RED CROSS WILL
HAVE BIG PARADE
SATURDAY MAY Is

Plans have been made by the Am
erican Red Cross for the biggest ma
tion-wide series of parades ever held
on one day. Fifteen hundred cities
and towns are included in the plans
which contemplate the participation of
more than five million men and wom-
en-. These parades will be held on
Saturday, May IS, two days preceding
the second Red Cross Campaign to
raise one hundred million dollars for
war relief.
Red Cross nurses will have the place
of honor in the parades. This is be-
cause the arduous and heroic labor to
which the nurse is assigned, and fur
thermore, since nursing was the funda-
mental service on which the organiza-
ton was founded, she symbolizes in
the public mind the spirit of the Red
Cross as nothing else can.
The nursing section will be led by
members of state and local committees
preceded by banners giving the total
number of Red Cross nurses from the
particular city or county on active duty
with the army and navy, or directly
under the Red Cross A Red Cross
nurse bearing a Red Cross service flag
with blue stars representing the num-
Der on active duty will also precede
the uniformed nurses.
! A number of different uniforms
showing the scope of Red Cross nurs-
ing service, will be in line. The
nurses in the military hospitals of this
country will wear the regulation white
uniform with blue cape and Red Cross
cap. Those on European service will
wear their street uniform-blue' serge
suit with ulster, dark blue hat, and
! tan shoes. There will also be a ser
vice uniform of grey crepe, white coll
lars and cuffs and Red Cross cap; the
rainy day uniform or fong rubber coat
and hat; the tropical aa.,lifFoni OF pom
gee suits; panama hat, tan shoes, long
blue veil, mad the dark blue uniform
of the Town and County Nursing Ser
vice After these will come the Pub
Health nurses, who are on duty in the
zones surrounding the cantonments.
Then there will be the nurses on spe-
! cal service who will wear a chevron
on their sleeves. They will be follow
ed by the Home Defense nurses, avail
able for special duties in their home
localities. They wear special Red
Cross badge and a white hat, but not
the regulation Red Cross uniform.
/ Closing up the nurses line will be
the dietitians in uniform, including
the First Aid students and the depart
ment of Red Cross instruction.
The second section of the pageant
will be the chapter members of the
women leading. This section will
close with a Human" Red Cross in
marching line consisting of women
women forming the Red Cross flag.
Those in red read-dress will form the
cross with others in white Red Cross
uniforms making the field.

CONVICT
THRU TRAIN WINDOW

Vienna, Jan II. The negro, Time
Lester, who sawed his way to freedom
from one of the convict cages at Flynt
River about two months ago making
good his escape never stopping until
was apprehended at Hartford, Conn,
few weeks ago. Warden Slade was
notified CT the negroes presence there
and left, as soon as the legal proceed
ings necessary for returning him could
be arranged, to bring him back. The
warden had no difficulty in locating
him and was well on the way back to
Docly with him when Lester decided
to take another desperate chance for
liberty. They were aboard fast
train, nearing Salisbury, n c., when
the negro who was handcuffed and
sitting in the smoker with the warden
burst out the glass window and leaped
through to the ground. If he escaped
with his life it was miraculous as the
train was going at full speed, there is
slight possibility, however, that the
deep snow which covered the ground
might have prevented the jump from
proving fatal Warden Slade left the
train at the next station and wired au-
thorities to look out for Lester dead
or alive. Nothing has beenheerd form
him yet
The negro was up for six months
fer disturbing divine worship and had
several charges against him for which
he was to be tried He is said to have
left two wives in this county to mourn
his departure and another in Conneti-
cut, whom he had annexed as he pass
ed through New York en- route to that
Haven Of happiness" or so thought
to be by most Southern negroes, from
which he did not hope to return so
soon.

DOG Bits WIHElgEs
CHILD AND NEGRO

Vienna, Jan II. A dog supposed to
be affected with hydrophobia was di- |
rectly and indirectly responsible for
a considerable amount of damage to
several individuals Sunday afternoon. |
So far as is known the animal be- |
gan its mad career on the National
Highway making it's first attack on
the shall daughter of Mr. and Mrs. viii
Bragg who live about three miles out
inflicting a slight flesh wound. From
there The dog proceeded to the home
of Mr.. j. P. Heard and engaged in a
fight with two dogs there. Not sus-,
pecting the dog of being rabid, David
Nealy, Mr., Heard's chauffeur, inter
fered in the fight and was bitten by
the animal. When Mr.. Heard learned
what had happened he inferred from
the action of the dog that it was mad
and dispatched David and Willie,
Barnes, another negro on the place,
with the car and a gun to overtake
and kill it before further damage was
done. The negroes followed the dog
! coming upon it a short distance from
the home of Mr. Parker, they killed it
/ and put it in the car and proceeded to
the forks Of the road just in front OF
where Mr. Parker lives to turn around
1t was about seven o'clock in the
evening and Mr. Parker hearing the
shooting and evidently suspecting the
! occupants of the car to be out rowdying
for past time went out on the porch
and aimed a shot from a A at the car
the bullet ranging through the
heavily upholstered back of the front
seat and lodged in the shoulder OF
the Barnes negro. The wound is
he thought himself safe from discovery
The head Of the dog has been sent
to the Pasteur Institute at Atlanta
and if it is found to be affected with
rabies the child and the negro will be
given immediate treatment

