FOR THE RED CROSS

Atlanta, Ca, May 11.-President
Wilson has appealed to the Ameri-
can people on behalf of the Red
Cross whose second War Fund Cam
paign to raise a hundred million
dollars begins non May 20 and con-
tinues through May 81. His pro-
clamation establishing Red Cross
! Week. follows:
"Tnasmuch as the war fund of
1917 so generously contributed by
the American people to the Ameri-
can. Red Cross for the administration
of relief at home and abroad, has
been practically exhausted by appro-
priations for the welfare Of, the men
in our military and naval forces, and
for the yet more urgent necessities
of our allies, military and civilian
who have long borne the brunt OF
war.
"And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law as the fundamentally for war
relief. ..
"And inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands up
on the patriotism and liberality Of
people and made evident the necessi-
ty of concentrating the work of re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and univer-
sally to the needs of humanity un-
der stress of war.
"And, inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy
with the. governments Of our allies,
and with foreign relief organizations
have resulted in the discovery of
new opportunities of helpfulness un-
der conditions which translate OPP
portunity into duty:
"And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and it's COM
missioners in Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
peoples trust:
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United
States and president of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson,
do hereby proclaim the week begin
ming May 20, 1918, as Red Cross
Week. during which the people of
the United States will be called up
on again to give generously to the
continuation of the important work
of relieving distress, restoring the
waste of war, and assisting mainte-
nance of the morale of our own
troops and the troops and peoples of
our allies by this manifestation of
effort of sacrifice on the part of
those who, not privileged to bear
arms are of one spirit, purpose and
determination with our warriors.
"In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal Of the United States to be af-
fixed.
"Done in the District of Column
bia this 4th day of May, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hum
dred and eighteen, and of the indie
pendence of the United States OF
America the one hundred and forty
second. (Seal.)

of all the peoples in the conflict during
the past year Hunger has pinched them
with special severity. largely because
of their lack of capacity for organiza-
ton. Fearful of collapse in the Haps-
burg empire, the German government
has appeased the hunger rioters by
sending them food from Germany's own
scanty store. This measure, however,
can only be temporary. When Ger

Vienna, there will come an intensified

Russia's Plight
Russia's plight during the fourth year
of the war has struck a middle course
between the two usual channels of rev.

of excuses that marked the reign of
terror during the French revolution, nor
nave events followed the orderly prec-
edent of the English revolution. Vio-
lerce has prevailed among the Russians,
but their principal handicap has not been
a tendency toward crime. 1t has been

More Germans Being
Killed Than Captured

PARIS, July 2Y.-Under the lrresisti-
BILE pressure of the allied troops the
enemyfs retreat continued yesterday,
according to the HavaS correspondent
at the front. The average advance of
the allies during the day was from
three to five kilometers. 1t is as yet
impossible to determine the limit of the
retreat but it is probable that it will
stop on the wooded heights along the
Vesle river.
One the left of the allied line the Ger
mans made great efforts to hold up the
army under General Degoutte, blowing
up bridges and foot bridges leading to
territory foot by, foot. The enemys
stubbornness was useless and the allies
entered the town by the west and south,
and are holding their positions.
Farther toward Rheims the allies con-
tinued to advance toward Ville-En-Tar-
denois into which their vanguards have
now probably penetrated.
1t is explained that the small num-
Der of German prisoners taken is due
to the fact that the allies have ad-
vanced with extreme caution while the
Germans left only small forces to cover
their retreat. These forces were given
orders to hold on to the last so that
the main body might withdraw. Thus
the enemy's losses are relatively heavier
in dead than in prisoners. On the other
hand the Germans left considerable
booty especially engineering machinery,
munitio depots and a number OF cannon
which they put out of order before

Germans may intend a further retreat.
Since yesterday the allies have ad-
vanced between two and three miles on
twenty-mile front
The enemy has definitely abandoned
the line of the Ourcq and there is little
doubt now that he will go back beyond
the Vesle to the line thirty miles long
between Soissons and Rheims, which Is
probably well entrenched and has good
lines of communication.
The German retirement has been quite
orderly and deliberate. So far the TAX

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE ITALIAN FRONT, July 27.-CBy

They began arriving this morning. They
are being billeted with the Italians.
Heretofore the only combatant Ameri-

fighting men from the United States at
the present moment has occasioned the
greatest satisfaction.
Major General Eben Swift, OF the
American military mission to Italy, was
the first to greet the newly-arrlVed
Americans. He has already made ar
engagements for their comfort. The
Italians greeted them with enthusiasm
and rejoiced at the splendid physical
condition which the American soldiers
showed The Italians appeared greatly
astonished when the overseas men i'm

Major General Swift was the nrst

coded the Eighty-second division to
France, and was subsequently detailed
