Patriotic kally
(Special   Contributory
Due to the fact thut there were other-meetinKs last Saturday niKht.| the HiKh School auditorium w.as no. j aN crowded as It would havq. been otherwise Nevertheless, a Koodly number attended the rally, which shows that politics cannot overshad¬ ow patriotism alto!.;ether.
To beKin with, "The Star SpanKled Banner' was sanK by all and anyone down in the street hearinK them would think that the auditorium was overcrowded. .\fter Judge Swezey had introduced the speakers for the eveninK. Mrs. Milbank, to whom much credit is due for her tireless en¬ ergy in keepinK the enthusiasm of the assembly running hiph, spoke. Then Dr. Curtice spoke on a variety of subjects but more lenKthily and in- terestiimiy on the Red Cross orKun- ization. The Boy Scouts then Kave a demonstration on how to resuscitate suffocated people and how to carry them away from the place of danger. Followed "another souk, "We're Tent¬ ing ToniKht," by the assembly. Then came Lieutenant Saultier, who has charge of drillinK a certiiin body of recruits in New York. He spoke on "The Citizen—Man and Woman—And What They Can Do To Help." At the beginning of his speech, the lieu¬ tenant disclaimed all title to an ora¬ torical genius, but what he lacked in this he made up with interest in earnestness.
Mr. Swezey aKain spoke, announc¬ ing a large meeting to be held to dis¬ cuss preparedness and a Home De¬ fense League. "America" was sung, the flag salut€;d and the meeting ad¬ journed. Mr. Saultier stayed a while longer answering any military ques¬ tions that might be asked.
Those who have been wakened by the varions speakers would do well to stay awake, and communicate, as Mrs. Milbank and others pointed out, with Mrs. Milbank or any other Red Cross worker and join the local chapter.

are many whose public spirit may bo expected to lead them lo send a con¬ tribution "who have not yet been heard' from. This is a mal ter so apparent¬ ly good for the lioy life of the village that every one should wish to help. -All contributions addressed to Boy .Scouts, Troop No. 1, .Merrick, Bo\ .V-l will be duly acknowleclge.
.Many llags (lying during llie Iu8t week have given good testimony to Ihe patriotism of the village. Mer¬ rick must be ready to do its bit in wiiatever rircuiiislance of need shall arise. We probably shall hear soon from some appointee of the (JoM-rnor .1.-^ to what we should and may do; but in the meaiitiiiie should we not get together ourselves and perhaps do a litlle drilling under a coiiijietent in- .^iructor'.' Why not a meeting in the lire bill! to talk things over and "keep the pot a-boiling" inspired by the ad¬ .lress on .Monday last of Pres. Wil¬ son, It was truly a great word he spoke of noble manhood and purpose. PJnthusiasm must be stirred and main¬ tained throughout the country and so let us be up and doing. There is no plaie for slackers. 'I'he times <-all for men.
