no means confined its endeavors
alone to the work at headquarters,
but their efforts have also been d.
Irected to giving publicity to their
work, that it might send out its mes
sage to others, and draw to it those
who could lend to it their time, In
fluence or pecuniary aid.
Following her election as tempo
rary chairman Of the Pensacola chap
ter, Mrs. George A. Berry opened Of
fees at the San Carlos hotel, on the
first floor, just off Palafox street,
where access was convenient to those
who wished to enroll, and notices
were carried daily in the newspapers,
calling attention to the fact that she
was in the office at all times, to give
information and to receive enroll
ments.
About the middle Of February,
Field Agent Longfellow was sent
from Washington headquarters to
Pensacola, to teach live saving at the
navy yard and the army post.
Mrs. Berry requested him to make
his headquarters in her temporary Of
flee, displaying his pictures and
| equipment there, in order to attract
all possible attention to the efforts to
establish a Red Cross chap.ef, and
| this he did.
No occasion has been passed by to
carry home. the message of the Red
Cross work. At the army and navy
card party, held at Harbourview, the
home of Mrs. William II. Knowles,
Mrs. Berry talked of the work, and
urged those present to join, and both
/ she and Mr.. Longfellow talked at the
Isis theatre, through the kindness OF
! the manager, Mr.. ]. A. Jones.
] At the great mass meeting, which
4 was held at the tabernacle on the eve

| largely represented, number of the
members appearing in Red Cross cos.
tunes, Mrs. Berry giving a short adj
4 dress on the Red Cross which was re.
ceived with the greatest. enthusiasm
i On the afternoon and evening OF
March 26th, the Ways and Means
committee, of which Mrs. C.. S. Bon.
acker is chairman, had charge of the
Isis theatre, when one hundred anc
thirty-nine dollars was cleared fol
the Cross fund.
Before the evening performance
Mrs. Berry again spoke on the worl
of the Red Cross.
One of the most successful enter
tainments ever given in the city wa
the large charity ball, Of which Mrs
J. E. Turtle was chairman, six hun
bred dollars having been raised b,
this means.
But the financial returns of thes
efforts were by no means the mos
important gains.
The ball, which was attended b
hundreds, was introduced with wor
derfully beautiful pageants an
tableaux. The first of these repre-
sented Columbia in the centre wit
the allies grouped on either side, tn
second the army and the navy, an
the third the Red Gross, in whic
thirty-four members of the Pensacol
Red Cross chapter took part.

the Red Cross movement and each
day sees them busily at work over
the long table folding and cutting
and rolling. The women who are
bandage making call themselves the
Harriet Parsons James class and if
their ardor may be measured in yards
then the members Of this class are
certainly to be congratulated. Dur
ing the first week they used 1900
yards Of muslin and crinpline. Mrs.
r. C. Perky is secretary of this
class. One hundred and six women
enlisted the first day-April 10-for
the first aid work. These classes be-
gan on April IL and have the patron
age of the Miami Medical society
which sends its physicians and nur-
ses to take charge of the various
classes.
The building given over to the work
was formerly used as restaurant,
tables and chairs. A sewing machine
has been donated, electricity, water
and every necessity except actual
materials have been generously given
for the work. Everglades chapter,
Daughters of the American RevoluA
ton, have donated large flag which
hangs outside of the building.
Five hundred dollars is the largest
individual donation in money which
has come into the chapter, but the
chapter is doing its share in this re-
spect. On the afternoon of April 10
the Booklovers class of the Miami
Woman's club gave benefit tea for
the local work. At the tea Kirk Mum
roe; the author, addressed the gath
ering on Preparedness. Mrs. A. L
Monroe also spoke, giving a briet
history of the Red Cross work and
outlining the plans for the work as
carried on by the national divisions
of which the South Florida work is
of course a part.
| If permission comes back from Ed.
gar H. Wells at Washington. Their
the South Florida chapter will also
begin work among the colored popula
tion. Mrs. T. V. Moore is pushing
this work and it was Mrs. Moore too
who urged Mr.. Wells to see that there
was Red Cross representative tt

Orleans.

