RED CROSS TELLS
WHERE DOLLARS GO

The end of this year will see more
than $7O,O00.OOO spent in Francs
alone by the American Red Crops
since the beginning of the war. This
is revealed in statement just issued
by the Red Cross War Council. Near
ly half, of all this money-$34, $685.
S27.57 to be exact-has been apprs-
priated for the last half of 1918.
This was made necessary by the
German attack of last spring which
drove so many poor French families
from their homes. The items Of
civilian relief and reconstruction Of
ruined villages alone have called fer
$5.557 ,605.75 and the end is not IN
sight.
The Red Cross is having to face
the terrible task of combating tuber
culosis among the women, children
and old men of France, especially
among|the thousands who have been
in the hands of the Hun. They pour
back in a steady stream, those toe
old, too worn out or too diseased to
be longer useful to the Germans, and
the Red Cross Immediately takes
them in charge.
There are now 76 tuberculosis hos
pitfalls completed in France, and
acquisitions for goods for SO pre-
visional hospitals have ben approved
and they will be in operation in =
few weeks. These prosional hospitals
have 5,6l0 beds.
The Red Cross now has in France
about 5000 workers, many of WHOM
work for nothing and pay their own
expenses. Many others give their
services free but part or all their ex-
penses are borne by the Red Cross
1t is this care of their wives and
children which so encourages the
French soldiers to fight to the last,
fearless comrades of our own boys.

IN MEMORY

of Carl M. Sorenson, who died at
Camp Devens, Mass.
(By a Friend.)
Dearest Martin thou hast left US,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But tbs God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal
Yes, it's Martin who was taken,
And we know for Christ he
bloomed
And today is lowly lying,
In his dark and silent tomb.
Everything was done to aid him,
But it proved of little worth,
For an angel whispered softly,
Follow me, you are done witt
earth.
Dearest Mother though you miss him
Wipe away the falling tear.
Up in Heavens glorious mansion
You will meet your son so dear.
Though no more in life we see him,
AS we wonder day by day,
Parents, brother and sisteUs miss
him(
But will join with me and say
Martin is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger,
Around dear Martin and his grave.

A French scientist has recently
recommended a comparatively simple
formula for interpreting shoes and
clothing. 1t is a solution of paraffin
and gasoline, the proportion being
approximately one avoirdupois ounce
of paraffin to one quart of gasoline.
For shoes it can be applied warm,
with brush. while clothes can be
dipped into it cold. The solution
tends to preserve the softness and
color of the material. Uniforms can
be treated with it without removing
the buttons or insignia.

DEMOS GROOMING
KEITH NEVILLE
FOR US. SENATE
Mysterious Visit of Senator
Hitchcock This Week Sets
Tongues to Waggi"g as to
the Best Timber.

at is my opinion that John Fl.
Morehead, former governor, is doing
some hard thinking on the subject
of entering the race for United States
SENATOR" commented Mayor Dahlman
during a discussion of the political
rumors that Governor Neville may get
into the senatorial race and Mr.. More
head -play strive TO return to the state
house as governor.
Mr.. Morehead visited the mayors
office this week and was unusually
chatty, giving the impression that
there is a senatorial bee in his mind.
The former governor gave the I'M
prAssion that he has arrived at that
mature age which would lend dignity
to the position of senator and he
added that he never felt in better
physical condition.
Neville or Morehead.
"Mr. Morehead said he was think
ing Of the senatorial ambition, but
had not made up his mind. | think
he is feeling around little and it is
my firm conviction, however, that
should Governor Neville decide to get
into the senatorial race, that More
head would not oppose him. There
fore, it appears to me, that either Ne
Vile OF Morehead will make the race"
said Mayor Dahlman.
The report that the governor is con-
sidering running for senator was
given color by events of the week.
The visit of Senator Hitchcock to
Omaha for a few days is said to have
had some bearing on this political
situation. Neville is generally be-
lieved to be the choice OF the Hitch
cock-Mullen political combination
which is opposed to the idea of Edgar
Howard as senator.
, Arthur Mullen went to Lincoln as
soon as he had conferred with Sen
ator Hitchcock in Omaha and the ma
tional committeeman made straight
way for the state. house, where he
sought the -gubernatorial ear.
Ashton c. Shalenberger NJ. L.
Corey, w. E. ReeG and Congressman
are also being mentioned in
with the senatorial race.
City hall politicians who are close
to the inside of things aver that there
is strong possibility that Neville will
be groomed and that the Hitchcock
Mullen crowd will move heaven and
earth in his behalf.

Horse Draws Baggage Trucks

London, Jan. l2.-The British gov

formal relations with Maxim Litvf-

any possibility in the fight for peace

cepted the German demand that the

The chairman OF the Russian dele.

Trotzky said he had noted the
statement of the central powers that
the basis of a general peace as for

added:

BLIZZARD HITS
CHICAGO: TIES
Up ALL TRAFFIC
City is Isolated From Outside
Communication; Snow is
Blown Into Great Drifts;
ParaIyzes Railroads.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Chicago is iso-
lated from rail communication with
the outside world by one of the worst
billiards in its history.
Its business is paralyzed.
With snow two feet on the level
and swept into great drifts, trains are
neither arriving nor leaving the city.
Surface lines were scarcely able to
move. Telegraph wires were In bad
shape. No milk trains arrived nor
were coal wagons able to move 10
per cent>of the coal needed.
The thermometer dropped to IA de-
grees below zero and a sharp wind
from the northwest added to the suf-
fering. !
Trains Stall in Drifts.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
started three passenger trains out last
night. They were unable to negotiate
the drifts and all were held within
40 miles of the city. Other trains, in
view of this experience, were not
started at all. Other roads took SINH
lar precautions.
Grocers all over the city notified
customers that deliveries would not
be attempted until conditions i'm
prove.
Worst Storm in Years.
"The worst storm we have ex-
perienced," steam road and street rail-
way officials said, because the drift
ilg snow piles back on the tracks
after we clear them" All night, how.
ever, the officials of the several sys-
