RED CROSS NEEDSFUND
FDrive" for 100000, 900 Opens
Throughout Country.
New York and Chicago Will Give at
Least $4,000, ,o00-Every Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund Of $1OO,OOO,OOO 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
pne-fourth Of whatever sum is needed"
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cago will be asked for something be-
tween $5,O0OOOO and $10,O0O,O00, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. o. B. Towne has been appointed
bv Washington as director of the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the CEN
trail division, and will open a drive
for the money in nine states as soon
ms it has been determined just how
much he needs.
The money will be raised by sub
scription among the various chapters,
mud it has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fourth Of what
ever sum it raises. Mr.. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization it's full
SlOO,OOO,OOO over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross is compelled to raise
hts fund from the people because 1t has
Eo small an endowment fund-less than
$4,000, OOO-while Japan for instance,
has more than $13,0O0,000 in her fund,
hhe income from which pays all ex-
benses.
The money is necessary to keep up
fhe supplies and equipment Of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.

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.

OUR RED CROSS is
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans who have been
helping the Red Cross have of late
been making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
ity of the Red Cross would constrain it
to send food, medicines and hospital
units to Germany.
'I want to give to help our boys, and
the stricken people Of France and Bel
g1um and Serbia many a one has
written in; "but 1 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 has gone to 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 Cen
eral Pershing's men as may need care.
The matter Of sending Red Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
in the recent Red Cross war council in
Washington. Charles D. Norton, one
of the members, answered inquiries
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 it would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Germany
as we did before we were forced 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.

FIVE PACIFIC
SHIPS GIVEN
UP AS LOST
4 r =

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-Five
ships, three American, one British
and one Japanese, the largest num-
Der ever hopelessly overdue at this
port at one time, have been practic-
ally given up by their agents and
owners.
The probable loss Of these vessels
is believed to be due to clock bombs
placed in the cargoes by enemy
agents.
This suspicion was enhanced today
by the report that one Of the employ
es on stern-wheeler carrying mu-
nitions told Of watching the opening
Of six cases of powder. in each Of
which there was a fragile glass bot
tie of acid, the breaking Of which
would have ignited the powder.
The schooner Winslow is eighty
eight days out of Sidney for Apia.
The r. G. Slade Is ia days on
from Sidney for San Francisco.
The Beluga is nine,y-two days out
from San Francisco for Sidney.
The Japanese tramp Kota Hira is
thirty-five days out from Kobe for
San Francisco.
The Union Freighter Wairuna is
now some three months overdue In
this port from New Zealand.

WORK Of P|CKETS
BLOCKSSUFFRAGE
CAUSE IN SENATE

Action OF the pickets OF the Ma
tional Woman's party at the White
House has had the eject OF holding
back a favorable report on the suf-
frage amendments by the Woman
Suffrage Committee OF the Senate.
This fact was brought out today on
the floor of the Senate in the course
Of a sharp and protracted discussion
over suffrage, which was precipi-
tated by a motion OF Senator Cum
minis to discharge the suffrage COM
mittee from the consideration OF the
proposed amendment.
Senator Cummins' motion for the
discharge OF. the committee was de-
bAted until o'clock and then went
to the calendar.
1t Is likely that further discussion
will develop over the matter unless
there is a meeting OF the suffrage
within a reasonable time.

MESSAGE TO PEOPLE:

Three years OF hard lighting
are behind US. With grief we re-
member our dead, with pride our
soldiers now fighting, with conf
dence all our workers and with
a heavy heart those who are
languishing in captivity, but
above all our thoughts stand res
olute In the determination to
prosecute this righteous war OF
defense. to a successful termina-
ton.
"The enemy Is stretching out
his hands toward German terri
tory, but he shall never have IL.
New nations continue to enter
into the war against US, but that
does not brighten us. We know
our strength. and we are deter
mined to make use OF II. They
wish to see us weak and power
less at their feet, but they shall
not prevail.
They received disdainfully
our words OF peace; they did not
know how Germany could night.
Throughout the world they have
slandered the German name, but
they cannot extinguish the glory
OF German deeds.
Thus we stand erect at the
close OF this year unmovable,
victorious and intrepid. Our
trials may still await us, but
we shall meet them with a grave
mien and full OF faith. Through
out the three years achievement
the mighty German people has
become firm in its resistance
against all that the power of the
enemy can conceive. II the
enemy wishes to prolong the
sufrerings of war they VIII
weigh more heavily upon him
than upon US.
For that which has been ac-
complished on the front let us
at home show our gratitude by
tireless toll. We must still con-
tinue to night and to furnish
arms for 1t. But our people
may rest assured that German
blood and German zeal are not
being gambled with for an
empty shadow OF ambition or
schemes OF conquest and subju-
CATION, but in defense of a
sTonG. free empire, In which our
children may live in security.
Let all our actions and all our
thoughts be devoted to this night.
Let this be our solemn promise

MESSAGE TO FIGHTERS:

1.-THE third year Of the war has
come to an end. The number
OF our adversaries has increased.
but their prospects OF victory
have not improved. You crushed
Roumania last year. The Rus
sian empire once more trembles
under our strokes. Both coun-
tries sacrificed themselves for
the interests Of others and are
now bleeding to death. In
Macedonia you forcibly with
stood the enemy's assaults. In
mighty battles on the western
front you remain the masters OF
the situation. Your lines are
firm, protecting your beloved
homes against the terrors and
devastations OF war.
The navy has achieved good
results. 1t has threatened the
enemy's command Of the sea and
his very existence. Far from
home a little German group Is
defending German colony
against forces many times super
Tor.
Victory In the coming year
will again be on our side and on
that OF our allies. Ours will be
the final victory.
with deeply moved heart I
thank you in my own name and
that OF the fatherIand for what
your have achieved in this last
year OF the war. With venera-
ton we remember the fallen
who gave up their lives for the
greatness and the safety OF the
fatherland.
THE war goes on. II is still
being forced upon US. We SHALL
fight for our existence in the fu-
ture with firm resolution and I'M
falling courage. AS our prob
lens multiply SO does our
strength increase. We are in
vincible. We shall be victorious.
The Lord God will be with US.
