The following copy of acknowledg¬ ment was sent to the Soldiers Welfare Association by Piivate Franklin Dor¬ man, son of Mrs. Bertha Dorman of Morria Street, Freeport. •
Private Dorman enlisted in th».«t4 69th Regiment and sailed for Francs a year ago. He has been over tho top six times and has been cited for bravery under shell fire. He and. his companion, Karl Kemp, of this vil¬ lage, with one other comrade, are thc only ones leitin his detail:
Head()uarters, 42nd Division A. E. F., France To the Officers and Men of the 42n(l Divisidn:— /
A year 'has elapsed since the for¬ mation of your organization. It ^s therefore fitting to consider what you have accomplished as a combat divi¬ sion and what you should prepare to accomplish in the future.
Your first elements entered the trenches in Lorraine on February 21. You aerved on that front for 110 days. You were the first American Divisiod to hold a divisional Sector and when you left the sector June 21 you had served continuously as a division in the trenches for a longer time than any other American division. Al¬ though you entered the sector with¬ out experience in actual warfare, you so conducted yourselves as to win the respect anfl affection of the French veterans with whom you fought. Un¬ der gaa and bombardment, in raids, in patrols, in the beat of hand-to-hand combat and in the long dull hours oi the trench routine so trying to a sol¬ dier's spirit, you bore yourselves in a manner Xvorthy of the traditions of our country.
You were withdrawn from Lorraine and moved immediately to the Cham¬ pagne front where during the critical days from July 14 to July 18, you had the honor of being the only American division to flght in Gen. Gouraud's army, which so gloriously obeyed his order, "We will stand or die," and by its iron defense crushed the German assault and made possible the offen¬ sive of July 18 to the west of Rheims.
Fi^om Champagne you were called to take part' in exploiting the success north of the Mame. Fresh from the battle front, before Chalons, you were thrown against the picked troops of Germany. For eight consecutive days, ycu attacked skilfully prepared pj^i- tions. You captured great stores of arms and munitions. You forced the crossings of the Ourcq. You took IJill 212, Sergy, Mency Ferme and Seringes by assault. You drove the enemy, including an Imperial Guard Division, before you for a depth Of fifteen kilometers. When your in¬ fantry was relieved, it was in full pursuit of the retreating Germans, and your artillery continued to progress and support another American Divi¬ sion in the advance ta,the Vesle.
For your services in Lorraine your Division was formally commented in General Orders by the French Army Corps under which you 'served.' For your services in Champagne, your as¬ sembled officers received the personal thanks and commendation of Gen. Gouraud himself. For your services on the t)urcq, your division was offi¬ cially complimented in a letter from the Commanding General, 1st Army Corps, of July 28, 1918.
To your auccess, all ranks and all services have contributed, and I de¬ sire to express to every man in the command my appreciation of his de¬ voted and courageous' effort.
However, our positions place a bur¬ den of responsibility upon us which we must strive to bear steadily for¬ ward Without faltering. To our com¬ rades who have fallen, we owe the sacred obligation ^of maintaining th? reputation wAich "Ih^y died to estab^ lish. The influence of our perform¬ ance on our AJlies and our enemies cannot be over-estimated for we were one of the first divisions sent from our country to France to show the world that Americans can flght.
Hard battles and long campaigns lie before us. Only by ceaseless vigi¬ lance and tireless preparation can we fit ourselves for them, I urge you, therefore, to approach,the future with confidence but above all with firm de¬ termination that so far as it is in your power you will spare no effort whether in training or in combat to maintain the record of our division and the honor of our country. (Signed) CHAS. T. MENOHER,
Major General, U. S. Army.
War Department, P. O. and Red Cross Arrange to For¬ ward Gifts—Must Observe Instrudicms.
Detailed instructions regarding Christmas boxes for men overseas have just been issued through the Red Cross. The amount of shipping space set aside for the transportation of Christmas parcels will permit the sending of but one parcel to each man. To avoid duplication and to make sure that each parcel will be correctly ad¬ dressed a Christmas parcel label has been issued to each man abroad. He has been instructed to mail this to a relative or friend on this side who, upon ita receipt will prepare the pack¬ age in co-operation with the Red Cross. Lost labels cannot be dupli¬ cated.
