CIVILIAN RELIEF Is
DIVERSIFIED WORK
Even On-Dependent Relatives Of
Guardsmen Need Advice.

Orders from the War Department
authorizing the discharge from the
national guard OF all soldiers with
dependent relatives have not ma
terIalIy affected the labors of the
civilian relief committee. The work
of this organization is not limited 40
giving material assistance, such as
money, clothing and food.
The bureau OF Information and ad-
vice, which is open every day from
10 o'clock in the morning until noon.
at 1901 Connecticut avenue, is kept
busy counseling with families over
difficulties with Landlords, insurance
policies, neIghborhood dangers to
children and the hundreds OF other
problems.
The members of the committee
have organized the Friendly Visitors
Club.
The committee has received sew
eraI score letters voicing heartfelt
gratitude for its labors. A class has
ueen started to train members OF the
committee in doing practical relief
work among the relatives OF the
guardsmen.

would give Russian territory back to
Russia and would leave Alsace-Lor-
raine in German clutches, a tragedy
about which Russia would perhaps
not worry.
Russians may be taken in by this
scheming; but for Americans it is
necessary to realize that the cause of
Alsace-Lorraine is one involving our
ideals Of freedom and justice, even
as that of BELGIUM.

Scheming for AIsace.Lorraine

Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 was a prey
that Prussia seized but could not
swallow. Prussia had then but
freshly constituted the German en-
pire and the other component states
had to be humored somewhat. So
these wretched provinces were left
in the condition of a Reichsland, be-
longing to no one state, yet not be-
longing to themselves. Prussia HAD
other conquered German lands to alb
sorb and has left the lost provinces
of France awaiting a final DISPOSE
ton.
Now come indications that Prussia
has made a deal with Bavaria, the
second largest of the German states,
partitioning the stolen provinces.
Such an act would OF course be a
second theft and a second imposition
upon the right of the people Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine to belong to the
nation of their tradition and prefer
ence. That such a thing as the ban
dying about of some millions of peo-
pie between sovereigns, like cattle or
chattels, is possible in Germany to-
day is a plain sign Of the oppressed
condition of these provinces. No
American knowing and honestly be-
lieving in the principles Of America
could fail to read in this fact the
wrong being done.
The present German stir over the
fate Of the provinces is due to the
difficulty encountered by Germany in
continuing the war. The demand for
peace encounters the imperial chan
cellor at every turn. In Prussia he
is fairly sure Of support in continu-
ing the war. Elsewhere the needs of
the Hohenzollern family command
less respect. But with Bavaria as an
ally Prussia can still keep the whip
hand in the Bundesrath. Bavaria,
though a traditional antagonist Of
Prussia, has been thoroughly loyal
to Prussia during this entire war, for
did not the Kaiser acquiesce in the
coup d'etat by which the present
reigning branch seized the throne
eight months before the war.
Now at last Bavaria has shown
signs Of wsyerinG. She asked a price.
The Bavarian premier, Hertling, has
been negotiating in Berlin. Therefore
q part of the Reichsland is proffered
Bavaria. Wuerttemberg, Baden, Sax
ony, are alarmed and displeased at
the prospect; but they are in q hope

TELLS OF WAR APATHY
IN WEST AND SOUTH
London Times Says Country
Doesn't Realize Conditions.

LONDON, May 21.-Under the head
ing Of "A Far-off War" the Times gives
prominence to a Chicago dispatch In re-
gard to the war from a special CORE
spondent. who deals with the state of
mind that prevails in the Western and
Southwestern States. He bases his mes
sage on definite information secured
from trustworthy sources scattered
throughout the entire Middle West and
South"
"Ap reports" he says. clearly indi-
cate that the fundamental facts and
possibilities Of the war are little better
understood now than before war was
declared. Everything Is going on as
usual People have no conception OF
the changes impending In the near fu-
ture.
Strange though It may seem, people
far removed from the seaboard imagine
that. even II the war does come to this
country, Il Is a matter that will be taken
care OF by the Eastern States and the
Government at Washington. There Is
no conception Of actual individual re-
sponsibility Of all citizens as being es-
sential to the successful prosecution Of
the war"
After referring to the popular hesita-
says only the great financial interests
are taking an active interest. the eorre-
spondent concludes:
Altogether the results of the most
careful inquiry point to the absolute
necessity OF a Government publicity
campaign on a large scale II the people
Of this country are to be relied upon for
substantial and fully organized CO.
operation with the allies within the
next twelve months"
The Daily Mail in an editorial says:
Nobody who knows American condi-
tons and who remembers what we went
through ourselves in the early stages
Of the war will be. surprised. We must
not look for miracles, even from Amer
lea. Il would be better. perhaps. to eN-
pect very little from her during the
present year apart from financial as
sistance. She will pull her weight IN
her own time. and We who understand
her difficulties can have nothing bui
sympathy with Mr.. Wilson's efforts &c
organize the power and awaken the en-
thuSiASm Of his country.

