HOLDING. TAG DAY
FOR RED CROSS
School Committee Perfects
Plans For Increasing Treas
ury of Junior Red Cross

When the Red Cross school COM
Mrs. William Henderson, the chair
man, it was decided that Saturday,
May 4. be known as Tag Day" for
the benefit of the Junior Red Cross.
The report of Daniel ID. Hammel-
baugh, the treasurer, shows that
10,494 pupils are enrolled in the
graded schools of the city and 9,73S
of these are now in the Red Cross,
equalling 80 per cent. BY Easter
every building in the city expects to
have a record of 100 per cent.
There are twenty-nine graded
schools, and out of these thirteen
have already the 100 per cent menu
bership. OF the five parochial
schools, each has reached the full
membership. Mrs. David e. Tracy,
representing the parochial schools
on the committee, is looking after
the Junior Red Cross there.
The report of Mr.. Hammelbaugh
as treasurer gives n total of $2,7S5.14
paid into the Junior Red Cross treas
ury. He paid out last month .$309.19
for materials, and as no more money
for dues will come for another year,
the treasury must be augmented in
some way-therefore Tag Day.
Make Generous Gifts
Mr.. and Mrs. J. X. White have
generously agreed to furnish the tin
boxes for collecting money and also
the tags, their gift amounting to
about 5000. 1t is hoped that from
this Tag Day the Junior Red Cross
will reap several thousand dollars,
at least enough to carry on the
work for another year. This money
will all be used for materials for
the work the schoolchildren do.
Knitting, sewing. making layettes
for Belgian and French babies, the
Harrisburg Juniors are doing as
much and in some instances better
work than any so far reported in
the country.
The hearty cooperation of DR..
Downes, Professor Brehm, Daniel
4ammelbaugh and members of the
school board makes all this pos
sible.
The Definite Plans
1t is expected that three thousand
schoolchildren will be on the streets
on Tag Day. each with his box la
beled with the name of the school
ana MS own name. The money col
lected will go to the school to which
the child belongs, so that every one
is working "a the prestige given
that school. / rofessor J. j. Brehm,
chairman of the Junior Red Cross
school committee. will issue letters
within n few days to every teacher
of the city, explaining Tag Day and
how the committee desires the
teacher to aid. The school commit
tee itself will raise the money for
prizes, thirty-two of which are being
arranged for, more to be added if
the funds are increased. Thirty
three dollars was secured Monday
from members of the Civic Club and
other contributions are promised.
Because of the personal and gener-
Gus interest of Mr.. and Mrs. White,
the expenses are wonderfully low
cred for this big and patriotic un-
dertaking.

NO "DICKERED" PEACE
Germany Must Surrender" Say
Republican Leaders in Treaty
Making Senate.

Early in August, Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
and Republican leader in the Senate,
sounded an earnest warning against
any premature or compromising peace
with Germany. He demanded peace
dictated only by victorious American
and Allied armies, peace involving
Germanys unconditional surrender
His address aroused the greatest en-
thusiaSm in all the Allied countries
where it was reproduced in the public
press.
When the recent Teutonic overtures
for peace were made, Republican lead
ers in the Senate, which is the treaty
making body of this government, i'm
mediately went on record against any
armistice or "dickering" with Ger
many and her allies. Senator McCum-
Der, Republican, of North Dakota, in
troduced a resolution committing the
United States against any cessation of
hostillties or peace negotiations will,
Germany until the Hun surrendered
Internationally and agreed to make
reparation to the nations he had
ravaged.
This resolution was endorsed by the
Republican leaders in the Senate, who
insisted there must be no let-up in the
prosecution Of the war abroad or it's
support at home until Germany and
her allies lay down their arms and
say, 1--WE are defeaIed. What terms
Of peace and reparation do you i'm
poser"
It Is absurd to attempt to make it
appear that If Senators Lodge, Nc
Cumber, POindexter, Nelson and their
Republican colleagues carry the No
vember elections and win control Of
the next Senate such an event would
be hailed with joy in Berlin and with
dread by our Allies.

VOTE AGAINST DENT.

Dent Of Alabama is chairman cG the
House Committee on Military Affairs.
AS such he fought the enactment OF
the law under which the United States
created the Army Of Victory, which
is now driving the Hun out Of France
and Belgium. He fought against this
bill while it was in his committee. Hs
fought it when it came up for passage
in the House.
You can cast your vote against Dent
by voting for the Republican candi-
date for Congress in your district. II
the Republicans carry Congress Dent
Of Alabama loses his Craftsmanship.
Kahn, Republican, of California, who
led the fight for the draft law when
Dent went back on the President,
would get Dents Job If the Republic
ans carry Congress.
Democratic Alabama will send Dent
back to Congress, again to fight the
President. It's up to you to render
his opposition harmless by helping
elect a Republican Congress which VIII
replace Dent with Kahn.

REPUBLICANS DEMAND AUDIT
Think People Should Have Check on
Billions They Have. Given.

Last year Congress appropriated
more. money to be expended in wal
contracts than any other nation en-
gaeed in war. The estimates for the
appropriations during the current year
are approximately $32,000,OOO,OOO.
Twice during the past year the
Republicans in Congress attempted
to have a congressional committee
created for the purpose of supervising
and auditing war contract expendi-
lures. Even Democratic members aa-
NIT there is great waste and extrava-
gance and even graft in the ex-
expenditure of such vast sums. But
the Democrats refuse to agree to any
auditing or supervising committee.
Twice they have defeated such pro
posals.
