put workingmen and farmers into

1t was said OF Kitchener that he

To mention one illustration OF
General Pershingss talent for organ

has just been made to bring all
American Red Cross activities under
the direction of the general and his
staff. The Red Cross people are de-

All day long General Pershing

headquarters he keeps everybody
busy till a late hour at the hotel.
Much interest was shown here
today in the publication OF the de
