OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY Baker.

plies for the armies at home and ove
seas and the military relations be.
tween the armies in the field and the
department is announced by Secretary

tary Of War Crowell, Major General

THE purpose of the council is to
oversee and coordinate all matters of

itary relations between the armies in
the field and the War department. The

APPEAL FOR RED CROSS
Issued by Harry P. Dawson,
Chairman of War Council.
Organization Representative
of Entire People.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Henry P. Da.
wilson, chairman of the war council of
the American Red Cross has issued
this call on the W of a great Christ.
mas membership campaign of the or.
g%anization: z
ITO the 5000, 900 members working
loyalty with us today-stand by the
colors."
ITO the ten or fifteen million mem.
bers who will join us before Christ
mas eve-fall in"
Mr.. Dawson, who vas called upon
by President Wilson to serve the Red
Cross after the country went to war,
told in his statement something OF
what he had learned about the organ
ization and of it's wonderful expan-
sion to meet war conditions.
Is Modern Miracle.
To-day the American Red Cross is
one of the modern miracles" he said.
"It has accomplished the impossible
in its national organization with vol
unteer workers; in the Junior Red
Cross for children; in its chapter ad-
mlnlstration covering the whole OF
the United States map. It has mobo-
lized America for action in the world
emergency. 1t stands behind the
American army and navy with sup
plies and with personnel for every
call which they may make upon it.
1t works with President Wilson's ap-
prevail in the task of preparing our
people for mutual service to those
among us who may suffer because of
changes which the war has brought.
"If the Red Cross is not as demo-
cratic as you would like to make it,
that is probably because you are on
the outside looking in. My expert
ence is that no one has the right to
| criticize who is not in the work up to
his neck. I believe we shall obtain
a membership Of 10000, 900, in which
all social lines are flung to the winds
and an organization representative of
the entire people will be created"

A Berlin pastor is quoted as say.
Ing that it is the divinely appointed
mission of Germany to cruelty human
lty for its W good. This declaration
which is strictly In line with Ger
mar performances-ought to remove
the last doubt, if, indeed, any existed,
that kultur has run mad, and that what
Germany i%mperatively needs is a strait
jacket for Pr%ussianism if any civiliza-
ton is to survive the war.

Severe Arrangement of
Naval Battle AccOun t

Washington, D. c., July 1.-The
severest arraignment that the COM
mittee on public information has re-
ceNCed at the hands of congress was
delivered in the house of representa-
tives on Wednesday by Congressman
Joseph Walsh of Massachusetts who
soothingly criticized George Creels
story of the fight of the American
warships with the German submarines
published broadcast throughout the
country on the morning of the Fourth
of July.
The Massachusetts mans remarks

legged spectacular sea fight, Mr..
Walsh said:
This announcement by the bureau
on public information, which was
worthy of a chronicler of Captain
Kidd, came from a bureau which pre-
sumably was to have been the official
censor of the nation had not congress
eliminated the censorship section
from the espionage bill" said Mr..
Walsh.
"And when the gentleman who is
in charge of this bureau of informa-
ton established upon somewhat hay
authority, as l view it. was asked 20
give the official news, he stated that
if he did that it might disclose tae
latitude and longitude of the ships.

cause them unnecessary apprehension
and terror, and cause discomfort and
anger when the truth becomes known.
What the people would now like
to know is whether there was an at
tack, or attacks; and if so, what hap
pened?
CAS- a matter Of fact, as I under
stand it, the Associated Press had n
correspondent accompanying our
troops, and he sent dispatches to this
country announcing the safe and I'M
eventful voyage of our troops; he, at
least, was not aroused by heavy gun
fire and the uproar Of battle; and on
July he sent a second dispatch stat
ing there had been no attack.
Later Associated Press dispatches
which had passed the censor of our
forces in France were received here,
but were intercepted and not deliv-
cred until they were taken to one of
the departments. and there inspected
and possibly do not know-censor-
ed. Possibly because they did not
correspond to the highly tinged az
count which had been published and
bore the approval of Secretary Dan
iels, they we're withheld from the
press association.
"The American press has set high
standard of patriotism" said Mr..
Walsh in conclusion. Il believe the
