In connection with the Red Cross Campaign, now in full swing, Fed eral Judge William A. Holzheimer has issued ringing appeal for sup port of that Society.
 The Judges appeal recounts most interestingly a few of the memor- able occasions of America's s early revolutiona1y efforts and our own struggle for liberty, most charitahly overlooking the name of the tyran- ny we struggled against.
 The address to the people of Nome rings throughout with simon pure patriotism and is a splendid paregyric on the national tradi- tions, symbols and institutions. It concludes with a stinging denuncia- ticn Of the Hapsburg and Hohen- zollern dynasties and apostrophizes the gladne3s of the Teutonie races at the ultimate defeat of their monarachs.
 Concluding the Judge makes a proposition as follows:
 T have been asked by your Mayor 10 make speech and l have been thinking the matter over and l feel that the best speech can make is in the following proposition Being 100 old 10 go to Che front want to do my bit so to the girl 5fteon
