At the beginning of the last Ger
man offensive, the kaiser sent the
following message to his soldiers:
"His majesty informs the troops
that his majesty has arrived behind
the front of attack and will watch the
battle. All the good wishes of his
majesty go with the troops. Hi.
majesty calls to them, With God, fol-
the kaiser and the empire"
We are afraid there is little hope
for the German people until they re.
ceive such messages with contempt.

RED GROSS DONATIONS
CO BEYOND THE COAL

ATLANTA, Ca, May 28-Reports
coming in today to the headquarters
of the Southern division of the AM
erican Red Cross, located here, indi-
cate that this division will probably
reach total subscription of $4,000
900 in the second Red Cross drive,
which has for it national goal the sum
of $100,000,000 The Southern division
was the first in the country to "go
over the top" of its quota, which was
So, 100000. If its total subscriptions
reach $4,000,000, as now seems quite
probable, it will enjoy the enviable
record of oversubscribing its quota by
80 1-S per cent. Up to last night the
total subscriptions were $3,S00,O00,
and many communities were still at
work The wonderful response of the
people in this section to the Liberty
Loan and the Red Cross fund is con-
elusive evidence of the fact that a
high tide of patriotism is rising
throughout the south.

this IS THE true
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in II.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
in Bay City. Mich, received a hurry.
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within IS hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
a hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the 'front.' ALI day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch I'M
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making Of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were wait
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.
Red Cross Dunnage Bags.
1--WE are awfully sorry, ma'am," said
the older of the two, "but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tOmor-
row we have to-" And, without an
fishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of bags
at is too bad you can't come back, :"
said the superintendent, "but want
to thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have been wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly so
big If you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super
intendent came down to uHlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the tive little girls stand
ing in the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see your she
said. 81 thought you said you couldn't
come?'
"Oh, we knew those Red CrOas bags
tust had to be finished for the sol
diers," exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, "and we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the

II is certainly 10 be regretted
that Mr.. Goremykine could not
bring himself 70 speak more open
IS than he did to the emperor and
that he made himself the iustru-
ment of a policy which he often dis
disapproved and which he never
trusted. He paid heavily for his
mistake and especially for the
temerity Of his conduct i'm the early
stages OF the war. when he pre-
sided over the cabinet that had
taken 50 little care Of the important
question of the defense of the
fatherland But he was very,
very old man. one for whom his
S0th birthday was already a thing
of the past, and he had lost the
small amount of initiative he had
ever possessed The aged states

himself with the authority OF his
