AID DRIVE AFTER SERVICEABROAD Two Courageous Girls Arrive to Help Secure Funds to ! Make Men Comfortable Overseas. O. H. Menold, state director of publicity for the United War Worle campaign, Thursday morning re ceived a night letter from Elmore Leffingwell, national headquarters. New York, giving details of work performed by two young Salvation Army lassies in France, who have returned home to aid in the drive which starts next Monday. Captain Violet McAllister and Lt. Alice Mc Allister were the two girls and their stories are of particular interest be cause of the first-hand information' obtained in the last few weeks. "Three weeks sgo today we were behind lines in Argonne forest," said Capt Violet McAllister, little Salvation Army lassie, who, with her sister, Lt Alice McAllister, has been in France for the past seven months making life a bit more comfortable and happier for the American doughboys and who has just landed, in New York clad in steel helmets and full battle array, including kettles and doughnut ladles. The two girls created a sensation when they stepped on the dock. Home to Aid Drive. They would not be here now If it were not for United War Work drive, because of which they were called home to tell American people just how much boys appreciate the things $170,500,000 will buy for them. These two girls were the very first to assist in American field hospitals and the day they left France were helping in a hospital that was heav- , ily shelled. Lieutenant McAllister was struck on the head by a piece of shrspnel but her jaunty tin millinery 1 saved her. ' "If you did nothing but walk around so the boys could see your and talk to you," an overworked medical man told them, "you would help a lot," But they didn't do only -that, they washed clotted blood from boyish faces, cheered them up with real United States talk, took mes- mnm frtr 4ar nn at hnmf and wet parched lips with cool, damp cloths. ' ' "Gave Tin HeU" "On poor fellow," said Captain McAllister, "was literally riddled with bullets snd I said to him, 'Well, they peppered you up a bit I aee.' 'Oh, rntz puncturea me a mue, ne admitted, "but we sure gave him hell.'" "We served men hot chocolate and soup in winter snd lemonade in sum mer," she went on. "We made honest-to-goodness American lemon ade even it we did nave to wai a mile to draw water from ice-cold springs and squeeze all lemons bjr hand. Often when wounded Ameri cans and Germans were brought in to the hospital together, our boys would motion to doctors to go ahead with Germans, inat snows-some- thing ot tne oigness 01 ipim 01 ur boys. Can you imagine a German trying to make wounded American soldiers in Germany more comfort- aoie. Get German Piano. . The McAllister sisters, or, as they are called in France, "the McAl lister twins," are proud owners of a German piano which was presented to them jy the commanding officer when they arrived in Villas, which had been occupied 24 hours before by Germans. They left the piano in France however, for men of their division to enjoy. These lassies have been on five battle fronts and have moved with the First division, whkh is America's shock troops division, ever since thex have been overseas. They are always there when boys came back fagged from a big fight with plenty of hot drinks and plenty of cheery words. "Every possible night we had a sing. The boys like best of all to sing hymns and mother songs, so Alice and I played on our banjos and piano and sang with the boys. We tried to take the place for a little time of mothers, sisters and sweethearts back in the states." Defeat of Russian Red Army Due to Disorganization Moscow Russian papers estimate the actual fighting strength of the-Czecho-Srovak detachments since they have recruited Cossacks andv other enemies of the bolshevik gov ernment at from 200,000 to 500,000. Commanders of the Russian red army insist they have been greatly outnumbered at the points where thev have been repulsed by the Czecho-Slovaks, .but papers in op position to "the 'bolshevik govern ment charge the Czechs victories to the disorganization and lack of dis cipline in the red army and to the unwillingness of many of the red soldiers to engage in what they re gard as a domestic struggle. '. Oklahoma Prohibts the Use . of German in Public Places Oklahoma City, Okla Nov. 8. Oklahoma has come into line with many o'her states in the suppres sion of the German language in pub lic places.
