Now he has the following speech

Ladies and gentlemen:
1T gives me great pleasure 10 see euch
large audience, but think it is the
subject on which I am to talk. and not
my ability to speak, that brings you
here.
First 1 will tell you how the Red
Cross was originated. 1t was at the
close of the battle Of Solferino. and when
Henri Durant looked over those bloody
fields, he resolved to form society to
bind the wounds on the battlefield.
The American Red Cross was organized
In 1881 by Clara Barton. and later. when
II was recognized by Congress 1t became
the American National Red Cross. The
Red Cross is even now binding the allies
wounds on the battlefield. It's aid to

 Canon Pim. rector of Christ church, I<ingstoWn. sent the following state ntnt to the Irish Times:
 "On Saturday afternoon last there was a bank of clouds on the horizon and against a clear sky above it there appeared for some moments the form of great white cross of absolutely perfect shape. It was seen hy at least four members of my own household as well as hv other people.
 "One of the witnesses described 1t to me that it had seemed to him first 3S if there were d great cloud figure with outstTetched arms which as- Sumed the form of cross. and as the sharpness of its outline passed it seemed to be full of the faces of men and women. It was Just, as It were. over the place where the disaster to the Leinster happened.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY PREPARES.

As the Bridgeport stand ard American explains the situation; Tt is the contention /of Fairfield County Republicans that they have not received in the past d just share in the affairs of the Legislature and this despite the fact that the County was consistently returning sizcable majorities for the Republican ticket In order that they may secure their share in the affairs" the County leaders and the party delegation to the General Assembly intend to hold confab in the near future and plan their campaign.
 Confidence in being able to die tate terms is not lacking. The Fair field County men count on split between the "Ullman croWd' i'll New Haven and the "up-state bunch' as to caucus awards thus leaving the balance of power In the hands of the Bridgeport chiefs Frederick w.

REGULATING "JITNEYS."

Rigid inspection of every automo- bile intended for the carrying of pas sengers is q new proposal by the State Motor FehICIe Department at Hartford, au idea that will be greet ed with public applause. There is no reason why gasoline vehicles em- ployed for transferring people from point to point, even if for a limited distance, should not be in the best of mechanical condition.
 The "jitney" is a new national in Btitution that is fast winning popular favor and it is heavily patronized in mild weather. It has advantages the street car lacks. especially in expe- dtting the trip of a passenger and likewise in it's novelty. Every safe guard should be thrown around the patrons of such service and automo- piles used for the purpose should be in condition to stand unusual wear and tear.

 The Republication, said the Min ister. should be 50 conducted that mil lions of men in the navy and army would have un early 0nnurlunjty of employment. Accordingly a plan ar ranged on industrial requircm ents had been prepared.
 As men are demobilized they will he re-employed in the various indus tries from which they were with drawn to enter the army. There will be special facilities giving access to the land. said pr. Addison, Gardens or larger plots will be provided.
 Councils composed of employers and working men have been organized in forty or fifty different trades .AlrCad these bodies are removing sources of irritation and bringing a spirit of solidarity a better spirit than prevailed under former agreements said the Minister
 Inasmuch as the necessity for pro- ducing as much food as possible will not end with the war, pr. Addi- son said he believed some control over the use of the land would con- tinue to be exercised by the govern ment. Great Britain should manufac- ture nitrates on a large scale.
 The Minister declared that unless care exercised there would be a great deal of speculation while the emobilization of the army was in progress and prices might advance to the great detriment of industry.

