Wood. U. s. A.. is the author Of IN ar

the American Red Cross under the
caption what Women Can Do in the
War"
war" General Wood writes,
brings with 1t call to national serv-
ice for women as well as men. There
are two very important ways in which
women can help the nation in war.
I'D By working In industry, thereby
releasing men for the front. and (2) BY
Joining the American Red Cross.
"Next to the preparation Of NUM-
tons and recruiting the army and the
navy, the most important step In get
ting ready for war Is to build up Red
Cross organization. arr.
During the last few years much has
been done to prepare the American
Red Cross for the nations call; but
preparedness on q large scale cannot
be accomplished in peace time. All
that can be done Is to prepare a skele-
ton organization capable of expansion
in war service. to draft plans of mo-
bilization as any army staff would
draft them, and to gather reserve ma
terials and supplies.
when the call comes the Red Cross
must act quickly. 1t must take care Of
a vastly increased army and navy.
Therefore, its growth must parallel
the growth of both branches of the
nations fighting force. .,
Time for Quick Action.
"The declaration of a state Of war
with Germany means that the Amerii
can Red Cross must translate all these
plans prepared during peace into ac-
ton. 1t must be prepared to supple
ment the existing facilities of the med
ical department Of the army and the
navy and of the Medical Reserve corps.

after membership there is oppor-
tunity for service with the Red Cross.
Every chapter has Its workrooms and
its auxiliaries. 1t has trained instruc-
tors In the preparation of hospital and
surgical supplies needed here and
abroad.
MANY chapters have classes In first
aid to the wounded, home care of the
sick, home dietetics, and In the making
Of surgical dressings All Of these are
at the service Of women who wish to
aid their country.
But what the Red Cross does need
today is trained women for the work
Of military relief. The immediate call
is for competent nurses. A soldiers
life is too precious to risk In unskilled
hands. Nurses must largely be drawn
from the hospitals of the cities.
"Women must be found to take the
places of many nurses In civilian hog
pitfalls. To prepare for this emergency
the Red Cross has been conducting
great training classes for women.

MORNING CARRICK SHOW
FOR Red CROSS benefit

In the Garrick Theatre this morning
a special performance Of the regular
Garrick bill was given for the benefit
Of the Red Cross. The attendance was
small, probably not more than one hun
dred people being in the audience but
the financial returns will be fair be-
cause more than two hundred tickets
were sold, many Of those who pur-
chased them not being able to attend
the show. A morning performance was
something Of a novelty In this city,
anyhow.
In every city in the country today
Is known as Red Cross Day, and spe-
cial performances are being given In
all the theatres for the benefit Of the
Red Cross. The actors and actresses
are donating their services free OF
charge the stage hands are doing their
work for nothing, and the theatre man
agement is giving the use Of the house
free Of charge. The entire receipts in
ell the houses Of amusement are to be
turned over to the Red Cross.
This is exactly what was done at
the Garrick Theatre and the financial
returns. it is believed, will be satisfac-
tory. In The Playhouse this afternoon
there will be a special matinee under
the same conditions and for the same
purpose.

WOl'T CUT German

HIGHER CLASSES

While the public school authorities
OF many cities throughout the country
have taken steps looking to the elimina-
ton Of all things German from the text
books used in the schools, the Board q
Education Of this city has not yet found
II necessary TO resort TO anything Of
this kind. Conditions here. u was
stated today, are somewhat different
from those existing In the cities where
this has been done, II was stated.
Professor Clifford J. Scott superin-
tendent Of the public schools Of VII
mington, could not be reached today
but Harry ]. Guthrie, secretary OF the
Board Of Education, explained the local
situation. He said that the foreign
LANGUAGES are not taught IN the c'ty
primary or grammar schools, whereas
in some cities. especially in the West,
German is a compulsory study in the
primary grades all the way down TO the
fourth grade.
Here it is taught only in the High
school In addition to German, French
and Spanish are taught. Spanish has
> been taught. for about i've years and
French was added to the course last
wear. The study Of all these languages
however is elective, and not COM
pulsory; that is, any student may Sc
lect the language which appeals TO him
most.
German has not been stricken from
the list. Mr. Guthrie said. for the rea-
son that in business life later the
student who wants TO take IL up now
may ind It very essential and useful
and therefore any boy or girl may Sc
/ lect German as a foreign language
study.
As to the elimination OF German sub
/ iects and references TO anything Ger
man in the text books. Mr.. Guthrie
said he knew Of no action havin.
been taken by the school board or th'
school authorities In the matter. II
some cities pages containing German
matter have been torn bodily from th'

Mr.. Hoover's statement follows:
The results from meatless DAYS

Mr.. Marvel said that when he read the
Chicago Stories stating that there was
enough meat and wheat without need
for conservation, he had placed them in
the category TO which Mr.. Hoover has
now assigned them As far as Whining
ton Is concerned, Mr.. Marvel does NOT
believe that many people paid any at
