RED CROSS RELIEF
FOR GREEK NATION

Greece-hard hit by the warts to
be put back on her feet by the United
States, England and France, It was
learned today.
Emergency relief to refugees and
thoroughgoing economic development
are included in the programs OF the
allied nations interested. Blocking of
German attempts to recover trade su-
prenacy in this southernmost Balkan
state after the war, may result from
these efforts.
An American Red Cross mission
sails shortly to give relief to zoe, 900
refugees, victims OF Turkish and Bull
garian outrages. The mission. which
will have headquarters at SaIoniki.
will be headed by Edward Caps, OF
Princeton, ". J. An initial expendi-
ture Of 100000 will be increased
later.
After the Red Cross mission has
made its report back to this Govern
ment, It is possible that the Govern
ment will take action toward encour-
aging American capital to go into
Greece. Greece is looking for the al
lies to capture the trade which for
merely went to Germany-6o per cent
OF her foreign purchases.

Ing TO the Germans
I'VE were extremely fortunate in
securing the services of Foch as SUI
preme commander. He is especially
fitted for the exceptional conditions
of this war, where battles are fought
on a 300-mile front
"Only national heart failure will
prevent real victory. We must i'm
pose a durable peace to end all wars.
Rrussian militarism must not only
be beaten. but the German people
must know their rulers outraged the
laws OF humanity and that Prussian
strength cannot protect them from
punishment
This must be the last war. Don't
be misled that a league of nations

catastrophe. A league with Prus-
sian power triumphant would be .

gun. The British empire is a league
OF free nations. The allies are fight
ing the battle OF international right
and a league of free nations. II after
the war Germany repudiates her per-
fidy and the -perfidy OF her rulers, then
Germany will be freed from mill
tarism and will be welcomed to the
great league, but only on the sure
foundation of allied victory.
Peace must be the kind Of a peace
commencing itself to common sense
and the conscience of the nations as
a whole. 1t must not be dictated by
extremists on either side. We can
not allow the Bolsheviki to force us
to a peace so humiliating that It
would dishOnor the national flag and
make repetition of the horrors of this
war inevitable.
when a satisfactory peace Is Sc
cured, then we can proceed with a
clean conscience to build up a new
world. The wars first lesson was
the immense Importance of maintain
ing the solidarity OF the British en-
pire."

himself coined It. In his speech
at Essen he said: "This war is

Although he tried to place re-

the allies, his characterization
has been accepted here as well
taken And so officials refer to
him in private conversation as
