A booth h s been arranged and will be provided with jjood things ' t.> ....t Keverybody who has the slightest .' interest in the comfort and welfare ^ of our hrave soldier hoys should spend some money at this booth. There ire now more than one hundred IJ. S. soldiers and sailors in tier- ^ man prison camps and the only thin^ | " that stands between these men and . starvation is tin- lt"d Cross and the Y. M. ('. A. </'ilv las! week a small patrol of American soldiers were captured by the (iermans. The number of American prisoners in (icrman | prison camps is sure to increase and i we may be certain that each one will j feeel that his life depends upon the par!.;.ires of food furnished at repu- j l.r intervals by the American Red Cross Society. This is only one of the activities of J this wonderful organization. The ~ Red Cross nurse is a symbol of humanity and mercy the world over. If * 1- - - i * ? mi- w.-tr I'onnnucs mucn Hinder, and it surely will, it is high'y probable ' that some Chesterfield County hoys will ere long receive the ruin's4ration of the angels of mercy. This work also calls for funds, as none are provided save what is freely given. The Chesterfield Chapter is now engaged in making various hospital ^ supplies for our soldiers, also knitting sweaters, socks, etc. These la-, rlies are giving frcdy of their labor. ^ You can help some if you patronize their booth to-day, to-morrow and Thursday. , ITALIANS NOT COWARDS ' When word was received in this country that the Huns had smashed through the Italian army, capturing one hundred thousand soldiers and ovi "-ruoi.I.ig, >.i iiiMi and square miles of territory, there was a tendency to use an ugly word in characterizing the Italian soldier. Subsequent information has served to free the Italians of any suspicion f cowardice. A Koine despatch says: "Describ- 1 iog the evens of the Italian retreat of ? October 27 and later, a correspondent f the Associated I'ress says General uori/.apa was iranporieo i<? i.ume, i suffering from 1 1 wounds. All his stair ollieers wore k111 <*<| or wounded t and only throe of his f?0 horsomon es ori remained alive, (Je.nernl Hadogi'e vith his 1'". .i(-ri stood on Matojuar, the new Thermopylae of the Austrian offensive, commanding the i line from Caporeto to Cividalc, (i^hthir without hope, hut also without W?e idea of surrender. Of three regiments of Bersatrlieri, only one lieu- | tenant remained alive and he was wounded." t ; That doesn't sound like a eowardly , ret reat.
