RED CROSS MEN VISIT ITALIAN
 HEADQUARTERS

Italian Headquarters in Northedn Italy. April 8-(By The Associated Press.)-H. P. Davison, chairman of the American Red Cross council, ac- companied by Col. Robert P. Perkins, head of the American Red Cross mis- sion to Italy, and Major Ivy Lee of the American Red Cross, arrived at headquarters this morning. They were received by Gen. Diaz, the Ital- ian commander in chief, and later by Premier Orlando.
 MT. Davision told Gen. Diaz his main purpose was to see the war relief work for himself so as to be able to make necessary plans and to report to the American people how their money was spent.
 Both Premier Orlando and General Diaz expressed appreciation of what Americans are doing. The chief good, they explained, had come from the further strengthening of the friendly ties between Italy and the United States, with the resultant moral as well as material assistance.

BARTON AGAINST
 WAR RESOLUTION

Boston, April 8-Dr. James L. Bar ton, foreign secretary of the Ameri can board of commissioners for for eign missions made public yesterday a letter to Senator Lodge in which he expressed the hope that Congress would not pass the Senate resolution declaring that state of war exists between Bulgaria and Turkey and the United States.
 Pointing out that other countries at war with Germany had not declar- ed war on all of it's allies, Dr. Barton said the United States could render Germany no greater service than by passing the resolution, inasmuch as Germany keenly feels the need of such a step to consolidate Bulgaria and Turkey in their sense of dependence now and after the war.

CHARGE ALLIANCE
 WITH SUPPORTING ENEMY MEASURES

washington, April 9.-Positive charges that individual members of the German-American Alliance SUD- ported propaganda to mould the pol icy of the United States in the event of war with Germany were made to- day by Prof, E. E. Sperry of Syra- cuse University before the Senate committee considering the bill to re- yoke the organizations charter.
 Members, he said, backed the Amer ican embargo conference, the Amer1- can Nutrality league and other organ izations which, he charged, were part of the pan-German league.
 German school teachers years ago, Sperry said. were teaching their charges that "the time is coming when Germans in the United States would have the right that is their due"
 At the convention of the National German-American Alliance in New York in 1907, Sperry declared, William Randolph Hearst proposed the forma- tion of an International German American Alliance, the effect of which, Sperry said, would have been to ex- tend the activities of the alliance to Germany.
 ""Mr. Hearst offered to pay the ex- penses of the delegates from this country to Germany for that purpose, '' said Sperry.
 The plan never was carried out bu1 delegates went to Cambridge, Mass. at that time at the expense of Mir Hearst, where a, dedication of a Ger man memorial took place.

With the British Army in France, Sunday, April 7-(By the Associated Press)-No finer chapter has been provided from the story of the British defense since the German offensive began than that furnished by the cav- airy.
 Never during the present war had horsemen been given the chance which they had in this more or less open warfare, and they made the most of it. They have been here, there and everywhere, filling in gaps, strengthening the lines and covering the retirement of infantry Their work has been brilliant and they thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, despite the gruelling engagements.
 The correspondent saw long lines of cavalry on the road yesterday. They were battle worn and plainly showed the marks of hard fighting. More than one trooper led a riderless horse. But the mems heads were up and their lances described defiant circles, while the horses cavorted as if they, too, were ready for more trouble.
 In the first three days of the Ger man drive the cavalry fought mostly on foot and did valuable work. It was dismounted cavalry that held the Allezy-Ham line on March 22 while the infantry withdrew. There was terrific fighting here. One party of dragoons was cut off all night, during which it was out in the open battling for life. Finally the men cut their way through the German lines at Jussy by main force.
 On the 23rd the cavalry came into it's own, for the horses were brought forward and the troopers began a series of spectacular feats.
 When Noyon was first threatened cavalry was sent to hold the line of the Ise west of the town. The British infantry was forced to fall back on the 18th and the cavalry was pulled back also with the intention of occupying the ridge near the village of Porquer- icourt in the vicinity of Noyon. The Germans also were after this hill
 A race developed between the horse men and the enemy infantry across the rolling ground. The Germans reached the northern part of the wood but. the cavalry arrived at the other side at about the same time and went rushing through the forest against the Germans. An intense battle at close quarters ensued and the cavalry was doing great execution when the order came to fall back to cover the retire ment of the infantry, which had sue cumbeid to pressure at other points. The troopers withdrew from theswood and brought up the rear, pausing of ten to fight rear guard actions with the hotly pressing Germans.
 The next action was on March 30, when the Germans got into wood

UNIONS
 STAND BACK OF
 THIRD U. s LOAN

The Third Liberty Loan will have the solid support of more than 5000 labor unions represented in the Sec ond Federal Reserve District. The work of canvassing the great labor organizations of New York and the portions of New Jersey and Connec- ticut included in the districts boun- daries, will be directed by Joseph Hartigan, former Commissioner of Weights and Measures of New York and now director of the Speakers bureau of the Liberty Loan com mittee.

