Red Gross Work in the City

II is ernestly hoped that the Putnam women will show their patriotism in meeting the call of the Red Cross Workers. Already inquiries have been sent from Washington asking if this division had it's boxes ready for ship ment, An immediate need may arise and a large supply of hospital articles must be at hand. Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon the hall at the Muai- cipal Building is open and machines and materials ready for workers. Work will also be given out to those who p e. fer to sew at home. The work Is all cut and the various parts of garments so marked or pinned that no difficulty is met in making. None of the work is difficult and no one is too ineXper fenced to help in it. There are face cloths and socks to knit; bed sheets, operating gowns, pajamas, sheets slips, bandages, pads, etc.. 10 make. Handkerehiefs, towels, old linen, khaki colored thread No. 30l, white thread No 30), white darning cotton, needles (No. 5l, alarming needles, but tons, large thimble, blunt scissors, soap, safely pins, common pins, small comb, tooth brush, tooth paste, small round mirror, pencils, writing pad, playing cards, collapsibe aluminium drinking cup, pocket knife, tan shoe act S, all these are needed, and if one or more of these be given by individ uals, the expense to the chapter is greatly lessened and the individual scarcely feels the small amount they have paid out. Comfort bags of wash able material 10x13 inches are needed and it is hoped that many will make and fill one bag. In many places com fort bag clubs are formed and social gatherings are held while these are being made. Each member is respon. sible for bag and gets the needed ar ticles contributed by her friends.

REVIEW OF CABLE NEWS

The resignation OF Paul Miliukof as
Russian premier dominates all the cable
dispatches today. It is the final touch
to the effort to force a show down.
Soldies' Delegates, which is trying to
usurp all the power OF the provisional
government without assuming any of
the responsibility.
There Is no question that the Russian
people will not permit Miliukoff to retire
permanently. He is too valuable a man
to pass from the realm OF public affairs.
His resignation will do more to bring
the radicals to their senses than any
thing else could do. Even the resigna-
tions Of Korniloff and Gutchkoff did not
stay their hand. They are now in the
position OF facing the wrath OF the rank
and file OF the Russian populace by en-
dansering the success of the republican
movement in Petrograd. Under the
threat Of such displeasure they will
moderate their demands, unqUestionably,
and the new coalition cabinet to be
formed will be in a position to ask and
to enforce its authority.
Russia has had what was in reality
q paper government ever since the
Gar was deposed, and the present crisis
will do more to ensure stability than
policy Of compromise and postponement
II is true It is attended with elements of
great danger for IL German intrigue
succeeds in its designs. which is exceed
ingly unlikely. it will topple over the
whole republican movement and force a
separate peace between Russia and Ger
many through the medium Of the Social
lists at the Stockholm conference.
Incidentally, the critical position Of
Bethmann-Hollweg is evinced clearly by
the hesitant, compromising, indecisive
speech which he made before the Reichs-
tag, with its abortive bid for peace with
Russia, and by the fact that George Le-
bedour. the most radical Socialist in Ger
many. Is to be permitted to attend the
Stockholm conference. Lebedour is an
avowed enemy Of the Hohenzollerns and
recently announced in the Reichstag that
Germany would find it impossible to sub
jugate her enemies and would be forced
to adopt a program Of no annexations
and no indemnities.
The British admiralty yesterday an
nounced the arrival Of American torpedo
boat destroyers in the North Sea zone.
This Is the first fruit of the naval con-
ferences held in Washington with mem
bers Of the British mission. 1t will be
followed by even more interesting news
In the near future
The transfer OF a large number of Ger
man divisions from the eastern to the
western front undoubtedly will SLOW
up" the British and French offensives.
and unless some activity is shown by
the Russians it is possible that a long
period Of deadlock VIII set in.
