NOT A CENT OF PAY
FOR RED CROSS WORK!

~ might perhaps have been expect
ed in 4 big, patriotic campaign Of this
kind, ncN auti-Rcd Cross propaganda
is appearing. The latest is the fabri-
promoting the local campaign arc re
ceiving salaries for their work.
In answer to this Justification, Chair
man Guy +. Gannett says, NO work
crs is this campaign are receiving one
cent for their services. This can not
be made too strong. Not single
worker gets one single cent, from Cam
laign Manager punnack down to the
smallest y. NJ. &. A. boy who tackled

organization in the Augusta district
not one person receives any salary Of
any sort at any time save the stenog-
rapher at Red Cross Headquarters at
the Post cnicc building and this
stenographer has taken No active part
in the membership campaign. After
dcducting the trifing cost of printed
matter, every single cent collected in
this campaign will go into the Red
Cross treasury"
Not satisfied with denying this false
hood, tho local Red Cross j. taking
steps 70 find. if possible, the person
who originated it, because such a dis
covery might lead to the headquarters
of local prof. German propaganda. This
story was reported by q Red Cross
member and was told her by woman
who also told her the vicious and false
yarn that Red Cross sweaters were
sold at department stores. The two
seem TO go together and perhaps got
into local CIRCULATION from the same
source, From this time forward all
stories Of this character will ho rigidly
traced to their source and if definite
data can be secured it will he turned
over to the Attorney Generals office

Spanish Cabinets
Resignation Handed
To King by Premier
Prieto Recently Admitted In
ability to Handle Coun-
try's Problems

Madrid. June . via London, June
10 1913 a. m1.-Narquis Manuel Gar
cia Prieto has rendered to the King the
resignation of the Cabinet.
The Spanish government has recent
lv bcen confronted with both military
and economic difficulties There has
been discomfort among the army OIL
GERS, who desire a betterment of their
conditions. and there has been much
unrest among the workmen, with
threats Of a general strike. Sinking o.
Spanish vessels By German submarines
has caused popular restlessness. Pre-
micr Prieto virtually confessed himself
unable to bring about the necessary
transformation until the problems
sh ,uld be taken under complete discus
sion by Parliament.
The Council of Ministers met late to-
day. and, it is believed. one of the chief
matters of discussion was concerning
the convocation Of Parliament. Should
the council decline TO order the conVo-
cation. as urged by the Premier, 1t Is
believed the crisis will be acute.
A recent Madrid dispatch said that
if Premier Prieto resigned the only
alternative would be combination
headed by the Duke Of Alba. The pres
ent Cabinet was formed April 10 of
this wear.
