The people Of the United States
only now are beginning to realize the

American Red Cross.
This slatement is attested by the
fact that $4,000, 900 >ef the oltlzenry
Of this country joined the organization
in the Christmas membership drive
But few OF these, however, realized
what the Red Cross is doing to help
win the war for the United States and
It's allies.
The fou principal divisions of the
Red Cross are Woman's Work, Junior
Membership, Civilian Relief and Mill
tary relief.
Woman's work consists OF the vari.
GUS activities which result in furnish
ing sweaters. helmets, wristlets,
socks, surgical dressings, etc, for
American soldiers who either. have
gone to France or who are preparing

WoMAN's WORN,

Under the department of Woman's Work are listed all of
those articles so necessary for the recovery of the wounded and
the comfort of the convaescent.
Red Cross work shops through the country are busiy engaged
turning out great quantities Of the various types of surgical dress
ings SO badly needed in the field dressing stations and base hoSpi-
tails abroad. These dressings are made with the utmost care in
hygienic surroundings and in their preparation are occupying the
time of hundreds Of thousands of women in the larger cities
throughout the country. Therec be no fear of an oversupply Of
hospital dressings and the need for them will become more and
renewed vigor in the spring. There is also an urgent demand for
many articles which come under the heading of hospital garments,
directions for the making of which are herewith appended. These
articles can be made in the home, or in the church, as wcme n
articles can be made in the home, or in church csnterE, as women
find most convenient.

TELLING THE TRUTH
 COSTLY IN GERMANY
Giterary DipeStO

A Berlin journalist of long eXperi- ence. Dr. Hermann Rosemeier-now a democratic refugee in Switzerland has some astounding revelations to make in the Berne Freie Zeitung. Dr. Rosemeier, who was for many years the political editor of the influential Berlin Morgenpost, writes:
 Tn Germany it is permissible to de- scribe imperialism in general as the cause of the war, but one dare not dis cuss the question of the Germanic powers share in the blame of the war. Liebknecht, the one social democrat who opposed the war from the start, is convict in prison. Red Rosa Lux emburg, called the 'Tigress of German Socialism, is under preventive arrest and so are thousands like her.
 Professor Nicolai is in jail. Lieu tenant Commander Paasche of the inn perial German navy-the son. in law of the vice president of the reichstag and nephew-inlaw of Maximiliar Harden-is serving a sentence of penal servitude. Poor old Baron von Eek. ardstein, former chancellor of the Ger man embassy in London, wanders from preventive arrest to jail. from jail back to preventive arrest. The harmless Lilly Jannasch, secretary oi the New Fatherland league, has been locked up for months.
 That unfortunate nobleman who belonged to the political division ot the great general staff and was 8 Knight of the Iron Cross, has beer stuck into an insane asylum for giv- ing publicity to Prince Lichnowsky's memorandum, while there is threat 10 visit the same horrible fate or Lichnowsky himself.
 August Rebel, the head socialist seneralissimo, once coined this aphor- ism: Tn olden days disagreeable peo- pie were banished to a monastery today they are put into a sanitarium. Prince Lichnowsky may console him. self. As the Prussian junkers are now threatening him, so the slave barons Of the American south once more they would intern John Quincy Adams in g madhouse."

 gave any specific information of a military character.
 It appears certain American forces have held this door against the enemy. promptly restoring the general trend | Of their original lines wherever the rush yesterday had swept them back. The major actions in the battle devel- oped today immediately to the east of the original American positions. There the enemy apparently is firmly lodged across the river and heavy pressure is being brought by Franco American forces to eject him.
 The German position here appears somewhat precarious. It was agreed that unless they were able without great delay to extend their advance and widen the dent, General Foch might swing a flank assault from the American positions to the west in an effort to trap the army of General Boehm, which Berlin claims crossed | the river here
 Allies Recapture Marne Heights l The official report from Paris to- night showed the Franco American forces had recaptured St. Agnan and the heights dominating the Marne val
 
 tions. This led to the hope among of ficers that a wide flanking movement would be possible which would clear the south bank of the river of the en- emy and probably result in important captures of prisoners. The fact the de- lenders are hitting back hard appears to make it certain that the Germans have been able to make only limited improvement of their position. This is the first great battle in which Americans have engaged. If any con- fusion developed, the swiftness and certainty with which counter attacks were sent home shows that it was quickly overcome.
 Real Object to Widen Line l Many officers believe the real ob- ]ect Of the drive was to widen the German line along the Marne so a later blow could be delivered with Chateau Thierry and the line north west of there as the center of attack and reduction of the Compiegne salient as it's objective
 | In that event. a coincident attack south of Amiens aimed directly at Compiegne, it was thought, would have been delivered and if Compiegne fell, the German advance could either be directed against Paris or the scene be shifted for fresh blow at the chan mel ports through the British lines to | the north.
 -di-mhe Rim-qF- myth. cgfir | So far as the present drive goes, much satisfaction is taken here in the fact that the German right ran into an | abrupt check against the Americans who still hold what will be the very center of assault if new thrust at Paris is to follow the present effort. War Departments Statement | The war department issued this statement:
 | At midnight the war department was not in receipt of late cable dis patches from General Bliss or General Pershing. but it was in communication with the military attache at Paris. Iin- formation from this last source does not deal specifically with the days point of attack and defense but brings information of heavy losses sustained by the enemy's attacking forces and of his failure to make substantial pro- gress against the enemy's attacking forces and of his failure to make. sub

McADOO CONFERS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-Con- sideration of problems affecting rail roads of the central western division was taken up today by w. G. McAdoo, director general. Although a treat ment of his throat, strained by his speaking tour for the last liberty loan, was necessary today, Mir. McAdoo plunged wholeheartedly into the sec ond day of his conference with railroad chiefs here
 A number of short line railroads have not been taken over by the gov ernment, MT. McAdoo said, because their operation would impose a great burden without corresponding service to the country. Among these. he said, were pleasure or seasonal lines, lumber and cable railroads.
 We have the power to take over from time to time any of these lines" " the director general asserted. They are getting better treatment now than under the old regime because we have no selfish ends to serve"
