 Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
 These are all large items; but the Red Cross is grappling with human misery on an unparalleled scale-a world of 1t. The item for relief of the blind amounts to four hundred thou sand dollars. The dispensary service sends supplies to more than thirty-four hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re ceiyes and distributes more than two hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris. For this distribution and it's other work 1t requires q big transportation service of motors and trucks. This transportation service has cost a mil. lion and . half, and its operating ex. penSes run to million dollars.
 Every dollar it spends means misery alleviated. Its work is building abroad for the United States the best good will in this world. It Is building the best good will among ourselves. Whatever else the war may produce, we shall be proud of our Red Cross.

Last summer the public subscribed q hundred million dollars to the Red Cross At the latest statement over propriated.
 Where has 1t gone? you ask For many months the world has been spending over hundred million dol lars day for the destruction of life, limb and means of subsistence. Call up what you have read about the wars devastation. The American Red Cross enormous job is tO do whatever 1t can to alleviate that-nOt after the war, not after governments have deliber- ated and resolved: but right now, at the minute, on the spot. It's amazing money.
 Last autumn the Italian army fell hack precipitately. On your war map that meant rubbing out one line and drawing another half an inch further south. Over there in Italy 1t meant thousands of poor families fleeing from their homes Major Murphy, Red cross Commissioner Tn Europe, rushed to the scene and wired: "Indescribably pathetic conditions exist, involving separation of mothers and children, cold. hunger, disease, death."

GERNAuS PREPARING
 TO.LAUNCR BLOW
Moving Up Men and Guns, While Ouiet Continues in the Vest Eyperts Believe Effort Will be Made at Apex of Triangle.

New York, May 13.-Germany's re- .,mntion of the gigantic offensive oosinst the allies on the west front bas not vet materialized. In various ,oc+ors there have been local opera lions which have no bearing on the ,;+nation as a whole. But along the entire front there is a quiet that m;oht be encouraging were it not tnown that the Germans are moving m men and guns for new move ment in the mighty drive launched March 2l.
 Field Marshal Haig's report makes snecial note of activity by the Ger man artillery north of Serre. This little town is situated behind the leu tonic lines north of Albert and marks the apex of a triangle, the base of which is the line between Hebuterne and Bucquoy.
 For several weeks military experts have been watching developments in this particular region, because it is a logical point from which the Germans may be expected to launch great turning movement against the Arras sector. During the early days of April, when the allies made a final stand on the line which they now hold, the Germans centered their fercest drives on Hebuterne and the wooded hills to the south and west. They failed to advance further and later lost ground to the allies at this point.
 The country west of Hebuterne is quite hilly, with many steep ridges, which afford admirable defensive po- sitions. North and northwest, how ever, the country is moderately level with long, undulating ridges which might be stormed readily by heavy masses of troops.
 Field Marshal Haig mentions con- siderable artillery fire to the north of Kemmel, but here the cannon of both sides have been roaring for weeks.
 The southern portion of the British front has also been under heavy fire rom the heavy enemy guns and this may indicate that the Germans are getting ready for a new effort to reach Amens.
 On the remainder of the Western front the reports tell nothing new.

Washington, May 13.-American officers were inclined tonight to char acterize reports from London via Ot- tawa that American troops will not be used until complete and powerful American army had been developed in France as an echo of the political con- troversy precipitated in England by the incident of General Maurice. They could see no other explanation since the statement attributed to the "war committee" of the British war cabinet was promptly repudiated by Lord Reading, British ambassador here and later declared by Secretary Baker to be at variance with the facts as known here.
 Lord Readings statement said he was confident no such announcement has been issued with the knowledge of Premier Lloyd George, and edded that the views of the British government which he was transmitting were ex- actly opposite. Secretary Baker said American troops are now being used in battle and will continue to be used as the supreme commander, General Foch, deemed best.
 Inquiry at bureaus of the War De- partment showed that the movement of the men to France is proceeding as planned after the announcement that American units would be bri- gaded with French and British divi- sions for inlmediote operations as we'll as training.
