S.?The acceptance of the appointment as Roll Call chairman Tor Newberry of Mr. Hal Kohn has been received at headquarters of the Southern Division of the American Red Cross. Mr. Kohn will immediately begin active WQrk of organization to make the Roll Call the most far-reaching in. the history of Newberry. Increased and extended activities of the Red Cross make this appointment one of tremendous importance this year. _ 1 . , Activities of the Red Cross are sc extensively enlarged that a maximum membership must be obtained in order that the growing demands made on the-organization may be met. The work of the Red Cross for disabled veterans of the World war and members of their families has reached absolutely staggering proportions. The numbers of soldiers in hospitals under government care has growr from 3,000 in 1919 to 26,0Q0 in 1921 and the new year is expected to see this number increased in even greater proportion. The work that the Red Cross has undertaken in connection with the ex-soldier is to furnish the connecting link between the veteran and his family that needs aid on the one hand and the government that is glad to furnish this aid on the other. The Red Cross has realized that there must be a humanizing element connecting the man and the compensation or hospital treatment furnished by the bureaus at Washington. The man can not regain his health in a government hospital when ht- realizes that hi? loved ones ai home may be suffering in the meamvnile. He can riQt acquire the new usefulness that vocational training strives to give him irtrr 11C Li.lii.lXVO V11CIO nilliC 11C iO ? VIMUf, to attain this usefulness, the folks back home are feeing the pangs of N Pfivation. Finding work for these veterans, seeing to it that in this work they anpermitted to enjoy the priviit;:e? that were theirs before they answered their country's call, are functions that come within the scope of endeavor of the Red Cross. T^n-yi r. rr +Vi o / nrron'f votir tV?p T?pH Cross spent $10,000,000 on this soldier work and more money was needed and needed desperately. The fifth Roll Call makes it it3 aim to see that every single case is adequately provided for. Hardly less important is the work undertaken by the Public Health Nursing service of the Red Cross. A brave little army of nurses his been widely scattered over a vast terrain in the South in the best tactical positions to give the benefit of their ser |Vices not only in a personal way ir (thousand? of homes entered by affliction but to extend the benefit of then experience and knowledge in teach' ing the basic principles cf health am hygiene and proper care of the sick ! in homes where such things have beer | unheard of. ' Evprvwherp this service has beer j installed there have been demands .from neighboring: sections for 2 I nurse. Soon it must extend to every neighborhood of every county or par, ish. in the South. The Roll Call rejsponse makes this sen-ice possible, j And then these nurses form a reiser ve army that can be assembled immediately in eases of national stress j or local calamity. There was nc flood, cyclone, or fire in the Sout/i 1 during the year of 1921 that did nol (find a force of Red Cross nurses, .properly equipped and ready for jmost arduous service, on the sri-nt J within twelve hours after the d;.^;.~ ter. j Should another war come, thest j these nurses would form the nucleus : of the same splendid Red Cross organization that did such noble wort Jin '17, '18 and '19 and by having this .nurses would form the nucleus would be functioning practically or ja moment's notice. j These are just a few of the phases ithat the organization is undertak*i] > I in its peace program. The success o1 .'all nativities naturallv depends jon the response of communities tc the Roil Call, i FAILURE AT CRATER DISMAYS GEN. GRAN1 J. Russell Wright Tells of Stirring Events Around Historic Petersburg ; Saluda Standard, 27th. i _ Sometime ago I promised to give ? description of the springing of the mine ai Petersburg, Va. The historj of General Grant's campaign by the left flank from the Rapidan to the defenses around Petersburg ij too familiar to- need any description. The best equipped army ever marshallec on American soil at that time crossec the Rapidan on the 2nd and 3rd-oj May, 1884, with a total roll of 141, 160 men fit for duty in the field. Tc ' meet this vast force General Lee could muster barely more than 50, 000 men. In the "Southern Histori ical Papers," Vol, 6, page 144, ther? 'appears the following statement ! "Grant says he lost 'n this eampaigr [ from Wilderness to Cold Harbor .139,000 men but Swinton put the los; Jat 60,000 and says his real loss wa: nearer 100,000 men."' From Cok i -i.. T, 1 1, .'narDor, wnere ms men jiuouuizuj refused to go like dumb animals intc - the jaws of death to the battle of th< -j Crater, General Grant in his officia ; report s^ows a loss of 29,438 men ; making a total loss as admitted, oi ; 68,436, just about one-half of th< {Vast army when he crossed the Rapi , da-n. $uch tremendous Josses to^ th< [ enemy meant of necessity irreparable . losses to our army, though Genera , Lee had repelled every assault ant succeeded in carrvine a large major ity of the aggressive movements [ made by him. - * In the light of such experience i' was not surprising that Grant sough ; some other and different -means o: [ assault than those ordinarily employ 'ed. So he decided that a mine undei ,! our works should be placed and se . loff. The excavation was commence* '| on June 25 and completed Julv 28 , The main gallery of the mine \v\t . 1522 feet in length and the size of ih? 'galleries was feet each. ,j "Official Records," Series 1, Vol part 1, pages 137, 556, 653 says: "Oi July 29th General Grant issued an or i der that this general assault be madt , on the next day, July 30th, leaving ' nil + oils 4-V**-* pni?ir?iip au uic ut tans, tut cyiiiis, Jing of thi mine, to Major Genera l j\Iead?. ard he on the same day issuvf | instructions for the guidance of >1 I concerned. Among these were'th< 1; : following: "At 3:30 on the morning j of July 30th Major General Burnsid( j (this is the man 'that General Le? whipped to death at the battle oi Fredericksburg December 13th, 1862 and ran his army across the Ajjpoma :tox river after night) will set the | mine off and his assaulting columns {will immediately move rapidly upor jthe breach, seize the c^ in the rear land effect a lodgment there.

But the mine was not exploded until 4:45, just one hour and fifteen j minutes after * the appointed hour ; General Grant, on the next day afJter the explosion, after he had iearnled of its complete failure but before he was aware of hew disastrous the failure was, thus reported to Genera] i Haliock, chief of staff: "Having a i . ' minp nrpnarpH rnnrtino- for a Histnrif'P 'of eighty feet, and twenty-two feet below the surface of the ground ready loaded with 85,000 pounds of powder, and covered v\:\> made near to the enemy's line ^ ; rung at 5 ^o'clock this morning 4 -.-v. - lp four ifguns and burying most of a Sou:h - Carolina regiment.

We | have retaken the salient and driven j the enemy back to his lines with a I great loss. (Signed) "R. E. Lee." This severe check seems to have j cured Grant of his taste for poundling, pegging away; during the autumn the army of the Potomac fought with pick and shovel rather than the I rifle and sword, the operations were slow, uninteresting, but ali the more ; r-riticai and decisive. General Johnson has this to say: I "On the morning of July 3Utft at 14:30 o'clock we were aroused from ! sleep by a most awful explosion. As ! we arose the earth trembled like a bowl of jelly, no that we could scarce i ly keep our feet." He says the crater i measured 135 feet in length and 97 feet in breadth and 30 feet deep. These are historic facts from the war records at Washington. I will state here, that after Graft's army reached (Petersburg in 1804 had it recruited to 145,000 men, while Lee's army was then less than 40,000 and growing less daily. But the two lines stood there in talking distance for almost a year. Why didn't he capture Lee's army before then? Because he was not a brilliant general.
