 The "Sister Rule" Has Been Modified
 The War Department has advised the National Headquarters of the American Red Cross that the sister rule" has been modified so that sis ters of men serving in the Army and Navy may now be enrolled for Red Cross work in France under certain definite restrictions
 The candidate must be particularly qualified by training for the definite position she is to fill. She must go to France as a worker and not as a relative. She will agree to make no effort to visit her relatives in France whether sick or well. The Red Cross is held responsible for the full fillment of these rulings and for re- turning her promptly to America If she violates them. Should she marry a member of the American Expe- ditionary Forces after her arrival abroad, she will automatically be sent back to America by the Red Cross
 This modification makes 1t possible for young women who are particular ly we'll fitted by training and ex- perience to serve the Red Cross in France, notwithstanding the fact that they may have a brother in military or naval service. The Red Cross is, however, required to send only those who are especially we'll fitted for some definite work.

GEN. DoNNELLY ARRESTED
ON CARD-PLAYING CHARGE
Missourian Accused Of Engaging in
Games With Junior Officers While
Liquor Was Served.

Brig. Gen. Arthur B. Donnelly. for
merly of the Missouri National Guard,
is under arrest at Camp Mills. N. Y.
Gen. Donnelly has been in command
of the 1sSth Infantry. formed from
the old LIST and 9th Missouri regiments.
An official report, made by an in
specting officer, charges that Gen. Don
nelly participated in games of cards
with junior officers, In which money
was passed; that the games were held
in the generals tent. and that liquor
was served to the players. A special
court-martial in the case has been Or
dered.
Strong influence has been brought to
bear on the War Department to have
the charges dropped, but Secretary Ba-
ker refused to interfere. He is under
stood to have told members of Con-
gress who approached him that gen
eral officer would be handed the same
measure of justice as the raWest re-
cruit, but that the sentence in the
former case should, in fairness. be
more severe because of the oppor-
tunity the officer had to familiar1ze
himself with Army regulations.

TOWNLEY RESENTS CHARGES.
Head Of Non-Partisan League Say!
Senator Sherman Lies

ST PAUL. Mimi. April 25.-A. c.
Townley. president of the National
Non-partisan League. in a statement
denies the charges which were made
against him yesterday in the United
States Senate by Senator Sherman of
Illinois.
IT resent. and every patriotic citizen
should resent. Senator Sherman's as
sault upon the President at a critical
time when all loyal Americans should
be supporting the government" said
Townley.
Senator Sherman's accusation that I
am German and that the National
Non-partisan League is financed in part
by German money is malicious false
hood. If he will repeat this libel off
the Senate floor, where he rs not pro.
tected by his senatorial privileges, I
will refute his lying statements in q

MINISTERS LEAVE HAGUE
AND Berlin FOR HOMES
Netherlands Legation Says Move
Does Not Necessarily Mean
Break Between Countries.

AMSTERDAM, April 24.-The Hetvo1k
announces that the German minister to
the Netherlands has left The Hague for
Berlin and that the Dutch minister to
Germany is on his way from Berlin to
The Hague.
The Berlin correspondent of Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant is informed by
a person in authority that difficulties
have arisen in the negotiations between
Germany and Holland and the negotia-
lions are not making Roadway.
The Hague correspondent of the Han
delsblad says that the question of the
transport of sand and gravel and the
use Of the railway line through Limbourg
depends entirely on the intentions of
Germany. The correspondent adds that
the Dutch government will firmly OBJ
serve neutrality whatever happens.
Very Serious, Parliament Is Told.
THE HAGUE, April 25.-Speaking to-
day to the first chamber of the Neither
lands parliament on the sand and gravel
question with Germany, the Dutch for
eign minister declared he could not and
must not conceal from the chamber the
fact that the question was a very seri-
Gus one. He said he could not say more
about it.
Officials of the Netherlands legation,
although without Information from
their government regarding reports
that the German minister had left The
Hague and that the Dutch minister to
Germany had left Berlin, thought today
this did not necessarily mean a break
in diplomatic relations was near be-
tween Germany and Holland. They
said that in the course of negotiations
between the two countries the minis
tiers frequently have returned home for
instructions. If q break were immi-
nent, it was said, the legation here un-
doubtedly would have been informed.
The State Department had received
no word today from Minister Garrett
at The Hague as to the situation.
