WHERE RED CROSS DOLLARS GO
A. r. c. Rays

During the past seventeen months
the women of the American Red Cross
have produced total of POI ,004 900
necessary articles, according to re-
part Just made public by the War
Council at National headquarters.
They We're: Surgical dressings, 253,-
10000; knitted articles, 14,0S9, 900;
refugee garments, 1,464 900; hospital
garments and supplies, 22,255, 900.
Working with raw materials valued
at $4,000, 900, these women produced
finished articles valued at $59, ,O00, 900
during the past year alone.
The American Red Cross has be-
come one of the worlds greatest man
ufacturing concerns having over g.
100000 active workers, many Of
whom have now become expert. Prac-
tically every one of Americas soldiers
who has crossed the Atlantic has car
ried with him some of the knitted ar
ticles furnished by the Red Cross,
such as mufflers, sweaters, socks, hell
NETS and wristlets.
All the men on this side in need Of
knitted goods who are in camps or
cantonments will be similarly sup
piled this winter, as will also many OF
our allied troops and thousands OF
impoverished refugees in the war
stricken districts.
That the American Red Cross has
not forgotten our valiant allies ID
shown by the fact that France, Eng
land, Serbia, Italy, the Palestine, and
Russia have received gross total Of
227 ,236,548 garments during the past
year. A number Of these must have
been old garments.
Hundreds of millions of yards Of
gauze, hundred million yards of fab
ric, and millions of pounds of yarn
have been purchased since the entry
of America into the war and made in
to useful garments of varied sorts for
the use of our soldiers, sailors and
allies.
1t has been the supreme duty Of the
American Red Cross to assist the
army and navy authorities in every
way to supplement their efforts to
care fer the fighting men at the front
and on their way to the front.
In carrying on this work in France,
the Red Cross has expended up to
June 80, 1918, the sum Of SIS, ass, ,050.
The appropriation for the six months
from June 80 to December 81, 1918,
amounts to $685. Alb.
Some idea of the extent to which
Red Cross service in France penetrat-
ed to the most intimate needs Of our
American troops and their allies dur
ing the fighting, may be had when It
is stated that the field Kitchens in use
were serving meals to 250 men at ono
time. These kitchens cost 81, 400 each
Hot drink kitchens located along the
roadside for emergency work cost
$3.50 each and were able to serve $500
cups of hot drink in q day Of twenty
four hours.
The sum Of $7OO pays for an ice
making plant. These were in operation
at four hospital units Of twenty-five
tents each, and at six other places. In
addition, the four hospital units were
provided with electric lighting plants,
costing $1,755 each.
The Red Cross put thirty laundries
/ into operation, each Of which can do
the laundry work for 1000 men, and
each plant costing 5000.
At cost Of $500 each, the Red
Cross provided mobile bath and steril-
izing plants, which take care Of the
needs Of from fifty to two hundred
imen an hour

WHY THE DEMOCRATIC ADMIN

The following is taken from Current
Events,a condensed newspaper, week

and of course, having no political ten
dency. The object of the paper is to
keep the children up on current events
and explain them briefly. Under the
heading, what Caused IT." the pap
er says:
Everywhere people are asking
What did it, Why did the people
,ote as they did? Why did they sharp
y rebuke an administration that had
lone such great things and was just
concluding a successful war? Many
explanations have been offered, but
none seemed to completely fit the
facts. Perhaps the most plausible
was the theory that great numbers Of
people didn't like, the peace notes, re.
sented their polite tone and didn't
think the time had come to eni the
war. These people wece reinforced
by voters at the other extreme-the
Germans, pro-Germans and pacifists,
all Of whom voted for the Republican
congressional candidates as a means
of rebuking President Wilson for his
ianti-Germanism. II was perhaps q

Not so, Friend Mendenhall. The
government has already bought up
over two hundred million of these
bonds at 90 and quarter, and effect
lively stopped the attempted hammer
ing down by New York gamblers of
finance This makes a tidy penny for
Uncle Sam, prevents further deprecia-
-ion of our securities and when the
next Liberty Loan comes up, the
bankers will put up their share of this
money again at par. In Liberty
Loan, such as this war has brought
out. if the people do not subscribe the
banks are compelled to, a compulsion
that, thank God, has never been nee
essary.
As q matter of fact, the deprecia-
ton was in part caused by the feared
peace panic" which has been pretty
well discounted by now. There is of
course, bound to be a dislocation of
