RED CIR )SS WARNING

Washington, d. c., Sept. 3.-Be-
cause OF the growing misuse Of the
Red Cross emblem commercially, the
American Red Cross has Just issued a
new warning to Il ose who may he
violating the law regarding it. While
much OF this misuse of the emblem is
unintentional and through excessive
zeal, the nationaI Red Cross can no
longer acquiesce in these violations,
many of which have been and are of a
serious nature.
Under the statute, the Red Cross
emblem can only be used by authority.
1t cannot be used in the manufacture
or sale Of Red Cross buttons or pins
except upon such authorization.
Many novelty manufacturing houses
and stores, taking advantage Of the
great increase of popular interest in
Me Red Cross, as well as the growth
in membership to nearly 100000,
have put on sale large quantities Of
Red Cross pins, postcards and de-
vices. An equally common abuse has
been on the cover of patriotic songs
and popular magazines.

WHY Is America at War?

To those who ere still wandering,
honestly, why is America at WARP"
the indictment of the Kaiser by Con-
gresham George Edmond Foss, OF
the Tenth Illinois district is pretty
complete answer. He said:
LAS Ieward for our neutrality
what have we receive1 at the hands
of William II?
"He has set the torch OF the incen-
diary to our factories, our workshops,
our ships aud our wharves.
"He has laid the bomb Of the as
sassin in our munition plants and the
holds OF our ships.
"He has sought to corrupt our man
hood with selfish dream OF peace
when there is no peace.
Gle has wi,fully butchered our cit
liens on the high seas.
"He has destroyed our commerce.
HE seeks to terrorize us with his
devilish policy of frightfulness.
"He has violated every canon Of
international decency and set al
naught every solemn treaty and every
precept of international law.
"He has plunged the world into the
maddest orgy OF blood, rapine and
murder which history records.
''He has intrigued against our peace
at home and abroad.
''He seeks to destroy our civiliza-
ton. Patience is no longer virtue,
further endurance is cowardice, sub
mission to Prussian demands is slave

SETS 2a5e FOR PAPER.

Washington, Sept. Sin an order
which newspaper publishers declare
will serve as an important precedent,
President Wilson has fixed price of
"a cents on newsprint paper for its
use in publishing the governments
daily official bulletin. The order
fixing the price was issued by Secre-
tary Baker at the Presidents direction
under the national defense act, which
empowers the governmental comman-
deer supplies needed for war purpo-
ses. It was directed to the Interna-
tionaI Paper Company, which has
declined to furnish newsprint for the
bulletin at less than three cents per
pound.
Newspaper publishers who learned
of the order today voiced the hope
that it might open the way to cheaper
newsprint to publishers generally.
They called attention to statements
by the President that the administra-
TONS war price policy would be one
that provides that the same prices
that obtain for the government shall
be enjoyed by the people.

Mr.. Cerard's Revelation.

A chain OF causes which aroused
President Wilson and his cabinet to
the need for action against Germany
is gradually coming to light in state
ments made by James w. Gerard,
former ambassador to Berlin.
In an address at Minneapolis, Mr.
Ger ard told Of conference which he
had with the kaiser in which the kais-
err said: "I'll stand no nonsense from
America after the war. America had
better look out, "
The former ambassador also told o.
plans which Germany had made
against the United States at the tune
the kaiser's government was PRETEND
ing in diplomatic messages to be
friendly with this country. Admiral
Won Tirpitz; he says, advocated de-
claring war against America. Ger
many, the admiral commended, could
then collect indemnities from the Unit.
ed States to pay all her debts, after
she had whipped England by ruthless
submarine warfare and had taken
over the British feet.
Summing up the case against Ger
many, Mr.. Gerard said: 1--WE must
win this war, for il Germany wins,
she will be over here. If we fail to
defeat the blood-thirsty autocracy,
life and honor are of no value"
He denounced the work of the pro-
German clique in this country and
pointed out that if Americans now in
Germany printed attacks on Germany
similar to the attacks on America
printed by Germans in this country,
they would be promptly placed be
fore firing squad and shot.
There will be an awakening
here" said Mr.. Gerard, 'aftrr the
first American blood has been spille
on the firing line. The mothers and
sweethearts of the victim will lead
these pro-German publishers from
their offices and demand that they
pay penalty. We are out to win and
we will, despite the traitorous, brbt'
taking minority that would, with their
poisonous propaganda. hamper prog,
ress of the majority"
German propaganda have already
obtained too great a footing in this
country. The safety of the nation Is
at stake and alien enemies who are
unable to refrain from doing hostile
things should be dealt with as swiftly
and sternly as German enemies or
the battleneld. Evansville Courier

ARE THEY ANTICIPATING?
The Hague and Bernc Both Want to
 Receive Peace Tribunals.

