 BILL UNANIMOUSLY PASSES SENATE

tailed report of what the local mem bers would be expected to do in the
 way of assisting the government dur
 ing the present war in the Red Cross work.
 The most inspiring and eloquent address of the evening was delivered by Rabbi A. B. Rhine. Always an en- tertaining speaker, this popular divine impressed his hearers with the sin cerity of his remarks. He stated those present had heard expert suggestions as to Red Cross work. but he came to them with no knowledge of this feature, but as plain citizen who be- lieved in the Red Cross organization and desired to see it succeed in Hot Springs. He came 10 the meeting as one to urge every man and woman in this city to membership in the local chapter Paying President Wilson most glowing tribute, he sounded the slogan now heard throughout the United States: Stand by the Presi- dent!' and declared that as the gov. ernment moblizes it's military forces. SO, too, must civilians moholize their forces to assist the government He praised the work of the Red Cross as an organization doing a great work for humanity and its active members rendering the most noble of service It is noble, in times like these. he stated, to be of service to the presi- dent and the government. There are men and women in time of war who cannot fight, it is true, but those same men and women can be of inestima. ole value 10 the government in other ways.
 some one has said declared Rabbi Rhine that men will fight and women will weep, but woman today has advanced to that state where she will do other things than weep, but will be happy to prove her actual serv- ice to her country"
 Rabbi Rhine recalled the service the Red Cross society had rendered the city of San Francisco in the great earthquake: to Ohio during the big floods some years ago, and then brought the lesson of service home by reminding the people of Hot Springs that after the last serious conflagra- ton here. in September 1913, the American Red Cross society gave ST. O42.90 to relieve the local fire suf- ferers, and stated that the people of this city. who have Oeen the direct beneflciaries of this great organiza- tion should at this time, first, as matter of gratitude for services ren- dered Hot Springs, and, secondly, as loyal American citizens become mem bers of the Red Cross society by join ing the local chapter.
 A committee was appointed 10 nomi- nate officers for the permanent or ganization but later reported they would like to have more time, the com mittee believing that the selection of officers was the most important fea- ture of all and desired 10 choose prominent men and women of the city who would give their active support to the organization. The committee will meet with Secretary Ebel, of the Business Mems League. this afternoon at ! o'clock for further consideration of this subject.
 Miss Regina Kaplan, superintend ent of the Leo N. Levi hospital. who had a quartet of pretty Red Cross nurses present at the meeting last night has at the present time two classes of 20 members each. who re- ceive instructions from her every Thursday on the duties of Rcd Cross work. Membership in the local chap ter. it was pointed out last night, does not mean becoming Red Cross nurse or even leaving ones home city, but there are many ways in which one can be of distinct and useful service to the country during it's present try ing hour and later a most active cam paign will be made for members, which, those in charge of the organi' zation of the local chapter, will result in making the Hot Springs oTganlza- ton one of the largest and most in- fluential in the South.
