The first of the American Red
Cros Magazine as a monthly-the
January number-contains numer-
Gus articles of an interesting and
enlightening character concerning
the humanitarian efforts of the Red
Cross organizations to relieve the
distress of countless thousands OF
human beings throughout the Euro
pean war region, and is generously
illustrated.
Irwin S. Cobb, the author, gives
thrill after thrill in a graphic de-
scription of what he saw in a recent
extensive tour of the war-ravaged
territory. Mr.. Cobb generously con-
tributed this article as a means of
further riveting the attention of Am
orleans on the sore distress abound

Soldiers.

In his own forceful style, Irwin s.
! Cobb. of the Saturday Evening Post,
writing in the Red Cross Magazine
/ for January. tells of the misery he
saw during his recent trip in the Eu-
ropean war zone. Speaking of those
made homeless and destitute by the
war, he says in part:
81 saw them tramping aimlessly
along wind-swept. rainwashed roads,
fleeing from burning and devastated
villages. | saw them sleeping in open
fields upon the miry earth with no
cover and no shelter. saw them
herded together in the towns and
cities from which many of them ul-
timately fed. existing God alone
knows how. l saw them-ragged
furtive scarecrows-prowli in the
shattered ruins of their houses, seek
ing salvage where there was no sal
wage to be found. l saw them living
like the beasts of the field, upon such

reject. I saw them standing in long
lines waiting for their poor share of
the dole of a charity which already
was nearly exhausted. saw their
towns when hardly one stone stood
upon another. l saw their abandon
ed farm lands where the harvests
rotted in the burrows and the fruit
hung mildewed and ungathered upon
the trees. l saw their cities where
trade was dead and credit was

and from the weakness of hunger. l
saw all these sights repeated and
multiplied infinitely-yes, and mag
nifed. too-but not once did l see
a man or woman or even a child that
wept or cried out"
The horrors of war as portrayed by
Mr.. Cobb are enough to startle a
hardened criminal. He tells of see
ing soldiers in tatters and streams
of wounded pouring back from the
front endlessly. 1t is a strictly neu
trail word picture he paints in the
interest of humanity in the future.

The substantial growth of the Am
erican Red Cross organization dur
ing the past year is described in an
article in the January number of the
American Red Cross Magazine. Dur
ing 1914 there was an increase of Al
Red Cross chapters in the United
States members and an increase of
Red Cross members of all classes of
approximately 5000.
The American Red Cross thus far
has sent to the distressed countries
OF Europe 1872 skilled surgeons and
enrolled Red Cross trained nurses
and vast quantities of medical and
surgical supplies and shiploads of
warm clothing and other useful do
nations for the destitute women and
children and other noncombatants.
1t has also sent numerous large con-
tributions of money.
The American official relief organ
ization has been able to carry on
this gigantic work as a result only
of years of steady planning and sys-
tematizing.
"Our American Red Cross has
demonstrated its preparedness to
deal with war conditions" says an
editorial in the same number of the
magazine. Its organization that
provided trained. aye. skilled. per-
sonnet and supplies ran smoothly
and promptly"
This same editorial says elsewhere:
by means of its Medical Bureau
and its Nursing Service it (the Am
erican Red Crosse was able to sup
ply Immediately a corps of compe-
tent surgeons and trained nurses.
No time was lost in having to con-
slider how they should be obtained
or where they should be obtained or
where they should be obtained. No
study was required as to uniforms
and equipment. These were details
all arranged long ago. Salaries to
be paid and standards required were
all TO be found in the regulations of
the Red Cross service"

