Yhe canvass begins this morning and continue through the week, and with the organization that has been perfected the goal of 5,000 members no doubt be reached long before the week has ended. - With W. A. McGirt acting general chairman in the absence, of Rev. M. T. plyler, chairman; James H. Cowan, city chairman, and J. "P. Herring, couri tv "chairman, the chapter has a strong oragnization lined, .up, and one that win no doubt "go over the top" with a!i ease. Walter P. Sprunt, the chap ter treasurer, will act as treasurer for the committee. The house to house canvass will "be made by scores of women, under the leadership of Mrs. J. M. Solky, who has exerted great care in gathering about her a company of workers on whom she can rely; the industrial com mittee is captained by Charles C. Chadbourn, and he will see that each employer of every industrial venterr nrise of the city is given an oppor-. tunity, of subscribing to the support of the "greatest of mothers." I. C. Wright - will line up the professional men while Charles B. Newcomb will see that the machinery among frater ial organizations' is in smooth work ,na order when the word "go" is given .his morning. When there is anything in the way of raising money for patriotic purposes he general offices of the Atlantic Coast Line never come up lacking. It nas been left with J. Utley King to secure members in the offices and he promises to roll up a majority above my other enterprise in the city. How fver. both the shipyards are going to be there when the final count ;omes. Mr. Herring has been working hard Id the rural sections, but he has been rewarded by seeing perfected in every rural school district in the county, a live organization which will be very instrumental in carrying old New Han ;ver over with flying colors. In fact the organization with, wjilch the com mittee is going into the field is one of the most perfect that has ever been gotten together for a similiar purpose. Attractive membership buttons have been secured, one of which, together with ten Red Cross stickers,, will be given every person becoming a mem ber of the chapter, the button consti tuting a receipt for the membership fee. The canvassers will be out on the war path all week but should one fail to receive an invitation from the canvassers to become associated iwith- t'ne organization one should feel no hesitancy is calling at any of the booths, which will be placed at dif ferent point -tlmrughout'lhe city, and subscribing a dollar or more to the support of the Red Cross. Headquarters will "be maintained at 1 11 9 Princess street and will be in charge of Mrs. Harry Woollcott.

"Each of the various committees should meet together daily and report to the chairman the results of the Jay's work. The name and address of the members should be shown with all cash collected.

All negro memberships should e marked and a separate report made FV that proper credit' maybe given uhen the total is counted."'. "ALL ARE SAFE" WRITES LIEUT. IRA A. HINES 'len of 117th Engineers Train Came Through the Fight Safely. It will be indeed gratifying to Wil mingtonians to learn that all was well 'ith the members of the 117th engi neers train, Rainbow Division, on No vember 13, two days after, the armis tice was signed and hostilities ceased. This news was contained in a letter received yesterday by Mrs. Hines from her husband, Lieut. Ira A. Hines, of the Engineers' Company. This company was organized here early in the year andts personnel con sists principally of Wilmington 'boys. There has been much anxiety felt for he saftey of the men by relatives in Wilmington since they have been un aole to get any message concerning "heir fate. In his letter Lieutenant Hines stated 'hat hn and all other members of the 5ngine rs were safe, and he also told of th,e difference in appearance of t;1!ngS at the front, the night before lnd the night after the signing of the arniistice. '- - n the night of the 10th not even as 'Uch as a small tallow candle was al l0ed to burn anywhere on the front viere the lieutenant was located, but lJn tne night of the 11th the boys hadT np fires. Old Glory was waving m the air and a general celebration '"as heing held, and all within the und of the Germans. The lieutenant sam hr- heard the last gun fired on itir front before hostilities ceased. DEATH OF MRS. GORMAN. Est earned Lady Passed Away at James niker Hospital Yesterday. Mrs Elizabeth A.

