CLARA BARTON
PASSES AWAY
CAUSE OF DEATH WAS CHRONIC
PNEUMoNlA--WHoLE NATION
MoURNS LOSS.
FOUNDED THE RED CROSS
Miss Barton's Services to Humanity
Were Recognized by Foreign
Countries.

Neutrality-suspicious. Barton, founder
of the American Red Cross Society,
died at her home in Glen Echo, Md.
The cause of her death was chronic
pneumonia, with which she was
stricken about year ago. Her broth
er, Stephen Barton of Boston, was
with her when she died
Miss Barton was born at oxford,
Mass, in 1921. Miss Barton had been
confined to her home, Red Cross"
at Glen Echo since last fall, when
she returned from visit to New
England. 1t was thought her trip
was beneficial, but soon afterward
she was taken severely ill.
She celebrated her Goth birthday
anniversary December 25, when she
received many messages of congrat-
ulation from all parts of the world.
Clara Barton might probably be call
ed the Florence Nightingale of Amer
lea. Like her British prototype her
works of mercy were not confined to
her native land, but were carried even
into the eastern hemisphere. She will
be written down in history as the
founder of the Red Cross in America,
but her powerful personality also
made an indelible impression upon
the international organization itself
through her active participation in
the periodical conferences at Geneva,
Rome, Vienna and st. Petersburg.
During her lifetime she received
many decorations from foreign coun-
tries in recognition of her services to
humanity and her varied experiences
have been recorded in permanent
form in her liberal contributions to
literature.

UNDERWOOD CAN WIN.
An old Soldiers View of the
Situation.


Situation.
Ouitman, Ca, March 31.-In
spite of the demonstration made
by the recently organized Wilson
club here, there is a very strong
following for Underwood in
Brooks county. This is illus
trated by the statement of the
Rev. w. r. Falley Of Dixie, who
was in town yesterday and said
that out of a voting population
of forty in Dixie he knew of
only three Wilson men. The
others were all supporting I'm
derwood. Mr. Talley, who is a
Confederate veteran and Il man
of prominence in county affairs,
said: "As to Mr.. Underwood not
being a southern man, the fact
that he Is now living in the
south seems to be sufficient. Rep
resenting a southern district in
congress, he has. become the
leader Of his party, and l think
his record shows him to be a
man of sufficient ability to deal
with the real issues of the cam
paign adequately and squarely.
They say we can't win with a
southern man. We have been
defeated with a western man
and with a northern man, and
am willing to take chances with
a southern man. l often pick a
winner, and in this case l have a
conviction that | am right in sup
