INTERIOR OF RED CROSS HOSPITAL TENT.
milton or national standing. 1t first
impressed itself upon the notice Of the
country by its relief work at the Johns
town food In 1889. When the Spanish
war broke out 1t was still outside the
government and not organized or pre-
pared along military lines. In 1904
Miss Mabel II. Boardman became the
head Of 1t. Her interchangeable work
caused congress In 1905 TO give the Or
ganiZation a federal charter and desig-
nate it as the official relief organization
Of the United States Of America. 1t is
the only organization permitted to give
volunteer aid to the victims of war.
Other institutions seeking the work of
humanitarian service In time of war
must do 1t through the Red Cross.
The organization Is twofold In sew
eral particulars and therefore not
quickly understood by the public. 1t
Is both official and private In its char
acter-that is, the government has
adopted It officially as the auxiliary
war relief service. The president OF
the United States by law is also presi-
dent OF the Red Cross. The comptrol.
Ter of the currency is its treasurer.
Its accounts are audited by the war
department, and its annual reports are
addressed to congress.
Yet the government does not finance
the Red Cross. On occasions congress
has voted contributions of money to
1t. Congress helped to build the new
building. for instance. But the great
volume Of it's funds spent for relief
woik is contributed by private indi-
viduals. In times past most OF its
cash has come I'm the form of gifts,
less than 30 per cent of Its receipts be-
ing from membership fees. But with
the quickened interest I'm the Red
Cross the membership fees are becom-
Ing an important source Of revenue.
In time of war the Red Cross acts
as the auxiliary to the medical and
nursing services-the sanitary services,
as they are called-of the army and
navy. 1t Is a case OF the auxiliary be-
ing greater than The thing aided. Many
doubtless wonder why the army and
navy do not maintain, their own hos
pital services on an adequate scale.
The answer is that IL has been found
to be more efficient and less costly to
give this task over to the Red Cross.

Thousands Of these remained for days
In extreme agony, uncared for. Thou
sands Of them died for want OF care.
1t was one Of the supreme horrors of
all history.
1t happened that Swiss, Henri Du-
nant, went upon this battlefield and
saw these dying, neglected men. He
told about 1t so wildly that the nations
of the world decided that 1t was time
to take this atrocity out Of war. The
treaty Of Geneva In 1853 for the first
time provided for the immunity Of
medical and nursing services In battle,
and the sign Of that immunity was to
be a red cross. And from that author
ization has sprung the great interna-
tional order Of mercy-the Red Cross.
The United States did not adopt the
Geneva treaty until 1882. From then
until the year 1900 the Red Cross was

OWLS IN VICIOUS
ATTACKS ON WOMEN
Policemen and Firemsn Try In Vain TO

Winchester, va.-Citizens Of a num-
Der of Shenandoah valley towns have
been injured by warlike owls, thought
to be mother birds seeking their young,
which had either fallen. from their
nests or were trying to fly too soon
For some years large number Of
owls have had their homes In hollow

Shepherdstown. but this year they

ing the precincts of the church they
developed into quarrelsome rowdies.
and now every one who passes the
spot 10 armed with a club for protec-
ton.
A few nights ago a party of women
was boldly attacked by one OF the
birds. The owl few at Mrs. Edward
L. Reinhardt, scratched her face and
neck with its beak and talons and re-
turned for the second attack. Mrs.
Reinhardt was rescued by friends, who
beat of the owl.
The same night an owl attacked Mrs.
NJ. L. Harrington, and a little later one
OF the birds swooped down on Charles
Il. Walters, who fought off the bird
and fed in dismay. Similar trouble
has been experienced at Harrisonburg,
Va, where a number Of owls have
nests In tall trees surrounding the
home Of John T. Harris, a lawyer.
Mrs. Harris and several Of her
friends were set upon by the owls, and
others who were passing were also at
tackled. Policemen and firemen tried
In vain to catch the birds.

