The American Red Cross

sssO ssOssOoAss wv
Each nation has it's own Red
Cross society, usually with de-
gree of governmental supervision.
In the United States the Presi-
dent Of the Republic is also the
President of the Red Cross. It
is the only organization au-
thorized by the United States
government to care for the human
wastage of the battlefield, out
side Of the medical corps Of the
military services. Each nation s
society is independent, but there
is an international Red Cross
Committee with headquarters in
Geneva which acts as a clearing
house between the societies.
The American organization is
chartered by Congress and it's ex-
ecutive officers include members
OF the Cabinet and officers of the
Army and Navy. The American
Red Cross, more than any other
national organization, has ex-
tended the scope Of its activities
until it now is the recognized
agency for relief, for mercy, for
the alienation of all human suf-
fering no matter how caused.
In time of peace the American
Red Cross has an important task.
1t was present at San Francisco,
after the Dayton food, the
Omaha tornado, the Galveston
disaster and every scene of suf-
fering, however large or small,
that the world has known in re-
cent years.
In time of war it's work be-
comes magnifed in Importance a
thousandfold. It's place could not
be occupied by any other organi-
cation. 1t is a public service and
should not be classed as charity.
1t Is a sort of national accident
insurance; a civil public service
that furnishes a place for every
individual, whatever his or her
military qualifications, to do in
valuable service to the nation,
and for the nations fighting
men.
The development of the Red
cross as the medical arm of the
United States at war is prefer
able to governmental control.
since In time of peace the Red
Cross organization becomes mac
tive and ceases to be drain upon
the nation S resources. The char
acter OF its organization enables
IL TO work more directly, and
with far less waste than anv
government agency could.
The American Red Cross is al
ways first to succor. It's minis
tratlons are directed by skilled
executives who know the need of
the moment and are skilled in ap-
plying it. It's machinery is al
ways ready and always oiled and
is set In motion without any
hltching, delay or misdirected
energy that so often characterizes
the efforts of volunteer or hastily
constructed relief committees.
The high standing of the men
and women who are at its head
the cooperation of the govern
ment and the fact that it's Fl.
nances, are subject to the audit OF
the United States Treasury De-
partment have won for the Amer.
lean Red Cross the confidence of
the world. It can carry on it's
work OF mercy with a freedom
and dispatch that no other agency
could approach.

STRAW SHOULD BE SPREAD.

The feeding value of straw being
comparatively low, and the fertilizing
value being high, all straw should be
spread upon the fields and not burned
or wasted. The use of straw to pre-
vent winter-killing of wheat is now
well established.

EXPENSIVE PASTURE.

National Crop Improvement Service1
When you stop to consider that an
acre of pasture will feed cow, but
that that same acre will raise ten tons
of silage during the time the cow is
feeding on it, it would seem that
grass cafeteria would be the most ex-
pensive way to feed your stock.

Starchy feeds like corn and oats
often sell as high as protein feeds be-
cause of the demand for them for
horses and other work animals.
Starchy feeds are also good to fatten
steers. That is why they are often as
high in price as dairy feeds, which are
strong in protein.

Ordinarily, silage will correct the
tendency to costiveness. When it is
not sufficiently effective for this pur-
pose, add enough old process oil meal
to keep the droppings moderately
soft, but not necessarily loose. Usu-
ally all that is needed is to increase
the allowance of concentrates.

Homegrown grains can often be prof.

oats are generally demanded for horse
feed, they are nearly always too ex-
pensive for dairy feed. Oats by-prod.

NAVY TRAINING CAMP
Al GULFPORT, MISS.
Washington Bureau,
The PenRacoIa Journal,

Washington, June 1.-The navy
department has practically decided to
accept Gulfport's offer to extend to
the government the use of the Missis-
suppl Centennial fair grounds for the
establishment of a station for train
ing raw recruits for the navy, it was
learned here tonight upon reliable
authority. The navy department has
been examining sites offered at Pen
sacola, New Orleans, Gulfport and
other points on the gulf at which to
train about 5000 naval recruits. A
prominent delegation from Gulfport
came to Washington about month
ago and offered the government the
use of the buildings at the Missis-
sippi fair grounds, it having been
decided to postpone the proposed CEN
tennial celebration until after the
war. Formal announcement by the
navy department confirming these
conclusions is expected within the
next few days.

