the prospect is that all will see early

is giving It as rapidly as possible.

OUR RED CROSS IS
NOT AIDING ENEMY !.
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans who have been
helping the Red Cross have OF late
been making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
ity Of the Red Cross would constrain 1t
to send food, medicines and hospital
units to Germany.
II want to give to help our boys, and
the stricken people Of France and Bel
GUM and Serbia many a ore has
written in; 'but don't feel like doing
anything If the Germans get part Of It"
Americans need be under no appre-
hension. Not q cent Of Red Cross con-
tributions is going to Germany, or has
gone there since the war was declared
by the United States. General Per-
shing has gone to Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sans compliments In
the form Of shells and American bay
onets. but the Red Cross has no part In

ported this view. He said that when
wounded Germans fell into the hands
OF the American Red Cross they will
net the same treatment as our own
men; but that 1t would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Germany
as we did before we were forced into
the war.
So Americans can give freely, know
ing that every cent is for our own and
our allies wounded, and not for the
