Red Cross Fire
Where the Sweaters Go.

| Women, where do your sweaters gof
| t'Straight to the soldier boys and
nowhere else, replies Mrs Idah Ne
Clone Gibson, who has returned from
France after seeing everything the
Amerio an Red Cross does for our boys
over there.
"When [ arrived at our American
training camps in France and saw our
boys, some of them just back from
the trenches, with the sweaters show
ing under their TUNES, I wished every
woman in America could realize just
how much comfort these garments
were bringing to those they love- con-
tinued Mrs. Gibson.
"Since I came back, every time [
see a woman knitting socks I want to
90 to her and tell her how I saw, on
Christmas morning, at one of our larg-
est training camps in France, boys
holding their socks to their breasts
and lingering them, much as child
does a beloved red wagon.
"I just want to add one word more
Something that was hurled at me
from the Red Cross headquarters at
Paris, from the trenches, from the Sec
tor which our brave boys are holding
now. The Red Cross is, first of all, an
organization to help the war. Every
man, woman and child who enrolls in it
is soldier, and is pledged to fight in
every way possible against German.
propaganda and German autocracy.
Mrs. Gibson is giving her experiences
to the American people in series Of

Enterprises Association. She states
that not sweater or other knitted
article has ever been sold by the Red
Cross, but are given to soldiers inn
partially.
Red Cross Relieves Raid Victims.
Dynamite is playing a big part in
the war and will play still bigger
part as the airplanes multiply in the
different warning nations, and the
work of the American Red Cross is
increased thereby.
Raids over London and Paris and
other cities by the Germans. in which
bombs are dropped that kin and injure
many persons, create work for Red
Cross ambulance drivers and nurses.
At the time of the last raid over Paris
the offer of help made by the Red
Cross was received gratefully by the
French authorities. A letter tells of
it as follows:
The Huns came in four souadrillas
Of seven each, did their dirty work and
sneaked away with the French after
them. None of the men at the Red
Cross warehouse was hurt but several
had narrow escapes. My first feeling
was curiosity; then I was provoked,
just like you would be if you saw a.
big brute beat up child, and you
could do nothing.
The people in the United States
must wake up and realize we are fight
ng a crazy, mad nation. It is no more
time to talk than if you saw mad
dog coming for you, ready to bite. The
American Indian in his palmiest days
would never have acted like they do
nor could he have conceived of such
action.
Make the people at home realize
that while the fighting is 5000 miles
from the United States, unless we beat
them here, once for all, it will have to
be done later. Horrible as it may
seem, we will have to use their me-
thods to beat sense into their thick
heads. The Red Cross here is work
ing hard to meet the situation"

 HAVRE, France, Jan. 23.-Belgium has nothing to add to the peace terms which she demands for her self, according to a prominent Bel gian official in statement issued tonight. These terms. which are for herself, are absolute, political, eco nomical, territorial independence" " These terms were included in Bel gium's answer to the last, peace note of the pope, and there has been no change in Belgium's attitude.
 Neither the government nor the people will consent to any other ar engagement, it is stated, and Belgium realizes that it is the allies aim to see that her demands are carried out.

THIS "CHINK" ALLEGIANCE
 HIS ADDRESS

Hsun, the monarchical leader who endeavOred to put the Manchu boy emperor, Hsuan Tung, back on the throne and is now refugee in the Netherlands legation, will probably be sent to Reunion Island. a French pos session off the east coast of Mada- gascar. The entire diplomatic body has considered the disposition to be made of General Hsun several times. and after conference with Chinese of- ficials, virtually decided to send him to some distant island.
 Premier Yuan Chi-jui and the lead CTS who are now in power. have been somewhat non-committal when asked what their pleasure was con corning the monarchical leader. They did not care to have Chang Hsun turned over to the Chinese govern ment, as such step might necessi- tate his execution and create a poli- tical disturbance.
 It is impossible for the foreign le- gations to keep Chang Hsun and the other monarchical refugees within their small legation compounds for an indefinite time. Their lives would probably not be safe in any part of China. consequently the diplomatic body seems likely to accept the offer of the French government to give Chang Hsun refuge on Reunion Is- land,

SOCIALISTS IN
 GERMANY AGREE
 WITH AUSTRIANS
"A Associated Press,

(ASSOClateG PrpSSo
 LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Austrian peace agitation Is receiving a great deal of attention from the German socialist papers, most of whom are urging German socialists and work. CTS to join in similar demonstrations for a general peace. The Vorwaerts, one of the leading socialist publica- tions, declares that the greatest part of the German proletariats are with the Austrian workers in their peace struggle. >
 The German socialists have not. however, gone any further than to offer their sympathy to the Austri. ans, and there is apparently no hope of an economic uprising in Germany.
 ASSUMING WORK
 VIENNA, Jan. 23.-Most of the newspapers of this city, which were forced to suspend publication for sev- eral days on account of the recent serious strikes, reappeared this morn. ing. It is also declared that the majority of the strikers have resumed work, and the situation is gradually settling down to normal again.
 SITUATION UNCERTAIN
 NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Despite re- ports from Vienna that conditions there are returning to normal state, there is much uncertainty re- garding the exact state of affairs now existing in the dual monarchy. The censorship is preventing any new information from coming out of the empire, and the German govern ment has forbidden German news papers from telling of the Austrian peace demonstrations. The efforts of the Austrian statesmen to quiet the peoples demands have apparently failed.