The Hague. Netherlands, May ill., Where will the eventual peace con- gress be held, at Berne or the Hague? subject of public discussion in the Netherlan nds. where it is naturally hoped the latter city will be fixed on for that purpose. That the choice will lie between these two there Is considered here little reason to doubt. Either city would form a convenient center so far as it's situation is con- cerned, but the presence of the Peace Palace in Hollands diplomatic capi- tal and the Hague's general reputa- tion as the scene of the peace con. ference, give 1t. it Is claimed, an Ad- vantage over its assumed rival.
 Holland has a great interest in the choice falling on the Hague. for that is about the only chance of her se- curing a voice in the weighty confer ence that will fix Europe's destines. As questions will inevitably arise at the peace congress vitally affecting the nation which holds the mouths of three of northern Europe's great waterways.-the Rhine, the Mouse and the Scheldt-the sitting of such a congress at the Hague might prove of the greatest importance to Hol- land, quite apart from the welcome international prestige which neces- sarily would accrue to the state with in whose borders it is held.

TOWNSHEND IS WELL
 TREATED BY TURKS.
Captive Comfortably Lodged on
 Island in Sea of Marmora

London, May 11.-General Towns bend. who was captured In Kut-el. Amara, in the early campaign in Me- sopotamia, is lodged In the vina Hampson at Prinkipo. an island in the Sea of Marmora. He praises the thoughtful attention of the Ottoman authorities for his comfort.
 This statement is made by the Inter- national committee of the Red Cross In their latest reports. Delegates of this society have visited many depots wherein British. French and Indian officers are placed and they report that it must he recognized that the Turkish authorities had made serious attempts to alleviate the harlships Of these soi- diers in captivity. The report says:
 In general the best hotels and pri- vate houses have been placed at the disposal of the British and French of- hcers. With some exceptions. the of- fcers have not made any complaints as to their lodgings and food. As for the soldiers, the question Is different. We know that the Turkish soldiers are subjected to the same regime; they are content with very little. endure the greatest privations and are accus- toned to the smallest amount of nourishment. The Euroreans. prin. cipally those coming from Kut. have been 50 weakened by tho marches across the desert that one can under- stand their restoration to health would be rendered difficult by an insufficient 0et. When. as at Alum Karahissar, they have to work. their strength Is taxed to an extent which Is not in pro- portion with their power of resistance. This implies no blame on tho Turkish authorities. but is the result of excep- tional ctrcumstances'
 At Eski Shehr. sixty-six Indian Mo- hammedan officers arc lodged in the best private houses in tho town. At Brusa. which was visited on November 21 and 22, fourteen British onlcers in- cluding six generals were at tho Hotel Brotte. and Hotel Osmanieh.
 At Alum Karahissar on November 2S, there were 67 British officers, 4s2 British soldiers and 223 Indian sol- diers. The quality of tho food was satisfactory but the quantity rather too small. The delegates received an as- surance from the Turkish high com mand that the prisoners shall not be obliged to work more than eight hours a day; they reeve exactly the same food as the Turkish soldiers.
 The delegates declare themselves extremely satisfied with tho arrange ments made by the British authorities for the housing. feeding and clothing of Turkish prisoners.

One of the sreatest banes of mod , efn civilization is constipation. Waste material which should be eliminated h held in the system and absorbed which vttiates the blood and causes numerous ills. A person with perfect digestion cannot have constipation as constipation Is unnatural, and with the organs of digestion working nat urally. elimination will so on without the aid of laxatives. Herbal Lax-a- Tone. as the name implies is a lax ative tonic. It relieves constipation and at the same time 1t restores the functions of digestion and in a short time no laxative is needed. The great trouble with the majority of laxattves. is the fact that they are merely cathartics and force the bow els to do the work without building up the. digestion and the system, the
