day morning and made quite good
haul in money goods. etc, from the
stores Of Clcvic +. llearne q Co. and
Price Bros Both stores are in the
same building the concrete building
owned by learne u Go. Entrance was
effected by saving the iron bars from
a rear window in the flearnc store
Once inside the burglars seem to have
taken their time to make a complete
Job
The safe in the IIearne store was
blown open. but no money was obtained.

the days sales in the bank late in the
afternoon The burglars did. however.
take all the jewelry and Il lot of fancy
work from the sho~ cases. Several
boxes OF shoes are also missing from
the shelves. The proprietors stated
over the phone to q News reporter that
they could not estimate Their loss very
accurately bat that it would amount TO
quite large sum
The burglars were more fortunate in
the Price store. 80 far rs securing
mone,. The safe was also blown open
and about fifty dollars in money secured.
Little merchandise was taken. as this
firm deals exclusively in groceries
The warehouse oil Long Bros, was
also broken into and a quantity OF gaso-
line and oil was taken This leads to
the conclusion that the burglars went
to Fruitland in an automobile. as the
ground showed traces Of oil from the
Long store 10 the scene OF the burglary
1t is believed the burglary occurred
about , O'Clock Tuesday morning, as
about that time some of the residents
of Fruitland were awakened by the

Red Cross surgeons and orderlies
give first aid TO the wounded in little
underground dressing stations in the
front line trenches. In these dark, wet
places. cold and ill-ventilated. it is
sometimes necessary TO perform major
operations-such as an amputation, for
instance. War records In France show
that as many Red Cross workers as in
fantrymen are killed by enemy FIRE in

requires courage OF the highest order.

OUR RED CROSS IS
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans who have been
been making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
lty of the Red Cross would constrain it
to send food, medicines and hospital
units to Germany.
SCI want to give to help our boys, and
the stricken people Of France and Bel
gum and Serbia" many lone has
written in; shut I don't feel like doing
anything if the Germans get part of 1t"
Americans need be under no appre-
hension. Not a cent of Red Cross con-
tributions is going to Germany, or has
gone there since the war was declared
by the United States. General Per-
shing has gone to Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sans compliments in
the form Of shells and American bay
onets. but the Red Cross has no part in
that except to care for such of Cen
eraI Pershing's men as may need care.
The matter Of sending Red Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
in the recent Red Cross war council in
Washington. Charles D. Norton, one
of the members, answered inquiries
thus:
'The answer is exceedingly simple.
We do not purpose to be tried for trea-
son. We do not purpose to lend aid
| and comfort to our enemies. We mean
TO attend our own American Red Cross
affairs"
Former President Taft, who is chair
man of the executive committee, sup
ported this view. He said that when
wounded Germans fell into the hands
Of the American Red Cross they will
get the same treatment as our own
men; but that it would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Germany
as we did before we were forced into
! the war.
So Americans can give freely, know
ing that every cent is for our own and
our allies wounded, and not for the
/ enemy

RED CROSS NEEDS FUND.
Drive" for 100000, 900 Opens
Throughout Country.
New York and Chicago Will Give at
Least $4,000, ooo-Every Region
Must BE Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of $100,0O0,0O0 to enable the Red
Cross TO give the proper care to the
sick and wounded, the homeless and
the desolate when his men get into
the fighting in earnest. New York city
has promptly pledged itself to raise
one-fourth Of whatever sum is needed"
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cago will be asked for something be-
tween 100000 and $10,OO0,OOO, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. o. d. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director of the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the CEN
trail division, and will open a drive
for the money in nine states as soon
as it has been determined just how
much he needs.
The money win be raised by sub
scription among the various chapters,
and 1t has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fourth Of what
ever sum it raises. Mr. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
$1O0,OO0,O00 over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross Is compelled to raise
its fund from the people because it has
so small an endowment fund-less than
$4,000, OOO-while Japan. for instance,
has more than S13.OOO.OOO in her fund,
the income from which pays all ex-
penses.
The money is necessary to keep up
the supplies and equipment Of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.

WAR FILMS OF MUCH VALUE
Motion Pictures Taken From AirpIanes
Disclose Movements of Troops
to the Enemy.

War films, says the Boston Tran
script, have proved to be very useful
to the French general staff, and pre-
sumably to those of the other fighting
nations. Used only as an experiment
at first, they have been of such prac-
teal value that the return of the
cinematograph operator from his
aerial reconnaissance is always impa-
tiently awaited at headquarters.
The moving-picture man who volun-
teers for this work undertakes a very
difficult and daring feat. He must be
a master of his profession, having
nerves of steel, and be willing to take
great risks. More often than not he is
obliged to fly at low altitude, for
otherwise his pictures would be with
out value. Many men who have gone
out on those perilous expeditions have
never returned.
The war films show the experienced
observer a great deal that is going on
behind the enemy's lines. The trenches
are clearly visible. 1t is even possible
to discern the men digging trenches or
placing big guns in position. The cine
matograph men have often brought
back excellent pictures. taken from
waterplanes, that show the movement
of ships and the track of enemy peri
scopes.
