Suggested Method Of Procedure.

zone of the most effective ways of
having the use of the emblem discon-
tinued promptly is to bring the matter
to the attention Of the United States
district attorney for the district in
which the chapter is located. and call
act that is being violated. If the dis
trict attorney desires any instructions
the Attorney General of the United
States will advise him of prosecutions
ed under this statute. and we are GER
tain that you will find the district at
torneys anxious to cooperate efficient
ly. A letter from the district attorney
In most cases will be sufficient without
the necessity of q warrant or indict-
ment. If any matters are referred by
your chapter to the district attorney
we would be glad II you would COM
municate with the division manager
and also with us. giving the details Of
the instances to which you have called
the district attorneys attention, and
then keep the division manager and
ourselves Informed il the use Of the
emblem Is discontinued and as to the
progress made by any district attorney
in the prosecution of any offender Too
much emphasis cannot be laid upon the
duty Of all associated with the Red
Cross to prevent the use of the emblem
OF the Red Cross or the words Red
Cross for commercial benefit and ad-
vantage.
Regarding the policy to be followed with
reference to proflt-sharing benefits at
tention is called to former circular letter
from national headquarters in which the
following general rules were cited:
"Ffrst-No offers should be accepted con-
templating division Of profits between
the promoters and the Red Cross This
rule applies to the manufacture and sale
of merchandise or articles OF any kind,
as well as to entertainments
"Second-No one should be permitted to
promote or advertise an entertainment or
like function MS Red Cross entertainment
or benefit unless 1t Is certain that the
management or control is entirely in the
hands Of the Red Cross chapter.
"Third-If, after due investiga ton. those
offering to conduct entertainments for the
benefit Of the Red Cross are found to be
entirely reliable and acting in good faith,
they may be permitted to make announce
ment in the press or otherwise Of their
intention to donate the proceeds of the
entertainment to the Red Cross. but the
entertainment should not be advertised as
Red Cross benefit or Red Cross enter
tainment. nor should any wording be used
public to believe that 1t Is being given
under the auspices OF the Red Cross or
that the Red Cross Is in any way con-
nected with or responsible for its man
agement.
"Fourth-In no instance should the use
OF the Red Cross emblem in announcing
or advertising an entertainment be au-
thorized except in the case of such enter
tainments as are actually managed and
controlled by the Red Cross chapter.
"It Is important that each Individual
case upon this subject should be decided
with tact and diplomacy by the chapter
head"

WITH THE ITALIAN NAVY OFF
THE CARSO FRONT. August 81 tde-
layed).-Here am on the extreme right
Of the great battle which is raging from
the English channel to the Adriatic.
For the first time the western allies
have attacked simultaneously. To ap-
preciate fully the great Italian effort
one must understand the terrible OBJ
stacles to be overcome by these val
orous troops. The Austrians were fully
prepared for the war when 1t began.
They had the Skoda artillery. perhaps
then the best in the world. and they
had fortified themselves in natural
mountain strongholds until they were
almost impregnable. For example. on
Mount Hermada the Austrians are not
only upon it, but within it. Here they
when a shot has been fired the cannon
disappears within the bowels Of the
mountain.
More Than 1000 Guns.
In this sector the Austrians have. per-
hans. more than I 900 guns. They are
determined to resist at all costs. since
Hermada is the gate to Trieste. The
Italians are slowly battering a passage
through this gate. In the course Of
the last five days Italian monitors. aid
ed by British monitors. have lombard
ed the sector extending from Mount
Hermada to the Adriatic. including the
railroad bridges and stations on the
shore Of the Gulf of Trieste. This COM
bined with the work Of shore batteries
cleverly concealed in the marshes, has
transformed Mount Hermada into an
active volcano. causing the hills to re-
echo the thunder and hiss Of projec-
tiles.
The Austrian ships have remained in
the ports while the enemy coast bat
teries have attempted a feeble reply.

One Exception Only.
Red Cross Not to Be commercialized

1.-THE statute prohibits the making OF use
OF any articles having on them the en-
blem Of the Greek red cross on a white
ground. whether these articles be but
tons. pencils. sticks, flags. pennants wear
ing apparel or any other thing. The en-
blem Of the Red Cross must not be COM
mercialized. Local chapters should not
order buttons or pins from other than
divisional offices or authorized Red Cross
agencies. Local chapters cannot permit
the use Of the emblem or the name Red
Cross in violation OF the statute. Ex-
perience has disclosed the fact that in
most cases where the emblem is used the
party offending against the statute is
ignorant Of the terms thereof. and that
when 1t is called to his attention the use
Of the emblem is discontinued. In some
instances. however, there is a disposition
on the part Of the user to gain time by
carrying on a discussion. in which he calls
attention to the fact that some business
concerns do use the Red Cross emblem
There are but very few business concerns
entitled to use the emblem by reason Of
the fact that they did in good faith use
the same prior to January 5. 1908.

