In Switzerland some OF this peace
offensive has been borne by Professor
George D. Heron. Notwithstanding
Professor Herron's repeated insistance
that he had no mandate to represent
any government or anybody, the GER
man foreign office could not believe 1t.
The Associated Press correspondent
is informed that DR.. DeJong van Beck
en- Donk, Dutch pacifist, has made
repeated efforts here to forward a mes
sage to Colonel E. NJ. House. President
Wilson's friend and reputed advisor.
The Dutch pacif1st either represented
or pretended to represent DR.. Solf, the
German colonial minister, who met
Colonel House in Germany before Am
erica entered the war. Professor Her
ron declined to transmit the message.
When the last peace offensive began,
Mr. Heron notified friends in all the
allied countries and then the Swiss
press, and in conference in Geneva,
exposed the whole German campaign.
And now Germany, not content with
being at war with America, is making
war Upon the American. Mr.. Heron Is
violently assiled in the German press,
and in the neutral press under Ger
man control. 1t Is asserted that Swift
zerland is the theatre Of vast Amer
ican conspiracy against Germany, and
that the threads Of this conspiracy are
in Professor Herron's hands.
Meanwhile Professor Heron con-
tinues to fight the German propaganda.

The reason for this Is simple. These

seventy Czecho- Sovaks since the war
started have been hanged in Trieste

Therefore the Czecho- Slovall division

Poles Fight With Allies.
An army Of $4,000 Poles recruited
in the United States is fighting side by
side with our own soldiers on the west
ern front of France.
Coming at the apex of our struggle
for democracy, this announcement has
a peculiar interest. It recalls the
memory of Kosciusko and Pulaski and
the aid which they gave to the Ameri-
can colonies in the revolutionary war
It makes the liberty loving Polish peo-
pie once more factor in world politics.
It arrays against the autocratic central
powers yet another small nation, and
makes more possible of realization the
dream of freedom which they have
cherished for almost two centuries.
Ignace Jan Paderewski has been the
moving spirit behind this army Of
American Poles. Already known to the
world as a great pianist and composer,
he has now become great leader of
men, Last fall he Cancelled an i'm
portant concert tour and devoted his
time to gathering the elements Of
Polish army. On Oct. 4, at the Kos
ciusko centenary celebration in Chi
cago, new Polish battle hymn was
sung, both words and music of which
were written by Paderewski. Two days
later our government formally author
lied the recruiting of a Polish army
in the United States, to be composed of
men who were not yet naturalzed and
consequently not draftable. They were
sent to camp at Niagara on the Lake

American Red Cross Now Occupies
Famous Italian Monument.


Padua. Italy, May 26.-(By Mail)-
The Salone or Juris Basilica, one OF the
famous old monuments Of northern
Italy, Is now having its ancient cor
ridors put to new uses as vast sales
room for the American Red Cross. The
sales are held on Sunday afternoon and
as the goods are sold to soldiers fam
lilies at nominal prices. great crowds OF
working people and the peasantry from
the neighboring country districts flock
to the sales.
The rush became so great that the
city authorities had to assign larger
forces of polite to keep the crowds IN
line, and use this monumental structure
so that the big crowds could get full
scope The wide stone corridors on the
second floor were found best suited for
the sales tables, and here the sales
are held, with the venerable establish
ment presenting the appearance OF
huge department store on a bargain
day. The sales netted $500 lire.
The basilica was built nearly thu
sand years ago but is still substantial
stone structure, with vaulted roof
said to have one Of the largest spans
in existence, about ESQ by 100 feet
square and 80 feet high.
One Of the strange features Of the
hall is a gigantic wooden horse probab-
ly erected as model by some OF the
old sculptors, who produced In Padua
some of the earliest examples of bronze
equestrian statues.
Another feature of the old hall is the
ancient stone pillory where bad debtors
were exposed to the public. 1t is in the
midst of these medieval surroundings
that the American Red Cross now car
ries on it's sales, and the throngs of
buyers divide their attention between
the modern bargain counter on one side
and the relics Of the middle ages on the
other.