CEN. PERSHING
.FETED IN PARIS
WELCOME ACCORDED AMER
ICAN ARMY HEAD EQUALLED
THAT EXTENDED TO THE
KING OF ENGLAND.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, June 14.-The first day spent
in Paris by Major General John j.
Pershing was continuous succession
of enthusiastic popular demonstra-
tions. Great throngs filled the Palace
de la Concorde early in the day, hop
ing to catch a glimpse of the Amer
lean. Everywhere the French and
American colors were intertwined.
One of the first events today was
a visit to the hotel Des InvaIides
wherein is the historic monument
containing Napoleon's body. In the
court of honor, General Pershing
passed a great collection of war rel
les. After a brief ceremony at the
Invalides, General Pershing made a
formal call on Ambassador Sharp
and was then escorted with military
hOnors to the palace of the Elysee to
be presented to President Poincare.
At 1890 o'clock the President arr
Madame Poincare gave a state break
fast in honor of the American COM
mander This afternoon NJ. Viviani
addressed the chamber of deputies on
results of the French missions visit
to the United States.
Paris, and particularly the French
authorities, had planned and hoped
for great reception, but it is doubt
full whether even the most optimistic
pictured the almost frantic crowds
that all but blocked the progress of
the automobiles. Men and women
cheered themselves hoarse ard flung
masses of flowers into the cars. Pa
risians declare that the only event in
their life time that apprOXimates the
enthusiasm was that accorded to
King George of England in 1914.
When the special train reached the
station, General Pershing and Field
rIarshal Joffre were the first to APP
pear. Behind them came a stream
of American officers, each with a
French officer as his host. The first
shout of welcome became a continu-
Gus roar that seemed to shake the
station to it's foundations. The police
hurriedly began to clear a lane down
which a half dozen automobiles NOV
ed at a snails pace between frantic
throngs
From hundreds of windows Amer
lean flags were waved by men, wom-
en-, and children. French girls, with
flags pinned to their breasts and their
arms filled with flowers, bought fcom
their scanty savings, fairly fought for
a chance to get near enough to the
machines to hurl their offerings into
the laps and on the shoulders of the
astonished American officers.
The Americans apparently had not
imagined the heights to which Pa
risian enthusiasm could rise. Boys,
men and girls and even old women
struggled to jump on the running
board of General Pershing's car to
shake hands with him.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE
rumor that has been widely circulated
IN the southern states and which has
caused considerable uneasiness in
some quarters there to the effect that
the war department intends to ex-

military service and take the white
men, received nromut denial TO-DAY
from Secretary of War Baker.
The attention of the secretary of
war was called by Senator Park
Trammell of Florida to a letter re-

newspaper clipping in which it was

The German line in Belgium is

day in the announcement by London
of a German retreat on front of
approximately two miles in the area
southwest of Warneton.
After wiping out the Messines-
Wytschaete salient in the crushing
attack last week, General Plumer
continued attacking the Germans
from time to time east of Messines
and gained additional ground there.
Further south the British also have
eXerted pressure upon General Won
Arnim's lines.
Having lost the last of the COM
handing artillery and observation
positions in this region, when the
Messines ridge fell into British
hands, the Germans are finding the
pressure at some points beyond their
ability to meet. One of the first re-
suits has been the abandonment of
important sections of their first line
between the river Lys and St. Ives.
General Hair announces that the
British are following the Germans
closely and are moving forward east
of Ploegsteert wood and IN the

LIBERTY WORK
HERE IS GREAT.
$500 BONDS SOLD HERE, ONE
FOR EVERY FIVE WHITE MEN
PATRIOTISM Is ASTOUNDING,
SAYS MITCHELL.

Il am absolutely at a loss what to
say" said r. F. Mitchell, chairman of
the Liberty Loan Committee, when
asked for a statement last night.
The cooperation I and the various
other members Of the committe-,
with whom have been privileged to
serve, received has been wonderful,
astonishing. 1t is impossible to
name any one mans work without
naming all, for all are equally de-
serving. l mean that literally-not
in the empty rhetorical sense that
usually Characterizes the expression.
"When you reflect that Pensacola
over-subscribed its quota by over two
hundred thousand dollars, that $500
bonds were sold here, or one for
every 25 inhabitants, white or black,
or one for every fifth white man in
the city, it needs no comment from
me or anyone else to point out the
tremendous response of Pensacola to
the call of patriotism. The principal
subscribers here were the men OF
little means, to whom the purchase
meant a definite sacrifice. They
weren't thinking of the three and a
half per cent interest-the rich peO-
pie who subscribed weren't either
they were thinking of the govern
ment and its battle for liberty, they
were willing to deny themselves in
order to feel that they too had part
in the fight.
Another thinga most of these
bonds are taken by people who nevsl
saw bond before, don't know what
coupon is, don't really understand
how money can earn money. The
education in thrift will be worth
much to them in after life.
"The last three weeks have beer
full of revelations. Hardly a day
passed but that some act of devotion
or sacrifice came to our attention.
"When the press carried reports
of doubtful success of this issue ou1
committee has always said it would
take up it's share of this loan and
! if necessary some of the other fell
lows, and our beliefs have been more
than justified.
eve cannot fail to commend the
BUYERS of small bonds that where
! purchase was made at the sacrifice
of something your act was the act OF
an American, was true patriotism.
"The success of the Liberty loan iir
our community has never been in
doubt from the time of its call unit
tonight when our work is finished.
"The committee has received sc
MANY kindnesses and so much assist
ance from so many that it's impos
sible tc begin to make Individual
