Amfcler   District   Should    Raise   $50,030
— $1Cj,000,COO the National Aim in the
War    Campaign    Fund—IVIethods    of
V/ork Outlined.
'iiio special effort of the national Rod Cross to raise $100,OjO,000 lor it.s war campaign fund, means that the Ambler bi-amli of the .soutlieu.slerii dis¬ trict of tlie state society sliould jile^Jsj about $50,UOU of this amount.
In   order    to   properly   i'anvas.s     the i "ess Ambler district   L'« teams of collector.s
l)-divi.sion:-i pe that all person.s will have the opportunity ot pledging some aid in the movement. The Xortli Penn Republican club is beiiiK used as a headquarters for the campaign fund this week, and there the teams are re¬ porting daily as to the linancial iiledges received. A clock at Roberts' drug store will dixihr record the total of the pledges.
In addition to the 20 teams of eon- Vitssers, the Boy Scouts, on Tuesday, stationed themselves at all the road Intersections surroundihs Ambler, and they are thus requesting aid in this momentous campaign. Girls on the streets, und^r tlie direction of Mrs. H. V. Kverham, are selling flowers foi- the same cause, and all the agencies /hat can ])ossibly be put to work are making a mighty effort to help the cause.
Every working man can aid the cause, and many have already done so by pledging some part of their weekly wage for the Red Cross. In the follow¬ ing manufacturing plants of this dis¬ trict the employes h'ave pledged one day's wages to the cause : Keasbey & Mattlson company, Cruse-Kemper company. Ambler; Krupp foundry works, Abram Cox Stove company, I^ansdale, and the Philadelphia, Su¬ burban Gas & Electric company, Jen- kintown.
The movement received a splendid impetus at the mass meeting in Am¬ bler opera house, last Thursday even¬ ing, and some of the facts stated there gave an idea of the momentous and highly important work being done, and yet to be performed by the Red Cross. Among the data given is that there are now in the allied armies 25,000 American men, who will soon be under General Pershing, with 12,000 engin¬ eers, 500,000 of the national , guard, 500,000 from the compulsory service and 160,000 in the navy, or a total of 1,187,000 before the end of this year— and that is only a beginning. The brunt of the war is now up to the United States, and we must furnish the •push" to win the contest.
We of the home guard must send the supplies.    It requires 20 tons of equip

finish" off anything, but Keep On
Ordinarily the Red Cross looks after |.i»'*Wi.t jdiss^tgrs. It has haA^flfltne in,- ternationalf:experJerice; herj^F'lt pre¬ sents itself with a fully developed or¬ ganization ready to cope with the threo chi f   lines  of  work :
I'irst—The care, in many ways, of our American soldiers and  sailors.
Second—Reconstruction in the des¬ troyed districts.
Third—Care ot the families at home of the soldiers and sailors who are llfihting  our  battles.
Warning—All solicitors will wear the official   "Solicitor"  badge.
It must maintain the ambulances, the first aid ^vork, the mobile base hos- l)itals. which have to be moved fre¬ quently to keep themwithin reasonable distance of the lighting front. Tlie bases are usually of .'500 beds, which means eight sheets for each, and the clothin.g, bandages, surgeons, nurses, food, medicines and the transportation to move the improved patients back to other hospitals, out of the way of the new patients who are constantly pouring in. On the moving line must be refreshment stations and depart¬ ments of all other supplies.
In addition, there is the care of the mails, the tracing of soldier.s' and sail¬ ors' families and keeping them happily in touch with each other—this, too, has been placed in the hands of the Red Cross.
One branch that thotight Itself su¬ perbly equipped was completely ex¬ hausted by the needs of the Eddystone disaster. Conditions on the battle fronts, so far as instant demands are concerned for Red Cross relief, are e(|uivalent to a continuous succession of Eddystone disasters, so that tn equip the Red Cross thoroughl.v means continuous and ever increasing work on the part of all—.lust as the success of our arms at the front means every man doing his full, complete and val¬ iant duty—not only once—but just as frequently as conditions arise in order to bring about the defeat of militar¬ ism, to insure victory and to jjcrpetuate peace—but in the meantime all rriust work for the Red Cross.

SInturday afternoon on the South Spring Garden street ball grounds a game of base ball will be pteyed for the cause. Knight's "Kickers" and Dager's "Dumplings" are the oppos¬ ing teams.
but lor some reason, our boys gummed the whole proceeding at the psycholo¬ gical moment and he again tasted de¬ feat. It appears as though tlie locals have thrown inside baseball, as it is called, to the wind, and every inning they tried to knock the ball out of the lot. The result of this style of play is easily figured out, the opposing pitch¬ er knows that all he has to do to beat us is to keep the ball close up to the I'atter, and the fielders will do the rest.
The Ambler nine Is a much better team than has oeen shown thus far this season, but there is no denying the fact that up to this stage of the sea¬ son the boys have failed to prove that they have not forgotten the finer points of the game and that they can keep from going up in the air at a critical period. Manager Egolf and the other officials of the club have worked hard to give the town a good ball team and to furnish a part of the finances neces-, sary to carry on the game, and if Manager Egolf is given a little more time Ambler will see a ball team of which it can be proud.
Following is the way the runs were scored : The locals were the first to tally. A run was scored in the third on Da vies being hit by a pitched ball. He stole second, and on Doering's eri'or crossed the .plate. Bethayres went us one better. As a starter Egolfs drive to left centre went for two bases. 1 loei ing singled and stole second.   Hal-

Prin. Bonter to Stav at School.
As a result of the meeting, Saturda.y evening in the Spring Mill school, of patrons of the school and the White- marsh township school board, in be¬ half of the re-election of E. Johnson lionter as princliial of the school, after the board, in a letter from the secre¬ tary, had requested Mr. Honter to with¬ draw his application tor re-election, the members, ot the school board have agreed to re-elect Air.  Bonter.
The meeting was largely attended, and the dtizen.s, who had virtually compelled the meeting of the board, were not long in making known their demands. The petition was numer¬ ously signed. James Crawford acted as spokesman for the patrons, and others also expressed themselves in no unmistakable terms. Words were not minced in accusing Robert T. Potts, thq local director, with having mingled personalities and having misrepresent¬ ed Mr. Bonter to the other members of the board. The meeting openly called for Mr. Pott.s' resignation from the board.
Mr. Potts, answering, contended that the spokesman represented only a small part of the citizenry, and that a ma¬ jority do not wish him to get out of school affairs. He then asked that any man in the audience, who wished him (Potts) to resign, should stand up. The entire assemblage, except four men, arose. Potts contended 'hat he has done many things for the advance¬ ment of the district, arid that lie has the interest of the schools at heart at all  times.
Other matters with regard to school conditions were threshed out, and be¬ fore the close of the meeting the lioard was given a clear Idea of what the .Spring Mill patrons want.
