AUTUMN LeuCc0.
'Into tho shell shattered city
oi Strasburg on the morning
after its capitalization TO tho Grand
Duke Of Baden, there walked un.
,.,..,I unattended save by u maid
slight, delicate woman IN a dark,
plain dre5a, WiM a scarlet cross
uYOugbt IN her sIeeUe ADORE the eI6OW.
Through the battallions Of conquer
ing troops which guarded the city she
went fearleSly, unchallenged and un-
molGted, and the sentinels on the
ramparts grounded their muskets rs
she touched the scarlet symbol on her
arm, and hurried past them over the
heaps OF dead and dying; into the
heart Of the stricken city. She found
famine, fire, terror, q shattered city
surendering through hunger, it's hos
pitals filed with wounded women and
children, It's streets swarming with
half.naked, half-starved, frenzied peo-
pie, city whose able-bodied men
were all in the eonscripted ranks Of
the French army or in the prisons OF
Germany.
Through the instrumentality OF the
stranger, in forty days the hungry
were fed, the sick healed and the nak-
od clothed. Boxes Of supplies came
by the hundreds into the city, marked
ever by The scarlet symbol she wore,
money poured into her treasury faster
than she could spend it, and scores OF
brave nurses and heroic assistants
gathered about her. White hands
that had never known labor bound the
scarlot badge on their arms, and the
proudcst ladies of Germany, under
tAo sign OF The crimson cross, went
down to the help and succor Of the
city which their troops had conquered.
Indeed, 80 abundant were the offer
ings Of clothing that a message was
sent to the Empress "You are max

action Of the State Alliance upon the
subject Of state paper is slightly at
variance with tire facts, and is calcu-
lated to mislead It's readers in severAl
particulars. The Farmer says:
"Somc feeling was shown by few delegates
when the question came up for naming che Kan
sas Farmer rs the official State paper ~ hcy
wished to name aecrtaln local paper for n State
paper hut the more conservative delegates held
that II would be Impractcable 10 try and build
mp II local piper to'the ptetentons of State pa-
per, and while many delegates had been In
strctcd 10 have the Farmer named,
the motion to select I'M "OrgaR'
was tabled and the question OF state
paper remains as twas beioO this meeting and
the Kansas Farmer viii continue 70 publish In
lts "Alliance Department" official announce
ments Of both State organizations as well ~ 9TH
er important Alliance matter Of interest b. mem-
bers AZ we'll as farmers In all parts OF the state"
The inaccuracies Of the above state
ment are as follows. LIST. the feeling,
ifany, that wrs manifested when the
Kansas Farmer was named ~ the Of
fetal State paper wasnot as stated be-
cause of the desire OF "a few dele
gates" to have "a certain local papeT
named for the place, but because Of
the prevailing sentiment in the con-
vention that the KGasds Farmer, al
though a good agricultural journal,
is not sufficiently in accord with the
sentiment of the Order, and not sufi-
GENTLY aggressive in its support, to be
selected as ON official State paper,
2nd. If thero were any delegates
present who "had been instructed" to
have the Kdnsas Farmer named they
certainly did not materialize on the
floor Of the convention, while several
Delegates did state that they were
positively instructed to oppose the
Farmer. That there were delegates
present who favored this selection is
not denied, but il they favored it by
instruction they did not so state in
the convention.
3d. SO far as holding it to be sim
practicable to try and build up a lo-
cal paper to the pretention Of u state
paper" the almost unanimous senti-
ment Of the convention was in favor
of establishing a paper owned and
controlled exclusively by the Order
and published exclusively in its inter
est, and no fears were entertained or
expressed as to the impracticubility Of
building up such paper not only to
the ''prctontion" but to the actuality
of a state paper when the proper time
comes to undertake this enterprise
When the question came up for con-
siderNtion several papers were named
and their merits were briefly discuss
ed; among the number the Dexter
Free Press, the Kansas CoDD,oRer
and the ADVOCATE, These papers are
all out spoken Alliance papers from
principle and will continue to be ag-
gressive in their advocacy Of the prin-
ciples and interests Of the Order with
out regard to any action Of the State
Alliance upon the subject Of State
paper. Webelieve with a majority Of

High up in the BolRin mountains
the soldiers of Bulgaria were freezing

soldiers" The message was cable
grained to Geneva, Switzerland, the
next morning: "The Red Cross OF A.
