 Care of roses: Keep the soil moist amout newly set roses to encourage a rapid growth of the young roots.
 If the plants were set out late, apply a good heavy mulch to keep the soil cooler. It is sufficient to irrigate newly-set plants every four or five days Plant noses by themselves in
 beds or in rose garden which has an exposure to direct sunlight at
 least one-half of each day. The north side of a house in a small yard is not as favorable as an eastern or western exposure, since the plants will get little or no direct sunlight during the late fall and winter months. A southern exposure is per haps the best as the plants have sun i light throughout the year.

 In southern Arizona, where the summers are hot. the air dry, and

NEW HISTORICAL HIGHWAY

d The St. Peter Free Press says that
town will probably get the ''Sioux Indian
Historical Highway, plans for the estab-
lishment of which are now being made,
and will lead through where the Sioux
Indian uprising occurred.
.."This automobile trail will start at
Camp Release, Montevideo, Chippewa
county, and terminate either at Manka-
to or St. Peter" the Free Press says,
.'Fwhere it will join the Daniel Boone
Trail. All along the trail are monuments
and markers commemorating early
Indian history Of Minnesota. Among
some of the historic places the trail will
pass thru are Traverse des Sioux and
Fort Ridgely.'
1t would certainly be appropriate that
this trail should pass thru New Ulm, the

AMERICAN RED CROSS
RECRUITS FOR BRITISH

/ That the American Red Cross Society
has become an adjunct to the Britishre-
cruiting service, is the contention of
some of the leading publications in this
country, who believe in fair play to all
the nations engaged in the European
war. The New World, formerly the
Fatherland, has indisputable evidence
that the headquarters Of the society at
Detroit, Mich, is actually used as a re-
cruiting station for the British army.
That paper says, in recent issue:
HAS this noble enterprise, founded
in the United States for the succor of
the i'll and wounded, irrespective Of
race or nationality, a foundation sup
ported by millions of Americans, and
which appeals to public sympathy,
succumbed to partisanship, and be
come subservient to the British pro-
paganda that has caused so much harm
in this country?"
The incrediable news has reached
that paper that the American Red
Cross headquarters in Detroit, Mich,
has been transformed into a British re-
cruiting agency, and that the name and
insignia of this historic Society have been
prostituted to the cause of Staying men,
not healing them.
''The Fatherland" notifies the high
officials of the American Red Cross that
grave responsibility confronts them,
namely that of seeking out and punish
ing the persons who are guilty of this
fiagrant outrage against their time
honored organization. Action must be
swift and the punishment severe, if the
American Red Cross is not to be smirch-
ed for all time. ... . - =. :. -. -.
An investigation into this alleged
violation of Red Cross principles and
traditions was at once instituted and
the facts were borne out.
The facts in the case appear to be as
follows; .... ...
In the display of the American Red
Cross in Detroit, on Shelby Street,
three British recruiting posters are
placed conspicuously in the windows.
The posters show soldiers in British
uniforms, and in bold lettering at the
lower end of two Of the large posters
are the following lines: Published
by the parliamentary Recruiting Com
mission -London-Poster No. 1879.
The mcst conspicuous of the British
posters is in the north window of the
headquarters. It illustrates British
soldier in uniform beckoning to the
civilian to- enlist. The other posters
display captions such as Forward to
Victory" Enlist Now" and '"'There's
Room for you''. One of them shows a
long line of British soldiers in uniform,
with train of civilians following them,
carrying handbags, etc. AT the top of
this bill is the heading "Step into Your
Place.. Another poster depicts train
load of British soldiers waving goodbye
from the open windows and platforms
of the cars.
The unneutrality, bad taste, if not
indecency of such an exhibit in the win
dows OF Red Cross headquarters, is
apparent to everyone. And the ques-
ton arises, how many Red Cross stations

who witnessed the disgusting exhibit in
Detroit, writes in part as follows:
Really, do not believe the workers;
that is, the good women who daily volun-
teer to remain at Red Cross Headouar-
ters, realize that they are aiding Great
Britain indirectly. But herein lies the
danger and wickedness in this pro-
British plot. The fact that belliperent
like Britain can indirectly influence.
these people to work in her interest
makes the sin doubly great.
I deem this use of the Red Cross
Headquarters to bring to the attention
OF msuspecting passersby the recruiting
OF fighters for Great Britain, an inexcusable.
thing. How many other stations are
doing the same thing? The excuse that
Canadians sent over the posters is alb
surd. Of course they sent them over
since most of the recruiting done for
Great Britain in this country has been
under the supervision of Canadian.

The action OF the Red Cross in ad..

Britain is all the more astounding. s;nco~
