PERSHING SAYS RED
CROSS IS ESSENTIAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-Work of
the American Red Cross for the SOL
diers of the American eXpeditionary
forces, is commended by General
Pershing, in a statement issued from
his headquarters in France and made
public at Red Cross headquarters, in
connection with the Christmas mem
bership campaign. In expressing for
the troops over seas, appreciation Of
the service rendered by the Red Cross,
General Pershing said:
THE American Red Cross is the
recognized national organization for
relief work with the army and navy in
time OF war. 1t is through this or
sanitation that the men and women
Of Amsrica contribute their funds and
their labor for the relief and comfort
of the men in service. To the millions
of women whose hearts and hands are
consecrated to the service; to the mil
lions Of the men, rich and poor alike,
throughout the country, who have
contributed and sacrificed, and even
to the millions of children of our
schools, who are doing their part, 1t
should be made clear, that the relief
and comfort contributed by them
through the American Red Cross to
the men in service is essential

BRITISH TROOPS SHOW
THEY MEAN BUSINESS

COLOGNE, Monday, Dec. 16.-(By
the Associated Press)-Last night and
the night before the Germans expert
mented with mild defiance of martial
law, as instituted by the British TROOPS
of occupation, and. paid the penalty
Of their indiscretion.
When the British issued their edjct,
that the civilians, with certain oxcep-
tons must be off the streets at seven
olock in the evening. and then, think
ing this too severe, altered the hour to
nine o'clock, many persons decided
that the order was a ma-e formality
and meant nothing.
Saturday night was the first time
that the rule was rigidly enforced. At
that time some 200 civilians, who were
parading the streets, were rounded up
by the military police. Yesterday these
persons were tried and each was fined
ten marks.
Last night the performance was C.
newed. At o'clock large numbers OF
persons were promenading abouT tn,
streets. Some tardy ones Undoubtedly
were unwittingly breaking the law
but many of them made the infraction
quite apparent. These persons even
looked at the street clocks and laughed
They soon found out however, that
business was intended. A Gordon OF
military police was thrown out and
every person was compelled to show
a pass, or give their names, or answer
to a summons for today. Several hun
bred men and women will be tried
today.

TO TEST DELIVERY OF
LIQUOR IN COLORADO

DENVER, Colo, Dec. Illegal pro-
ceedings to determine the right of the
American Railway Express company to
deliver liquor shipments, for which
permits were issued under the Horton
lnaw, which was superseded last mid
night by the new bone dry prohibit
ton law, were begun today, through
the arrest of Carlton G. Kohankle, a
clerk employed by the company, and
Carl F. Heinrich, possessor of a per-
nit, on a warrant issued in justice
court.
The arrests were made at the COM
pany's office, when delivery of liquor
shipped under permits was resumed.
Both men were Immediately released
on a writ of habeas corpus obtained
by the company.
At the same time Attorney General
Leslie E. Hubbard and District Attor-
ney William E. Foley applied for an in
junction to prevent the express COM
pany making further deliveries. The
company waived summons SO an early
hearing of the case might be obtained,
and agreed that no further deliveries
would be made pending a decision by
the court.
When the company ceased making
deliveries, the offices were crowded
with permit holders and long lines had
been formed in the street adjacent to
the office.

BERNIE, Dec. 17.-Lieutenant James
Duke of Washington, Lieutenant Cas-
sius Styles of Willsboro N. Y, and
Lieutenant Robert Raymond of New
ton Center, Mass, have arrived in
Switzerland from a German prison
camp on their way to France. These
officers are attached to the American
aviation service
The Americans informed the Red
Cross that the Russians at Rastatt
Germany, were dying at the rate of
about six or eight daily of starvation.
The Americans were given rifles by
the German guards to protect their food
stores from the Russians, who threat
ened to raid the American compound,
they said.
The American cemetery at Rastatt
has nine graves.
The German guards left the gates of
the camp open for the Americans to
escape, but an American sergeant post
ed American CARDS around the COM
pound and compelled the prisoners to
await the arrival of the Red Cross and
American sanitary trains from Swift

Herbert Jones of the 10th infantry
declared to the American Red Cross
that German sergeant major at Ian

oners on the face with the flat of his
sword, without reason, after lining
them up for roll call. Jones himself
was kicked by guard until the lower

RUSSIAN PROBLEM
DEMANDS ATTENTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Rus
sian problem already has been taken
up by President Wilson with French
statesmen, it was learned here today.
and the determination of definite
policy on which all the allied countries
and the United States may agree, will
be one of the first things undertaken
at the preliminary meetings which are
to precede the peace conference.
Russias plight, and the attitude to
be adopted by the victorious nations,
is recognized as one of the most SER
ious problems of the conference. Ev-
cry proposed solution, SO far, is said to
have been blocked by the unanswered
question of who is qualified to speak
for the Russian people.
The government at Omsk, of which
the United States and other govern
ments have expected much, is in the
hands of dictator and split into fac
tons. The entente nations have not
given up hope that the Omsk authori-
ties may yet evolve stable form of
government for Russia, but this has
not been accomplished.
Prince Lvoff, who was premier in
the Kerensky cabinet, and who has de-
voted most of his life to the develop
ment of the ZemStvo system in Russia,
and Boris Bakhmeteff, Russian ambas-
sador in Washington, appointed by
Kerensky, as well as Prof. Paul Milu-
koff, kerensky'S minister of foreign af-
fairs, are on their way to Paris, or al
ready there, with other prominent Rus
slams, to do whatever they can to aid
the allies in the solution of the Rus
sian problem.
Allies in Quandry
yxrH 81 ~fl o1
MID as Russian spokesman, the United
States and the allies must face the
great question of how they can be
aided in setting up a stable govern
ment and in preventing famine, for the
benefit of Russia herself, and in the
interest of the peace of the world. I'm
til the armistice was signed, troops and
supplies could be sent to Russia only
through Siberia, a distance two thirds
of the way around the world, or by
Archangel, which was not feasible for
extensive operations, because of trans
portation facilities. Now, however, the
Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the rail-
road lines through German and Aus
TRAN territory offer better means. 1t is
believed by officials here that the land
route through Germany and Austria
would be the best and most practical
way of reaching Russia.
1t is stated that in considering
whether a joint expedition should be
sent to deal with, and thereby interfere
with, Russia's internal Affairs, the rep
resentatives of the United States and
the allies must decide whether the boil
shevik movement is such a serious
menace to civilization as to justify ex-
traordinary steps to eliminate it.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-That the next
ten years will witness the greatest
wave of prosperity the United States
ever experienced, and that the next

period of business depression, owing to
unsettled conditions, were the predic-
tons of Prof. Charles E. Zueblin, of
the United States employment service
in an address before the Illinois manu-
facturers' cost association today.
Prof. Zueblin said the problems of
returning more than 5000, 900 American
soldiers and sailors to their homes and
industries could only be solved by
capital and labor getting together on
basis of better production. There
will be no bolsheviki movement in