Miami is running 80 high that head
quarters for the Miami chapter work

The interview, as results announced

was growing belief this afternoon that
the federal trade commission will call
off its criminal prosecutions Instituted
in New York.

ant in the present instance. 1t was
said by officials today that they
would not be surprised II food pro

propositions similar to those made BY

officials pointed to the fact that only

examination.
On passing up the river the liner
was accom- panied by naval patrol
boats.
The Frederik VIII had good voy-
age, forty hours being required to
make the trip from her Hoboken
dock to the harbor here.
Few persons could be seen on her
dimly lighted decks as she entered
the harbor here. Her ports were
dark. The upper decks only were
alight.
Some curiosity in the arrival of
the ship was displayed. but there
was no excitement. Few gathered to
see the ship pass the city. Supreme
authority lies with naval officials
and a safe conduct having been
assured, the former ambassador ana
his suite were carefully guarded.

The Brook cherfth TODAY

Christian Herald: This desolation
doubly desolate is the gorge of the
Brook Cherith in the Jordan valley,
whose limestone cliffs hid the pro-
phet Elijah from the wrath Of Ahab.
Here the ravens fed the prophet
while the wicked king and the people
over whom he ruled suffered the
pangs of famine. The rain ceased,
the crops failed, the king ragged in
his impotence but the prophet, soil
tary and alone beside the dwindling
brook, had daily proof of the watch
full care of Jehovah whose word he
had obeyed. Then, when the brook
failed for lack Of rain, God led Elijah
to the home of the widow of cara
phath. The place is still desolate.
and you wonder what living thing
the Arab in the foreground can be
smiling at. The gorge is now called
the Waddy Kelt, and in a snug cor.
ner of the canyon walls nestles the
old Elijah convent, in which Greek
monks commemorate the long vigil
Of the prophet of Israel. Possibly in.
stead Of ravens. they are fed by tour
lists.

Complete New Treaty.

Complete New Treaty.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE Unit
ed States government considers Ger
many's treaty changes as suggested
to American Ambassador Gerard and
later sent here, as complete new
treaty.
The German contention that the sug-
gestions Germany made to Gerard and
which Gerard said he would not ac-
cede to II he had to stay in Berlin
until kingdom come" are merely rati-
fications and applications of the
treaty OF 1893, is Numerically opposed
to this governments view.
These facts were made plain today,
when shortly after the text of the Ger.
man communication was made public
the state department said the docu-
ment would have to go before the
senate" to be made binding. Mere
signature by government heads would
not suffice, 1t was stated. In other
words the paper would have to take
the usual course, prescribed by the
constitution, of all new treaties, II con.
sidered at all
1t was understood that Germany,
having failed to induce Gerard to ap-
prove to COMPLICATIONS" of the old
treaty of 1899, has forwarded 1t here
with the hope of having IT signed.
State department officials refused to
discuss the document,

ask for its approval Of declaration
OF war, as provided by the constitu-
ton. But members OF the house today
declared they think he would not want
to ask an expiring congress to declare
war that must be carried on in the
next congress.
The sixty-fourth congress ends at
noon, Sunday. March four. The house,
to meet March five, would have to or
ganize before it could do any work.
The senate. however, Is continuing
body and will be in session after
March four to confirm members OF the
new cabinet. Should President Will
son decide on March four to ask con-
gress to declare war, he would have
to keep the senate in session and give
members of the next congress- In the
house enough time to get to Wash
ington and organize before they vot-
ed on the question of declaring war.
Many members. 1t is thought, VIII oe

more than quorum would be mere
ct all times.
When the 1913 extra session was
called, President Wilson gave mem
bers more than month to organize
the house. The extra session began
about the middle of April. Each mem
Der is entitled to SUFFICIENT notice to
permit him to reach Washing ton.
While q fight on the speakershfp IS
certain in the next congress, members
believed that should an extra session
be called solely to declare war, SPEAK.
er Clark probably would be continued
in that position to avoid the sugges-
ton Of dissention in the country at
such moment
The fact that Secretary Grew OF
the American embassy in Berlin has
been ordered to Vienna to assist
Ambassador Penfield there. gave rise
to the belief here Grew might be
carrying confidential information to
Penf1eld, perhaps bearing on the
American-Austrian negotiations.
The state DEPART has heard
nothing directly from Penf1eld for
some days.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE American
government is listing all its citizens
in Germany. The move Is one t.
facilitate the exodus of such citizens
in the event OF war between Ger
many and America. The active gov
eminent agency is the Spanish am
bassador, who since departure Of
Ambassador Gerard, represents Unit
ed States interests. In close cooper
atom with the gathering of the
names and addresses OF Americans
in the empire, are the American
chamber of commerce and the United
Press.
Berlin is quiet today. American
business agencies found there was
no interruption to their work and