All persons receiving labels must present them to the district branch of the Red Cross.where they will re¬ ceive a carton three by four by nipe* inches in size. This can be filled with any articles mailable under the Post Office regulations, provided the total weight of the package whqn wrapped does not exceed three pounds.
The Red Cross suggests the elimina¬ tion of woolen articles since these are distributed directly to the men in France. Dried fruits shoul be packed in tin foil.
Parcels ready for shipment must be presented to Red Cross inspectors for examination before Novejfiber 15. These inspectors must exclude all un- mailable articles, rei^ove any written note or message, wrap, tie and label the package with the Christmas label sent by the soldier. The sender then affixes sufficient postage to carry the parcel to Hoboken, N. J., a^ domestic parcel post rates.
Be sure not to lose your label.

And Now for Some Music!
General Pershing is urging more music for his men. In lonely dugout and isolated camp where musical in¬ struments are scarce, it is the phono¬ graph that.kring8 the cheer and drives out the "blues," and helps to keep our boys ready to do the wonderful things we read of with so much pride.
So there has come a call for more phonographs, records and needles. Thousands have been distributed in this country and "over there," but many more thousands are needed. If each one of us wonld give our old rec¬ ords—^the ones we are tired of, the ones we have "played to death"—these slacker records would soon be doing their bit to help someone who is homesick, lonely, suffering—afraid, perhaps—to find new courage.
Any make record; any kind of a rec¬ ord, so long as it is neither cracked nor scratched, will be accepted by the National Phonograph Record Recruit¬ ing Corps of New York City. Dance records, sacred records, records in any foreign tongue, all are equally accept¬ able. And jJOn't forget that spare packiage of needles! Many a good phonograph has' been dumb for the want of a needle.
Between now and November 9 we are 'going to try to round up all the slacker records in Freeport. The Elks Club has very kindly offered to re¬ ceive all records, that are brought to them. If you cannot take them there yourkelf, phone and a Boy Scout will collect them. For further information phone the Elks Club or Mrs. Frank Allen, No. 11-J Freeport.

Kindly make checks payable to Preeport Branch, American Red Cross, and send to Mn. Charles M. Hart, chairman, Finance Committee, 160 West Merrick Road, Preeport, L. I.
A change in the regulation govern¬ ing Red Cross membership has been made whereby all annual memberships (members paying $1. per year) expire with the calendar year. All annual memberships thus will commence Jan¬ uary 1 and end December 31.
It is therefore suggested that those whose memberships expire at the pres¬ ent time or before December 31, wait until the Christmas membership drive before renewing their memberehip.
During the present influenza epi¬ demic many of our Freeport Red Cross workers are doing a most pat¬ riotic work acting as Red Cross nurses' aids at the camp hospitals.
Among those who go regularly are Mrs. Henry L. Maxson and Mrs. Rob¬ ert H. Earon, who are stationed at the Post Hospital, Hazelhurst, Field 1; and Mrs. Hamilton King, Mrs. Fred E. Story,. Miss Marion Jones and Miss Marion Copeiand, stationed at the Camp Mills Emergency Hospital.
The reports from' the doctors and, the trained nurses state that the ser vices of the volunteer workers from all communities throughout Nassa i County have been invaluable in this present emergency.
We are pleased to note that a num¬ ber of the Liberty Girls of 1918 have also been assisting in the camp hos¬ pitals.
Knitted Articles for Soldiers
The National Headquarters of the Red Cross desire the widest publicitx given to the following statement of their position on the subject of dis¬ tribution of knitted articles to sol¬ diers:
"We have no.doubt that the women of your Division are fully aware of the limitations rn the supply of yam, as stated in our various letters on the subject. The yarn we have on hand, if properly conserved and made up into the articles sent to you in our production orders, will take care of the requirements of .the Departments of Foreign Relief and Military Relief for the present season. The distri¬ bution of knitted articles through these channels ijisures the best pos¬ sible use of the garments.
