington and put the matter squarely up to the county commissioners and city; council. The most convincing testimony of the value of. the work done in and around the city is furnished by a mem ber of the board of health, Dr. J. C. Wessell, who declares that in his prac tice, which is sufficiently large to en able him to get a good idea of condi tions, he has discovered a very notice able decrease in malarial affections. He has made the statement several times and at the board of health meeting Tuesday, repeated it with emphasis. Picked Up Around Town Small Docket Yesterday.

A street car in charge of Motor man I. W. Gore collided with a motor truck owned by W. D. MacMillan, Jr., on Front street near the Bijou theatre last night a few mfnutes before 6 o'clock. The truck had been left on the track and" an automobile cut off the view of the motorman until he was so close on the truck that he was unable to avoid the collision. There was no damage to the truck and none to the street car except the head light was broken out. Invited to Come Here. James H. Cowan, secretary of the Wilmington chamber of commerce, an nounced yesterday that arrangements had been made to provide the neces sary funds for its entertainment and that the North Carolina Live Stock as sociation, which is in session at Char lotte this week, would be invited to hold its next meeting in Wilmington.
