SOME STRINGS ON
RED CROSS GIFTS
Eighteen Dollars Given for Relic!
of the Chinese in
:. France.

One Of the least known phases OF
the Red Cross is the accounting.
In q talk recently given at Red
Cross luncheon by the Deputy Comp.
troller. a most interesting phase of
this branch Of Red Cross work was
brought out in the story Of the re.
stricted gifts.
The fact that person makes a re-
stricted gift to the great Red Cross In.
dicates that that person is particularly
anxious to know that his or her money
reaches definite piece Of work in this
war relief.
Every penny that comes into the Ret
Cross has to be balanced on an edge
to see into just which of the more
than FIVE hundred accounts it shalt
drop. When that penny comes in ID
must be spent In just the way the
donor wishes.
On the very day the Comptroller
spoke, there had come in a restricted
gift from little Sunday school In Z
small California town-$18 to be sY,en:
for relief Of Chinese in France-nct
$1S to be spent for relief Of Chinese.

You may get an idea Of the amount
Of business conducted with the Red
Cross funds in this unofficial work OF
Mercy when you learn that the cIea,.
ance of the Red Cross for the month
Of February was greater than the

THE HEROISM OF MERCY
By OPIE READ

There is no greater heroism than the
heroism of mercy. There is no truer
bravery than the bravery of tenderness.
Out of the crash of nation against nation
arises Christ-like sympathy, and the
insignia of it's tenderness is the cross of
red. 1t is the only remaining glow of a
Christian hope. 1t is religion under
shell fire. 1t is sigh set to the music
of sympathetic action. If a man who
speaks truth should say to you, "With
the use of five dollars you can save a

STOMACH UPSET?
/ Get at the Real Cause Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment = clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in soothing, healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-carc feeling. no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub.
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are e
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.

TRAINING TOO SEVERE
Dlvisionni Medical Omcer Thinks II Re-
sponsible for Prevalence OF Dis
eases mt Camp Travis.
fBy Associated press.1

fBy Associated Press.1
SAN ANTONIO, TEN, March &C.
The theory that the prevalence Of pneu-
monia. mumps. measles and miidcr dis
eases at Camp Travis was due in part
to decreased resistance as result OF
too intensive training OF recruits. has
been advanced by Major Joseph Heller.
suit lie has recommended that training
for the men of the second draft during
their first month shall be much milder
than that received by tho men Of the
first draft. II his recommendations are
adopted. the next contingent will have
only light drills and exercises for n
month in order to permit them TO re-
adjust their muscles TO the more ac-
tive demands Of an out of doors life.
Major IIcller's Investigations have
shown. 1t was said. that In many cases
incipicnt ailments have developed un-
der the extreme changes from civilian
routine to the hard drill in camp.
Each case of pneumonia that has de-
veloped since the arrival Of the first
increment OF selected men is being in
vestigated. Already l04 cases have
been examined and the causes respon-
sible for them have been tabulated.
Most CT the cases had been preceded
by bad colds. it was learned. Some Of
| the men had slept in the upper stories
OF the barracks. others had slept with
their heads too near open windows.
Sudden climatic changes also were
held partly responsible for the preva-
lence Of disease. In one case in Jan
uary the thermometer dropped TO 30
degrees from IS within a few hours
chilling the men and lowering their
resistance to disease.

IMMATURE ALMANAC.
GUYNEMER MAY BE ALIVE
French Military Authorities Reopen
Inquiry to Determine Whether
Famous Avintor Is Really Dead.