AMERICANS HELD IN
 DUGOUT, PRISONERS
Artillery Prevented Their Making
 Escape for Two Whole Days

With the American Forces in France, Nov. .-(Correspondenc of the Associated presS) Wounded and taken prisoners by the Germans and for two days kept in a dugout on the side of q hill which was under Shellhre alternately by the Americans and then by the enemy, two Ameri- can prlvates were rescued by their comrades after forty-eight hours of fighting. Owing to censorship reg ulaIons regarding wounded soldiers 1t is not possible to give the names of the two men.
 The privates were captured in the region of Chateau-Thierry, along the eastern edge of the Argonnc forest just before Chateau-Thierry was cap turned by the Americans While the Germans were endeaVOring to decide what to do with the wounded men the American artillery opened up and the Germans determined in a hurry to remove them to a nearby dugout, and four big Germans crowded in beside them.
 For two days the artillery first of the Americans and then of the Ger mans swept the hill and so intense was the shelling that even the Ger mans did not attempt to escape.
 On the third day the American in fantry began going forward and when the crest of the hill was reached there was rush of the Americans to the place where their two comrades had been wounded in an encounter while making q reconnaissance in the early morning. Leading the men was Captain Howell Foreman of Atlanta. Ga. who had little hope of finding the two men alive.
 One of the Americans heard a sound from within the dugout and one of the detachment, in German. ordered those on the inside to sur render threatening to shower the dugout entrance with hand erenades at once. The reply that came back was m perfectly good American and four husky Germans stepped from the cave with their hands above their heads. \ moment afterward the wounded Americans had come into their own again. Despite Ger man machine gunncrs firing from the edge of the forest and from com manding heights to the nOrth Invest the Americans were carried back over the hill from which they had come more than two days befOre the four Ger man prisoners marching beside them

All Good Americans.

The department of the interior. bureau of education, is trying to dis courage the use of nicknames. eSpec- tally designating certain classes of foreign born Americans.
 ''Dago," 'tKike," ''WOp.' rGreaser,' Mick" Paddy ''SheeneN,' 'Spag hetti" and similar names make no hit with the bureau of education, which maintains that such distinctions tend to promote lines of cleavage between American born and Americanized foreign born persons and groups.
 The bureau is sending out a sug geSted form for a pledge to refrain from the use of such names. Schools and factories will be supplied With proposed pledge. so that American children and adults may stop to think of the undesirability of making sport of anybody because he was not born in this country.

BEATEN BUT NOT SORRY.

Maurice Francis Egan. former United States minister to Denmark, has had unusual opportunities to study the German at close range and he possesses a sound knowledge of the German idea obtained by years spent in proximity to the Ger man court. Respect for his opinion on such matters adds weight to his utterances on the Germany of today and his statement can be accepted as based on truth when he says that Germany has not accepted the scourg- ing with penitence, and at heart is still the same Germany ,conceited, naughty and seIf-confident. Dr. Egan says the Germans would strain every nerve to resume the world struggle" if they believed there was a glimmer of hope in their so doing
 Journalists and diplomatists who have intimately studied Germans since hostilities were halted are agreed that the enemy has not q jot of sorrow in his breast for the ds- struction he has wrought and the suf- fering he has caused. That is one re- narkable effect of the war. Germany has been defeated on the field of bat tie, but the German mental attitude

PLYMOUTH AND BREST.

Nearly three hundred years ago the year 1920, to be exact-there landed on the Massachusetts shore at a spot where the village of Plymouth later was built a band of stout-heart- ed, God-fearing wanderers who had sea to exercise their right of self de- termination in religious affairs. They were the Pilgrims.
 Today, at Brest, France, there land ed an individual, also stout hearted and God-fearing. whose sole purpose in crossing the Atlantic in an easterly direction is to plead the cause of self determination of races. He is Wood row Wilson, President Of the United States of America, a nation to which the Pilgrims of 620 contributed no little share. He is the Pilgrim of 1918, bearing the torch of freedom into the European wilderness, where, like in our prilnevaI American forests in the seventeenth century, might has been right and where the strongest, not the best, have survived.
 To millions of heretofore enslaved people in Europe. Woodrow Wilson symbolizes the most cherished posses sion of man-lfberty. Into the dark ness of their lives he came bearing Q message of hope and lighting the pathway and today he appears in per son to guide them toward their goal Whole nations, in the chains of poli- tieal and economic bondage for gen. crations, look upon him as their de- liverer. His word, supported by the moral and unselash force of the United States, is the sword that chal- lenges their oppressors and that will hew down racial bigotry in order that men may be free and equal
 Europeans planted the seed of justice and freedom in America, and today America returns the gift hun- dred fold.
