1t has been said that OUT navy is
manned by foreigners. This is not so.
The proportion of foreigners in ou1
navy is very small, and in recent en-
lis,ments. the additions have been ell.
tirely native born. Even in the case
of the small minority of fo1eign-born
men-of-war s-men, there is an enthu.
slasm for the adopted country which
is the natural outcome of the bette.
pay, better food and more humane
treatment which falls to the lot of the
boys in our navy.

THE RED CROSS.

The Tag or the Red Cross of Gen
V is destined to II a picturesque
figure in the present war.
Secretary of State Day has notified
the Swiss Minister that this country
intended to treat as affective the I'D
dltional articles of the Geneva Con-
ventiOn, which extend to the wounded
in naval battles the Same advantages
accorded to the wounded in land en-
gagements. This policy will he pur-
sued, the Secretary stated, whether it
is adopted by Spain or not.
This decision makes it possible to
have a floating ambulance such as
the Solace will be, flying the Red
Cross of Geneva. This step is one
far in advance OF anything yet taken
by any great country. 1t is made
possible by the ninth additional arti-
Gle to the convention of Geneva
This article, together with fourteen
others, has never before beer formally
adopted by this country,
The article is:
The vessels not equipped for fight
ing, which during peace, the Govern
ment shall have officially declared to
be intended to serve as floating hos
pital ships, shall, however, enjoy
during the war complete neutrality,
both as regards stores and also as re-
CARDS their staff, provided this equip
ment is exclusive to the special ser
vice on which they are e~mployed.'
Minister Piodo, the Swiss represent
tative in this country, has been urging
such action on the part of this Gov
eminent since the war began. The
Swiss Minister at Madrid aspreseDt-
ed a similar request to the Spanish
court. Added to this was the request
that Article X, of the Convention,
relating to the neutrality of merchant
ships charged exclusively with re-
moval of sick and wounded, should
be adopted. Secretary Day, on be-
halt of this Government, has also
agreed to this request. His letter to
Minister Pioda reads: "Should the
Government of Spain likewise accede
to the Swiss proposition, I should be
much gratifed to be apprised of the
fact, and also that the Spanish acces
sion contemplates acceptance of the
interpretations of Articles TX and X,
which were adopted by France and
the North German States, and which
are embraced in the proposition of
your Government"
The Ladies of Carson have orga-
nized a Red Cross society who row
have a membership of owe sixty.
Mrs. Lemon of the News is the Presi-
dent.
The members are full of patriotism
and a desire to aid the soldiers in the
front.
The object is n which appeals to
the patriotism of every American
woman and no woman who has any
love for the flag should refuse to be-
come an active member.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1898-05-25

There are three conditions:
When the blood is poor;
When more flesh is needed;
When there is weakness
of the throat or lungs.
There is one cure: that is
SCOTS Emulsion.
1t contains the best cod
liver oil emulsihed, or di-
gested, and combined with
the hyPophosphites and
glycerine. 1t promises more
prompt relief and more last
ing benefit in these cases than
can be obtained from the
use of any other remedy.