establiSning the Agency, says IN
part:
"The writer left Geneva shortly
after October tenth but from letters
received only recently he learned
that over four hundred volunteers
were working and over fifty thous-
and unopened letters has accumulat-
ed. From a letter of November elev-
enth he learns that the daily move
ment of letters is 1850. 1t is re-
asonable to believe that the activity
| in packages. money remittances. and
other work has increased in like pro-
portion.
This work is done by the flower
and the gentility of Geneva. Ii in
the past Geneva has stamped her
name on all that stands for charity
and peace, her last work will out
rank her best. But few know OF
the Agencyfor the Prisoners of War;
but when Europe is in the remaking
there will he many mothers, many
fathers. and many sons to whom the
name will have the great meaning
of consolation, reinsurance and help
or the sad remembrance of the yorst
news kindly given. To one who has
seen it, it will always be impossible
TO forget the long tables with the
piles of letters. the workers, Gene
vese. but speaking nearly all langu-
ages. opening them with the con-
slant fear of a new heart twinge.
And so these letters come by
their thousands daily. a Niagara of
fear and misery. with the occasional
note of joy over the loved one found.
They come from the steps of the
thrones. even as they come from the
matched cottage. Letters have
come from the German and Austrian
Royal Houses and equally from
President Poincare and Sir Edward
Grey, and equally, too, from the
French good wife who sends news
of the COW. and the German maiden
who seeks her lover, for in this work
all are equal.
THE letters come in French. Ger
man, Russian English. Flemish and
the Slav tongues. AS they are open
ed. they are assorted to the different
departments by languages. Ii COM
munication has been established. let
tiers and parcels are forwarded at
once. If no communication has been
made, the letters are divided into
three classes: First. those giving full
and working information as to the
families, or as to their wounded
and informed; second. where only
partial information is given. which
are replied to with cards asking full
particulars; and third. the letters
which give no names or addresses
and must be put aside.
LAS to the present efficiency of the
Agency over two thousand letters.
to not speak of other communica-
lions. are delivered each day. While
Geneva is giving its best inservice and
are delivered each day. While Ge-
neva is giving its best in service and
sadness. in tears and time. and while
all letters go without stamps there
are none the less many unavoidable
expenses. 1t is to the great credit
OF the American Red Cross Society
that it has seen the need. and is
helping the older but smaller sister
with her burden of charity"

FRENCH REPORT SUCCESSES
IN CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT
Allies Gain Ground and Capture Hill
No. 191-BerIin Admits Po-
sition Lost.

London, Oct. 2.-Continuing the ter
rifle offensive which has netted the
allies almost daily gains for the past
week and has resulted in the greatest
loss of life and prisoners of any SINH
lar period in the entire war, the
French troops in Champagne district
on Thursday again broke through the
German lines west of Tahure Height
and at Hill No. 1911, capturing the lat
ter strategic position and rendering
almost the entire German railroad
from Cernay to Somme-Py useless.
Berlin officially admits the loss Of
Hill 191 and the penetration of the
German lines southeast of SOuchez
The greatest French gains continue
in the Champagne region north of
Mesnil and forther to the east be-
tween Hill 100, north of Massiges, and
the road from Ville-surTOurbes to
Cernay, followed by bayonet charges.
More prisoners were taken in this &C
ton, according to Paris.
The French statement admits the
success of German cOunter-attacks at
L'Ouvrage de la DEBATE, but declares
second attack was repulsed with
heavy losses to the Germans.
The recount of booty taken in this
fighting since September rs puts the
total of field pieces and heavy guns
captured from the Germans at 121.
Eastward of Loos, which lies north
of Lens, the British have pushed on a
considerable distance on La Bassee
road and now occupy the entire oval
plateau of which Hill No. 70 is the Gull
minating point. The British thus domi-
nate both the city of Lens and the
plains surrounding it.

BIG FILM TRUST is HIT
BY UNITED STATES COURT
and Orders the Moving Picture
Combine to Dissolve.

Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-The United
States district court on Friday decided
the antitrust dissolution suit against
the Motion Picture Patents company
in favor of the government.
The Motion Picture Patents COM
pany is a holding concern. 1t was
charged by the government that i:
controlled most of the moving picture
patents in the United States and also
had a large interest in the American
rights in foreign patents. The suit
was heard over year ago by Judge
Oliver B. Dickson, whose decision
is sweeping victory for the United
States department of justice.
1t was charged by the government
that the Motion Picture Patents COM
pany and other defendants were en-
gagged in Interstate and foreign com.
merce in motion lectures, films, cam.
eras, exhibiting machines and other
articles and apparatus used in the
motion picture art, in violation of the
antitrust law.
The court in it's decision says that
all the contracts enumerated in the
governments petition and the combi-
nation therein described were con-
spiracy in restraint of trade and there
fore illegal and that they constituted,
with the exception of the operations
of the Melies Manufacturing company,
monopoly in violation of the anti
trust laws.

