Governor T. W. Beckett last SUNDAY

the Gover-.cr averred, for en1ni,y

unwisdom for the State to under

1t would &c the height of folly for
the churches to assume the ohliga-

times by Russian disruption and
illiteracy.
But can such headway be
made in southwestern Europe?
If we judge by the past we are
safe to assume the negative.
France and Itaiy are not like
Russia. The French know the
Hohenzollerns for the cut
throats that they are. They
harbor no illusions as to what
an inconclusive peace would
mean. They are an educated
people and cannot be duped as
the benighted Slavs were
duped. They are as brave a
people as the world has ever
seen and they are more re-
sourceful individually than are
the Germans. In many respects
the same thing is true of the
Italians. On top of this France
and Italy are close geographi-
calIy and commercially and
they are linked closely to Eng
land and America through al
lied control of the seas. There
is therefore possibilities of CO.
operation between these four
powers such as was never pos
sible in the case of Russia. This
cooperation instills confidence
in each nation and the entrance
into the war of America with
fresh troops and unlimited
supplies gives all tonic needed
to stiffen the courage. of those
who have held back the foe
for three years. The kaiser
cannot break down the morale
of his western foes as he did
the morale in Russia. His ef-
forts at intrigue are more like
ly to help the allies than to
hurt them. - The world-be
poisoner when discovered by
his foe has a foe to beware in
deed.

RED CROSS SEWING
is OF GREAT VALUE
General Pershing Advises Acceptance
of Its Offer to Make 100000 Com
VaIeSccnU Uniforms.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IL
FRANCE, March "a cablegram
just forwarded to the surgeon general
at Washington mentions the great
value of the garments volunteer Red
Cross workers are making in the
United states for the American expe-
dictionary forces. The message con-
tains- Gen. Pershing's appreciation
OF the work done. 1t recommends
that the medical department accept
an offer of 100. 900 convalescent uni
forms which has been made by Am
eriCan women.
General Pershing calls attention to
the fact that the medical department
is buying great quantities of pajamas
operating gowns, bathrobes and con-
valesceht suits in the open market,
when the Red Cross has offered TO
supply the articles gratis. This is
likely to result in duplication of the
supply and an unnecessary demand
for tonnage.
General Pershing says the work
done by American women is of serv-
ice in promoting the morale of the
army, and also is of value because it
releases commercial labor for other
purposes.
