hington.-President Wilson is
sued a proclamation designating the
week beginning May 20 as Red Cross
Week." and calling upon the Ameri-
can people to contribute generously to
the second $10O,000,000 war fund OF
the American Red Cross for the allie
Walton of suffering among tho Amer
ican troops in France and their de-
pendents at home and among the
fighting forces and civilian popula-
tions of the allied countries. The
proclamation follows:
"PROCLAMATION:
"lnasmuch as the war fund OF 1917.
SO generously contributed by the
American people to the American
Red Cross for the administration OF
relief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tions fer the welfare OF the men in
our military and naval forces, and
for those dependent upon them for the
yet more urgent necessities of our al
lies, military and civilian, who have
long borne tie brunt Of war;
Red Cross has been recognized by law
and international convention as the
public instrumentality for war relief;
And, inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality of our
people, and made evident the neces-
sity of concentrating the work OF re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and universal
ly to the needs of humanity under
stress of war;
"And, ina5mrch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with the
governments of our allies, and with
foreign relief organizations, have re-
suited in the discovery of new oppor-
tunities of helpfulness under condl-
tions which translate opportunity into
duty;
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and its COM
miasioncrs in Europe have faithfully
and economically, administered the
peoples trust;
Nov, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President. OF the American
Red Cross, !, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 90, 1918. as Red Cross Week.
during which the people of the United
States will be called upon again to
give generously to the continuation OF
the important work of relieving dis.
tress, restoring the waste OF war and
assisting in maintaining the morale
of our own troops and the troops and
peoples Of our allies by this manifes-
tation Of effort and sacrifice on the
part of those who, though not privi-
legged to bear arms, are of one spirit,
purpose and determination with our
warriors.
''In witness whereof. have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be at
fixed,
Done in the District OF Columbia
this 4th day of May, in the year OF
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and eighteen and of the independence
Of the United States of America, the

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds of
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the En-
erald Isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
ed." (two) the gentleman every inch
of him. and (three) the "gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of CromwelFs soldiers. who. If
they could ride WELL were called
"Buckskin Breeches." or "Squireens."
The second class was composed of
descendants of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
for rebellion or other rensOns), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for living. In trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the ackbone"-comprised the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains

Gen. Won Arnims army in desperate
assault on the front southwest of

KIIIiIea on Scene.
Henry Killilea. lonG an honored
person in baseball, had a VISIT with
Ban johnson, president Of the Amer
lean League, last night and consider
able language was exhausted on this
subject Mr.. Killilea recently returned
from Washington, where he discussed
with people high in authority the
status Of ball players.
1t is a known fact that men like
Joe Jackson, Claude Williams, Schultz
and Byrd Lynn are not qualified by
profession or trade to be OF any great
service IN shlpyaruS. But lhey can
play baseball. Therefore the agents
OF a ship concern operating on the
Atlantic coast have PACED major
leaguers by letter and in person, so
Letting their presence. This has been
done without regard to the fact that
the players arc under contract to
clubs, the ownera OF which have dis
played great patience.
Twelve members OF the white SoN
or office employees have gone into
the service. and each ono has had
the blessing OF G. 4. Comiskey. But
he seems TO be of the opinion that II
men are to play ball they better do
so for the employers who hold their
contracts. AS he pertinently observes,
II he tried TO steal any OF Mr..
Schwab's contracted help there would
be a great commotlOn.
