THEY USE STRAW
Crude Bandages for Wounded
Soldiers I'm Europe.
Red Cross Chairman Writes to
Mayor of Topeka.

Wounded soldiers in Europe are
using straw for bandages and wire
with which to tie the straw to their
wounds. according to letter received
in Topeka from the chairman of the
executive committee of the Red Cross
r. L. Cofran. mayor, has received
a letter from Mabel T. Boardman,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Red Cross, telling of the work
being done in connection with the
European war.
part of the letter reads: I'VE
learned of great numbers of wounded
soldiers without bandages even and in
some cases their wounds have been
covered with straw fastened on with
wire. They have no beds to lie on in
some villages and lie on the straw in
a railway station for hours. From al
most every direction we have this cry
for help.
Then too, we are helping the ref
ugee women and children, for they,
too, are the victims of this awful war.
Every week something goes for the as
sistance of the sufferers. This week
we sent quantities of drugs to Russia,
where they were greatly needed. such
as chlorofOrm, morphine. cocaine. etc.
We also sent bandages. stretchers. alb
sorbent cotton. etc. The week before
supplies of this nature and boxes of
hospital garments went to France.
Next week we are sending large
quantity of surgical supplies and hos
pital garments to Servia and the next
day lot of hospital supplies and gar
ments go to Germany and at the same
time we are sending boxes of new
clothing for the women and children
of Belgian refugees in Holland. Next
week probably supplies will be sent
to England and France again, and so
we continue just as fast as we get
supplies ready they are shipped
The letter was written to thank the
people of Topeka for their contribu-
tiOns.

Five days, which will expire at s

VILLA MUST co
Carranza Says He Must Be Put
Out of Command
By the Convention or He VIII
Do 1t Himself.

Vera Cruz, Nov. 9.-General Car
rama has issued at Cordoba a decree
promising that the import and other
taxes collected at Vera Cruz by the
Americans since they have been in
control Of that seaport will not be
levied again by the Mexicans after the
Americans evacuation.
General Carranza makes no reference
to the demand made upon him that
those Mexicans who have been in the
employ of American authorities at
Vera Cruz be given guarantees OF pro-
lection.
The decree was issued at Cordoba.
where General Carranza is in confer
ence with committee from the Aguas
CaHentes convention. The preface re-
fers to the petition circulated in Vera
Cruz asking the American forces to
withdraw from that city and says that
since the residents of Vera Cruz have
manifested a willingness to reject that
protection demanded for them by the
United States, the chief of the consti-
tutionalists is disposed to have their
wishes fulfilled. The preface is calcu-
lated to show that the Mexican peo-
pie acted on their own responsibility
and not because OF pressure from
Washington.
He Doubts Their Word.
While Carranza was issuing the de-
cree in the character of the chief ex-
ecutive. General Obregon and other
members of the committee appointed
by the Aguas Calientes convention to
inform Carranza of the election of
Eulalio Gutierrez as provisional pres
ident were insisting in published
statement that the convention was the
sovereign body and Gutierrez the Legal
head OF the nation.
General Carranza met the members
of the committee from Aguas CAL
ientes and at the conference the latter
persisted in their demand that the SOW
ereiEnty of the convention and the
presidency Of Gutierrez be proclaimed.
General Carranza frankly disagreed
with this plan and with sarcasm ex-
pressed doubt of the assertions of the
committee that General Villa had re-
tired from his command. He added
that II those who made up the con-
yention were afraid to tear Villa from
the northern field he himself would
do 1t.
General Aguilar's line was further
strengthened during the night.
