Rev. Mr. Knoll, who Is a native of
Oermanv. has been very active in all
the war activities In this section, and
his great desire is to serve the coun
try of his adoption, not only some
where in France, as . he expressed It,
hut somewhere in Germany.
Captain W. A. Schoel. chairman of
tha Chehalis Red Vross chapter, was
toastmaster, and plans for Honor day
Ruhscrlrjtions to the Red Cross drive
fund were discussed by the speakers.
Writing- from Soissons, -Walter John
son, a T. M. C. A. war work secretary,
says: "I have seen a beautiful cathe
dral half shot away. I have seen where
the Germans had run a railroad right
into the building; to carry away big
stones. It was one of the famous cathe
drals In France. In one corner of the
transeDt not completely destroyed, a
French priest was holding; services for
a few. French soldiers. ....