"We, therefore, feel very strongly that there should bc no further dis¬ tribution made directly to draftees by local chapters and their branches of knitted articles made from mater¬ ials bought with Red Cross funds. By following this procedure the men will be adequately taken care of by the Red Cross representatives of the De¬ partment of Military Relief who are atti^ched to all the camps and canton¬ ments and we believe if the women in the chapten and branches under¬ stand this fact, they will agree that the course we have been forced to adopt in this matter is both wise and necessary.
COMFORT KITS: "Because of the rapid movement of troops oveneas with a limited amount of space for carrying the necessary eqnipment which must go with them on the trans¬ ports, at the request of General Per¬ shing, the (ieneral Staff has issued an order stating definitely what arti¬ cles may be taken by the men as per¬ sonal baggage, and also what articles will be shipped with them as organiza¬ tion property.
"All articles not absolutely essen¬ tial to the comfort and well being of the men have bfen excluded from this list. The War department has ruled that metn vrill not be allowed to take comfort kits with them. As practi¬ cally all articles contained in the Red Cross comfort kit can be obtained by the men in the camps and cantonments in the United Stetes, the R^ Cross has di»cided not to distribute iomfort kits to men for use in this country. The-ited Cross will,' however, be able to ''arrange for shipment overseas, through the regular freight channels of a large quantity of comfort kits for distribution throug:h its Foreign Commissions. We have decided to make such shipments becaus^ we feel that under conditions existing over tliere. our kits provide additional com¬ fort for the men, which is really ap- prtcinted. and that the. expenditures of funda for kits to be distributed in this way ia fully justifiable.

The following copy of acknowledg¬ ment was sent to the Soldiers Welfare Association by Piivate Franklin Dor¬ man, son of Mrs. Bertha Dorman of Morria Street, Freeport. • Private Dorman enlisted in th».«t4 69th Regiment and sailed for Francs a year ago. He has been over tho top six times and has been cited for bravery under shell fire. He and. his companion, Karl Kemp, of this vil¬ lage, with one other comrade, are thc only ones leitin his detail: Head()uarters, 42nd Division A. E. F., France To the Officers and Men of the 42n(l Divisidn:— / A year 'has elapsed since the for¬ mation of your organization. It ^s therefore fitting to consider what you have accomplished as a combat divi¬ sion and what you should prepare to accomplish in the future. Your first elements entered the trenches in Lorraine on February 21. You aerved on that front for 110 days. You were the first American Divisiod to hold a divisional Sector and when you left the sector June 21 you had served continuously as a division in the trenches for a longer time than any other American division. Al¬ though you entered the sector with¬ out experience in actual warfare, you so conducted yourselves as to win the respect anfl affection of the French veterans with whom you fought. Un¬ der gaa and bombardment, in raids, in patrols, in the beat of hand-to-hand combat and in the long dull hours oi the trench routine so trying to a sol¬ dier's spirit, you bore yourselves in a manner Xvorthy of the traditions of our country. You were withdrawn from Lorraine and moved immediately to the Cham¬ pagne front where during the critical days from July 14 to July 18, you had the honor of being the only American division to flght in Gen. Gouraud's army, which so gloriously obeyed his order, "We will stand or die" and by its iron defense crushed the German assault and made possible the offen¬ sive of July 18 to the west of Rheims. Fi^om Champagne you were called to take part' in exploiting the success north of the Mame. Fresh from the battle front, before Chalons, you were thrown against the picked troops of Germany. For eight consecutive days, ycu attacked skilfully prepared pj^i- tions. You captured great stores of arms and munitions. You forced the crossings of the Ourcq. You took IJill 212, Sergy, Mency Ferme and Seringes by assault. You drove the enemy, including an Imperial Guard Division, before you for a depth Of fifteen kilometers. When your in¬ fantry was relieved, it was in full pursuit of the retreating Germans, and your artillery continued to progress and support another American Divi¬ sion in the advance ta,the Vesle. For your services in Lorraine your Division was