RED cnOSSnEEDSfUND
"Drive" for $780, 600, 900 Opens
Throughout Country.
New York and Chicago viii Give At
Least $4,000, ,000NEvery Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of $10O,0OO,OOO to enable the Red
Cross to give the proper care to the
sick and wounded, the homeless and
the desolate when his men get into
the fighting in earnest. New York city
has promptly pledged itself to raise
One-fourth of whatever sum is needed"
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cago will be asked for something be-
tween S5,OOO,OOO and S10OOO,00O, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. o. B. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director Of the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the GEN.
trail division, and will open a drive
for the money in nine states as soon
as it has been determined just how
much he needs.
The money will be raised by sub
scription among the various chapters,
and it has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fOurth of what
ever sum it raises. Mr.. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
100000 over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross is compelled to raise
its fund from the people because 1t has
so small an endowment fund-less than
S2,OOO OOO-while Japan, for instance,
has more than $13,OOO,OOO in her fund,
the income from which pays all ex-
penses.
The money is necessary to keep up
the supplies and equipment of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.

Military Organization of
Romans 1000 Years Ago
Was Model of Efficiency

When Rome invaded the Germanic
countries-about II B. c., or julius
Caesars time-the Roman general staff
was obliged to send back to the rear
along the Rhine and the Lippe-large
amounts of grain and other rations,
says the Peoples Home Journal. The
vessels In which these were transport
ed nearly 1000 years ago have been
found In mounds of earth and refuse
recently excavated. These great earth
en- vessels are marked with many
inscriptions regarding their con-
tents, showing how carefully the Ro-
man general staff did its work. As
an example of efficiency the Roman
military organization has been the
wonder Of the world. From the in
scriptions on these vessels one dis
covers how the Roman soldier was
fed. His rations evidently consisted
Of bread, the staff Of life, for the
preparation Of which the grain was
ground in small hand mills.
Fish, snails, mussels and oysters, as
well as many kinds Of fruit, especially
peaches, were included in the bill of
fare. OF metal vessels the common
man Of that day knew very little; he
ate from earthen unglazed dishes and
cooked his food in pots Of the same
ware. A curious document has been
found in the caves of the 1000 Budd-
has In India, written about 900 A. D.,
and in a good state Of preservation.
The author, military officer by the
hame Of Bagatur Chigsli, pronounces
in angry terms his dissatisfaction with
the food supplied by the commissary de-
partment, viz: One sheep and two
butts of water for the commanding off,
Ger and 30 adjutants, all of whose
names are. recorded. "Bagui, the
commissary. is a wretched, good-for-
slave" declared Bagatur. This
complaint recorded over 1000 years
ago, Is the "t0uch Of nature which
makes the whole world kin"

THE HINDENBERG LINE
 AND ALLIED OFFENSIVE
lBy Perry Arnold, United Press
 Staff Correspondent)

! NBy Perry Arnold, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, June 1, (By MaiD Something like 145 square miles
 of French territory regained; more
 than 60,000 prisoners taken; from
 75,000 to 250,000 killed and stopp- age of all plans for German west ern front offensive have been the results achieved to date in the great
 Franco British offensive.
 The figures are purely estimates. Neither the Allies nor Germany hare
 yet issued casualty lists for this fighting. The front is so irregular that it is difficult to figure cat ac- tual acreage wrested from the in vader. But the defeat of Hinden- burg's plans for the summers fight ing. have been achieved beyond all
 doubt.
 The strategy of the famous fIiu- denburg retreat was to force the British and French to make their much-advertised spring offensive over ground chosen by the German commander and against positions defensively prepared in advance.
 Hindenburs selected the last few days of winter as the time in which to make his retreat, figuring it was too early for the Spring Offensive to begin, and ths.t the spring thaws would come al time when move ment of pursuing troops. would be most difficult. However, in order to hamper pursuit, he laid waste to every inch of ground. At least three supplementary defense lines to the Hindenburg line were spread over this ground released to the French and British. The Germans figured these lipes would check all advances and permit withdrawal with a minimum of German losses to the Hindenberg line.
 Once intrenched along the Hinden- burg line, the Germans planned spring offensive of their own on some other front, confident in the impregnability of this long-pre- pared line against any Franco Brit ish offensive.
 But the French and British pur- suit was far more speedy than the Germans had counted upon. Not only did the allies quickly swarm over the first preliminary German defense lines, but they speeded up and started their Spring Offensive several weeks ahead of time. More over, instead of directing the at

tacks at the pivots to the north and south on which Hindenburg had swung his retreat.
 The British turned the northern point on this Hindenburg line by capture of Fresnoy, Gavrelle and Oppy. To the south, the French crumbled it away around Cerny and Craonne. IL is around these north ! ern and soutnein points tlat the h.;iting is of f.ercest intensity to- day.
 The Hindenbdrg line is supposed to start somewhere about Drocourt, which lies midway between Lens and Donai. A so-called Switch line" presumably long prepared, connects Drocourt with the old German line around Lens. From Drocourt the Hindenberg line swings through Bois Bernard to, Fresnoy, then south to Oppy, through Gavrelle, Roeux, Pelves, Boiry- y-Notre Dame, Remy, Hende- court, RiGncourt, and to Quoant.
 This section of the Hindenburg line has been dubbed the "Wotan line" by the Germans, after the Morse Supreme God. The Wotan line is protected by the so-called Oppy line preliminary defense front between Oppy, Gavrelle and Roeux. It has been penetrated at these three points by the British.
 From Queant, the Hindenburg line runs through Beaumetz, Villers Heudicourt, Roisel, Vermand, St. Quentin, LaFere, Laon, Sissonne, Craonne, across the AIsne and down to a point north of Rheims.
 This section, from Queant south, has been called the "Siegfried line'' by the Germans-after the Wagner ian hero. It has been penetrated at Craonne and near Rheims by the French.

