very reluctantly. for another rush of
tourists from North Germany this

these visitors from the north more in

$50. Attitude of Red Cross
toward German Wounded,
and toward German-Ameri-
cans Affiliated with Red
Cross Hospital Units.
August 10, 1917.

Aug uSS ~ @SA''
Many questions have arisen as to
the attitude of the American Red
Cross toward Germans wounded on
the battlefield, and also toward Amerl-
cans of German origin afthatlng
themselves with Red Cross hospital
units going abroad. To make clear
the attitude of the Red Cross, Henry
+. Dawson. Chairman of the war
Council, authorizes the following
statement:
When war was declared between the
United States and Germany. the neu-
trality of the American Red Cross OF
course ended automatically. Inc
American Red Cross can cooperate
only behind the lines of the armies of
the United States and its allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of wounded
man. Any wounded enemy turned
over to the care of the American Fed
Cross will receive as kindly treatment
as any friend.
The Red Cross will not only extend
every aid and comfort to the armies OF
America and Its allies, but it will as
sist in every possible way the sick,
wounded and afflicted among the civil
ian populations among our allied
countries. This Is in conformity with
the practice of the Red Cross Society
in every country.
August 10, 1917.
AS to the policy of the Red Cross in
this country toward those Of German
origin:
The Red Cross knows no difference
and makes no distinction between any
American citizen.
In so far as base hospital units are
concerned. the Red Cross equips and
enlsts the personnel of those to be
sent to Europe to operate not only
with our own armies but with those of
cur allies. Once enlisted and mus
tered into service, these units become
part of the Army Of the United
States, and there is Of course no dis
elimination by the Red Cross or the
American Army against any loyal
American citizen, no matter Of what
national origin.
Our allies in Europe, however, have
requested the American State Depart
n1ent not to permit persons born in en-
envy countries, or of parents born in an
enemy country, to travel as civilians
in any of the Allied countries. Repre-
sensations, however, have been made
by the Red Cross. which it is hoped
will ultimately prove effective, where
by loyal American citizens on Red
Cross service, may be exempted from
the operation of this rule, no matter
what the country of their origin.
The Red Cross wants it clearly I'M
derstood that it welcomes the CO.
operation of every loyal American,
and that it does not regard that 10y
atty as measured by the country of his
origin.

II recommend Tanlac because it has
done me more good than any other
medicine have ever taken, and be-
cause l am quite sure that it is the
best medicine on the market"
This one sentence is worth a volume
of praise for it is given by a woman
who would not recommend anything
unless she was sure the product should
be recommended. 1t is a statement of
gratefulness, for this woman was suf-
fering. and she was given relief by
Tanlac hence she is more than glad to
tell others of the benefits she derived
in hopes that they too will benefit by
her experience.
Mrs. H. Tilton of Plymouth. Maine.
is the giver of this statement Her
story in her own words follows:
Il suffered from stomach trouble for
some time" she explained. Always
after eating would have pains in my
stomach and a very heavy feeling. I
was unable to get enough sleep to
keep me going through the day. In
tense spells of gas on my stomach kept

Quite naturally l was getting in a run