In addition to this, most of the large unions will make appropriations from their treasuries to buy bonds. The carpenters have already set aside $75,000 to buy bonds.
 Hartigan said that the unions will organize for loan work at meetings to be held before April 6. Members of the Speakers Bureau will get in touch with organized labor at street meetings during the campaign. Members of the general committee of forty-five on the Liberty Loan | committees Labor bureau, include: Jmes P. Holland, president of the New York State Federation of Labor, Ed ward A.

BAR VISITORS FROM ENTERING
 AVIATION CAMPS

Dallas, Texas, April 9-In view or the belief that German spies are ac- tive throughout the United States stricter rules regulating access to ar ny aviation camps in Texas have been promulgated and visitors to the fields now find it difficult to gain admit lance.
 With the coming of the aviation schools to Texas there developed the usual crowd of curious who, not con- lent to witness the flights from their backwards, made visits to the fields and invaded, when possible, officers uuarters, hangars, flying fields and in fact every place that they thought they might see something new. It was with great difficulty that machines were able to rise and land safely, and Commanders began to grow more strict.
 Finally all without passes were rul- ed off the fields. Then they blocked the byways leading to the camps and when aviators were forced to descend hnd repair trucks were started to the assistance of the disabled machines in double quick time, it was with great difficulty that they made their way through the jam of automobiles and farm wagons.
 Under the new rules every person must have a pass to get beyond the entrances of the camps. Officers, en- listed men and cadets have the privi- lege of asking for passes for their Friends, but they are only granted by headuuarters when the prospective host is to be off duty. Officers, en- listed men or cadets seeking passes are responsible for the visitors while they are in the camps and the name of each visitor must appear on his or her pass.
 Visitors never are allowed within the hangars, neither are they permit ted to enter the machine shops at the fields Every persons passing the guard is asked if he or she carries a camera and If the guard has any doubt the visitor is searched.
 Recently a visitor to Love Field here made several pictures of air planes in the air. The amateur pho. tographer was seated in ah automo. bile outside the flying field but a sen- try observed him and a few minutes later an officer asked the visitor fol the camera. It was promptly turned oyer and a few days later it was re turned to the owner-minus the films He was cautioned not to attempt tC take any more pictures of flyers.
 Another nuisance around aviation camps Is the souvenir hunter. It wa! discovered that. when the opportun ity presented, he removed from air planes anything that was loose ant which could conveniently be carried away. Aside from the monetary los the practice was dangerous to tn, aviators for it was possible that somt parts essential to the safety of thu flyers might be stolen and not missed until the machine was thousands O feet in the air.

northwest of Moreuil Word came from the British command that the wood must be cleared out. The posi- tion was filled with enemy infantry, who had brought forward great num- bers of machine guns which were mounted in every available vantage place, even in trees.
 The cavalry was called upon. They responded and came pounding up to the wood in Q picturesque manner. Here a part of them dismounted and went in on foot, but the Canadian horses tore on into the forest and hurled themselves upon the enemy. As one trooper later put it:
 There was Hell of @ fight"
 Step by step the Germans gave way before the onslaught until the west ern part Of the wood had been clear ed. The cavalry held it until next morning, when the infantry took over the position.
 On. the 31st the Germans again at- tackled in force and once more the British infantry, although fighting gallantly and stubbornly, was com pelled to pull back because of the overwhelmingly weight of the num- bers opposed to it. During the after noon the cavalry again attacked here and drove most of the Germans back somewhat, but the enemy still clung to the high ground and kept sending forward supporting infantry.
 That night 1t was decided that the cavalry should attack again the next morning, April 1. They attacked and no more splendid sight has been seen along the front than when they came charging across the field, and drove straight into the banks of ma chine guns scattered among the trees The first charge gave the horsemen a footing in the wood. They reformed and surged forward again. This time they got to the center of the forest. Once more they drove their horses full tilt against the German line. The latter held for a little and then sagged and broke and the British stormed their way clear through to the eastern side of the wood, the enemy fleeing before them. Behind them the ground was strewn with German dead and wound ed.
 The enemy immediately reorganiz- ed for a counter attack and here the l horse gunners got in some fine work. As the Germans massed in the open the artillerymen poured shell after shell into their ranks, one battery alone firing 2,000 rounds at this magnificent target. For an hour the German infantry was marching under a hail of death. It came forward but only a few of the men reached the wood, and the attack was smash ed easily by the troopers.
