POLITICS ARE OUSTED
FROM THE RED CROSS.

Politics and the Red Cross must
not be mixed.
That statement comes direct from
the War Council of the American
Red Cross, at Washington, and APP
plies to everybody connected with the
chapters as well as the higher organ
ization.
1t means that if anybody at present
connected with the Red Cross wants
to run for a public Office he or she,
must resign from the Red Cross.
The reasons for the drastic course
will be apparent to every one. The
Red Cross must maintain its non
partisan, non-political character in
asmuch as it is supported by all cit
liens regardless of party affiliations.
The approaching elections are the
first general elections since this
country entered the war and the War
Council is acting we'll in advance to
assure the proper conduct by all Red
Cross workers.

COL DARNED APE
ESCAPES KEEPER,
CHAWS P~ERTATERS.

Washington.-Charlie Chaplin, the
big ape now being exhibited at Ches-
apeake beach, is back in his cage at
ter a wild dash for freedom that ter
rorized excursionists and compelled
his attendants to institute an all
night search.
1t all happened because Charlie
didn't like the looks of his attendant.
When the attendant opened the door
of the cage to lead Charlie out for
his afternoon performance, the ape
pushed him square in the face, knock
ing him head over heels. With a wild
grin on his face, the ape then raced
along the boardwalk, leaped to the
sandy beach, scampered among the
frightened bathers, and took for the
woods al a lively clip. Three dogs
and numerous attendants took up the
chase. Night fell and all during the
hours of darkness the attendants
secured the woods, flashing search
lights in vain.
Soon after dawn the telephone at
the office of the manager of the ape
at the beach rang. A farmer was at
the other end.
See hyere,' he said, "did yer know
that that air gol darned ape of yourn
is perched up on top of my barn
chawing up all of my pertaters?"
Charlie was called for Immediate
ly.
