The members of the local chapter Of
Red Cross have been very active since
the formation of the Chapter and have
made quite number of garments for
the soldier boys and each shipment
has been complimented on the charac-
ter of work, which in point of neatness
and finish has probably been unex-
celled by any other Chapter in Lou
isians. And apropos this subject we
take pleasure in saying that the great
est amount of work, as well possibly
as the neatest, was done by the oldest
member Of the Chapter, Mrs. India
Brown, who despite her SO years, has
done about three times more knitting
than any other member. Since the
Chapter has been organized Mrs.
Brown has made q sweaters, 38 pair
wristlets and 10 mufflers, and few
articles have been received at the
New Orleans headquarters that were
better if indeed as we'll made. Despite
her advanced age Mrs Brown is active
and energetic and as filed with the
martial spirit to-day with the Stars
and Stripes waving over our South
land as she was in 81 when the Stars
and Bars floated in the breeze.

By Vice Admiral Besson, of the
French Navy.
On these occasions which I describe
to you / saw only a little of the Amer
lean life; but what | did see very
clearly, and what the whole world has
seen, is the magnificent spirit Of q
great people throwing itself into the
strife at the command of its chief
even though it's own interests were
not directly touched-on behalf OF q
friendly people who only ask for
peace and the chance to work and
who even had, some years before,
tried to diminish the size of their own
army; and who were unjustly at
tackled by a predatory nation eager to
seize the riches of others and to de-
stroy them by unspeakable tyranny,
to annihilate them i'm order to take
their place in the sun.
And here am taking part in man.
Hesitation of the charity of the same
American people. Their soldiers now
pour out their blood, for it was not
enough for them to throw their gold
into the furnace. They want to come
to the help of the victims Of the war,
and in this work which they have I'M
dertaken we find all their common
sense and ingenuity. What the Amer
lean Red Cross is doing you know as
well as do; there is no need of talk
ing about it. 1t does not talk-it acts.
1t spreads its benefits around arous-
ing admiration throughout the whole
Of France. Future centuries can say
that if this war has shown us barbara
ty in it's most horrible form, it has
also shown us charity in its greatest
beauty.

GIANTS LEAVE west

McGraW Clan Ends Very Disas-
trOuS Trip-Mann and Kim Clash

Chicago, May 28.-The Giants lost
the final same of their first Wcstern
trip of the season to the Cubs yester-
day afternoon by to 8 and completed
one of the most disastrous tours in
the history of the team. They no"
hold q lead of only one game in the
National league race.
The defeat was the most pronounced
of the series. Not only were the
Giants vanquished as a team, but also
individually in the case OF Heinie
Zimmerman, who, smarting under the
lash of successive defeats, engaged in
a test of strength with Leslie Mann.
Had decision been made on points
it would have gone to Mann
This bout took place in the third
session, but was stopped by the other
players before there was decisive
result. Mann was on second base and
Hendrix hit hard grounder toward
Tim. Mann, running at top speed,
dashed for third, and Zim, who had
had some trouble fielding the ball,
made an effort to put the ball on the
flying Mann.
AS Zim was on the base line Mann
catapulted into the Giant third base
man and nearly knocked him off his
feet, Zim dropping the ball. The lat
ter then aimed a right hook at Manns
jaw, but Mann neatly pinned Zim's
arms and prevented the blows land
ing. Several other players compelled
the combatants to "brcak clean with
out a blow and the fracas ended.
