RED CROSS PLACES $4,000
AT DIR. INQUIRIES DISPOSAL
In time of peace a base hospital is
organized" and entirely financed by tho
Red Cross. In time Of war, however,
though the organization is effected
under the same auspices. the govern
ment assumes tho financial burden and
itself prcsides over the extremely i'm
portant matter Of providing the neces-
sary equipment. Within the past few
days notification has been received
from Washington to the effect that,
owing to certain conditions not def
nitely stated. the government was
hnding 1t impossible at this time to
undertake the responsibility Of pro-
Viding tho equipment Whether this
means a lack of available funds or a
mere inability on the part OF the mar
ket to furnish the equipment, is not
known. 1t was intimated that the
situation would be subsequently met.
but that in the meantime any base
hospital not in position to provide its
own equipment would be seriously han
dicapped. and would. perhaps. not be
! called into service for very long
! time. This situation was promptly
brought by DIR. Mcclure to the atten-
ton OF the local Red Cross authorities.
| who met him with spirit of great
| cordiality. 1t was decidedly stimu
lating to the base hospital membership

NORWAY SENDS MEN
 ID ASK FUR FOOD

Norway is sending to this country commissioners who will ask for exports of wheat, corn and oats In the mean killing it's sailors. On June 15 the de- struction of five Norwegian vessels was reported. Only four of the men on one of them survived the German gunfire, and the lives of all on another were taken. In May forty y-nine of NorWay's ships were sent to the bottom, and it has lost 2S1 since the first day of Jan uary. While the submarines were en- gagged in this foul work widely known men in Norway were exporting to Ger many the nickel used in making the torpedoes by which ships are sunk. They had been doing this for two years, and their suicidal export trade has been a subject of discussion in Norwegian newspapers.
 The attitude of Norway's government is extraordinary. Commissioners com
 ing here to represent it in negotiations
 for food will not find it easy to prove that they deserve any consideration. They can get no grain from Canada. They should have none that is produced in the United States. so l5ng as Norway fails to resent Germaays s attacks upon it's merchant marine. For a long dime IL has been the Tictinl of a one sided
 war If it had snown evidence of man. nness and decent self respect, and had become a war ally of it's friends here and in Europe, it might reasonably ask tor a part of the food we can spare.
