One HUNDRED MERCTFUL MILLIONS
By HERBERT KAUFMAN

ONE Hundred Millions for the Red Cross and not one
penny Of it for red tape.
The mightest charity, the noblest and broadcast
volunteer movement Of history.
The Red Cross shares no enmities. serves no flag but It's
own. 1t is Gods agent, His healing, merciful will-the
answer of twenty ever-gentler centuries to red barbarism.
Twelve million orphan children are wandering about
Europe-twelve million frightened little boys and terrorized
little girls, sent adrit to sob alone and perish in the wastes
Ia live like swine and die like ours. unless magnificent
America ranSoms them from death-and worse.
How many Of your plying dollars will search the desc
lationS and save them Tor Tomorrow's works
The Red Gross needs another Hundred Million. to CLEAN
the battle areas for this precious seed before it rotS in mind
and body-before grief and horror and disease and unre-
strant irrevocably blight them.
One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stiac pcsti-
lence, to stamp Out hideous levers. TO check an earth-wide
wave of tuberculosis, to destroy Shuddering flths where
verminouS plaques feed and breed and threaten all the uni
verse.
One Hundred Millions 10 found hospitals and build rest
stations. to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to
forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy
medicines and operating Instruments. to reeducate the mutt
lated and show the blind where Hope still shines
One Hundred Millions to mainAin communication with
detention camps, to provide war prisoners with food and
decences, to take messages out and bring letters in. to
negotiate comforts and privileges for the captured, to buy
blankets for them and clothes and books and tobacco.
One Hundred Millions for No Mans Land-for stretchers
and ambulances. for anesthesia and bandages and anti
septics; to train nurses and orderlieS. TO outfit and transport
skilled specialists, to make sure that a dear one shall have II
clean. sweet cot and a sweet, clean girl from home beside IT,
One Hundred Millions to keep The world sound aud
wholesome. while the armies of Justice hold il safe.

M'ADOO MAY
HAVE TO USE
HIS AK AGAIN
Other Railroad Officials
Besides Presidents
Hinder Progress.

When Director General McAdoo at
one stroke Of his pen removed every
railroad president in the United
States he did exactly what he fore
cast he would do shortly after he
was named by President Wilson to
undertake his herculean task.
had a long talk with him at
hatrtime and no question SO stirred
his ire as this one: what assur-
ance have you that the railroad Of
ficials. used to Wall street banker
control and resenting the new order
of things. will not lie down on your"
I suggested that they might have
every incentive In the world because
IL government control should be a
bad failure IL would kill any move
ment for government ownership.
"They Dare Not Lie Down."
McAdoo didn't discuss govern
ment ownership. But the question
brought him to his feet and. as
he answered, he punctured his sem
tences by humping his fist on the
table accenting his words: The
railroad presidents won't dare lie
down on me as the representative
of the government and people of
tne OHlteu Sldtcs. II Iney Try IL
will remove them so quickly. 1t
will make their heads SWIM"
Well some of them evidently did
dare to lie down on McAdoo and
true to his prediction of months
ago he has removed them so quick
ly their heads are still swimming.
But what McAdoo has done has
been merely to apply the ak to the
top. ! predict he will have to do
further and take more drastic ac-
ton.
Necessarily in running the rail-
roads McAdoo has to rely largely
upon men trained in the railroad
business. And that is one of his
chief troubles.
These men were brought up in
the good old cut-throat school
where the motto was Get the busi-
ness-accommodate the country IL
you can. but get the business"
Men educated along these lines
cannot change their tread of
thought over night.
McAdoo's organization Is still
filled with men who have that mo-
nopolistic viewpoint.
Ultimately he Is going to have
to get rid of a lot of them IL the
railroads are to perform their full
transportation task for the ensuing
war wears.

Berne. Switzerland, May 2L-This
lcity. Switzerland's capital, has De-
come the center Of the worlds spy
systems.
Every hotel houses suspicious char

here. The cafes and theaters are
crowded nightly with faces which
have become familiaA since America
entered the war, but were never seen
prior to that.
secret Service Center.
As well as being a hotbed for Ger
man intrigue, Berne Is the mecca for
the secret service agents Of England
France, Russia and nearly all Of II"
allied nations. So serious has the 81
nation become that the governme
has been forced TO take cognizance
it.
A decree has been issued that al
aliens entering Switzerland must re-
port to the police within twenty-four
hours of their arrival and obtain per-
mission to settle in the country. No
alien Is allowed to cross the frontier
unless his passport has been vised by
the Swiss minister or consul Of his
last place Of residence.
This excludes a large number OF
free lance adventurers, but 1t Is inef-
fectual against legitimate secret serv-
ice agents of the belligerent nations.
The governments chief fear is OF
the German spies, for 1t realizes the
danger Of the progress Of Teuton
penetration of Switzerland.
A new institution, financed by
KrUpps, has been established in
Switzerland in the shape Of the Ala
agency C'AusIandanzeigegesellchaft') }.
It's object Is the methodic moulding OF
Swiss public opinion through news
paper advertising and other propagan-
dist methods.
This is only one Of the German at
tempts to sway the Swiss people
against the allies by insidious in
trigues aimed to poison the interna-
tional relations of Switzerland, SINH
lar to those practiced in America prior
to the declaration Of war.

The allies have recognized the Teu-
ton peril in Switzerland and have
taken steps to counteract It. Hence
Berne. the principal neutral capital of
Europe, surrounded by nations eager
to get at each others throats. occu-
pies a unique position among Eu-
ropean cities.
Secret diplomatic warfare contin-
tinually goes on. and the Swiss peo-
pie are wondering how soon it will
drag them into the war.
