Red Cross Raises
Large Sum Money
ALLOTMENT PLAN BRINGS IN
S16,217.5O FOR WORK LO-
CALLY AND WAR FUND

w. H. Gold, chairman of the joint
committee for the raising of both
local and national Red Cross funds,
has announced that the total sum
subscribed through the recent drive
in the district of Redwood Falls, is
$16,217.50. Of this amount, the one
third of Delhi township belonging to
this district subscribed $4,000, the
three-fourths Of Paxton township
$2,124.00, Redwood Falls township
$2,272, and the city Of Rewdood Falls
S11 ,091.50, making the total as be-
fore stated.
The districts share in the allot-
ment made for raising national funds
was. 100000, leaving $12,217.50 for
use as local funds. This is in ac-
cordance with the plans Of the local
ways and means committee to fur
nish 81 900 per month for the use of
the Redwood Falls branch, the
branch having shown that it could
do this amount of work if the funds
were provided.
A full report of the drive through
out the county has not yet been made
but Chairman Emerson reports that
many parts of the county are over
subscribing their allotments rs per-
cent and that the drive has been
very successful. The work of the
local committee is practically all
completed, only about six of those
allotted not having yet signed their
acceptance of their share. The COM
mittee expects every person to do
this within a short time. First pay
ments are due now and should be
made at the Farmers State bank of
Redwood Falls where the records of
the individual payments are kept.

Gauze Reclaimed

AS the result of a series of exper-
iments in the Mayo hospital, Roches-
ter, Mimi, and at Camp Grant a sys-
tenn has been worked out whereby
the government will be able to save
thousands of dollars annually
through the reclamation of gauze, so
necessary in the treatment of wound
ed soldiers.
These two institutions, together
with the base hospital of Camp Sher-
man, Chillicothe, Ohio, was specially
designated by the War department
for these tests, and it is announced
that they have been more than sue
cessful
AT Camp Grant, for instance. 500
yards of gauze are used daily and by
the newly perfected system 700 wards
can be reclaimed and used again.
The same results have attended ex-
periments at the Rochester institu-
ton, where Minnesota men have
worked efficiently to aid the govern
ment in this matter, one of no small
IN army medical circles.
Not only is the gauze used for this
purpose expensive, but, owing to the
prevailing shortage of material, it is
difficult to obtain. and the reclama-
ton process will thereby serve dou-
bic purpose. The Camp Grant hos
pltal staff is confident that with a
little, further experimenting it will
be able to cut down the amount of
bandage material that cannot be re-
claimed to almost an infnitesimal
amount.

Correction Made

In the Liberty Bond report made
in last weeks Gazette, there were
two errors made to which our atten-
ton has been called by Chairman j.
P. Cooper. The township of Sun
down, which raised $34,50O, was
omitted from all mention in the re-
port, and the amount of bonds sold
by the State Bank of Belview was
entirely incorrect This bank, under
the able and patriotic leadership OF
A. O. Gimmestad, sold S51 900 worth
of bonds and was only credited in our
report with $4,000 typographical
error which we gfeatly regret. The
Gazette calls the attention of its
readers to these two corrections
which we very gladly make.

The Minneapolis office is in charge

experience in this particular and
most important work at this time
when the success of the war depends

his crops.
The Employment Bureau was one
of the first things done by the Safe

Last summer the public subscribed

e~ighty-hve millions of 1t had been ap-

not after governments have deliber-

money.

that meant rubbing out one line and
drawing another half an inch further

thousands of poor families fleeing from
their homes. Major Murphy, Red
Cross Commissioner In Europe, rushed
to the scene and wired "Indescribably
pathetic conditions exist, involving
separation of mothers and children,
cold, hunger, disease, death" In No
vember and December the American
Red Cross appropriated three million
dollars for relief there-a large sum,
yet small in comparison with the need.

the milk. At one spot in France farm
work was stopped by lack of horses.
That meant more hunger. The Red
Cross got In a big tractor and set 1t
to blowing for the community.
There are a million needs. Cold,
wet and the deadly physical strain of
the trenches undermine mems consti-
tutions. A frightful scourge of tuber-
culosis has developed in France. The
Red Cross has built %sanatoria, pro-
vided over a thousand beds and nurses.
Thirty Millions for France.
I have here a big sheaf of sheets
filed with figures. One item is thirteen
million and odd dollars-the amount
which, up to that time, had gone to the
local chapters of the Red Cross in the
United States for local relief. Twenty
five per cent of the money subscribed
through the chapters eventually goes
that way.
Over thirty millions have been ap-
p%ropriated for work in France. Here
Is a million and a quarter-in round
numbers-for military hospitals and
d~ispensaries; over a million and a half
for canteen service, where French and
American soldiers, relieved from the
trenches, a get good food, a cot, a
bath, and have their clothes disinfected
and so go on for their brief holiday
clean, rested, nourished. There are
over three millions for hospital supply

families and sufficient reconstruction
to make houses habitable, required
over two millions.
Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scale-a
world of 1t. The item for relief Of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The ~dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
ceives and distributes more than two
hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and its other
work 1t requires a big transportation
service of motors and trucks. This
transportation service has cost a mil
lion and a half, and its operating ex-
penses run to q million dollars.
Every dollar 1t spends means misery

for the United States the best good will

else the war may produce, we shall be

Washington, April 4.-Director General McAdoo made public today a letter to A. 0. Wharton, president of the railroad employees division Of the American Federation of Labor, denying reports that the railroad arrangements had protested against cooperation of labor and railway employees.

APPROXIMATION IS
 GOVERNORS SUBJECT
Stamping Out of German Language
 and Press in This Country 4 Is Their Aim.

Washington, April 4--State govern ors meeting here today with mem- bers of the council of national de- fense, urged drastic action to stamp out disloyalty and curb the German language press. They advocated measures to prevent preaching in German and teaching of German. in elem entary schools.
 Secretary Daniels who presided as head of the council in reply asked the governors to formulate resolu- tions supporting the bill drafted by Attorney General Gregory to reach spies, traitors and disloyal persons. The resolutions committee of the gov- ernors met later at Secretary Lanes office.
 When full Americanization has been accomplished, Secretary Daniels said not only will every American be 'mobilized for war but we will put the fear of God into the hearts of those who live among us and fatten upon us and are not Americans. Governor Stewart of Montana said the governors found themselves in accord with the program of Amer icanization mapped out but believed more vigorous measures were neces- 1 sary. The greatest criticism heard 1 he declared, 'fs against the humorous l attitude of the government toward 1 treason"