City council is -expected to deter mine at tonight's meeting whether or not fire works may be ,sold in -the city. While this is ajmatter which has previously interested the Wilmington public and expressions are tAt tonight, such a meeting as was held last Monday night when council amended a , city J ordinance permitting the. operation of amusement devices in public parks, is not anticipated. Two years ago the city fathers pass ed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of fireworks in the city, and after two years had passed with everybody ap parently satisfied it was thought that the issue was closed. However, at the meeting last Monday night, c H Bornemann; an Orange street mer chant, requested permission of council ,S1 va fantity of craekers Which he has had on hand for about two years In view of the fact that air restrictions have been removed from fireworks by the department of the Interior, Mr. Bornemann thought it possible that council would do like wise, or -suspend existing laws long enough for him to dispose of the goods he has on hand. But it was stated by a member of council that the city had gotten along very nicely for the past two years without fireworks, and regardless of how council might feel. about the mat ter it was deemed proper to leave it open for a week to give the public an opportunity to enter protest if so de sired. There is another matter that will probably come up tonight also, this being that of making an appropriation the establishment and maintenance of a clinic for the treatment of venereal diseases. Agitation for a clinic ln Wil mington was started before the in fluenza epidemic and has only recently been revived again. The amount asked for now, however, is considerably less than before the epidemic, at that time the request having been made for 53,750. Government aid has been promised, which brings the amount asked of council down to $750, with a like appropriation by the county com missioners, the latter having already been made. A total of $1,500 is ask ed of the city' and county and with this made available the state and fed eral health departments 'vfUf' appro priate the same amount ar furnish the medicine. Action of council in this matter is problematical. COMPLETE FLANS FOR BOILER. A n v.ivrcTwm Rnnife k vt - v JJHJ Hns Model Showing What Steel Ships Built Here Will Look Like. A work of art is the pattern for the design for-the boiler and engine rooms for the steel ships which are being built in Wilmington by the Car olina Shipbuilding corporation and which has been perfected by Louis G. Mahns, a Hollander nine months in this country, who has been Engaged by the Carolina as foreman df the pattern shops. The type of engines and boilers to be installed in the big steel freighters has already been decided on, in fact one of the engines has arrived and is ready to be Installed when the hull is ready, and Mr. Mahns' work is to make the pattern for the rooms, utilizing all the available space ' surrounding the boiler and' engine to the best advan tage. With the dimensions of thie portion of the ship t be used for this purpose and with the knowledge of the space that will be occupied by the ma chinery, Mr. Mahns was able , to make patterns for the utilization of space, and in doing so he made a reproduction of card board of the engine, -boilers, the decks and the quarters for the crew. It is made in sections and may be taken down and explained in min ute detail. ' The engine is located just to the rear of the boilers, three in number, and over these are the mess hall and quar ters for the entire crew, including the officers of the ship. The coal bin is located between the boilers and en gine and Is elevated and so arranged that the coal "flows" from the bin to either side of the boilers ready to be shoveled, into the furnaces. Other bins are provided in another part of the vessel as retainers for surplus fuel. The miniature boilers, engine and rooms-are perfect in their get up and required considerable time in fig uring out the dimensions, cutting the patterns, but it is just as this part of the ship will appear when it is com pleted,' including, the skylights, etc. Mr. Mahns' part of the work is the most delicate in ship construction, that of supervising the woodwork flnislf ings on the interior, which requires a great amount' of skill. Mr. Mahns is a native of Amsterdam and has spent a number of years in ship construction work in Holland. - FUNERAL OF JOHN M. WIGGINS.