Especial to The Times)

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 28.-Mrs.
Hazel Carter, 20-year-old bride,
who disguised herself as a soldier
and accompanied her husband.
Corporal John Carter, across the
Atlantic into France with Perish
ing's Best. is Douglas girl. And
Douglas Is proud of her!
When she comes home she'll be
met by a guard of honor and a
brass band. The folks are smiling
broadly over the clever way she
fooled army officers and got to
France as q comrade OF her hus-
band.
Mrs. Carter would like to stay
and fight by the side of her hus-
band, but Uncle Sam couldn't per-
NIT her to do that.
Now that she has been discov-
cred, 1t won't do any harm to tell
how she accomplished her feat.
Mrs. Carter's forebsars were all
fighters. II was only natural that
she should marry a fighting man.
As Hazel Blowser, she met Cor
poral Carter here year ago when
his regiment was stationed at
Camp Harrison ]. Jones. Later
on she becames Mrs. Carter.
Her grandfather, H. Clark, SO,
who lives here, is a veteran of the
Civil war and Indian campaigns,
with the scars of two wounds to
his credit.
He was Gin on the secret" and
jumped to his feet when told the
news.
~ knew she would do H."
said the old gentleman, eyes
beaming. "That girl sure has
grit. / wish she could stay
and fight the Germans. You
ought to have seen her I'm uni
form. She made q better
looking soldier that John, L
do believe. She can handle q
rifle better than most men.
They sure should have let her
stay"
She obtained a complete outfit
of army clothes, cut her hair
short, and began an earnest study
Of all the many things essential
for a soldier to know. She prac-
ticed faithfully and when the day
came she was ready in uniform,
olive drab shirt, trousers, leggins
and army shoes.
She saluted her grand
father and then slipped out of
town with her husband. On
the way to New York, accord
ing to word they sent back,
two or three friends of Cor
pOral Carter were told tho
secret and these soldier COM
rades of the husband became
her secret guard of honor On
the way over.
Mrs. Carter was born In the
Huachuca mountains, so miles
from Douglas, and as a girl estab-
lished a record at hunting. She
has killed many a deer, has fol-
lowed the hounds alone at night,
and proved that she wasn't afraid
of the biggest bear or mountain
lion that roamed the hills of her
HON ecountry. She also worked
in the fields with pillow and hoe.

"There-that's right. shall soor

Mr.. Wrinkle, STOPPING forward
was being assisted over the ice by
Mr.. Weller. in very singular and
un-swanlike manner, when Mr.
Pickwick most innocently shouted
from the opposite bank:
Sam! Here. I want YOU"
Let go, SIR" said Sam. Don't
you hear the governor a calm?
Let go, SIR"
With violent effort, Mr.. Weller
disengaged himself from the grasp
of the agonized Pickwickian and,
in so doing, administered a con-
siderable impetus to the unhappy
Mr.. Wrinkle. With an accuracy
which no degree of dexterity or
practice could have insured, that
unfortunate gentleman bore swiftly
down into the center of the crowd.
at the very moment when Mr.. Bob
Sawyer was performing a flourish
of unparalleled beauty. Mr.. Win
kle struck wildly against him, and
with a loud crash they both fell
heavily down. Mr.. Pickwick ran
to the spot. Bob Sawyer had risen
to his feet, but Mr.. Wrinkle was
far too wise to do anything of the
kind, in skates. He was seated on
the ice. making spasmodic efforts
to smile; but anguish was depicted
on every lineament of his counte-
nance.
Are your hurt!" inquired Mr.
Benjamin Allen, with great
anxiety.
Not much" said Mr.. Wrinkle.
rubbing his back very hard.
- II wish you'd let me bleed you."
said Mr.. BENJAMIN. with great
eagerness.
No. thank you," replied Mr..
Wrinkle hurriedly.
Il really think you had better"
said Allen.
Thank you" replied Mr.. Win
kle; I'D rather not"
What do you think, Mr.. Pick
wick?' inquired Bob Sawyer.
