Red Cross VIII
Treat An Hurt
Soldiers Alike
Germans as Well as Ameri.
cans to Receive Care
When Required.

A letter has been received here cx-
planning the attitude of the American
Red Cross toward Germans wounded
on the battlefield and also toward
Americans of German origin affilating
themselves with Red Cross hospital
units abroad. Henry T.. Dawson,
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 it's allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality Of q 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 its 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 socict.
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 citizens.
Insofar 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 those of on,
allies, Once enlisted and mustered
into servce, these units become part
of the army of the United States, and
there is of course no discrimination
by the Red Cross or the American
army against any loyal American citi
zen, No matter of what national
origin.
Our allies in Europe, however, have
requested the American state depart :
ment not to permit persons born III
enemy countries, or of parents born
in an enemy country. to travel as
civilians 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 Oi
Rcd Cross service may be exempted
from the operation of this rule, no
matter what the country of their
origin.
The Red Cross wants it clearly un
operation of every loyal American
and that it does not regard thai
loyalty is measured by the country o,
his origin.

MEATLESS DAY TO
BE HERE SHORTLY

Meatless days are now common in
most of the warning countries of Eu-
rope. 1t was first ruled in Germany
that the consumption of meat must be
reduced. and the meat cards followed,
which were issued for four or five
days In the week. and on those DAYS
when meat was permitted, the allow
ance was cut down to a minimum,
Monday and Tuesday arc now, meat
less days In France. England want its
meat consumption cut down and on
this side of the Atlantic the high cost
of living Is doing its share In that di :
rection. All OF which leads to the re-
Election that It wouldn't be SO bad to
try fasting for one or two days a week
or even longer. It can be done. Think
how much money we would save If we
could fast for 40 consecutive days, as
Or. Tanner OF New York did 81 years
ago. 1t was undertaken for scientific
purposes and his fast lasted from noon
OF June cS to noon Of August 7. 1880
DIR. Tanner went wholly without food
Of any kind. He drank very little wa
ter during this period. and no other
liquid whatever. When he began his
fast he weighed 1877 pounds: when he
ended his weight was III. His fast
over. DIR. Tanner disrroved the old
theory that hearty eating after long
abstinence was fatal by dining heartily
