WHAT THE RED CROSS
 WELDON WAR FRONT
You Who Have Sons and Dear Ones Should Help
 Support This Great Organization.

(By John B. Miller who was ap- pointed by President Wilson to take charge of the American Red Cross War Fund in the territory west of the Mississippi.
 If you are a real American you must contribute to the War Fund of the Red Cross during the week of June IS to 25, whether you believe your self able or not If you are a real American it is not question of giving from your surplus-you must give and keep on giving until you can give no more, and, even after that, you must keep on.
 We are at war, but we do not re- alize what war is, and, if the Red Cross is able to do it's full duty, we will never know what war can be.
 Do you know what the Red Cross does? Some day, Somewhere in France" when our soldiers are in the trenches, a line of American boys will leap over the top of their trenches, slip through the barbed wire, and, in face of high explosive shells, gas, li- qhid fire, shrapnel, grenades, machine gun and rifle fire, face the barbed wire in front of enemy trenches for the bare chance ol meeting bayonet with bayonet, other boys no more to blame for this war than they are.
 You know what the loss will be. You know that after Ypres the Prin- cess Pats had only 127 men alive out of the 689 that saw the sun come up that day.
 What of the fallen? If the Red Cross is ready, the Ambulance Corps of the fighting regiments will carry the wounded back through the com municating trenches to the dressing station. Here Red Cross surgeons, un- der the direct control of the United States medical department, will give first aid. The wounded will be turned over to Red Cross ambulances, and carried back to the Red Cross field hospital for immediate attention. From the Red Cross field hospital, Red Cross ambulances, Red Cross trains and, in France, even Red Cross canal boats, will carry the men back to the Red Cross base hospitals. If the wound is not fatal a Red Cross convalescing station will take care of the soldier till he is ready to go back to the front. If the man is disabled

NEEDLES REPORTED FLOODED;
 MANY FAMILIES ARE HOMELESS
Northeast Part of Town Under Water From Six Inches to Two Feet Deep River Points Report Flood Stage and Cottonwood Island Is Inundated.

NEEDLES, Cal, June 16-(Spe- ciaD.-The northeastern part of the city tonight was under water and 35 families of Mexicans and negroes in the lower sections were homeless.

plished all this that the British bar rage was placed behind the German positions in order to cut off any pos sible relief or immediate counter at tack from that direction. There were only two British casualties, and on ac- count of the surrenders comparatively few German. Two enemy machine guns captured had not fired a single round during the attack.
 One party of German officers at breakfast in dugout refused to take seriously the sudden appearance of the British 'Tommies" at the entrance to their underground dingingroom, and their demand of surrender, and made for rifles and pistols. A hand grenade tossed among them closed the incl dent.

a Red Cross steamer will bring him back to America, and the Red Cross receiving station here will care for him, send him home and on top of that look after his family after he is wounded just as it will have looked after his family all the time he has been away.
 Do you know what this means? In the old days before the Red Cross came, 600 soldiers died out of every 1000 wounded. Today under proper conditions the percentage is not over 5 per cent.
 If your boy was wounded every dol lar you have in the world would gc willingly to put him in Red Cross hands.
 The Red Cross is not a hit or miss organization, grabbing a dollar here and a dollar there and wasting the money. It is one Of the. five offensive and defensive arms of every civilized government on the face of the earth.
 Every dollar that comes in is spent by the best business men in America for supplies and materials designated by the medical department of the United States army-the department that has stamped out yellow fever as we'll as other great national scourges.
 Ex-President Taft is the chairman of the Red Cross. A partner in the house of Morgan is its financial chief. Its accounts are audited by the war department. Its existence and opera tions are directed under special acts of congress, and President Wilson himself, by executive order, establish ed the executive committee under which the Red Cross is now being managed.
 The Red Cross is therefore a part of the fighting forces of the govern ment and must be supported as such. This support will be easy enough to ! get-when that support is too late. | Let the toll of one battle mOunt-as it often does-to 25,O00 men or more! With the hospitals overcrowded and our own men dying for want of at- tention, the response to the Red Cross call will roll in fast enough-but then it will be too late.
 Don't you be one of those to hold back until that time. Don't be a stacker. You inevitably will contri- bute. Why not now?

