in distress.
Money may be sent to local Red
Cross treasurers or to the Red Cross

donated supplies are sent from any
point, instructions from Washington
will be furnished for routing. The
most practically gateways into Mexico
at the present time and under the
present conditions are Vera Cruz (via

"All the allies are entirely in ac-

war, as the enemy is still strong.
NJ. Sazonoff expressed the opinion
that Italy is terminating her alliance
with Germany and Austria. had acted
wisely He asserted 1taly's principal
compensation for her present trouble
would be acquisition Of the CONNER
cial influence in the Balkans previous
ly possessed by Austria and Germany.
M. Saznoff urged that Italy culti-

Otherwise, he said, the Dalmatian
Italy would be a wall instead of a
bridge in her relations with the Bal

The foreign minister declared Rus

Continuing he said:

do not want a third. The Black Sea

nit barbarian Turkey to possess the

1t is probable the united organ

season opens the hunters for all other
kinds of game viii be out of the woods,