Members of Cape Fear Lodge No. 780 Assembled at Calvary Baptist Church Last Night Umbrella Presented to Mr. Sullivan. Speaking on the topic, ."Brotherly Love," Rev. J. A. Sullivan delivered the annual memorial sermon last night to members of Cape Fear lodge No. 780, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, who gathered at Calvary Baptist church to worship "with members of its congregation. It is a custom of this brotherhood to attend in a body once a year the services at various ohurches in the city, and as Mr. Sul livan said? Calvary was fortunate in having them as visitors last night. Because of the rain the number of trainmen attending the service was smaller than it otherwise might have been. In the course of his sermon Mr. Sullivan likened the ties binding the members of the brotherhood together to the rope used by the mountain guide when conducting a party of tourists up precipitous heights. As the rope is tied around the waist of the . guide and of each of the members in the climbing party so that if one should slip and fall the others in the party would sustain him. in the same manner the members of the Brotherhood of Trainmen are closely linked together and are prepared and willing to aid a brother when he falls. The three basic factors supporting the brotherhood's structure and enabl ing it to hold togethftr and pfomote the iwelfare of its members are benevol ence, sobriety and industry, "Mr. Sul livan declared. To be truly benevolent one must be a well wisher to his fel low men. He must have the desire to help those less fortunate than him self. Sobriety not only implies abstention from the use of Intoxicating liquors, Mr. Sullivan continued, but also signi fies soberness ln habits, quietness in demeanor, regard for the laws of sani tation in order to keep the body healthy and the mind sound. "Be sober in your demands upon capital;" he told his hearers. "Do not request those things which eventually may prove harmful to any class of society. Seek to co-operate with capital for the bene fit of mankind rather than pull away from it to the injury of your fellow workmen. When capital and labor work hand in hand for the good of the world, the golden age will have come." The sober. Industrial man, Mr. Sul livan stated, is the man ' upon whom the public can depend. Industry is the secret of success; it irmkes possible a prosperous home and a happy, con tented family, he added. "Work six days in the week and rest on the se venth, as the Lord himself did and intended you shoulddo. Only the in dustrious may know the joys of rest, but when you are enjoying yoxir rest on the Sabbath see that it is done in the proper manner." -'" At the close of the sermon Mr. Sul livan was presented, a handsome un brella as a token of esteem from the brotherhood of trainmen. On the mas sive silver handle of the umbrella are engraved the letters: "B. R. T. to J. Ar S." The presentation twas made with a few fitting" remarks by W. C. Oapps, secretary of Cape Fear lodge No. 780. RAIN AND THEN RAIN. More Than An Inch For 24 Hours End ,ed YesterdayClearing. Yesterday was again a "rainy Sun day" for fair, as it may paradoxically be expressed, more than an inch hav ing been recorded by the weather bu reau for the 24 hours ended at 8 o'clock last evening. ; The exact figure are 1.23 inches and that is "some" rain for anything but the "cloud bursts" of summer and the warmer weather period. Clearing and cooler is promised for today and everybody hopes that the forecaster at. Washington may "make good" on his prediction for with the month only half gone the precipitation is already bearing towards the three Inch mark, or 2.2 to be more exact. At Raleigh and Charlotte it was still raining at 8 o'clock last night, but neither city had the rainfall that Wil mington did for the preceding 24 hours, Charlotte having recorded only .18 and Raleigh .94. With the excep tion of Washington. D. C, where a rainfall of 1.44 was, recorded during the 24 hour period up to 8 o'clock last night, Wilmington had the heaviest rain of any city on the map, embrac ing everything east of the Misslesls sippi. NAVAL RESERVISTS RELEASED. Five Were Discharged From the Ser vice Friday Night. In the government's program of re leasing men from the service as fast as practicable,. Lieut. George P. El liott, commander of the local naval training station, Saturday, night re leased from service five young men of this city. They are Bert M. Schwab, J. M. Cowell, Charles B. Lynch, C. L. Carter and B. B. Jackson, Applica tion for the release of these men had been made and the ,request was grant ed in view of the "fact that their ser vices are' needed in their former civil pursuits and could be absorbed with out any disturbance whatsoever. The government is letting men out pf the service by degrees that there may be no clogging of the machinery in reverting the country from war to a peace footing. While no orders to that effect have been received here, it is expected that the men stationed here will be released from time to time as they can be absorbed Into com mercial and industrial activities. niES IN BOSTON, MASS.

Moore Calls on People of His Race To Rally to the Support of the Red Cross. " Prof. C. H. Moore, of Greensboro, has been asked to. assume the state chair manship for North Carolina for the Christmas Red Cross roll call among colored people, and has accepted. The invitatio to undertake -this work reached Prof. Moore too late -to get the colored people, organized throughout the state, and for this reason he has addressed an appeal to "the colored people of North Carolina" urging them J. to support the Red Cross. The appeal follows: "The object of the- Christmas roll call during the week of December 16th to 23rd is to enlist every -adult person in North Carolina as a member of the organization of the southern division of the Red Cross. Vlt must be remembered'that this is not a drive for funds, but that-it is an opportunity for every person in our state to become affiliated with the Red Cross, and thus have a part in1 the gi gantic task of -. reconstruction, which confronts the Red Cross overseas, and also to lend a helping hand in con tinuing the work of the Red Cross for the soldiers and sailors in this coun try and overseas. .. . "No less than 750,000 men took part in the last great offensive before the armistice was signed; this means a vast percentage of wounded and per manently disabled men. The Red CrosB seeks to give the, people of the coun try a chance to help in showing these men and every other man in the fight ing forces abrdad, as well as in the army camps at home, that their won: derful work has been fully apprecia ted. The Red Cross has not participa ted to the extent of a single penny of money in any recent drive or campaign for funds. The Christmas roll call mens that the Red Cross wants the co-dpjeration and endorsement of every person in the United States. "Therefore, as a race having shown", in the present struggle to make the world safe for democracy, that it is possessed of 100 per cent, of pure pa triotism, you cannot now be indifferent to the approaching roll call. Hence, this appeal to you to do your part, as you have already so nobly done, along with the other races In this country, in aiding to Jbring to a glorious, tri umphant close, the present horrible conflict in favor of the cause of vtruth and righteousness."

