RED CROSS NOTES
Important!

Red Cross workers pleas take no
tice. New SUMMER schedule.
During the absence of Mrs. Alice
Woodrough Chapman, the class in
surgical dressing will be in charge of
Mrs. L. D. Vinson, who is recent
graduate of Mrs. Chapman's class.
For the convenience of the workers
Mrs. Chapman has arranged the fol-
lowing daily schedule. Cut it out and
paste it on your mirror and you will
know at a glance the day on which
you will find the most congenial work.
Schedule
Mondays-U nbleached muslin.
Tuesdays-Gauze dressings.
Wednesdays-Un bleached muslin.
Thursdays = Outing flannel, pneu-
monia jackets, heel rings, paper-back-
ed and absorbant pads.
Fridays-Gauze dressings.
Saturdays-Oakum pads.
Mrs. Chapman is planning a much
needed rest for week or two, prior
to her return to Long Island, where
she will again instruct classes in sur
gical dressings.
1t is impossible to over-estimate
Mrs. Chapman's work for the Tarpon
Springs Chapter. 1t is largely through
her efforts that it is one of the most
deficient and up-to-date chapters in
Florida.
Mrs. Chapman will take with her to
her next field of work the admiration
and gratitude of her host of friends
here.
Hers has been a labor of love and
can be repaid only in kind.

To Principals and Teachers:
By act of congress, duly approved
by the present, every time piece in the
United States is to be set forward
one hour on March 31st.
The reasons for this change need
not be considered now. It is the law
of the land and should be explicitly
obeyed.
This law practically says: Begin
ming April LIST, every business must
open one hour earlier. Every person
must begin his duties one hour
earlier" So that any revision in pres
ent schedules to Offset the effect of
this change of time, would certainly
be violation of the spirit and intent
Therefore the County School Board
has instructed me to advise that there
will be no change whatever in any of

prize it very highly, for all it repre-

said that the ladies are all united IN

SERUM is FOUND
FOR PNEUMONIA
Recent Discovery by Army Doctors Ex-
pected to Help Check Spread of
Influenza.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Vaccination
with a recently discovered serum, which
from tests just completed at several army
camps has been found to be an almost
positive preventive of contraction of
pneumonia, will be used to combat the
epidemic of Spanish influenza which last
week made it's appearance in every
state and in all but few army camps,
causing many deaths.
Use of the vaccine will be widely ex-
tended, congress having appropriated
81 100000 to be used by the public health
service in fighting Spanish influenza and
other communicable diseases.
The serum has been used to a limited
extent in several camps, but no announce
ment had been made of its discovery
pending the results of widespread tests.
Physicians connected with the army med
ical school developed the formula for the
serum, which, it was stated last night
| is now being manufactured in quantities
sufficient to provide for the treatment of
$4,000 persons daily. The serum is de-
| signed to prevent pneumonia, which often
| follows attacks of influenza and which is
the cause of practically all the deaths at.
tributed to influenza.
I Only one treatment with the vaccine
| is needed, although in the early stages OF
i its development three vaccinations were
! found necessary.

THE BALKAN STATES.
Trouble breeding Section of Europe
Started War and May End It.

Recent dispatches regarding allied
successes in Serbia and Bulgaria, con-
sidered in connection with military
events in Palestine, Siberia, Italy and
France, are causing some speculation
as to whether or not the decisive
struggle in this great war is to take
place in the trouble breeding section
of Europe in which it began-the
Balkans. For many years the world S
sages predicted that these quarrel
some little states would one day set
the world on fire, and they did, at most
frightful cost, but through no fault of
their own; and, perhaps, one of these
states-Bulgaria- take the first
step in the making of lasting world
peace, by surrendering TO the allies.
The Bulgarian press is said to be
even now almost unit in favor of
peace, and as the armies of the allies
| proceed further to overrun that eoun-
| try the desire for a speedy termination
| of hostilities is bound to increase. For
tunately there is no such hideous indict-
ment pending against Bulgaria as there
| is against Germany, and there should
be no great difficulty in arranging peace
terms with this little Balkan state
/
and when Bulgaria makes peace the
back of the central powers viii be
broken, for Turkey-cut off from all
hope of future assistance from her more
powerful allies and with her armies in
Palestine captured or destroyed-must
speedily sue for peace at any price
Austria, already weakened and dis.
eouraged by domestic deprivations and
racial difficulties as well as by military
losses, win then be unable to resist the
demand of her people for peace or
whatever terms may be possible, espe
lcially since such terms will doubtless bt
much less harsh than those to which hel
northern ally must submit. And the1
Germany, the criminal in this mon
strous plot for world-conquest and sub
iugation, stripped of all outside aid
must submit to the only possible term
of unconditional surrender, or Learn

