Red Cross Leaders
Announce Plan of
Nationwide Drive

A nationwide Christmas Member
ship Drive has been planned by the
Red Cross War Council. The build
ing up Of Red Cross membership to
Is, O00, 900 in the United States is the
goal of campaign. This means an
Addition of approximately 100000
names to the present muster roll.
The drive is to start December ~ and
continue increasingly to Chrismtas
Eve
snake it Red Cross Christmas
is to be the recruiting slogan. by
eryone taking out a membership IN
the Red Cross during the drive per-
iod is to be known as Christmas
Member, and the effort practically
will be limited to securing annual
members paying annual dues Of one
or two dollars. As this is the coun-
try's first Christmas in the world
war, it is felt that the people will be
thinking of service rather than fes-
Invites and that minds generally will
be turned to the battlefields in Eu-
rope, and especially to our own SOL
diers and sailors. 1t is believed there
fore that the country will be in frame
of mind at Christmas time to give
expression to all it, anxiety and hope
by showing and renewing evidences
Of its support Of the Red Cross"

Hard Game.
The game was hard fought from
whistle to whistle. At times Red
wood showed real old-time class such
as the boys exhibited against Win
dom and Glencoe, but for the most
part they were not up to their usual
form. Warner was injured in the
first quarter SO that his speed was
checked Yackel was unable to drive
with his usual force, while Hillig was
out Of the game entirely because of
an injured ankle received Wednesday
evening during the last practice
through the line and were possible
largely because Of Redwood's poor
tackling. Ryan, Litchfeld's fullback
slipped past the first defense. anG

by as many as three men,. He was

Mrs. Henry Amberg

Mrs. Henry Amberg died at the
Redwood Falls Hospital early last
Friday morning as the result of in
juries she received when the car in
which she was riding Thanksgiving
night ran into a tree and she was
thrown forcibly upon the seat in front,
inflicting injuries to her lungs. Funer-
al services were held at the Church
and interment was made in the Red
wood Falls cemetery. Father Tomek,
pastor Of the local church, officiated
at the service.
Mrs. Amberg, in company with her
husband and Mr. and Mrs. Vance
Schweinfurter, was returning home
from a drive about six o'clock, and
were going through the park when
the car slipped in deep sand near the
gravel pit and ran into tree Mrs.
Amberg, who was occupying the rear
seat with Mrs. Schweinfurter, was
the only one in the party who was
injured at all and it was thought by
attending physicians that her injur
les were very slight and that she
would be entirely recovered the next
day. Her husband returned to his
home but was called to her bedside
at four o'clock the next morning, and
at seven o'clock the patient suffered
hemorrhage and died within short
time.
! Mrs. Amberg was formerly Sophia
Ruder and was about forty-three
years of age. She was married to
Henry Amberg in 1898 and five chill
dren, all of whom survive their moth
er, were born to the union. Beside
her husband and children Mrs. Am
| berg is survived by her sisters, Mrs.
James Whittet and Miss Anna Ruder
and her three brothers, Joseph, An
drew and John Ruder, all of the vi
entity Of Redwood Falls. She was a
woman of many friends and one who
will be greatly missed in all the circles
| in which she moved. To the husband
and the bereft children the loss is
almost unbearably heavy and the keen
est sympathy is felt for them by all
who have learned Of the tragedy. Mr.
Amberg's mother and sister are with
his family now and win remain until
some permanent arrangement fol-
their comfort can be made.

+ football Season Closed;
Litchfield Wins Game

Smarting under defeat the boys
trimmed the heavy and much praised
Glencoe team here by score of 33
to 8 the following week. This was
Redwood's best game. The boys
showed better form and more real
football in this game>> than in any
other on the schedule. This was to
have been followed on November 10
by the Mankato game. Mankato can
celled her entire schedule and Red
wood was forced to. meet the weak
and poorly trained St. Peter team.
This added nothing to the teams
laurels nor did it put them in shape
for the two succeeding hard games.
At the eleventh hour Madison can
celfed her game for November "a.
This was one of the really important
games. on the schedule. But with this
cancellation just before the Thanks
giving game the team needed good
stiff. game and finally met the Alum
nj, whom they defeated by a score
of 81 to H. While this was real
game and gave the boys good work
out, they came out of it with the
wrong attitude, considering it mere
ly hard practice game rather than
a. real scheduled game. The result
was that they came to the Litchfield
game SIX days later in the wrong at
titude towards it which resulted, ac-
cording to the coach, in "a bad case
of stage fright"
Coed Material

] Coach McPheeters for the work he
has done with the team this year.
/ He has devoted valuable time and
energy to develop what appeared in
the fall to be hopeless bunch of
green material into first class foot

lis very good. He leaves this fall a
| fine bunch of reserves who have had
a taste of real work in real games
from which he or his successor will
be able next year to build district
championship team. Of this years
| squad, Captain Yackel, Warner and
Hillig played their last game in the
red and white suits on Thanksgiving
Day. The entire line and the quar-
terback will be in school next year,
unless Uncle Sam gets some of them,
while in Stewart. a freshman this
! year, there is excellent material for
the beginnings of a good backfeld.
The season this year is emminently
successful from every point of view,
but with such coaching as the boys
got from McPheeters there are bet

IN AUSTRIA: WILL
SUPPORT ALLIES.
Lower House of Reichsrat
Reassembles This Week
Premier Tells Plan
EQUALITY IN
FRANCHISE SEEN
Proposes That All People
Shall Have Autonomy
Would Preserve State
(By Assocfated Press.l

Amsterdam, Sept. 27.-The lower
house Of the Reichsrat reassembled
Tuesday, according to Vienna dis
patches. The premier expounded the
governments program which he said
would deal in the first place with
social and economic matters, the most
urgent Of which was food. He an
nounced that steps had been taken
to convert the food department into
ministry of food.
The premier promised to submit
to the constitutional committee
proposals for the reform Of the con-
stitution, aiming at equality of all
nationalities on basis of national
autonomy, while preserving the un-
ity Of the state.
The premier then turned to the
foreign policy, declaring that 'the
basis Of this. as heretofore, is loyal
" towards our allies, and warned
those who thought they could serve
peace by carping criticism of the
alliance between the Central pow
ers, that they merely encouraged the
war.
Alluding to the papal note, he
said:
I'VE believe that agreements can
be obtained, which under proper
guarantees might enable armament
to be gradually and simultaneously
reduced, amongst others things by
the introduction Of this basis of
obligatory arbitration for interna-
tional disputes.
Our readiness to arise at an
agreement with our enemies with
these bases Is absolutely serious. and
secure and IS inspired by the con-
sciousness of our strength. But il
our enemies are not prepared to take
the profered hand we will continue
our defense war to the utmost.