formally commented in General Orders by the French Army Corps under which you 'served.' For your services in Champagne, your as¬ sembled officers received the personal thanks and commendation of Gen. Gouraud himself. For your services on the t)urcq, your division was offi¬ cially complimented in a letter from the Commanding General, 1st Army Corps, of July 28, 1918. To your auccess, all ranks and all services have contributed, and I de¬ sire to express to every man in the command my appreciation of his de¬ voted and courageous' effort. However, our positions place a bur¬ den of responsibility upon us which we must strive to bear steadily for¬ ward Without faltering. To our com¬ rades who have fallen, we owe the sacred obligation ^of maintaining th? reputation wAich "Ih^y died to estab^ lish. The influence of our perform¬ ance on our AJlies and our enemies cannot be over-estimated for we were one of the first divisions sent from our country to France to show the world that Americans can flght. Hard battles and long campaigns lie before us. Only by ceaseless vigi¬ lance and tireless preparation can we fit ourselves for them, I urge you, therefore, to approach,the future with confidence but above all with firm de¬ termination that so far as it is in your power you will spare no effort whether in training or in combat to maintain the record of our division and the honor of our country. (Signed) CHAS. T. MENOHER, Major General, U. S. Army. War Department, P. O. and Red Cross Arrange to For¬ ward Gifts—Must Observe Instrudicms. Detailed instructions regarding Christmas boxes for men overseas have just been issued through the Red Cross. The amount of shipping space set aside for the transportation of Christmas parcels will permit the sending of but one parcel to each man. To avoid duplication and to make sure that each parcel will be correctly ad¬ dressed a Christmas parcel label has been issued to each man abroad. He has been instructed to mail this to a relative or friend on this side who, upon ita receipt will prepare the pack¬ age in co-operation with the Red Cross. Lost labels cannot be dupli¬ cated. All persons receiving labels must present them to the district branch of the Red Cross.where they will re¬ ceive a carton three by four by nipe* inches in size. This can be filled with any articles mailable under the Post Office regulations, provided the total weight of the package whqn wrapped does not exceed three pounds. The Red Cross suggests the elimina¬ tion of woolen articles since these are distributed directly to the men in France. Dried fruits shoul be packed in tin foil. Parcels ready for shipment must be presented to Red Cross inspectors for examination before Novejfiber 15. These inspectors must exclude all un- mailable articles, rei^ove any written note or message, wrap, tie and label the package with the Christmas label sent by the soldier. The sender then affixes sufficient postage to carry the parcel to Hoboken, N. J., a^ domestic parcel post rates. Be sure not to lose your label. \»een made during the past week Russejl Park Helpers, Mrs. Chmey, treas. Mrs. Herbert Reast (monthly) J Mrs. Teas Airs. Ered Wright (fl monthly) Mrs; Annie T.

In lonely dugout and isolated camp where musical in¬ struments are scarce, it is the phono¬ graph that.kring8 the cheer and drives out the "blues" and helps to keep our boys ready to do the wonderful things we read of with so much pride. So there has come a call for more phonographs, records and needles. Thousands have been distributed in this country and "over there" but many more thousands are needed. If each one of us wonld give our old rec¬ ords—^the ones we are tired of, the ones we have "played to death"—these slacker records would soon be doing their bit to help someone who is homesick, lonely, suffering—afraid, perhaps—to find new courage. Any make record; any kind of a rec¬ ord, so long as it is neither cracked nor scratched, will be accepted by the National Phonograph Record Recruit¬ ing Corps of New York City. Dance records, sacred records, records in any foreign tongue, all are equally accept¬ able. And jJOn't forget that spare packiage of needles! Many a good phonograph has' been dumb for the want of a needle. Between now and November 9 we are 'going to try to round up all the slacker records in Freeport. The Elks Club has very kindly offered to re¬ ceive all records, that are brought to them. If you cannot take them there yourkelf, phone and a Boy Scout will collect them. For further information phone the Elks Club or Mrs. Frank Allen, No. 11-J Freeport.
