The pupils of $500 schools in the
Southwestern division Of the Red

started early in February.
More than 100000 children Of the

words, every child of school age who
is In school soon will be a member.
Counties Use Unique Plans.
Tens Of thousands more children
will be enrolled outside st. Louis in
the Southwestern division within the
next few weeks.
Many counties in the division have
enrolled every school, and many
unique methods have been employed
to raise the required membership fees.
In johnson County, Kansas, for in
stance, 5000 children were enrolled
as members OF the Junior Red Cross.
In order to raise money with which to
pay the enrolment fees of the chill

auction was staged. Hundreds Of the
good women of tho county baked cher

a social, and $4,000 a raised. A
committee decided that the most deli

rs years old, who is ardently interested
in Red Cross work. Her pie was bid
in by a man, also IS years old. for
$3.50.

JUNIOR RED CROSS IS
DOING SPLENDID WORK
HELPING To WIN WAR
Hundreds of Thousands in Southwest

Hundreds of thousands of children
in the Southwest are helping to win
the war for America and her allies.
There are not better patriots in the
United States, in the whole world.
In cities and towns the children, a
majority of whom are members Of the
Junior Red Cross, are working in
thrift gardens, knitting sweaters,
socks. ETC., for our soldiers, turning
old paper, rubber, metals and bottles
into cash and investing the returns in
thrift stamps and liberty bonds. max
ing refugee activity Of the Red Cross
in which they can be of service.
In the country the children, who
also generally are members of the
Junior Red Cross, are raising pigs,
sheep, rabbits, chickens, making gar
dens, doing general farm work to aid
in the production Of foodstuffs, can
ming and preserving, and like their city
cousins they are buying Thrift Stamps
and Liberty Bonds, knitting and max
ing refugee garments.
Schools Close to Aid Juniors.
Many rural schools already have sus.

of children have begun Spring and
Summer campaigns which have for
their purpose the doing of everything

the following cable from Paris Headq
At the request Of the United States
army, the American Red Cross has
just arranged to install, with all Amer
lean troops now engaged in actually
fighting the Germans, q special front
line service. This is a development Of
the front-line c%anteens through which
the American Red Cross has, during
the past six months, served more than
1000, 900 French poilus with hot drinks
and above all else given a friendly
boost right up in or near the trenches
themselves.
Today the Red Cross has Is rolling
canteens behind the lines. From these
canteens are sent forward daily, often
In the small hours OF the night, 80 or
more large recpetacles containing hot
drinks. These are served free to the
non going on or just coming off duty.
The work has proved itself to be Of
such value to the French that the
American army has asked the Red
Cross to have this service directly in
touch with the medical relief stations
nearest the front. The work is often
done under heavy shell fire and re-
quires men Of great bravery and sym.

change. Inquiry was made at the banks
today as to the extent to which women
have been employed to take the places
Of men who have gone to serve their
country. An officer Of one Of these
banks made a guess of 10 to 80 per cent
in the various institutions in the city
as measure of the change from men
to women in the clerical force.
Careful selection must be made of
the women that are to perform these
duties. To many members of the super
ior sex figures are frightful things. \
banker of this city states that there is
one woman in his employ that is worth
two ordinary men and several that are
quite on a par with a highly qualified
bank clerk.
Canada has had long and success
full experience in the employment OF
women in the banks. Many months ago
their offices were n very flower garden
of femininity and doubtless the prepon-
derance of women is still greater at the
present time. That country is far ahead
of ours in the matter Of using all avail

U. s. NAVY GREAT HELP.
Correspondence Between British Al.
miraIty and Daniels Given Out.

London, May 14.-Letters exchanged
between Josephus Daniels, American
secretary of the navy and Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord Of the British admir-
atty were made public by the British
admiralty. Secretary Daniels wrote.
your reference to the splendid
spirit of cooperation between the
navies of our countries and your
our navy have been most grateful to
me and to all Americans. The bright
est spot in the tragedy of this great
war is this mutual appreciation of the
men in the naval service.
Our officers who have returned
confirm the statements of Admiral
Sims commander in chief of the
American naval forces in British
waters) of the courtesies and kindness
shown in every way by the admiralty
and the officers Of the British fleet.
II had hoped to have the pleasure of
visiting Great Britain and of personal
ly expressing this feeling Of mutual
working together, but the task here OF
making ready more and more units for
the fleet is very serious one and my
duty chains me here.
"The order in all the navy is full
speed ahead in the construction Of de-
stroyers and other craft, and the
whole service is keyed up to press this
program forward Therefore, shall
not have the pleasure, until this pro-
gram shall materialize, Of personal
acquaintance and conference which
would be OF such interest and value
Sir Eric Geddes replied
IT am exceedingly grateful for your
letter. AS you know. we. all Of us here,
have great admiration for your officers
and men and for the splendid help
they are giving in European waters.
Further. we find Admiral Sims invalu-
able in counsel and in cooperation.
81 fully appreciate how onerous your
office must be at the present time and
much tho 1 regret that you do not see
your way to visiting this country in
the near future, I hope we may some
day have the pleasure of welcoming
you here"

large quantities of cold water on the
idea of young women writing to SOL
diers and receiving letters from SOL

the practice is a very bad one. He
does not discourage the girls cor
responding with their sweethearts and
actual acquaintance. but he is not in
favor of the ndiscriminate correspond

these stranger soldiers at least some
of them, write a large number of let

kind of love talk, making promises OF
