CARRY ON.

“Carry On” is the key-note of a Red Cross statement of policy just issued by national Red Cross beadquarters in view of the apparent nearness of peace with 'Germany. The statement which says “but even with peace let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross as finished,” was read by General Manager George E. .Scott of the Red Cross at a national 'Red Gross conference at Charago and was telegraphed to Lake Division headquarters for the information of i the thousands of Red Cross workers in the states of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. The statement reads: i “On February 10th last year, nearly six. weeks before the United States declared war, the national Red Cross headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war. That which followed in the records of the Red Cross in helping to win the war and to relieve the suffering growing out of dt, constitutes something of which every American citizen has a right to be proud. Every Red Cross worker must feel a sense of satisfaction in having had a share in it all. * “The moment now has come to pre-

pare for peace. Actual peace. may come at any moment; it mlay be deferred some time. But until peace is really here there can be no relaxation in anyTßed Cross effort to % % -d-g----in any Red Cross effort incident to aetice hostilities. “But even with peace, let no one suppose 'that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys stil are under arms; thousands of them are sick and wounded. Owing tQ a shortage of shipping at may take us a year or more to bring our boys home from France. But whatever (the time, our protecting arms must be about them and their families over the whole period that must elapse before normal peace hfe can be resumed. “Out soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the ,commander-in -chief tells them there is no more work for them to do. Let every Red Cross member and worker both man and woman, show our soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, wealth and happiness we ore enlisted for no less period than they.

world has never seem before, especially in many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue t® adt as their agent in repairing broken spirits and bodies. Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we can best minister to the vast broken areas which have been harrowed by war and for this great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American people ftvust continue to be mobilized through the American Red Cross. “On behalf of the War Council, we accordingly ask each member of out splendid body of workers throughout the land, to bear in mind the solemn obligation which resits upon each one of us to carry on. We cannot abate for am instant in our efforts or out spirits. There will 'be an abundance of work to do and even at the moment of peace, let no Red Cross worker falter. % “Our spirit must now call us to show that not the roar of cannon, nor the blood of our people alone directs our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligation and opportunity to serve.”

DEMANDS RETURN OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN

Paris, October 19.—The democratic Nouvelle, the present authoritative morning paper directed by Lysis, devoted a strong leading article yesterday to the subject of guaranties nec- ' essary to be given by Germany concerning Kiel canal. The article reads: “It is now recognized that the beginning of the Prussia npower dates not from the French defeat in 1870, but six years before, when Denmark was vanquished and forcd to sacrifice Schleswig-Holstein as a consequence. Kiel, which under the dominion of Denmark was never a menace •to -any one, fell into the hands of (Prussia and became the birthplace of the German navy. “Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein should be returned to Denmark; that is only just reparation. It wM also mean the restoration of the state of radnewhich if- it had been upset, would never have permitted Germany bo organize the conquest of Alsace-Lor-raine nor the present war.” ;

VICTORY IS CELEBRATED

ENTHUSIASTIC DEMONSTRATION MARKS RECEPTION OF VICTORY NEWS. ?’ .; The lid was pulled off Monday night and the people of Rensselaer and vicinity went wild with joy over the good news from “Over There.’* Possibly just a htble of the edge of the hilarity had been taken off by the premature celebration held on the 7th. But when it did not come seven it sure -came eleven. St. Joseph college band furnished the music. There was a big bon-ftre in Milroy park and stirring addresses were made by Revs. E. W. Strecber and J. Budman Fleming.

The Liberty Guards and the members of the Grand Army of the Republic were in the line of parade from the court house square to Milroy park.’ Thousands of people were in the city. The noise was deafening. The ringing of bells, Wowing of automobile horns and steam whistles and . the young lads with every conceivable instrument of noise helped to make the air ring with rapture. Fathers and mothers of boys in the service met and greeted one another with tears of joy. The bond of-fel-lowship between them was marked. All spoke of the even more joyful day, the happiest day of a lfetime, the day when the ’“boys cem'e home.*’ . Let us prepare -to be worthy sires of the grandest young men, the most gallant soldiers, the greatest heroes who, when the stone walls of liberty were assailed, went forth with the armor of true patriotism and won ithe victory, the greatest victory ever Won in the sacred cause of humanity.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The local county board of health has released the county-wide quarantine to ®ke effect Wednesday morning! The schools in the county wiH open on that date (Nov. 13) except in those districts where the “flu” is still hanging on. Superintendent Sterrett has written urgent appeals to the teachers t» keep a careful watch over their schools .throughout the coming winter. Plenty of fresh air without reducing the temperature t>elow 60 degrees, plenty of open air play, dry feet as well as warm, clean wholesome eats coupled with plenty of pure milk, are a few of the many suggestions urged by the board of health. Whenever a child feels a chill followed with a fever, headache, eyes aching, and general debility it is pretty clear evidence that a cose of “flu” is in school. Teachers should send the pupil home at once and parents should be instructed to isolate the child in the house and compell ft to remain in bed. This malady has and is being spread by negligent older people. The flu is very infectious and it requires more precaution in this than a disease as dreadful as cholera. The reason that strict quarantine is not required of each home is that there is a case of it dh nearly every home whence strict quarantine might work greater evil than the way it i 3. Parents and teachers must co-operate an this matter so that our boys and girls can continue in school. This disease is worse than the great world war to us. The war on the Kaiser is over but this flu is not conquered. Patrons will now change their fighting lanes and come to the health board rescue. We will soon win this second great war if patrons will not treat this dreadful disease as a sort of Joke. \ ‘ A few resignations have occurred during this forced vacation. Zelda Daugherty, who taught at Burnstown in Barkley township has resigned to join the nurses corps. Jennie Eib will finish the term there. Grace Halleck who taught the Gleason school in Keener township bias resigned and Frances Davis has been procured to teach there. The place in Carpenter township.made vacant by the death of Edna Christenson has not been fiHed as yet. It is very likely that other resignations will come to the surface when school convenes Wednesday. The new board of trustees elected at the polls will take their offices on Jan. 1, T 919. The following townships will be represented by the following trustees: Barkley, Grant Davisson reelected; Carpenter, Burdette Porter reelected; GHam, F. Lafever; Hanging Grove, W. E. Poole reelected; Jordan, Julius Huff; Kankakee, Alfred Duggleby; Keener, Clifford Fairchil, reelected; Marion, Rev. C. W. Postill; Miboy, Charles Wood; Newton, John Rush reelected; Union, Walter Harrington; Walker, Jtihn Pettet; Wheatfield, John Bowie It will be noted that there will be eight new faces to transact the educational work for the county beginning their work in January. The five reelected tructees wifi be very helpful advisors to the newly elected men in these board meetings until they get acquainted with the trustees’ work.
