NEW BRITAIN MUST
 FURNISH HER QUOTA
Red Cross Committee Plans Work
 for Sewing Campaign

Many of the Herald readers have observed the following hurry call which has been sent to all the chap l ters Of the American Red Cross: ITO All Chapters:
 Based upon recent cable advices from our allies the following supplies are urgently needed and all chapters are asked to ship to. the nearest branch warehouse of the Red Cross supply Service whatever supplies they have on hand corresponding to this list and to speed up their work rooms on these particular articles. ,%3
 O.000 bath robes or convalescent gowns; 100, 900 pairs bed socks; 7OO,- 900 handkerchiefs; 65e,0OO hospital bed shirts; 450,000 suits bahamas: 300, 900 shoulder wraps; 800,00O pairs socks; 250, 900 pairs Ward slippers. "These hospital garments are great ly needed now and should be made according to specifications given in A. R. c. 165. pages 7-8.
 The production of bandages and surgical dressings, however, should not be allowed to fall off on account of this special appeal, as cable mes- sages from Paris and Rome ask for a constant supply of these in view of the recent heavy fighting and the diff ticulty of getting the raw materials abroad.
 "A special effort should be made to have the above articles shipped at the earliest date possible.
 ELIOT WADSWORTH,
 Acting Chairman"
 Working out the proportion of these articles which should be sent by New Britain the list is as follows:
 175 bath robes, 50 pairs bed socks, $50 handkerchiefs, 325 hospital bed shirts, 225 suits of pajamas, 150 shoulder wraps. 400 pairs socks, 125 pairs ward slippers.
 Generosity must prompt all to send more than is asked. The American Hosiery and Parker Shirt factory are cheerfully and generously co-operat- ing by cutting pajamas and hospital bed shirts. The women of New Brit ain are asked to do their part by tax ing unusual numbers of the shirts and pajamas home to make them as quickly as good stitching and work manship will allow.
 The campaign for willing workers is worthy of as earnest support as the previous successful campaign for money.

Will CALL ON
VENIZELOS
Greek Premier Will Play
Important Role in New
Government
lRv Associated PrAss.l

Paris, June 14.-It is certain that NJ.
Venizelos will be called upon to play
an important part In the immediate
future OF Greece, says The Matin, but
it would be premature, it thinks. to
attempt to define what he will do.
The abdication of Constantine. who
had been told by Emperor William to
keep his throne, undoubtedly is a Sc
we're setback for Germany" 1t says.
The action OF the allies was foreseen
In Athens and despairtng appeals were
made to the emperor to send few
divisions which would spare his sister
the humiliation of giving away to an
uItimatum presented by France in the
name of the protecting powers. The
emperor did nothing because the mill
tary situation did not allow him to
send troops"
The newspapers voice unanimous
approval Of Senator Jonnart's action.
The general opinion expressed by all
is that the powers, in taking the
course they did, are not only safe
guarding the troops, at Saloniki, but
are doing their duty as the guarantors
of the Greek constitution in evicting a
king who had violated IL and had dis
honored the country by betraying
Serbia.

Toxic, June 12.-(Delayed in. trans

it exists between the United States
and Japan has been brought sharply
to the surface by the note of the

and the wish that tranquility be re-
stored, ~
The Impression is here that Great
Britain and France since the war,
have practically extended a measure
Of recognition of special privilege to
Japan and the present issue appears
to involve the question whether the
United States will abandon the pre-
rogative of independent action in
China and henceforth consult Japan.
The following statement of Japans
attitude is furnished to The Associated
Press from we'll Informed quarters:
When Japan and the allies were
about to urge Yuan Chi Kai, the late
president Of China to postpone restor-
alton of. the monarchy. the United
States was consulted beforehand and
States replied it favored a republic
affairs of China.
'eThe recent American note which
virtually was interference and sent
without consulting Japan caused sur
prise. It was not until afterwards we
were advised and asked to partici-
pate"
The foreign office declines to state
what action will be taken.
