department was recently enlarged by
the organization of a life-saving
corps, employed in minimizing the
dangers from drowning, teaching the
best methods of saving drowning per-
sons, and the utilization of proven
tive measures against accidents at
sea, etc. The first-aid department
maintains two instruction cars on the
railroads of the United States, one
east and the other west of the Mis-
sissippi river, and instruction is
given to the employees by the physi-
clans in charge of each car. The an
nual death rate due to accidents on
railroads, in mines, and other indus
tries has been very great, and this
work is doing much toward mfnimiz-
ing the dangers.
Another important feature Is the
Red Cross nursing service, with
which the American Nurses Associa-
ton has been affiliated. This serv-
ice is now composed of national
committee, 36 state committees, and
SO local committees, on which total
of 600 nurses are serving without
pay, and 5000 nurses have been en-
rolled for service under the Red
Cross. Through this service another
great work is being carried on. This
consists in carrying into the homes
of the people better knowledge of
the principles of health and the pre-
vention and care of illness, through
the establishment of town and
country nursing service in which
classes for instruction are organized
in elementary hygiene and home caH8
of the sick even in the remote sec
tons of the country Another great
work is the Red Cross campaign
against the ravages of tuberculosis,
funds for which are raised by means
of the sale of the well-nown Christ
mas seals. Receipts from these sales
from 1908 to 1915 have aggregated
over SO, 295, 900, and practically all of
this amount has been used by local
branches for the study and proven
ton of this scourge.
Of the great work of the American
Red Cross in connection with the
European war it is not possible to
write adequately as yet. Never be-
fore has any organization of neu-
trail country rendered such long and
extensive service to other nations en-
gagged in war. In personnel it has
sent to the belligerent countries II
surgeons, 253 trained nurses, and 43
sanitary commissions, and in cash re-
mitted salaries, transportation, sup
plies, ETC., it spent $1460, 306 during
the first year of the war. Perhaps
its greatest work, however, consisted
in conquering the typhus epidemic in
Serbia and Montenegro, in which sue
cessful battle against disease two
heroic Red Cross surgeons gave their
lives for an alien people. Those were
DR.. ]. F. Donnely, of Brooklyn, and
DR.. Ernest P. Magruder, of Wash,
ington. For it's splendid services in
times of peace alone, however the
American Red Cross deserves the
support of the entire American peo-
pie.

TO ESTABLISH RED CROSS UNIT

On Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
at the quarters of Col. and Mrs. W.
c. Davis Of Fort Barrancas, the ladies
OF the service and all ladies from the
city who are interested in Red Cross
work, are asked to meet, at the invi-
tation of Mrs. Davis and Mrs.
Jayne, wife of Captain ]. IL. Jayne,
U. S. N, to formulate plans for a
Red Cross unit in Pensacola.
This is not a social meeting in any
sense, but a call to the patriotic
women, not only of both branches of
the service but of every part of the
city, to meet with Mrs. Davis and
Mrs. Jayne, in order that a Red
Cross unit may be formed here as
speedily and as efficiently as posi-
bic.
Through DR.. Alfred Toulon, u. s.
n, the government has requested
that such an association be formed
at once in Pensacola, that the women
may be prepared to lend their serv-
ices, at any time when they are
needed, and Mrs. Jayne, wife of the
commanding officer at the United
States aeronautic station, requests
that any who have had experience in
this work, will make a special effort
to be present.
1t is hoped to establish a Red
Cross unit at once, and all women of
the city are urged to attend the meet
ing on Monday afternoon, at Fort
Barrancas, thus giving evidence of
their patriotism and their willing
ness to serve their country if called
upon.
The original purpose of Red Cross
societies was to supplement the med
ical services of armies in times of
war, but the great need of a
thoroughly trained organization ma
tion-wide IN scope and permanent in
character to render assistance and
afford relief after great disasters in
times of peace became so manifest
that many of these societies have eS
tended their functions, and in no
country has this phase OF their work
been so Systematically developed and
perfected as in the United States.
Some Idea of the magnitude of the
work of the American Red Cross in
times of peace, from its re-incorpora-
tion in 1905 to Jrne, 1915, may be
had when it is stated that during
this ten-year period it conducted over
IS relief opel atoms following earth
quakes, volcanic eruptions, fires,
floods famines, mine explosions, AM
incidentally some wars in foreign
countries, and that the total amount
received and expended, including do
mated supplies, vas not less than
3,5o0.Oo0.
OF the various service departments
active in times of peace, perhaps
none is Of greater utility than the
first aid department. 1t is under the
direction of an officer of the medical
corps Of the United States army, ana
has a staff of physicians who are
available for detail as instructors in
mines, lumber camps telephone and

SHOWING
HIS COLORS.

It was just boys bicycle, show
ing age and hard usage, but from
the handle-bar there foated a small
American flag. AS the boy flashed
by, the little flag flung out its colors,
and to one who watched there came
quickening of the pulse, a feeling
of pride, not only for the Stars and
Stripes, but in the lad who Haunted
his colors so proudly, as he sped on
his way.
1t is a small thing. An American
flag fastened to the handle bar of a
shabby bicycle, but what it stands
for reaches to the stars, and is as
wide as eternity. Deep in the hearts
of every American citizen today there
glows the pride of country, the love
Of the land Of birth or Of adoption.
Pride in the colors, glory in the priv

WEATHER VERY CHILLY
FLORIDA FROST BITTEN

Been kipped

Florida has suffered greatly from
the cold this year, and local commits
sion houses have received informa-
tion that the temperature in Florida
last week was seventeen degrees
above zero, or fifteen degrees below
freezing, as freezing takes place at
thirty-two degees above.
This is one of the coldest waves
ever experienced by this sunny state
which supplies SO many of the lead
ing markets with fruit, and the conse-
quence is that oranges, grape fruit,
and other fruits have been frozen,
and the crop practically destroyed.
Eastern markets are heavy handlers
of Florida fruit, and that source of
supply being cut off they will natur-
ally turn to California, which will
tend to raise the price of fruit One

IUnited Press Disnatoh.l

Washington, February 14.-High
officials of the administration believe
that German agents have been busily
fomenting trouble in both Cuba ana
Mexico. 1t is believed that the gov
ernment of Germany thus seeks to
divert the attention of the American
government from the problem of the
seas, by being kept busy with the
neighboring troubles. 1t is believed
that German agents were responsible
for the recent action of the Car
rama government that resulted in
the threat of the British to land troops
at Tampico toA protect the oil wells,
from which British ships draw large
supplies of Oil.
1t is thought that the trouble in
Cuba may make American intervention
necessary, but nothing has yet hap
pened to necessitate such a step. 1t is
understood thai while the Mexican
American commission was meeting at
Atlantic City, German agent was
keeping in close touch with the COM
missioners, and getting all the infor-
nation that he could concerning the

Washington, February 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson is expected now to defer
his decision on the quuestion of fur

ships until he has decided whether to
go before congress and ask for addi-

American ships and lives.

change in the policy of government.

fastening the approach of the hour
when the president will again go be-
fore congress. The re-detention of,
twenty-five Americans brought on
prize ship Yarrowdale is regarded as
another acute indication of Germany's
disregard of American rights. If in
fact vigorous protest has not al
ready gone forward it will be sent
soon, unless Germany promptly re-
