Red Cross Notes.
tcontributed)

The following is an excerpt
from the speech delivered at the
Red Cross rooms in Lewiston
Nov. % by Mrs. Lucy C. Hilton,
director of the won EMS bureau
of Northwest division of the
American Red Cross:
do not condemn the woman
who does not work; she condemns
herself. When she begins to
offer excuses for not appearing at
the work room, she will soon
walk alone. The time may come
when these women will be con-
scripted.
1.-THE government is preparing
for five more years of war. Even
though we read of a successful
British drive, it is not safe to un-
derestimate the strength of the
enemy. The Red Cross must not
underestimate the responsibility
it faces.
The organization is criticized
because the demands on workers
are constantly changing. So are
the conditions and methods of
war. Major Grayson Murphy,
who is in command of the Red
Cross work in France, cables
daily the needs of hospitals. And
what they need and want they
shall have, even if it is ruffies on
their pajamas," said Mrs. Hilton.
1--WE are going over the top with
our boys. Even as the women
of France and England have sac
rificed everything for their boys,
so will we give ourselves to oul
lads. Every woman is a soldier
under orders from Major Murphy,
and just as the soldier keeps his
mouth closed and obeys orders,
so must the women of the Red
Cross forget personal matters and
petty criticism of one another"

KASER'S WIRE
HERE DENIED
Telegram Bearing on Belgium
Neutrality Never Sent,
Paper Says
By 44ssoeidfsd Press

Berlin, Aug. 13 - Via Amster-
dam. = The semi-official Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung denies
the existence of the telegram alleged
by James w. Gerard, the former AM
erican. ambassador at Berlin to have
been sent by Emperor William to
President Wilson in August 1914
when the German emperor is quoted
as having asserted that Belgium s
neutrality had to be violated by Ger
many on strategical grounds. The
alleged telegram which has reached
Berlin by way of Switzerland has the
emperor saying that King George
sent him word through the em-
peror's brother, Prince Henry, that
Great Britain would remain neutral
if war broke out on the continent
involving Germany and France and
Austria and Russia. The Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung says:
The Presidents personal message
to the emperor read as from the Off
cial head of one of the powers which
signed the Hague convention and
said:
"I feel it to be my right and my
duty in accordance with Article Ill
of the convention to declare to you
in a spirit of trust friendship that l
would welcome any opportunity to
act in the interests of European
peace
This proposal was made at the
time when the armies of both sides
had already crossed the frontier and
when 1t seemed out of the British
military authorities are convinced
that the day of the superman has
arrived and that the part he is to
play in the war and. regenerating the
world cannot be overestimated."
A representative of the Associated
Press who was permitted to visit a
great training school as the. guest of
the foreign office, obtained an in
sight to the remarkable change
brought about in the British view
point during the past three years.
The British not only are putting
forth all their energy in further per-
fecting their fighting forces, but are
actually and earnestly devoting
themselves to the development of
their youth in a manner calculated
to fit them for any and all eventual
tiles which may arise in the years
If the Germans cherished the idea
of eliminating Britain as n world
power. Britain, 1t is said. far from
being beaten, now sees with q clearer
vision than ever before and is pre-
pairing to turn to scales against her
adversary in such way as they may
never again swing back.
While statements are being made
or unmade with the changing for
tunes of war, the great silent forces
of a nation proud Of its traditions
and thoroughly aroused to its own
shortcomings are constantly march
ing in an almost endless chain. from
training schools to battle fronts and
back again.
Stretched over many miles of roll
ing hills, carpeted with green foliage,
is the school wherein hundreds OF
thousands of British youth are being
taught to master themselves, as one
of their instructors expressed it so
| that they be better prepared to mas
ter their enemy and live their lives
as they would live them"
Use your eve and your BRAIN
is the new British watchword which
is being instilled into the British
youth with all the force at the COM
mand of his superiors.
