Honor Guard Needs
$4,000 for Troops
In Remote Posts
Baseballs and Bats, Flower
Vases and Photographs
Would Be Welcomed

The National Honor Guard, whose
special responsibility is the remote
military posts and camps which be-
cause of their situation and size are
most likely to be forgotten or left to
the last in the wholesale benefactions
OF large organizations, needs help. For
some time it has been so busy with
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Liberty
Loan drives for funds that it's own
treasury has had to get along as best
it could.
The gray-uniformed girls of the Ma
tlonal Honor Guard draw no salaries,
they have no officers to pay, but they
want money to satisfy particular needs
that have been brought to their atten-
Non They want $4,000. Also they
would welcome baseball bats vases, jig
saw puzzles, monographs, games of all
would help to pass a soldiers time.
The following appeal is made by the
Honor Guard:
We see that every dollar is spent
to its greatest capacity, and often with
SIS we can bring happiness and cheer
to camp of 800 or 400 men. We can
do this, because for nearly three years
we have made special study of first
what is needed to encourage and cheer
these men in isolated places and be-
cause we are constantly advised by
their officers.
owe need flower vases for the flow
ers we give to our sick sailors and
soldiers in the hospitals. All kinds Of
vases are welcome. We need new
games, checkers, jigsaw puzzles for
convalescent patients, dominoes, all
kinds of games. We are in real need
Of two dozen surgeons operating
gowns and caps at once for certain
hospital. A very little money would
supply these, and it is really vital
need. We want flowers and fruit for
our boys here; we want new magazines,
tobacco"
Gifts should be sent to the guards
headquarters at "a West Twenty
eighth Street. Contributors will be
notified by letter of the exact DISPOSE
tion made of their gifts. Miss Theo-
dora Booth is president of the organ
ization, and its national advisors are

Directors of the second Red Cross
drive yesterday decided to use business
and trade establishments as the lead
ing bases for campaign operations
While every home has not ~iven some
one to the war, it was said practically
every place Of employment has con-
tributed at least one person. The drive
through these places alone is expected
to yield SEE, 900 O0O-New York City's
quota of the $10O,O00,00O objective. The
drive runs from May 20 to 81.
C. A. Coffin, chairman of the indus

Vision of |. w. w.
Leader Pictured
Wilson in Flight

CHICAGO, May 11.-At adjournment
tonight of the trial of 112 Industrial
Workers of the World charged with
seditious conspiracy, the government
had virtually completed introduction Of
printed matter seized during raids last
year on l. w. w. headquarters in half
a score of cities throughout the United
States.
Monday, it was announced, the prose-
cution plans to read into the record
matter from the private correspond
cnce files of the leaders of the organi-
cation. seized during the same raids.
The story of a "vision" which came
to Harrison George, defendant, and
which pictured President Wilson and
his Cabinet in fight, while the l. w. w.
rose up as savors of the world, was
read into the record at to-day's session
by counsel for the government. 1t is
charged that the narrative, of which
the vision is the theme, was given wide
circulation during last summer as a
part of the anti-war propaganda with
which members of the organization are
charged. In the vision Americas in
dustrial structure was pictured as
tumbling like house of blocks as the
result of l. w. w. sabotage against
great producing plants.
"Workers of all lands, arouse" ex-
hortcd the printed version Of the
"Vision." Transcription is challenge.
We call upon workers of America and
all involved nations to meet conscrip-
tion or declarations of war by general
strikes and insurrection. We call upon
you in that hour to seize control of all
industries. Break your chains! As
sert your power!"
"Mobilizatlon is crippled more and
more as the days pass" the pamphlet
continued ,safter asserting the l. w. W.
had been deluged with pledges of sup
port and that world strikes were about
to occur.
Federal authorities are in a panic
and the rich are fleeing from the coun-
try in private yachts. Through sabo-
tage hundreds of trains are stalled,
wheels of industry have ceased to turn,
cities are dark and troops are disband-
ing for lack of food.
"The President and his Cabinet left
secretly on yacht for parts unknown;
the Senate fades away"
A resolution drawn up by the gen.
eral executive board opposing war
was placed in the records over objec-
ton of counsel for the defence, who
declared there was no evidence show
ing it was adopted last July, as con-
tended by the prosecution.