Harbor Board Does Not Agree
With Forbes on Project
He is Forwarding

Harbor commissioners do not agree
with their chairman, Charles r.
Forbes. as TO the needs 0f an amhse-
ment pier at the foot Of Fort street
it was learned today, and as a result
the plans announced by that official
some months ago are likely to be
thrown into the discard.
Forbes proposed plan had TO do
with the. construction Of a big audi
torium and dance hall. about which
various concessions would lease space,
the whole to form a big amusement
center for the city.
About the only amusement portion
that the commission favors, 1t was
said today, is a gallery on the outer
side of the second story from which
townspeople may watch arriving or de-
parting friends. This portion can also
be fitted with bleachers when swim
ming meets are held, as can lie the
lower floor also.
1t is the intention Of the board to
place in the second story proper, gov
ernment offices from time to time Is
the needs for them arise. bat the idea
of an amusement pier there does not
set well.

Federal Bench
Prediction Now

A mainlanGer is likely to be chosen
to succeed Charles F. Clemons on the
federal bench Private adyices- from
Washington received by the Star.
Bulletin today say that "the probabili.
ties are for mainland man in the
FEDERAL jHlgestlip. The authority for
this tip also foretold the appointment
OF James l.. Coke TO the supreme
bench, so Ii looks as If the information
comes pretty straight. =. 7
Judge Clemons left the bench today,
his resignation taking effect.
The Portland Oregonian recently
printed despatch from the state cap,
ital that w. NJ. Ramsey, ex-justice OF
the Oregon supreme court, is a, can
didate for the Clemons vacancy. Ram
sey is a Democrat, was appointed to
the state bench by the governor, but
failed of returning when he came up
for election in November.
3 Western congressman are appar-
emily welding much influence at
Washington in securing appointments
now. Coke had the strong backing Of
Oregon congressman and it has been
matter Of surprised comment how
rapidly his appointment and confirma'
ton as supreme court justice followed
appointment to the circuit bench. A
new record was set in that regard, and
it is conjectured here that if as pow
erful friends are behind the Ramsey
candidacy as were aiding Coke, the
Oregcnian is likely to be named.

AVIATION BASE
Earl Remington, President of
California Flyer, Talks of
Society'S Work ?

Hawaii as the outpost Of the Pacific
is destined to become great aviation
base, in the opinion of Earl Reming-
ton, president of the Aeronautical So
ciety of California, who, with Mrs.
Remington, is in the city.
Remington, who draws his cGnclu-
sicns from the recent appointment of
army men to head aviation work,
from the general trend for aviation
preparedness over the country and
from the strategic location. Of tht
iSlands, was one of the early flyers
of a decade or go ago and has never
forgotten the fascination the art car

ing camp was started. at Monterey,
he said, "our society got behind the
army Officers to boost aviation and
as a result picked out a group of SO
men for aerial training. That the war
department is in earnest about de-
veloping this side of the service is
shown that IL of those men were
taken over by the army and are now
studying in flying schools"
Remington believes that there is a
big opportunity for civilians here to
enter the aviation department Of the
reserve corps. He says it is to be
remembered that the men in a squad
ron who do not fly outnumber those
who do-that there is need of me-
-ehanics and constructing engineers as
we'll as pilots,
f"California started work of this
kind" he says Hawaii ought to
consider what she could do in this
line. This summer we plan to take
our men of last years camp and give
them, another season of training at
North Island.
81 have not studied the atmosphere
of the island as to medium for fly
ing" continues the former aviator,
"but am told the wind on the other
side is strong but steady, and that Is
a good thing"
Remington sent five old machines
to the training camp last summer and
they did good work One was smashed
entirely and had to be burned. This
was an old racer that held the speed
record for two years.