PROTEST AGAINST
USING SHOTGUNS
Germany Warns United States That
Reprisals Will Be Made in
the Future

AMSTERDAM, Sept 30.-Germany.
through the Swiss legation, has sent an
ultimatum to the government of the
United States that if no satisfactory
answer is forthcoming by Oct / to the
German protest about the use of shot
guns by American soldiers "reprisals
will be taken.
A semi-official telegram from Berlin
gives the following additional details of
the note:
From prisoners captured during a
skirmish between patrols on July 81 a
repeating shotgun was taken. The pris-
Oners, who belonged to American Infan-
try Regiment 307 of the 18th Division,
stated their patrol possessed three such
guns, each loaded with six cartridges
and each cartridge containing nine
shots of size co.
Another shotgun was captured on
Sept. II from the Sd Infantry Regiment
of the 5Sth American division
The use Of such weapons is forbidden
by The Hague convention as causing
unnecessary suffering. The German gov
eminent protests energetically and ex-
poets from the United States govern
ment that steps win be taken immedi-
ately to discontinue the employment of
shotguns.
1t is pointed out to the government
of the United States that prisoner
on whom shotgun or shotgun ammuni
tion is found forfeits his life.

PRAISES OUR CAVALRY.
French Army Officer Says They Have
Qualities of Perfect Scout.

A French army officer writing in the
Paris edition of the New York Herald
praises the work of the American cavalry
men and says it viii prove equal in quail
ty to their glory covered infantry com
rades The following photographic are
taken from one of his articles:
Having excellent eyesight, knowing
how to hook and see far ahead, never hes
itating to push ahead with fine courage
under fire to reeonnoitre the enemy's po
sition, the Americans have all the quail
ties of the perfect scout. They ride with
ease. but their riding position is Very
different from ours While our cavalry
men have short stirrups, the knee high,
the calf against the side of their mount
and, when galloping. sit very tight to
their horse, the Americans stand on long
stirrups, with the calf well away from
the horse. Both methods are good. as
both tend to good riding 1t is amusing
to note that in France our way of rid
ing is called "a 'americaine, while
believe on the other side of the Atlantic
they call their way "a la franchise"
Most of the horses used by the Ameri-
cans are half breeds from the South OF
France. We envied some of their very
rne Iarbals and Anglo-Ara OF good
breed. These horses are in good condi
| ton and well fed. They would perhaps
be better for little more minute care
and if the packs they carry were lighter
and better adjusted. 1t must not be for
gotten that the allied armies are using
! up enormous numbers of horses, and it il
of the greatest Importance to keep tn,
horses in service as long as possible. Elk
perience shows that daily care is abso
lutely necessary for tits purpose.
! am convinced that the American
cavalry viii prove itself on the battlefield
equal in quality to the magnificent Amer
lean infantry which has already covere,
itself with glory. We must not expec
them to accomplish marvellous storybool
feats of riding or epic charges There i
none of that in this war. The part playe,
/ by the cavalry working for the infantr,
may be less glorious and appeal less t.
the imagination, but it is none the les
very useful. This part the American
cavalry fills, with the great faith in tn
future and the great confidence in com
ing victory which animate all the men.