SSSBSSHSSMSSB Captain Mears Receives Letter From C. C. McLean. Prominent State Pythian Tells of the Esteem of the Italian People For President Wilson and the ... American People. - J ' .. Capt Thomas D. Meares. of this city, has received an Interesting letter from C. C.y'McLean, a former citizen and business man of Greensboro, and past grand chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Pythians of North Carolina, in which he tells of the esteem which President Wilson and the American people are held by the people of Italy. Mr. Mc Lean , knows whereof he speaks since he has been in the army Y. M. C. A. service in that, country for the past several months. The letter was written uncer date of November 20 and. postmarked Rome, where he has, headquarters, and fol lows: -''Have been wanting to get a chance to write you for some time,' but have not. We all are rejoicing in the fact that the war is over and that we will not have to go through another winter with our boys in the trenches. When I left - home-to enter the Y. M. f!. a work August 17, it was my intention to" go to France, but after reaching New a'two-weeks' trip on the ocean, going by. way of Montreal and landing at Liverpool, I went by rail to London and then to Southampton, Where we took a boat for Havre, thence by rail j to Paris and on to Bologna, Italy, our headquarters for Italy. At Bologna j I waa assigned to work here in Rome i and have been here since the 4th of j October. I am connected with that branch of the "Y" that works with the Italian army. I wish to say here that Italy is a great country and the peo ple have made much progress in spite of their handicaps, the people them selves are very fine and they do love America and Americans. The army of ficers co-operate in the finest spirit, and it is fine to see the way the soldiers take to our American" games. The "Y" has done fine work in all the countries and is a potent factor in binding Italy and America together in the ties of friendship and good will. The business men of America have the greatest opportunity for trade ex pansion if they will but grasp it. De lay will mean lost opportunity. 'I trust now that the war is over, we all may renew our interest and en deavors to advance the principles of our order. No greater obstacle to fu ture wars, or rather I should say, no influence for the prevention of wars th.an the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. can be found than in the principles upon which the or der, Knights of Pythias, is founded. Let us begin now while the fires of thankfulness and brotherly love are burning to get new members and re new our work more enthusiastically than ever before. Our brave soldier members will be returning soon and let's give.' them the glad hand of wel come and enlist them right off in our work by giving them something to do. No doubt before you get this letter there will be a state-wide campaign on for new members designated as "Peace Classes," or .such like names, and If so I wish you much success. While I am enjoying myself here in Rome I do so miss my lodge meetings every Mon day night. If it Is possible I hope to visit Sicily and go to Syraouse before I leave this country, "I often think of our fatherless ones at Clayton and I know that this Thanksgiving and' Christmas the Pyth ians of North Carolina will remember them more liberally than ever before j for we have so much to be thankful for. .When I left home I did not think that I would get home in time for the next meeting of the grand lodge, and while of course I do not know that I will, as my contract will not be up by then, yet I am in hopes that every thing will move along so smoothly that it will not be necessary for me to stay sq long, in which case -I hope to be at the grand lodge meeting and renew the friendships of the brothers throughout the state.

There was much optimism in rail road oircles last night over the pros pects for a large patronage of the two additional trains Inaugurated yester day on the Atlantic Coast Line be tween .Wilmington and Florence and Wilmington and Fayetteville. It was not expected that additional coaches would have to be put on to handle the passengers on the Initial trips, and the numbjer was equally as large as had been anticipated. There were around '40 passengers coming in on the train from Florence and about the same number from Fayetteville, but there were not quite as many 'going out in the afternoon. It is possible, however, that the traffic both ways would . have been a great deal heavier had it not been; for the inclement weather. It was stated last' night from an authoritative source that the business on the initial trips was very encour aging and indicated that the extra trains will receive , a very gratifying and profitable patronage. . It Jias been only a short time since the announce ment was made that the additional trains would be operated over these branches and it is not yet generally known that this service has been pro vided the people residing along the two lines. But with the inauguration of the advertising campaign which the merchants' 'bureau of the Chamber of Commerce is arranging to wage, it will soon be known by everyone that these schedules exist, and large patronage is expected.