MINNEAPOLIS TO STAY WET
incomplete Returns Foreshadow City
Will Give Saloons Majority
of 1900 Votes.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 5.-If the
present rate is maintained the city
will be wet by 1900, according to
the count at 2 o'clock this morning.
The county of Hennepin will cut this
down some, but will not overshadow
it. The election affects 400 saloons
in the county. The vote was very
heavy.
Wholesale charges of frauds and
violations of the corrupt practices
act were brought by the "drys" and
ten arrests were made on their COM
plants.
"Drys" charge colonization in the
transient hotel district, illegal treat
ing of voters with whisky and minor
attractions of the law. DRY" leaders
said the illegal voting might reach
10000.
The "wets'' had 600 paid workers
in the field and the "drys" were rep
resented by hundreds of volunteer
watchers, 100 challengers and 100
detectives.
1t was the hottest election in the
history of Minneapolis. The "wets"
are claiming the county by 10000.
The "drys" are claiming the county
without giving figures.

DENIES GRIPPING U. S. TRADE.
Great Britain Shows American Gains
Are Enormous.

Great Britain Shows American Gains
Are Enormous.
Washington, Oct. 4.-Great Britain's
answer to reports widely circulated in
this country that she has been inter-
fering with legitimate trade of the
United States with neutral European
nations for the benefit of her own ex-
porters is given in a note handed to
Ambassador Page in London by Sir
Edward Grey, the foreign minister,
and made public here by the state de-
partment.
Data and figures are quoted at
length to prove that where British
exports and re-exports have increased
the growth of similar trade from the
United States has been many times as
large while in many cases there have
been asst increases of American ex-
ports, compared with decreases in
those from the United Kingdom.
The note, which is in response to the
British ambassadors report of a refer
ence at the state department to the
unfavorable impression created here
by reports of increases in British trade
with northern European countries
since the war began, suggests also that
statements concerning Great Britain's
policy have been inspired by German
agents.
August 10 is the date of the note.

AND HAIL.
SHED BURN is NOW FEARED
Estimated Annual Income of Crop to
Wisconsin Farmers of 100000 900
May Be Reduced to
$1,000, 100000.

Stoughton.-The loss on Wiscon-
sin tobacco this year will amount in
to the millions, possibly 10 per cent
of the entire crop being best quality,
though shed burn may cause still
further losses. The weather has been
too wet for proper curing in the shed.
Some farmers are building fires
under the tiers to preserve the she'd
ded weed.
Following close upon the recent
disastrous hailstorm the growing dis
tricts of the southern portion of the
state were deluged with an eight inch
rain which flooded the low lands.
Reports of hail damage in sections
between Madison and Mcfarland,
about Sun Prairie and in Vernon
county bring further discouraging
news.
Possibly 10 to rs per cent of the
crop had been harvested before these
disasters appeared and a large por-
ton of that has been rendered al
most worthless.
The income from tobacco in Wis
consin has been estimated at $6,00O,-
600 a year. 1t may reach 100000
this year.

Tells State Board of Education He Will
Approve No More Expendi-
lures Unless Urgent.