Dixon S ThirdAvenue Theatre
Is Opened as Moving
Picture House

Martin Dixon's Third Avenue Theatre
opened yesterday as a motion picture
palace. Mr.. Dixon had planned to- have
the public opening at the matinee per-
torrance, but some trouble about a
license at the last moment made it
illegal to collect money from the spec

experience of being invited to walk in
and witness the performance The the

will be sold until Monday.

'Freie Presse' Closes
Plant in Brooklyn

The Brooklyn "Freie Presse," the
only paper published in German in that
borough, voluntarily suspended publi-
cation yesterday. In announcing its
action to it's readers the "Freie Presse"
declared that. it had always stood for
Americanization in everything and that
its suspension was due solely to patri-
otto motives.
In its valedictory editorial, after
more than half century's existence,
the "Freie Presse" said in part:
"After an existence of more than
Presse' to-day stops its publication
while the country is at war, as it was
when Colonel Edward Roehr founded
this newspaper.
"Ihen the war came to US and brought
us new and hard tests, time full of
sorrows and woes. And in this time,
when good advice and leadership were
more urgent than ever, the 'Brooklyner
Freie Presse' was a true adviser and a
true guide to its readers. From the
beginning it has seen and steadily pur-
sued the right course with the one aim
to serve the country and it's cause,
even risking to be misunderstood and
criticised. To-day most of the malcon-
tents are convinced and converted and
are travelling the same road
which alone will lead to a common goal,
and therefore is the right one
"But the last stretch of the road
must be travelled alone by the readers.
We hope that during the try
ing months of the first year Of the war
they recognized what time does demand

missing submission to the measures

impressive admonition ohthe earnest
ness of the hour and appeal to reason
and conscience There is onlv
one leading thought to-day-whatever
one does shall be done for the best of
the country. With this in mind we
will to-day say Farewell to our read
ers."
At the same time that the BROOKLYN
German daily closed it's plant the Flat
bush Newsdealers and Stationers' Asso-
citation announced that it had voted
unanimously to discontinue handling
any publications printed IN German.
They are the fifth newsdealers' organi-
zation in the city to ban German pa
pers.
Mrs. Oliver Cromwell Fields, chair
man of the committee for the suspen-
sion of all things German, has called

evening at the Waldorf-Astoria Cyrus
Townsend Brady will be one of the
speakers, and representatives of the
Federation of Women's Clubs, through
whom Mrs. Fields expect to enlist at
least one hundred thousand women in
her campaign, are to be present.
One result of the campaign against
German publications by Mrs. Fields's
committee, in conjunction with the
American Defence Society, was the en-.

Lord Reading Warns
Against War Criticism
Cautions News Writers About
Fault Finding and Unnec-
essary Condemnation

WASHINGTON, May II. - Warm
praise for the aid the United States
is bringing to the Allies was given
here tonight by Lord Reading, the
British Ambassador, speaking at the
National Press Club. The Ambassador
warned against false optimism, declar-
ing the Allies are facing grave sit

in final victory, as he does in his re-
ligion; but we must look the facts IN
the face. There can be only one end
for us-that brought by final victory.
We can consider no other peace"
The ambassadors hearers, most OF
them news writers, were warned
against fault finding and unnecessary
condemnation of inevitable mistakes IN
an undertaking as big as is the war. :,
"When everything does not succeed
according to expectations" said ne,
"there is a tendency in human nature
to look into every nook and Granny
seeking to discover mistakes and dis
Appointments that so often accompany
the initiation of such vast undertake
ing as war on the present scale. The
only value of the discovery of mis-
take, as you have found here, is to
root out the evil and set to work with
all energy to remedy the error with
the greatest. rapidity. Let us never
forget the great and inspired achieve
ments attained in face of difficulties
that appear to battle human endeavor."
Of Americas entry into the war Lord
Reading said:

titanic conflict is one in which you
inevitably must have borne your part,

The old days, when the wooden wall.

Their historical reflections were ban

Carita Spencer, recently back from the
fighting lines, as ce-chairman of the
surgical dressings committee, which
has been merged with the American
Red Cross. She said that on her re-
turn here she was most impressed by
"the real absence of sacrifice that hurts
in America"
"We must cast aside our useless lux
uries and save, save, save" she insist
ed, "that our brave lads, 5000 miles
away, may have the support they must
have to keep them to their purpose.