 They have torn the cloak fairly
 well from this masquerader. In stead of being wealthy cattleman
 he is a fraud of the first water, liv- I1ng by his wits, the consorter of sporting women and the willing tool of those who need him and will pay the price.
 In holding OXman for trial for subornation of per Judge Brady de- livered himself as follows:
 The sole question that has been before this court since the beginn- ing of the investigation and which I am now to determine, is as to whether or not public offense has been committed, and as to whether or not there is reasonable and prob able cause for believing the de- dentant guilty of it. I have care fully weighed the evidence submit ted and must decide both questions in the affirmative.
 The point has been made that the evidence was insufficient to justify this conclusion. I feel that such is not the case.
 The letters written by the defend ant, and admittedly in his hand writing, to Rigall, are not ex- plained.
 In addition to these letters we have the testimony of the witness, Rigall, as to two conversations which he had with the defendant, which coroborate tho matters set forth in the letters.
 These conversations show that the witness Rigall, was approached by the defendnt to obtain testimony in the Mooney case and thereafter was promised compensation in the sum of S20O for so doing. In view of this uncontradicted testimony there is nothing left for me to do but to hold the defendant. In my opinion it is amply sufficient to war rant the holding. Therefore, it ap- bearing from the evidence etc.
 We take this from an article by Robert Minor when the OXman case was before Judge Mathew Brady above quoted: Judge Mathew Brady is not a Spreckels Grand Jury, Judge Brady runs an open court and so Oxman, FicKert and Cunha did not dare run any P. S.,s in Brady's court. Probably more press ure was brought to bear on that court to let Oxman go than any judge has had to resist in years. The prosecutors bent every effort trying to make their prosecution a failure. Messengers from Fickert brought information to Oxman lawyer and it is even said that the law points were looked up in the District Attorneys office and turned over to Shortrigde with the hope that Shortridge would beat the Dis -rict Attorney with them. The Grand Jury was used as club and excuse. Had Brady been looking Or a towards outlet he would have lad some sort of makeshift excuse hat the Grand Jury had refused to | ndict Oxman. But Brady stood | ID like Judge Griffin There seems o be such a thing as justice in his exicon".
 Who is Oxman any way? At Indiana he sold to Mayor ireene 200 acres of land which he | lid not possess. In suit brought | oy John Spain against the o. & w. ailroad for damages, Oxman served s an 'extry witness" and was aught lying, he not having been on he train where he claimed to have cen John Spain. The honest cattle nan" tried land frauds, damage uit perjury, bad checks and then to get hold of some noney.

DESTITUTION.

The recent regrettable case where no official responsibility would be accepted for the burial of an indig- ent has been the means of revealing the fact that the Territory of Alaska at the first session of the Alaska Legislature, by the passage Of Il. B. S5 Chapter 51 of the sesion laws of 1913 did actually provided for such cases.
 Moreover when the case in ques- tion was brought to public notice by an article in this paper, MI. Thomas Gaffney, the special agent for the suppression of the liquor traffic telegraphed to MT. Davison at Juneau relative to the matter, feel ing convinced that the case was fully covered under the law above referred to.
 The official reply to this message said in part: Replying to yours Of 9th inst. The burial expenses ot Fegerdahl case will be paid by Ter ritory. Suggest you confer with Mar shals Office and arrange matters. Expenses should be kept within reasonable limit -. forward vouchers here and payment will be made.
 This case is referred to so that it
 R. may become marked in the public and official mind and there may be none of the unseemly delays which have unfortunately been marked in quite recent and similar cases.
 The law provides clearly and dis tinctly provisions for just such in terments and surely such delays as have occurred have been due in all such instances not to any wanton indifference, but rather to pure lg- norance of the existence Of such law
 Certainly it is observed with great concern that all so many who take an active hand in the settlement and the development of the coun- try. many who give the best part of their lives and energy for very little reward during life and upon an in- digent death find themselves even outlawed from decent and kindly offices that mark the last tribute that people are able to pay to their dead
 This specific case is somewhat frightened by the fact that many when they heard of it and it was brought to their attention, were not only willing but anxious to perform this last act of human kindness and indeed, when it comes to show down in Alaska, there is sell dom any case of waNon neglect that proceeds with full knowledge of the facts.
 However, in order that even de- pendence upon familiarity with the circumstances may be removed, this matter is here referred to, so that when any such an incident again | occurs, those may know how to act in the emergency. For such cases reflect not at all upon the dead, but rather upon the living. After life's ftful fever those who are gone sleep well.
 It imports little where they find their last resting place. But that their remains should be neglected by those whom they befriended and who knew them and living to- gether exchanged kindly greetings is always a reflection upon those who living must take responsibility for that neglect. It stands out too a strange comment that while burying the dead was duty kindly md humanly undertaken by the savage, regardless of the circum- stances of the deceased. our civilized nations neglect only those who are enough to die destitute. .
