OUNCE OF COTTON
TO SAVE A LIFE
Popular slogan in the United States
for Those With Humane
Hearts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-"Mail an
ounce Of cotton to Vienna or any 9TH
er point where wounded soldiers are
being cared for and save a human
life"
That slogan promises to become the
most popular Of any in recent years
here in Washington. Responses to-
day were coming to the suggestion
made by William G. Shepherd, through
the United Press, that Americans, as
humane neutrals, send cotton to Aus
tria, where there is none, and also to
the Red Cross organizations Of the
other warning nations.
In the absence of Miss Mabel Board
man, head of the national Red Cross,
Dr. T., M. Phillips. in charge of the
furnishing of surgical supplies by the
American Red Cross, warmly endors-
ed the plan. He stated that II Amer
lea responded as generously as usual,
the want in Austria will soon be re-
lieved. In the meanwhile, he said
the American Red Cross will send
what 1t can at once. 10 ryG3
The Shepherd story clearly revealed
to Washingtonians for the first time
that Austria Is practically cut off from
the balance of the outside world. She
has been unable to buy cotton because
the demand for the medicated kind Is
greater than the supply. But every
steamer that carries United States
mail to Mediterranean ports can car
ry small packages from a humane
American public and 1t will be rush.
ed through to Austria without any in
reference by the warships of the al
lies. .,
At the Red Cross headquarters, 1t
was stated that Shepherds account of
the great need in Austria was the first
word that the American society had
received. DR.. Phillips stated that
every effort was being made to send
cotton and other supplies everywhere,

the lower end of the spine would not
produce such a condition as Foster
was said to have been in. The re-
movaI of the coccy, or lower end Of
the spine would not cause a person
to lose control Of himself, it was said.
1t is probable that the case can be
finished by tomorrow. There were a
few witnesses for the defense, and
then will come the arguments. The
attorneys for plaintiff offer objec-

The defense Is seeking to prove by
means of expert testimony that Fos-
ter's condition was caused not from
the alleged injuries he claims to have
received, but from some internal
conditions. One OF the hypothetical
questions which is being asked medi-
cal witnesses who said that they ex-
ahmed Foster wheM he was in Ora
ham hospital is:

bile and had been thrown to the top

DR.. j. D.. Rebo of Alexandria, one Of
the witnesses on the stand this morn
ing, said there might not be external
evidences, but that the injury might
have occurred.
Fosters condition is described in
another question and the doctors are
asked if the condition could be a re-
suit of the alleged accident, or il it
might not be resultant from some in
terpal conditions. DR.. II. w. Harris
thought the condition might be, due
to other than the alleged accident.
He stated on the stand that cerebral
hemorrhages did not occur from
blows unless they had been hard

ing on all over the country. In the
Presidential election two years ago the
vote OF Minnesota was 1856 for
Roosevelt; iOs.l2s for Wilson. and
s4.32i for Taft.
In the present Statewide primary
more than 100000 votes were cast.
which is a remarkably large poll for
an election held only TO nominate
State candidates; but it was most i'm.
pressive In It's results. The Republi.
can vote on this occasion mounted
from 64.32i. cast at the regular cleo.
ton of 1912. TO $4,000. While the
Democrats made a hot race. their total
vote amounted 10 only $4,000. The
Progressive candidates in the entire
State only mustered a strength OF
1854. This goes TO show what The
lntelligencer has always maintained.
that the large majority OF Rspubn.
cans who voted for Roosevelt two
years ago had no intention OF leaving
the party. II also shows that the pres
ent bluster OF the Progressives is built
entirely on the supposed cohesiveness
of the vote OF 1912. Really there is
nothing left of them but the leaders.
There is an object lesson of the
same character in this State. in Lewis
county. to which the Weston indie.
pendent calls attention. and which has
been referred to before in The InteIll.

of a few weeks ago. In speaking OF