tcorr.spondence OF Associated Press)
PARIS. February ll.-Whi!e belief
at the War Office is strong that Cap
tain George Guynemer, noted French
aviator. is dead. reiterated reports that
he IS still alive are responsible for the
decision o. the military authorities to
reopen the Inquiry. in order that ALL
doubts may be set at rest and out OF
respect for persons whose hopes have
been revived.
One CT the reports is that Guynemer
fell behind the German lines. but was
picked up by Belgians, who are de-
clarcd 10 be shclte.ing him from the
enemy. presumably until an opportunity
is afforded him TO escape to France.
Another rumor says nc is in a hos
p,tal at Brussels. IL Is recalled by the
aviato-'s friends that there have been
numerous instances OF soldiers reap
pcar,ng many months after being
,ncurned as dead.
Guyncmer whom army records credit
with having brought down iifty-three
German machines. was reported last
september as having been killed in a
battle with German aviators near Peel
cappelle. \ German airman taken
prisoner by Canadians told this story.
Subsequent reports had him buried at
various places. including Poelcappelle
and Brussels, each time with enemy
honors So confident were some Of his
associates that he was dead that they
held memorial services for him last
November.

THE REDEMPTION OF GERMANY
BY DR.. A A


Princes sometimes profit 10y war, people never says Cotton.
The principle that we will have to keep in mind cannot hr too
often nor too clearly stated. II is that tins war was brought on by the
rulers of Germany, by a caste and class that had subdued and cowed
the common people by a long and ingenious program of subtle ellie
icncy. They had convinced the people that their only hope of arcur-
ry aud prosperity was To follow the evil leadership of those IN conf
mHnd.
IIypnotizcd by this doctrine the masses of Germany followed their
blind guides to destruction.
This war will not be won until the German people are undcccivcd.
The central problem of the war is what SO do with the German
populacc aud with the millions of the common people IN Austria and
Turkey.
We cannot cxtcrminate them. W. cannot torture then. Nor
carry them away into slavery. Such things are mthnkable. We can
not visit upon the dcludrd masses the vengeance due to those who
dcluded them.
II is no less than the characterization of the people of Central
living with them in the world. aud that there is 10 be no decent living
with any nation hereafter unless the government of that nation cX.
presses the will Of It's people.
1t is not because we are particularly in love with the German
people that we wish 20 set them free; it IS in ~sclfdeicnsc, or rather
II $ a matter of self protection.
President Wilson has graspcd this idea and more than once has
alluded 10 IL. He has made II plain that the terms of peace must DO
such rs shall involve some sort Of representative government in Ger.
many.
This is not because we wish To Interfere Will Germany internal
affairs, not because we think we are wiser than they and want To tell
them how 10 run their government. II is because with the kind OF
government they have had they are a menace to civilization.
Macmillan Harden, IN his latest book, War and Peace, says;

The Night After an Election Is a Good Time to Take Stock:

agencies. Our claims have been put forward by
factions of both parties. We have lacked the union
which is absolutely necessary to get us anywhere
in public business.
II is true that we have needed political house
cleaning here in past years. But We have had IT.
Our Bcrnalilo county government for a number of
years past has been both clean and efficient. But
having attained the detectives of our first, and our
really necessary political rows, We have failed 10
rise To the level of the results. We have kept right
on with our personal quarrelA and as a result in.
dividuals in both parties who are not aversc to
turning tn other fellow S%quabbleS 10 personal
advantage. have kept our quarrels alive.
Our difficulty has been that while our party
leadership in both parties works all the time, W. OF
the rank aud file do not take our politics scriousi T,
enough between seasons and we take il far too ser
iously. or at least too vigorously during the brief
periods of campaigns when no mans judgment is
entirely normal.
The campaign closing tonight has been by lar
the clcuncst in recent years. 1t has lacked much OF
the bitterness aud mudSlinging of former cam.
paiens. II has stuck moderately well tn the truth
and the evidence. As regards the county candidates
no one has been hbcled and no bitter personal ru.
mites have. on should have been engendered.
The present, therefore, is n good time TO take
stock to consider the past with care TO examine
into what We have hccn able 10 get for Alhuqucrpuc
and our county out of the ~factional s%quabhles OF
our leaders. II is a good time SO resolve that la
future Bernalillo county shall operotc in politics
less on the basis of personal sclfiShncss and more
on the basis of community welfare. II we will work
