FAMOUS TENOR AIDS RED
CROSS-GIvES BIG ST

CROSS-GIVES BIG SUM
John Mccormack. the famous ope-
ratio tenor and concert and phonograph
star, is donating his services in a series
of benefit concerts for the American
Red Cross, by which he expects to raise
100000 for the Red Cross War fund
between now and March. He opened
his patriotic tour at the Belasco The
alter, Washington, D. c., on December
18. Mr.. Mccormack has cancelled
several important engagements on his
regular schedule, so that he might give
benefit concerts instead. He has in
sisted in paying all expenses, so that
the gross proceeds will 90 directly to
the war fund.
This generous gift is the outcome OF
recent meeting between Mr.. McCor-
mack and John D. Ryan, who is
member Of the Red Cross War Council.
The work of the Red Cross had been
under discussion, when Mr.. McCor-
mack said:
Il should like to do my bit through
the Red Cross. I am willing to give a
series Of concerts from the Atlantic to
the Pacific for the benefit Of the Red
Cross, in which the gross proceeds shall
be turned over to the organization Il
will pay all my own expenses, and
will keep on singing until I have earn
ed one hundred thousand dollars for
the Red Cross" The offer was
enthusiastically accepted.

HELPING SAVE THE BELGIANS

More than one and quarter millions
Of dollars has been appropriated by the
American Red Cross to carry on its
work in Belgium for the six months
expiring on April 80 next. Important
features of the budget on which this
appropriation was based include:
Equipment and operation Of canteena,
SIT, 800; hospital supplies for military
relief, S34,600 civilian relief for chill
dren, 1868, $50; civilian relief hospitals,
S57,o55; for the relief Of refugees,
S842,51O.
Much of the relief work for the peo-
pie Of Belgium is necessarily carried
on in French territory, as the invasion
OF Belgium by the Germans drove vast
hordes OF Belgian civilians across the
border, where hospitals and homes
have been provided for them with the
assistance.of the American Red Cross.

goods, agricultural implements, and an
almost endless list Of other articles

AN ALARM OF FIRE
A TRIBUTE TO FRANCE

The Duchesse Dues has written
for the January issue Of Harper Bazaar
most inspiring tribute to France.
Her article reveals that true and
staunch patriotism which the French
people as a whole have for their be-
loved France and which is the real
reason why they have been able to
withstand the great German onslaught.
This article is illustrated with sig
nifcant photograph of the statue Of
Jeanne dare before the Cathedral of
Rheims. Despite the storms of Ger
man shell which have battered the ia
nous old cathedral into ruins, this
statue still stands unscathed, monu-
ment to the undying spirit Of France.

The Republican county ticket, as
named last Thursday in the conven-
iion at the court house in this city,
should pass muster with the voters,
regardless Of political affiliations.
There IS not "weak sister" on it,
from top 10 bottom, not name that
every Republican cannot support with
pride, not a name that any Democrat
cannot write into his own ticket with
the consciousness Of having voted
to the interest of himself and to the
pubic at large as well. Political lines
are prone to run faint and disappear
in county elections, and where that is
tn case q ticket wen chosen is half
elected already. That being true, the
iiet,' named at the court house last
week should be as good as in right
now.
One particular good point about
this bunch Of nominees is that they
are all drafted" for duty. Not a
one Of them had his eve on an office
a week before the convention day.
Men with the good Of the party at
heart prevailed on them to permit
their names to be used, in some cases
with great reluctance on their part.
We are all familiar with the candi-
date who "yields to the urging Of his
friends" In every one Of tibet en- no
limitations made by the Republicans
that hackeneyed old saw is the literal
and actual truth.
Such ticket is not easily beaten,
take il collectively or individually.
Every nominee viii pull heavily from
the enemy's camp. In fact some Of
them have already been approached
by many Democrats volunteering
their support at the polls in Novem-
her and in the trenches" up to Shat
time.

ocrats in Luna county on the morn

Here's a dead sure tipOff on who's
going to win this war: Little Servia,
her army aanihilated, expelled from
her mountains and without q foot OF
ground to call her own, yet hung on
ard on for more than fOni years and
now is furnishing her share Of the
man power for Foeh's hammar blow
at bulgaria, which has restored Ser
via to her own at one stroke. Bull
garia, after three years Of uninlsr-
rupted success, during which tine
she more than doubled her own do
mains, has two weeks Of everses|
rnd, panic-stricken, throws up her
hands. This is to our mind the most
significant occurrence Of the var
since the Americans entered the COZ
flict with their world-liberty slogan.
