RED GROSS ITEMS

Many letters are reaching the Office
of the General Manager of the Red
Cross, asking why insistence is being
put on the use Of the new American
Red Cross. Chapter label. In some
cases protests have been made against
the extra time and money this re-
quires.
The request to mark. all garments
produced in Red Cross workrooms. it
is explained, came from the Cimmis-
sion in France. The American Red
Cross has won a place in the affection
of the French people, and its minis
trations are deeply appreciated by
them. AS Don as the garments are
distributed they lose their identity as
gifts from the American Red Cross;
and their significance disappears as a
factor in maintaining the morale of
the people by keeping constantly in
their minds that this great power is
standing behind them, caring for and
protecting them while they carry on
their struggle for victory. The Com
mission to France believes this re-
minder will be worth the trouble and
money it will require, and will prove
more than an equivalent for the fnan>
cial expenditure in the message of
courage and assistance it will carry
to the most obscure homes and refu-
gees in France.

On q table In q large room In which
were several American o~ficers-until
recently professors Of chemistry and
noted scientists connected with prOmi-
nent American .corporations-were
several shells, Jars Of liquid, small
containers filled with powder and ev-
cry imaginable thing connected with
the business Of 'killing and safeguard
ing with and against gas attacks"
For gas has become the big element
Of warfare and there Is no telling how
gigantic it may be before the war
comes to an end.
To sit with these experts in killing
and listen to their simple statements
about the possibilities. Of destruction,
and at the same time to know them
as men of finest sensibilitles and hu-
name impulses, Is a sort Of grim reve-
lation Of the terribleness Of this wal
and the appalling Transformation that
Is overcoming at least a part Of hu-
mainly. OF course everyone knows
that Germany started the use Of gas.
She has specialized In the use of gases
Of most deadly character. She has
perfected methods Of spreading these
CHASTITY fumes where soldiers cannot
escape, but must stand or sit and face
death in gas masks. But she has
forced the rest Of the world, as a
means Of self-protection, to enter up
on this cold, calculating, merciless
work Of human destruction. With

DISPATCH RIDERS
ARE PICTURESQUE

The Military Dispatch Riders or
ganization has been developed by
the American expeditionary forces
in France as an additional method
for transmitting communications 1t
is picturesque, and has served to
knit the army more closely together
by the actual physical transmission
of official orders and communica-
tons.
The riders, successors OF the old
type of army couriers and brothers
in spirit of the pony express riders
of the Western plains are intrusted
with the work of keeping the corps
in touch with the divisions, the divi-
sions with the brigade, and the bril-
gade with the regiment for detailed
orders, letters and important pack
ages of papers that cannot be trans
mitted promptly and safely in other
ways.

dened with only a pouch or KNAPP
sack in which the papers are carried

Powerful Screen Drama within the
Law" Answers This Question

Within the Law" Bayard Veil
lers' wonderful drama, which will be
presented at the Rialto Theatre Mon
day and Tuesday, answers the ques-
tion so often asked by the average
layman: "How does he do 1t and
keep out of jail?"
The answer is plain. A clever law
yer can outline some procedure ordi-
narily criminal. but when surround
ed by legal technique, absolutely
proof against criminal procedure.
Alice Joyce, the Vitagraph star, in
the role of Mary Turner, the shop
girl, proves the case. She had been
sent to a prison for term of three
years for a department store theft of
which she was innocent. While serv-
ing her sentence she studies law
She discovers that she can do many
things, absolutely criminal, If she
hides behind the skirt of legal pro-
cedure.
When she is released Mary needs
money. She reads the advertisement
of crooked real estate firm seeking
money for investment Forst obtain
ing the advice of lawyer, she calls
