The Cross of Red
Over the dying, over the dead,
Silently bending; her Cross Of Red
No longer shield from shot and
shell,
No longer truce from ruthless hell;
But waivers she never when sounds
the cry
From the field where our heroes
bravely die.
Forward she goes with untiring tread.
Gently she tends them till life has fed
From the mangled forms of soldiers
brave,
Dying for freedom they hoped to save;
Tenderly folding their hands at rest.
She stills the sobs in her aching
breast.
Onward, still onward, in fields of
blood,
The Red Cross nurse midst the battle
food,
Gropes her way through the wounded
and slain
Soothing the victims in mortal pain.
Never falter, though great the fear.
For God, with sustaining Love, is
near. Martha S. Gielow.

Senator Lewis, the Democratic whip, said at the White House today that he believed congres1 should pass resolution reciting acts of aggression by Germany and giving the president. as commander in chief of the army and navy, full authority to defend the rights and interests of the United States.
 A declaration that a state of war exists, the senator said. would have some disadvantages because of inter. ference in the commercial relation ship with foreign nations.
 Senator Lewis declared he believes congress would be virtually united be> hind the president.
 Calls for all party leaders in Con- gress to hurry back to Washington went out imediately. Speaker Clark is on his way home from New Orleans. cratic Leader Kitchin is in North Mann is in Chicago.
 Plans for the party caucuses will be immediately readjusted to meet the requirements of the new call.
 At the capitol those Congressman already here agreed that granting of emergency authority. in some form. will be the first business after organi- zation of the house. Some members favor maintaining the present organi- zation temporarily to expedite emer- gency business on which there are no. party lines. Outside of all emer- gency legislation ,the four failed sup ply bills, the army, military academy, general deficiency and sundry civil, which, include some legislation of vital importance to national defense, will be pressed for quick enactment.
 Other considerations at the extra session include the shipping board to enable the government to take over foreign ships building in American yards and additional rev. enue raising legislation.

THOUSAND DIE IN AIR RAIDS
 ON BUCHAREST
German Aircraft Attacks Claim Many Victims In
 Rumanian Capital.

London, March 21-More than 1000 persons were killed in Bucharest by the attacks of German aircraft prior to the abandonment by the Ruma- nians of the city, according to an ac- count of these raids given out at Jassy, the present capital. In a single day 300 persons were killed by zeppe- lins and airplanes.
 On this occasion, the report says, a group of aeroplanes descended to a low altitude and spent several hours in seeking victims, killing workmcn and workwomen in the fields and streets. Two aereplapes which were pursuing a two horse vehicle on the road had a race to see which could reach it first. The vehicle was going at a good pace but the aeroplanes quickly overlook it, killing the coach man, then the passenger and then the horses!
 The account also describes an air. plane attack on the royal residence, when the young prince Mircea lay hy- ing of typhoid fever. The aviators ev- idently believed the queen and prin- cesses were still there. This attack, the report says, was the subject of a special telegram from the pope to the queen, in which the actic-' of the Ger mans was condemned.

SPINDLE PROJECT AGAINST NEW HAVEN ROAD Police Learn Clever Gang Plotted to Mulct Com
 pany of $50,000. DUPLICATE TICKETS
 SOLD AT CUT RATES Leaders Procured Lines Secret Serial Number \ Seeking Printer.

A colossal campaign, the opera to defraud the New Haven road of a fortune by the sale of duplicate railroad tickets. s5o,0Oo worth of which have been confiscated and New York, New Britain, Hartford, New Haven and Springfield, Mass. has been unearthed by the police.
 Acting on the allegation of railroad officials who as a result of informa- tion given them, believe hundreds Of the spurious pasteboards have been disposed of in this city, Capt. E. O Cronan today began a rigid investi- gation of the matter. One of the a1- legged gang of swindlers, was arrested In this city last night, by Detectives Feeley and Curry and turned oyer, to the Hartford authorities.
 The brains of the conspiracy, rail- road officials assert, is Frank Osborne, of Springfield, Mass, a conductor in the employ of the road for 29 years and always considered by road officials one of their most efficient and trusted men. Through him, is is alleged, the band managed to obtain the prop CT serial numbers for the issue of fake tickets, and he is believed to have been the prime mover in the opera tions of the gang.
 Osborne is under arrest at Hartford and has been suspected for about three weeks of being implicated. A month ago the spurious pasteboards made their appearance. Inside of a week the extent of the duplication alarmed the road officials and they began an investigation, calling in de- tectives to pick up the trail of the swindlers which lead, to New York; Springfield, New Britain and prac4 tically every city on the shore line in this state.
 It is impossible to distinguish the duplicate tickets from the ones issued by the railroad. Detection of the workings of the gang came only as a result of the fact that the railroad s serial number, which they obtained in some manner, was for tickets printed for use the two ensuing months.
 If they had waited two more weeks before starting to sell the pasteboards the duplication would not have been O1SCOV0T0Q TOT dC 1cdSCs d 1IOuIu dIlu the band would have cleaned rp a for tuhe by their clever operations,
 The man arrested in this city yes-er. day, Frank McNamara, of AZ Chestnut street, New Britain, is charged by the police with coming to Bridgepor. with the intention of disposing of tickets to be used between this city and New York, Bridgeport and Hartford, and Bridgeport and Springfield, good in either direction. They were to be sold at reduced rates to guarantee a speedy cleanup.
 The authorities have under arrest at Hartford, Adolph Witkin~and Harry Gordon, both of New Britain, who, 1t is alleged, were to act as agents in sell ing the tickets for Osborne. Search is being made in this city and through- out the state for the printer who is alleged to have manufactured the pasteboards at the request of Osborne