Madison.-Gov. Phillip served no
tice on the state board of education,
which met here to transact business
relating to the state university and
state normal schools, that he would
not approve any expenditures Of state
money under the so-called emergency
appropriation law for the state nor
NAL schools except to meet real emer-
gencies.
The statement was made by the
governor during a discussion of the
advisability of paying a deficit of
$4,000 in the operation expenses
of the university. The governor saio
he believed this deficit should be paid
by transferring money from the In
come fund of the institution, which
contained 100000. The matter will
be considered further at a meeting
of the board. to be held on Oct. IL.
The board approved the appoint
ment of an additional science teacher
at the normal school at Stevens Point
and an additional kindergarten teach
er at the normal school at White

BY UNITED STATES
Americans Are Aroused by
Slaughter of ArmenianS.
PROTEST FILED BY GERMANY
Ambassador Morgenthau Tells Sui
tan's Government That Unless
Atrocities Cease Amity With
America Will Be Menaced.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Ambassador
Morgenthau at Constantinople was in
structed by cable on Monday to inform
the Turkish minister of foreign affairs
that public sentiment in the United
States was so stirred by the reports of
the Armenian atrocities that unless
the massacres ceased friendly rela-
lions between the American people
and the people of Turkey would be
threatened.
Officials made it clear that this mes
sage, though it's Importance was by no
break in diplomatic relations. Turkey
already has let it be known that she
will not permit interference by any
foreign power with her so-called CAR
menian policy"
AS American life or property has
not been affected, the United States
government, without submitting an
official protest, merely informs Turkey
of the effect continued Armenian
atrocities would have upon the Ameri-
can people.
Secretary Lansing said that no rep
reservations had been made to Ger
many regarding the treatment of the
Armenians by the Turks.
1t was learned, however, that Am
bassador Morgenthau had reported
that the German embassy at Constan-
tinople had filed protest on this sub
ject with the Turkish foreign office.

'ULT|MATUM SENT
BULGARS BY RUSS
Must Break With Germany With
in TWenty-Four Hours.
MINISTER TOLD TO LEAVE
Ordered to Gust All German Officers
Gar Can't Sanction Preparations
for FratricidaI Aggression
Against Serbia.

London, Oct. 5.-According to the
Times, the Russian minister at Sofia
has delivered formal ultimatum to
Bulgaria demanding the expulsion of
all German officers in Bulgaria within
twenty-four hours.
The text of the ultimatum follows
"The events which are taking place
in Bulgaria at this moment give evil
dence of a definite decision of King
Ferdinand's government to place the
fate of his country in the hands of
Germany.
1.-THE presence of German and Aus
trian officers at the war ministry and
on the staff of the army, the concen-
tration of troops on the Serbian bor-
der and the extensive financial sup
port accepted from our enemies by the
Sofia cabinet no longer leave any
doubt as to the object of the military
preparations of Bulgaria.
"The powers of the entente who
have at heart the realization of the
aspirations of the Bulgarian people
have, on many occasions, warned M.
Radoslavoff that any hostile act against
Serbia would be considered as direct
ed against themselves. The assur-
ances given by the head of the Bull
garian cabinet in reply to these warn
ings are contradicted by the facts.
"The representative of Russia,
which is bound to Bulgaria by the i'm
perishable memory of her liberation
from the Turkish yoke, cannot sane
ton by his presence preparations for
fratricidal aggression against Slav
and allied people. The Russian min
lister therefore has received orders to
leave Bulgaria with all the stats of
the legation and consulates if the Bull
garian government does not, within
twenty-four hours, openly break with
the enemies of the Slav cause and of
Russia and does not at once proceed
to send away officers belonging to the
armies of states which are at war
with the powers of the entente"

Chicago, Oct 5.-More than $4,000
fans, 34,212 according to the official
figures, saw Charley Weeghman's
Whales put Chicago back into the
ranks of champions after an absence
of five years. The trick was turned at
Weeghman's park when the North
siders defeated the Pittsburgh Rebels,
to 0, in the ultimate game Of the
double-header that wound up the 1915
Federal league season.
Leading the race when the contests
began, the Whales were dropped to
third place behind st. Louis when the
Rebels made a gallant uphill fight and
won the first game, to 4, after II in
nings of triple-riveted excitement. Joe
Tinker's men drove Elmer Knetzer
from the crag in the sixth inning of
the afterpiece and when Bill Bailey
continued to blank the aliens the
North siders were proclaimed pennant
winners by the narrow margin of half
a game.
