TO REVIVE RED
CROSS IN BRITAIN
ORDER OF MERCY TO BE RE-
VIVED IN LAND OF ITS
BIRTH.

London, England, March 12.-Actu-
ated by the personal influence of
Queen Alexandra, several influential
people have decided to establish in
Great Britain one of the best Red
Cross organizations in the world.
Despite the fact that the movement
was started here by Florence Night
ingale, Britain has been tagging be-
hind all the rest of Europe in Red
Cross progress. Sir Frederick Treves,
who is one of the foremost promoters
of a Refrigerated Red Cross, declares
that this country is the only one in
Europe that is unprepared to furnish
Red Cross relief to soldiers and sail
ors in the event of war Lady Knill,
a brilliant and energetic woman we'll
known for her humanitarian qualities,
who is president of the city of London
branch just formed, said yesterday:
1--WE regard the Red Cross work as
belonging peculiarly to women and We
hope to organize the women of Great
Britain thoroughly, each county hav-
ing an autonomous society. but all the
counties cooperating with the general
body. OF course, the authorities are
supposed to look after wounded and
sick soldiers and sailors. but they can
give them only the most Spartan ne
cessities.
The Red Cross hopes to supply adj
ditonal comforts and to inspire the
sufferers with the buoya1cy that
comes from real human sympathy
Certainly everybody hopes that war
may never af1ict any considerable por-
ton of humanity again, but no one can
be sure of this, hence we intend IN
time of peace to prepare thoroughly
for efficient relief work in time OF
war.
Lord Mayor Knill and the lady may
Dress, with their immediate prede-
cessors. are in the forefront of the
new movement and the list of its sup
porters embraces many of the leaders
of the nobility as well as the first sol
diers and sailors of the empire.

CLEVELAND BANK
RUN ENDS At LAST

Cleveland, O., March r. Noon yes
terday saw the end of the run on the
bank of the Society for Savings,
which started late Wednesday and
caused panic among the thousands
of depositors who had put their saw
ings in the institution. The prompt
ness with which the bank officials met
the crisis, and the steps which they
took to assure the public of the abso-
lutte soundness of their financial POSI-
ton had effect yesterday in stopping
the run which had assumed extraor-
binary proportions. About $. 200 900
was withdrawn.
Following the cessation of the run,
Myron T. Herrick, president of the
bank, issued the following statement:
The Society for Savings was never
in a sounder financial position in it's
history The run was started by base
less rumors by some malicious person
or persons whom we are now endeav-
oring to trace. About $1,20O,0OO has
been paid out by the bank and the
hardship falls on the misled depos1-
tors who have forfeited three months
interest, which would accrue on
April ! :"

opposed to county option and would
favor the 8 o'clock closing law. His
policy for regulating the liquor prob

Mr.. Shallenberger said:
Il am a democrat and will be guided
by what my party does with the ques-
ton OF county option. | think at this
time, however, that the party will not
declare for prohibition and this is
what county option seems to mean,
and that it will stand for the enforce
ment of such amendments to the Slo-
cumb law as have been made.
The question is one to be decided
by the legislature, and l think that it
is the privilege of the legislative can
didate to declare himself for or
against county option if he wishes.
He must be guided by the conditions
of his community
