telegram reads, insofar as such
statements and questions are merely
efforts ~ obtain information they
should be earnestly and sincerely
met but many of the stories, utterly
unwarranted in fact emanate simulJan-
eOusIy from too many different parts
of the country to be merely accidental.
Suggest you advise I'll chapters to
tell all workers Officially and advise
local press and every one with whom
they come in contact 81 the character
of the movement which IS on foot and
ask mem bers and public generally 10
proceed on the theory That nothing
against Red cross should be believed
until investigation
Very important that division
Headquarters and each local chapter
be made 10 understand that Teputa-
tion and standing Of the Red Cross
locally is in hands of local officers and
interested workers and members, and
that every criticism or inuuendo
against Red Cross should be immed
lately challenged and followed up The
Red Cross is being run as an open
book. it has no secrets it is making
q sincere effort to aerFe mankind, and
is doing it as carefully and econom-
fCalIy as il knows how

Notable Change in Policy.

Secretary Lansing's note to the Cubans, to
the effect that the United States will recognize
no government founded on revolt, indicates
rather notable change in policy. President Will
son has often stated his purpose to allow Mexi-
cans TO settle their own affairs in their own way;
why not extend that permission to the Cubansl
He declined to recognize Huerta, although CIV
ing official standing to Peruvian who gained the
presidential chair by revolt, and later turned an
approving countenance to Carranza, whose only
claim rested on armed opposition to Huerta If
the present disturbance m Cuba should grow, as
II easily may, to involve the island, and the rebels
be finally victorious, will we then call it "revo-
luton" and face about on the notice just served
concerning recognition For the matter of that,
the United States has dealt with many govern
nent founded on revolt, and will so deal in the
future, and we have no right to undertake to de-
termine the internal affairs Of another inde-
pendent people by sending such notes as the one
just dispatched to Havana.

Fogging the issues,

Foreign Secretary Zimmerman of the German
imperial cabinet makes considerable complaint
that news sent to and from Germany is garbled
by the British censor, On this plea he supports
the action Of the German authorities in detain-
ing Ambassador Gerard and other Americans;
alleging that dispatches published in Germany
gave the impression that the United States was
holding Bernstorff and other Germans and had
conhscated German property, Even in diplo-
macy two wrongs do not make right While
unreliable or incorrect information may have
been published as press news, the German gov
eminent surely should have had accurate infor-
nation for its guidance. Reuters does not trans
nit the official communications between nations
Berlin might have relied on the word il had di-
rect from Washington, and might also have given
to its own newspapers correct account OF what
occurred. In this way any aggravation of the
unpeasantness might have been avoided. Dr..
Zimmerman's note only serves to fog the issue.