MILL DEFEATS SHELTER, ) TO2
IN FASTEST GAME YET PLAYED
In Spite of Two Home Runs in Second Frame by Hard
Hitting Smelterites Miers Prove Victorious

In the fastest game played thus far
this season, the Mill defeated the
Smelter Sunday afternon. May 18th,
with score of to 2. The Smelter, de-
feated by this narrow margin, made a
splendid showing, it is admitted by all
who witnessed the game. Leverett,
pitching fast and accurate ball, did not
allow the Mill a single hit until the
seventh inning, and for some time
Smelterites were inclined to bet on a
no-hit game for their side. However,
in the seventh, Mcdonnell, always there
with the willow, started the trouble for
the Smoke Team by a hit to center.
Burch, following, sacrificed, and sent
him to third. Westerzell next singled
to right, scoring Mcdonnell, and each
of the following innings saw one run
for the Mill, but a blank card for the
Smelter.
The outstanding feature, however,
was the fact that in the second inning
the Smelter knocked two home runs
a feat which thus far in the season is
unique buddy and McMurdo, both
powerful hitters, swung on the pill with
effect that it sailed over the fence in
grand style The two hts came so
close together that the audience sat up
and gasped, for it seemed that surely
the Smelter was coming into its own
at last And so it might have dom
after all, if Killilays error in the ninth
inning had not allowed Mcdonnell to
score. Upto that point it looked as
though the game was going to be sent
into the tenth inning, with another
chance for the Smelter to score. 1t
would seem, also, that Leverett made
a slight miscalculation, which helped to
his defeat. With Mcdonnell on second,
he walked Westerzell known as
heavy hitter 1t is hardly probable,
however, that he meant to walk Davis
also, as, with two Mill men already
down, it looked like a good chance to
inning. Davis was walked, however, in
put out the short stop and close the
spite of everything, and the bases filled
so that Guests single ended matters
Immediately after.

LITTLE BOBB|E
IS CLOSING IN
ON ORE BODY

Eighty five feet more and the Little
Bobbie will be in ore." That is the
confident belief, not only of Superin-
tendent Loehrs but of the men driving
the tunnel at this property, and of
President w. j. Graham as well. The
tunnel is now in 312 feet, and within
the next 80 feet, it is confidently ex-
pected, will have entered the big ore
body which it has already been proven
to the satisfaction of everybody, under
lies the entire hill.
Iron and Manganese are now being
taken from the tunnel, and there is
every indication that the bore is ap-
preaching the point where the ore body
will be encountered.
James Ovens, who is heavily inter
ested in the famous Denn-Arizona mine
in the Bisbee district, visited the Little
Bobbie this week and was so well
pleased over the showing there that he
is now enroute back to his present
home at Ann Arbor, Mich, for the
purpose of interesting his associates in
taking large block of Little Bobbie
stock.

HAYDEN, May 1S.-What many peo-
pie consider the decisive game of the
First Series was played between the
Mine and Mil! teams Wednesday, when
the Millers defeated the Mines to 4.
The Ray team came over prepared to
win, and, it is understood, were heavily
backed by their fellow -townsmen who
naturally are feeling rather blue over
the outcome, though all admit that it
was a very hard fought game
Delhi and Brandt led the opposing
sides until the sixth inning, when
Brandt was replaced by Johnson.
1t began to look good for the Millers
right from the start, when, in the first
frame they copied three runs, and,
Mclean being walked, was scored by
McDonnell's two-base hit. Burch hit
for three bases, scoring Mcdonnell, and
Westerzell got two bases, scoring
Burch. In the third and fifth innings
the Mine tied this score, but in the
fifth the Millers came through with
two more, and ended up by spraying
the home plate with three runs in the
eighth. From this blow the Mine boys
never recovered, and the game passed
into history as a clean gain for the
Millers-one that nearly cinches the
first series in their favor.
Both before and during the game,
the question of pitching was a para
mount one. When it became known
that Brandt was to be pitted against
Delhi, nearly everybody predicted
walkaway for the Miners. Brandt it
was rumored had wild arm, and
while speedy, could not be depended
upon to pass them over the plate.
This compared with Delhi's splendid
record, looked bad indeed for the
Millers. But when it actually came to
a showdown all predictions went wrong
right from the start. Brandt did lack
control at first, and walked number
Of men, but even SO the Miners could
do little or nothing with him, even with
the bases full When he was taken
out in the sixth he was still going
strong, and there seemed little enough
chance of his losing the game if he
stayed in.
Delhi, on the contrary was hit badly
and often. Only once, in the sixth,
when he struck out three men in sue
cession, did he give US a sample of the
wonderful pitching we were accus-
toned to. This inning showed a beau
tiful performance on his part, but it
was not duplicated.
