RED CROSS WORK.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
am one OF the women OF Fl Paso
who is deeply interested in the Red
Cross surgical work as IL is being
carried on here and all over the
United States I have visited several
cities this summer where women and
girls worked not only all day but
evening as well In some places even
business men gave several evenings
week to aid in picking okum for
pads This was in a locality where
the days were almost as warm as in
FL Paso and perhaps the evenings
were warmer.
A few women Of FL Paso worked
untiringly last year and. to a more
limited extent. all summer, but now
is the time when we should all take
up the work again with all our
strength There are many women like
myself who would prefer 10 work aft
ernoons Many, who would gladly
give several half days a week, can
scarcely leave home in the morning.
Surely we are going to get behind
the leaders now and show that e.
Paso can do more than give money
for the various drives. Let Us also
show that We can give real work for
our boys -over there" Let not one
woman reproach herself that some FL

Still in Existence
Baker Praises Work Done by
Committee Member Recent
" Under Senate Fire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Sccretary
Baker, who recently wrote Senator Nc
kellar, of Tennessee, a member of the
Senate Military Committee, that, SO far
as he knew, Charles Eiscnman, of Clevc-
land, Ohio, no longer was connected
with the government, issued a state
ment tonight explaining that, while the
reorganized quartermaster generals de-
partment no longer depended upon the
Supplies Committee of the Council Of
National Defence, of which Mr.. Esen-
man is vicc-chairman, that committee
still is in existence "and will continue
TO accumulate information in order
that it may advise the several depart
ments Of the government whose needs
are co0rdinated by the Council Of Ma
tiona Defence"
"Mr. Eisenman, who remains mem
Der of that committee and is it's vice
chairman" the statement added, will
undoubtedly render very valuable SER
vice TO the government upon his re-
turn from a vacation trip. In the mean
time | am glad to have a public op-
portunty to say that the work done
by Mr.. Eisenman during all the hurried
months Of our early preparation was
of the highest value to the government,
resulting in the saving of many mil
lions of dollars"

centres OF the Senate committees in

Daniels Commends
Lieut.. ]. w. Glover

Captain G. L. Garden, commander of
the New York Division of the United
States Coast Guard Service, stationed
at the Barge Office at the Battery, made
public yesterday letter from Secre-
tary Daniels to First Lieutenant OF
Engineers Jesse W. Glover. now sta
toned here. The letter highly com
mends Lieutenant Glover for his gal
lantry last June when the Coast Guard
steamer McCulloch, TO which he was at
tached. was sunk as the result of a col
lision with the Pacific Steamship Com
oany's steamer. the Governor, off the
California coast.
The engines OF the McCullcch had
been installed under the personal su-
pervison of Lieutenant Glover. The
collision stove great hole in the side
of the McCulloch and the ship began to
sink rapidly. The order to abandon
ship had been given when Lieuten-
ant Glover asked permission to go be-
low, saying that he believed he, could
save the ship. Two sailors Germans
but naturalized citizens-volunteere
to accompany him.
Despite the efforts Of the officer anc
two seamen the ship continued to take
water faster than the pumps could keep
it out, and they were finally ordered on
deck. Lieutenant Glover again askeC
permission to &c below. Had he done
so this time, Secretary Daniels's' letter
states, he would have almost inevitably
have lost his life. Permission was re.
fused, and a few minutes later the
boat sank.

Rivers Bill, Cut
To Sl9,227,000,
Is Before House
Measure Calls for Smallest
Total in Years; Only
One New Project

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Thc rivers
and harbors bill, carrying S19,227O0o,
the smallest amount in years, was in
troduced to-day in the House. Only
one new project was included and no
provision was made for surveys.
Among the largest items are S0,oOO,-
600 for continuing work on the Ohio
River, S2,2O0,00O for continuing work
il the East River at New York and ST.,
geo for Southwest Pass. at the
mouth of the Mississippi.
In reducing the army engineers estj-
mates from S29 ,507 900, the committees
report says it acted for economy, but
without neglecting any river or harbor.
The Ohio River project Is regarded as
particularly important now on account
of the railroad situation. and the COM
lnittee adopted the recommendation Of
the army engineers OF attempting to
keep open ninefoot channel from
Henderson. Ky, to Cairo, H., by
dredging rather than the plan of cX-
tending the lock system below Hendor-
son.
The only new project included at the
request Of the Shipping Board was that
for the connecting channel between Los
Angeles and Long Beach. Cal. needed
to aid the shipbuilding programme.

The awarLls in part recognition of
the claims of the men on this class of