FRENCH RECEIVE WILSON'S
 NOTE WITH FAVOR

Paris. Oct. 24.-The official com ment to The Associated Press on Pres ident Wilson's .renly to German can be summarized as follows:
 President Wilson's latest ansyer resolves the whole thing into a mili- tary question which can be decided by t'och. Haig and Pershing
 The ation. however, is virtual " unchanged. though the exchange 6f notes has given an insight into affairs in Germany and has perhaps hastened her internal reforms. The next answer will have. to he a military answer from her military authorities.
 "The French people feel that the question of the internal government of Germany is not so important as an assurance against a recurrence of Ger many's militaristic policies, which pre- cipitated the war
 "We do not know how sincere Ger many is about her international re- forms. We have reason to doubt the sincerity of her aims in this direction The great thing for us is to make sure that things shall not again be in the same position as before the war.
 An almistice is almost impossible as the conditions would be so un- imaginably drastic. An armistice would be full of danger if not guarded by all sorts of conditions"
 The feeling prevails in genera among French officials thar the latest note from the president of the United States is just what the allies have been wanting to force upon the ene- my

SENATOR WEEKS REPLIES TO
 CRITICISM OF DAVID 1. WALSH

Boston. Oct. 24.-Senator John w. Weeks, speaking at a dinner today of the Massachusetts club, replied to DOT lions of the speech of his opponent in the senatorial campaign, former Gov ernor David L Walsh, before the dem ocratic state convention in Worcester yesterday.
 My democratic opponent said that I was leader of a coterie of republi- cans in congress who had been in- strumentai in preventing the adoption of a governmental owned steamship policy before the war" said the sena- tor. T think he does me altogether too much honor in saying that am a | leader. He does not say what that policy was, how it originated, or how i it would have resulted. AS a matter of fact, before that time, l had intro duced a bill in the senate providing that army and navy transports which l in times of peace, were not needed for army and navy transport purposes
 should be used in providing trans 1 portation line from the Atlantic coast | to the west coast Of South America until private capital came in to cover
 the field.
 1 It seemed a good proposition and
 was unanimously adopted by the sen ate. It went to the house, went to the
 committee controlled by the democrats and never reappeared."
 The senator said that he would continue to be independent and to ex-
 ercise his own judgment as to wha
 was best for the state and nation

attack
 The Germans in this region continue to use numerous machine guns to re- tard the advance of Field Marshal Haig's men, and the artillery of both sides is violently active, British avia- tors are materially aiding the offensive by dropping bombs behind the line or flying low and cutting troop forma- tions to pieces with machine gun ire.
 South of the Disc river the French are making sharp thrusts against the enemy with the intention of clearing out the entire triangle between Fla vigny and Montcornet and taking all the railroad lines within this region and also plotting out the salient that still exists there. The Germans are strongly counter attacking on all the fronts of attack, but the French have warded off their efforts to regain lost territory and have gained ground south of Montcornet, one of the principal railway functions in this region.
 North of Grand Pre- and north of Verdun, in the sector lying between the Mouse river and north of the Ar gonne forest, the Americans have cut further, and deeply, into the enemy's | line, despite the continued extremely heavy use of machine guns and artil- lery by the Germans.

BANKS TO INCREASE MARGINS
 ON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

New York Oct 24-New York banks
 were today advised by the Liberty loan
 committee to increase their margins
 on stock transactions from 20 to 50 per cent This action was reccm-
 mended by the money committee of the
 Liberty loan committee as an alterna-
 tive to advancing money rates in order to conserve banking resources for financing the fourth Liberty loan pay n1entS.
 Adoption by the banks of the rec ommendation, to be effective Nov. 4, will have the effect of further re- stricting the use of funds for stock ! speculation, a restriction which the committee sought to bring about some ftinae ago by requiring stock exchange members daily to report their borrow l ings from the banks, on stock ,collat 1 eral There is to be also a ''cerre- l sponing increase in margins on other i loans.
 Benjamin Strong. governor of, the i federal reserve bank and chairman of I. the money committee, in letter tc i President Noble of the stock ex- change. notifying him of the recom- mendation, said that reports made by members Of the stock exchange showed
 a considerable increase in loans. The financing of the fourth Liberty loan,4 the letter said, will impose a ! heavy burden upon the credit resources l of the country materially larger thar 1 the financing of any previous loan and i the future financial requirements o1 | the government will impose further heavy burdens upon the money mar ket.
 Tt is for this reason primarily tha' the money committee urges the bank: to increase the rate of margin to 3t per cent, thereby avoiding an advance ! in money rates"
