RED CROSS NOTES.

Mrs. w. H. Swiggsrt reports al
lotment for knitting to Obion County
Chapter-1,107 sweaters, 1918 pairs
socks; allotment in surgical dress
ings, one case of abdominal bandages.
0bion County Chapter is compliment
ed to receive such large allotments
in all departments, for it shows that
our divisional officers recognize Obion
County's willingness and ability.
Although there is great anxiety
over the influenza conditions, the
workers continue to be faithful in
the workrooms and at their homes,
doing what their hands find to do
with an earnestness and zeal that is
heartening to all who look upon the
busy scenes.
Wives, mothers, daughters and
sweethearts have caught vision of
the need over there and the sacrifices
that are made for us.
The contributions which come to
the treasurer from time to time show
that our men also are awake to the
privilege of furnishing the means
needed by 'The Greatest Mother in
the World"

Dear Father and Loved Ones:
am still well and enjoying the best
of health, and trust you all are the
same. l have just gotten thru eat
ing midnight lunch. / am work
ing at night now and am in Red
Cross hospital. We have somewhere
about forty nurses from the States.
We have had thirty-two patients to
see to, and you may know was kept
on a run. / think perhaps / will
soon go to work in the base hospital,
as most of the patients are conva-
-lescing here. Well, how are the
crops there? Hope you all made
good crops, and guess what you
have to sell will bring fancy price.
You know I haven't seen but few
stalks of corn since I left the States.
The people here don't rGise anything
for feed except oats and hay. They
raise plenty of wheat, but have such
poor way Of saving it. They cut
most of it with the old-time cradle.
Some few have binders and they use
oxen to pull it with, and away they
go. You can imagine that they are
hundreds of years behind the Ameri-
cans, but they get there just the
same. In fact really don't believe
they have ever improved great deal
since the beginning of time. The
houses here are all built of brick or
rock, and there are not any houses
in the country. They are all built
in towns about three miles apart. /
guess you have read about the river
Marine. That is where we boys take
our baths. 1t sure Is deep and as
clear as a crystal. I have seen some
wonderful sights over here, but had
rather be back at Camp Sewer so l
could get furlough home. But !
don't think the war will last much
longer, and then we boys will all get
to go back home to stay, "and what
day of rejoicing there will be-" 1
am going to send German helmet
home just as soon as find a good
one, so you can look for it soon. Are
you getting the paper I sent you. I

TOXIC, Saturday, May 1S.-The mil
itary agreement with China has been
signed. Being military in nature. it is
mot likely the details will be an
nounced. Also it was arranged par
tfcularly to meet the contingency of
possible military action in Russia.
Hopes are entertained that it will be
the forerunner of permanent rap
prochement with China. and therefore
it is regarded as of great historical
moment. Efforts will be continued to
prepare for financial and economic
understanding concerning the devel-
opment of China and, generally speak
ing, for the broad cooperation Of the
two great nations in the orient.
The present accord between China
and Japan is attributed to the nom
oppressive ans insistent tactfulness
of Premier Count Terauchi. 1t is the
first fruit of his belief. expressed
when he assumed the premiership in
October. 1916, that Japan and China
have a common world destiny.

PEKING. Sunday. May 19.-The gov

statement regarding the military
agreement between China and Japan.
"In view Of the circulation of false
reports it is necessary to inform the
Chinese people of the facts of the
negotiations Since the conclusion of
peace between the Russian maxi
malists and the enemy the fear has
existed In Japan and China Of an
eastward intrusion Of German influ-
ence On account of the propinquity
of their territory. the governments
recognized the necessity of a definite
arrangement for joint defense. This
toint defense concerns military move
ments in Siberia and Manchuria and
has no reference to other matters.
The scheme will become null and
void with the termination of the war.
"On the other hand. the convention
will not be enforced unless the in
fuence Of the enemy actually pene-
trates Siberia. 1t is not a treaty.
