RED CROSS NOT NEUTRAL.
But Wounded Germans Will Not Be
Neglected.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 11.-Man,
questions have arisen as to the att
tude of the American Red Cross to
ward Germans wounded on the battle
! field, and also toward Americans O.
German origin affiliating themselve.
with Red Cross hospital units going
abroad. To make clear the attitude
of the Red Cross, Henry P Dawson
J chairman of the war council, author.
ICES the following statement:
When war was declared between the
United States and Germany the neu.
trality of the American Red Cross OF
! course ended automatically. The
American Red Cross can cooperate
only behind the lines of the armies of
the United States and its allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of a wounded
man. Any wounded enemy turned over
to the care of the American Red Cross
will receive as kindly treatment as any
friend.
The Red Cross will not only extend
every aid and comfort to the armies
of America and it's allies, but it will
assist In every possible way the sick,
wounded and afflicted among the
civilian populations among our allied
countries. This is in conformity with
the practice of the Red Cross Society
in every country.
AS to the policy of the Red Cross
in this country toward those of Ger
man origin:
The Red Cross knows no difference
and makes no distinction between any
American citizen.
In SO far as base hospital units are
concerned, the Red Cross equips and
enlists the personnel of those to be
sent to Europe to operate not only
with our own armies, but with those
of our allies. Once enlisted and mus
tered into service, these units become
part Of the army of'the United States,
and there is of course no discrimina-
tion by the Red Cross or the Ameri-
can army against any loyal American
citizen, no matter of what national
origin.
Our allies in Europe, however, have
requested the American State Depart
ment not to permit persons born in
enemy countries, or of parents born in
an enemy country, to travel as civil
ians in any of the Allied countries.
Representations, however, have been
made by the Red Cross, which it is
hoped will ultimately prove effective,
whereby loyal American citizens on
Red Cross service may be exempted
from the operation of this rule, no
matter what the country of their ori-
gin.
The Red Cross wants it clearly un-
derstood that it welcomes the coopera-
ton of every loyal American, and that
it does not regard that loyalty as
measured by the country of his origin.

PEACE WITHOUT PUNISHMENT
PREMIUM UPON CRIME

The more desperate Germany's
plight becomes the more bluff it will
put up; the more it offers peace on
its own terms, the more the traitors
in congress who represent Germany
and not the United States will per-
jure themselves and work against this
country and for Germany.
The sentimental neurotic degen-
crates among women who flood a
murderer's prison cell with flowers
and scented notes will have many imi-
tators who will seek to save Germany,
the international rapist and murderer,
from just punishment for it's crimes.
Millions of men have been killed,
murdered, because of Germany's fight
to conquer the world; hundreds of
thousands of women have been out
ragged by her brutal officers and pri-
Yates; innocent babies have died in
numbers too great to be recorded
fathers and m6thers and wives have
gone to untimely graves in the awful
agony of suffering through the suffer
ings of their loved ones. But weak
minded degenerates, men and women,
led by Germany's lecherous traitors
to America and to civilization, will
struggle to save Germany from de-
feat and punishment.
Let such people be branded now as
the accomplices of the rapists and the
murderers, the favored friends of bar
barism run rampant; and let every
honest woman and decent man forever
Shun and oStraSiZe every degenerate
man or woman who under the false
cry of peace joins in the effort to save
Germany from paying the full penalty

PROHIBITION AGAIN
LOOMING Up IN OHIO.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1S-The saloon
question i'm Ohio. which has been more
or less dormant since the defeat of
the statewide amendment by the vot-
ers i'm the fail of 1914. promises to
come to the front again this year to
be the leading issue IN state politics
Plans to submit statewide prohi-
bition amendment to the voters again
next fail are to be prepared by the
Ohio State Anti-Saloon League here
this week. Today the trustees of the
league met i'm conference and tomor-
row there will assemble a general
state convention of the anti-saloon
workers.
Although it is announced that the
meetings are to decide whether the
prohibition issue will be put to a vote
this year. it is generally believed that
this already has been decided upon
and that merely definite plans for the
campaign remain TO be worked out. 1t
is said that the plan favored is to
seek the repeal of the home-rule con-
stitutional amendment and have
statewide dry amendment passed
next fall. The nature of the campaign
has been virtually decided upon. ii
is said, as the result of an informal
referendum among prohibition lead
ers of almost all counties i'm the state.

TOXIC, Jan. 23-Because Of pro-
tests raised by Great Britain. France,
and Russia. the railway loan signed
September 30 between the Chinese
government and the American firm Of
Stem & Carey, St. Paul, has been re-
vised, according to an official dis
patch to the Japanese government
Four lines, all but the one connect
ing VingehOw with LunshOw in the
island of Hainan, have been dropped
from their original contract it is re-
ported.
The line i'm Hainan Island and an
other of 500 miles which is to connect
Chuchow, a town in Tunan Province,
with Chinchow. in Kwangtung, are
given in the new contract The amount
of the loan is to be changed as a re-
suit of a change in the plans, says the
dispatch received here The new
amount is to be decided after survey
by Mr.. Kyle, engineer of the Stem
Carey company, who is now on his
way to China.
1t is probable that the last prOpOs-
ed line between ChuchOw and Chin
chow also may receive a protest from
Great Britain and France, because tf
conflict with the Hawking isngyi line