Our Central American Allies

Now that the United States is ac-
tually beginning to realize that we
are not conducting q mere paper war,
as it was slightingly termed not so
long ago in the halls of Congress, but
one which will demand the full meas
ure of the nations self-sacrifce and
devotion, it is pleasing to contem-
plate one benefit already plainly Wis
ible as an outgrowth Of the present
crisis.
Within the brief period elapsed
since the severance Of relations with
Germany there has come to the ma
tons Of this continent a realization
Of their inherent unity, such as dec
AIDES of dollar diplomacy" and Bryan
peace treaties equally have failed to
achieve.
With the exception Of San Saliva
dor, all the republics of Central
America have lined up AGAINST the
Kaiser, the latest accession being
Nicaragua.
Noteworthy among these allies is
Panama Evidencino that republics
often do show gratitude, she prompt
ly placed her entire resources at the
disposal of the United States and
named q war commission, which is
now here cooperating with our War
Department. Panama's greatest need
now is roads. These are equally
necessary to Panama for her indus
trial development, opening up vast
stretches of the most fertile land to
agriculture, and to the United States
from motives of military strategy for
the defense Of the canal.
We have already loaned staggering
sums to England, Russia, France,
Italy, and Belgium, wit, no other Sc
curity than the pledge of their ma
tional faith. Panama seeks no such
loan as this. She onl-- a-lss that we
make her an advance on the money
which, under the canal treaty, she
yearly receives from the canal tolls,
this money to be used in internal i'm
provements.
1t must also be remembered that
under the terms Of the treaty by
which the United States acquired the
Canal Zone we are bound to main
tain the national. integrity Of Pana-
ma. What better way to do this than
bH helping her to defend herself?

Hard Pounding

The mythical remark attributed to
Wellington at Waterloo, up, guards,
and at them" was a much less char
acteristic utterance for him and for
the nation which he so greatly rep
resented than what he really said on
that world battlefield. 1t was when
the veterans Of Napoleon were can
nonading the British troops with
marked effect that Wellington said:
"Hard pounding, gentlemen; let US
see who can pound the hardest"
1t is hard pounding and the ability
to endure hard pounding that is
smashing, however slowly, the Hin
denburg line in France. The attack
of British and French troops. served
as they are with artillery that has
won the advantage over the Krupp
guns and those who serve them, is
irresistible. We hear little Of Brit
ish and French casualties. We know
there must be enormous sacrifices Of
life. Yet the German line is slowly
reeeding toward its own frontier, and
the German army, whether re-en-
forced or not by the troops from the
Russian front, is crumbling away.
The news today that the British
troops have successfully assailed an
other five miles of the Hindenburg
line, that the French have repulsed
with great slaughter the attempts Of
the Germans to retake the French
positions recently captured, Is but
the repetition of the news that has
been all one way ever since the
spring drive began. However brave
the German soldiers may be, there is
a constant loss of morale for q re-
treating army, ever falling to recap
ture strategic positions lost, ever be-
ing driven backward with a fearful
toll of dead and wounded. And this
news is supplemented with better
tidings from Russia than we have
had for some weeks, the reorganized
and more fully representative cabi-
net seeming to possess the confidence
Of the Radicals and to inspire the
army to new efforts. The Italians
have made substantial gains against
the Austrians, the British and
French are steadily advancing
against the Bulgarians, and the Brit
ish in Palestine are moving forward
also.
The moral effect Of the immediate
entrance into the war of the great,
est Of Western powers, and the sym
pathetic action of manv of the Gen.
tral and South American republics
must be great. Germany and her now
reluctant allies are fighting nearly
the whole Of the civilized world. The
struggle may be prolonged, but the
end is inevitable, and the longer the
seeking Of peace terms is postponed
the less advantageous to Germany
those terms will necessarily be, from
the improved military situation.

Of our most beloved dead, as drawn
by General Sturgis, who commanded
the Second division, Ninth A. c. OF
the Army of the Potomac at Fred

'If the brave men who fell at Fred.

voted friend, thus surrounded by so
many appointments Of graceful ease
and luxury. All! Mother picture
of Clara Barton would be the picture
Of an angel OF mercy. lowering over

veloped in the smoke of battle as in
a cloud, bringing suceor and hope to
the wounded, and tenderly perform.

dead. This would be q true picture
this would be history, and this, in
short, would be Clara Barton. Away
down in my heart l shall always re-
tain this image that the dead soldiers

This letter, with many. others from
those who were with her on the bat
