RED CROSS needs FUND
Drive" for S1OO, 100000 Opens
Throughout Country
New York and Chicago Will Give AZ
Least $40 900, ooo-Every Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of S100,000,000 to enable the Red
Cross TO give the proper care to the
sick and wounded the homeless and
the desolate. when his men get into
the fighting in earnest. New York city
has promptly pledged itself to raise
one-fourth of whatever sum is needed,
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cago has been asked for something be
tween 100000 and $10,OOO,OOO, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
MIR. O. B. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director OF the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the cen
trail division, and has opened a drive
for the money in nine states.
The money is being raised by SUBJ
scription among the various chapters
and it has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fourth of what
ever sum il raises Mr.. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
500 900 900 over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross Is compelled to raise
it's fund from the people because II
has so small an endowment fund
less than $4,000, OOO-while Japan, for
instance, has more than $4,000 900 In
her fund, the income from which pays
all expenses.
The money is necessary to keep up
the supplies and equipment of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.

OUR RED CROSS is
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans who have been
helping the Red Cross have Of late
oeen making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
ty OF the Red Cross would constrain
L TO send food, medicines and hospi-
al units to Germany.
i want to give to help our boys,
and the stricken people of France and
Belgium and Serbia" many a one has
written in; "but | don't feel like doing
anything if the Germans get part of
It"
Americans need be under no appre-
hension. Not cent of Red Cross con-
tributions is going TO Germany, or has
gone there since the war was declared
by the United States. General Per-
shing is now in Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sans compliments in
the form of shells and American bay
onets, but the Red Cross has no part
in that except to care for such Of Gen.
eral Pershing's men as may need care.
The matter of sending Red Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
III bhC ittChl IACu OIOSS WAL
in Washington. Charles d. Norton,
one of the members. answered inquir-
les thus:
THE answer is exceedingly simple.
We do not purpose to be tried for trea-
son. We do not purpose to lend aid
and comfort to our enemies. We mean
to attend our own American Red Cross
affairs"
Former President Taft, who is chair
man of the executive committee, sup
ported this view. He said that when
wounded Germans fell into the hands
of the American Red Cross they will
get the same treatment as our own
men, but that IL would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Ger
many as we did before we were fore
ed into the war.
So Americans can give freely, know
ing that every cent is for our own and
our allies wounded, and not for the
enemy.

Red Cross Trench Work.

Red Cross surgeons and orderlies
give first aid to the wounded in little
underground dressing stations in the
front line trenches. In these dark, wet
places, cold and ill-ventilated, it is
sometimes necessary to perform major
operations-such as an amputation. for
instance. War records in France show
that as many Red Cross workers as in
fantrymen are killed by enemy fire in
the trenches. Red Cross field service
requires courage of the highest order.
Soldiers have the stimulation of fight
ing and giving the enemy shot for shot
and blow for blow. The others don't.

Give What You Can!

Whether it is one cent or one dollar or
one million dollars, your gift to the Red
Cross is wanted and you should want to
give it. If any one has a notion of letting
the millionaires do it," he is doing an in
justice to the whole cause Of mercy SYM
bolized in the Red Cross and an even
graver injustice to himself. To give to the
Red Cross is quite as much privilege as
it is an act of generosity. 1t is your
chance to partake to the best of your abil-
ity in the vast work Of saving the lives
and health of our champions at the front.
This is Red Cross Week. Give what you
can and all that you can before it ends.

Timely Action

The antics of the handful of women
picketing the White House could be borne
with good humor, as President Wilson
very sensiby has borne them, so long as
their appeals did not provoke disorder or
hamper the war-making business Of the
nation. Their Russian banner did both
these things. By displaying it they for
feited all claim to special consideration or
protection, and the action of the District
of Columbia in abating the nuisance was
timely and sensible.
Fortunately the fate of suffrage does
not rest upon the behavior of any small
group of women. The mass of suffragists,
like the mass of all sensible people, have
bitterly resented the tactics Of these mill
tants. This whole project, conducted at a
time like the present, savors Of disloyalty,
of a selfish, petty interference with the
nations vital concerns, which grossly mis-
represents the women of America.
At present the women Of New York, un-
der suffrage leadership, are doing great
volunteer labor for their state in the TAX
ing of the census Their work is typical
of the splendid response which our women
have everywhere made to their country S

Murder Sentences in Italy

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In Tuesdays Tribune, in an article
on "Cocchi's Indictment" read with great
amazement statement which you report was
made By District Attorney Swami.
Mr.. Swami claims that ltaly's average SEN
tence for murder in the first degree is three
months imprisonment.
Has any one ever uttered anything more
absurd?
Does Mr. Swami think himself we'll ac-
quainted with Italy's laws when he speaks
lightly and so inconsiderately of her judiciary
department, which is based on the finest and
highest principles of humanity?
Has Mr.. Swami never heard that Italy sem
tences men guilty of murder in the first de-
gree to life imprisonment and TO terms of
twenty years and over?
What makes the District Attorney believe
that Italy lacks pure sense of jutce for
that is exactly what his statement implies
The fact that Italy is civilized enough to
repudiate capital punishment should impress
Mr.. Swami that she knows how to deal ac-
cordngly with criminals of any degree.

Millers pay market price for wheat. which
has been over cents a pound making over

more, you have sll.5O for your -four But
only 20 per cent is the -four every one uses

so -four has to bring SIS to net cost to miller.

Let In the ''Bantams"

There is much good sense in the recon-
nendation of committee of the National
Research Council that the governments
enlistment requirements as to height and
weight be modified. The minimum height
now for enlistment in any branch of the
service, land or sea, is feet inches, the
minimum weight 1913 pounds. This height
requirement is two inches greater than
was Great Britain's at the beginning Of
the war. That has now been reduced, and
.he British army numbers "bantams"
among it's bravest and most efficient
fighters.
II is proposed that the height require
ment for our service be feet l inch
and the minimum weight for passage Of
examination 120 pounds. This would give
the small men a chance 20 serve and would
be official recognition Of the fact, we'll
tstsblishe1 by experience, that, other

things being equal, the small, well-knit
man makes better soldier than the man
Of huge body. The National Research
Council points out that the present regu-
lations may deprive the government OF the
service of many recruits, particularly
those of foreign stock, for many nationail-
ties well represented here, including "ltal-
ians, Greeks, French, Swiss, many OF the
Slavs, the Magyars. Russian and Austrian
Jews, Lithuanians," average in height
among the males only a few tenths OF an
inch over the present minimum require
ment. "Should the present minimum IN
stature for the United States army and
navy be adhered to- says the Council,
"from two-ffths to one-haf of the men
belonging to or descending from the ma
tionalties mentioned would be excluded
by the rule"
The present restrictions-thati is what
they amount to-were established when
the government maintained only small
land and sea forces and could afford to
reject any but strapping, fine physical
specimens. That time is now past. A
couple of extra inches in a mans height
won't enable him to fight better, if his
health and strength are adequate. Sol
diers are not to be chosen now for parade
appearance but for the grim duties of war,
and the seective draft will take them
by the half-million.
Under those circumstances the govern
ment cannot afford to quibbe about their
heght-to maintain a standard higher
than that of our allies. If it does it may
easily be in the position of Great Britain,
which had to go back after those once
rejected by ultra-particuar recruiting
officers.
