SAVE BUTTER AT THE TABLE

A writer says in the Farm and Fire
side:
"Carelessness about butter is a
common American sin against thrift.
In nearly every family some member
has the habit of taking huge h%elpinss
of butter which he or she does not
use. The remedy is simple. Cut
slices off the oblong pound of butter
a quarter of an inch thick, and cut
each slice into four pieces. When
the butter is served, let each member
of the family take one small piece at
a time. 1t sounds like a small econ
omy, but it is one which careful city

CHAPTER or THE AMER
ICAN RED CROSS

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. Is, 1918.
Editor of The Forum.
dear Sir
Information has come to me that q
Ecd Cross ambulance, or rather an
ambulance with Red Cross, when
called upon to take colored person
To a hospital, refused to do SO. Such
discrimination is, Of course, farthest
from the policy Of the Red Cross,
either local or national.
should like it TO be very clear
and understood that the Red Cross
Chapter in Dayton has no ambulance,
and that, no doubt, the ambulance re-
ferred to belonged to an undertaken
in the city.
We feel, however, that If such dis
elimination as has been reported took
lplace, action should be taken SO that
the Red Cros smay not be embar-
rassed thereby. Therefore, at the
next Executive Board Meeting Of the
Chapter, the matter will be taken up
for action as to whether the said
undertaking establishment may use
the insignia Of the Red Cross upon
its ambulance.
Assuring you that we here at the
Red Cross appreciate the support oil
the colored people III all Red Cross
work, and that we would be the last
ones to countenance the discrimina-
tion mentioned, am,
Very sincerely yours,

Marshal Hsig. replying to
Queen Mary's message to the
British army today telegraph
ed as follows:
The message which Your
Majesty sent to the army and
air force in the name OF the
women of the British people
will inspire with new strength
and fresh determination the
brave men from every part
OF the empire. who on the bat
tlefields of France and Flan-
ders are fighting so gallantly
for all they hold most dear.
They. with their own eyes
daily see the women and chill
dren made homeless in the
once peaceful and prosperous
villages and towns now ruined
by flames, are resolved, come
what may. that their own
love ones shall not share this
suffering.
NO peril Is too great. no
sacrifice too extreme to save
the country from such a fate.
"Side by side with our gal
liant allies. whose wrong we
feel as our own and are de-
termined to set right, we will
persevere in this fight against
all odds until victory is
achieved We are heartened
by the love and confidence OF
the women of the British en-
pire to which Your Majesty's
message has given such NOV

Dangerous Alien Enemy.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, April So
Miss Agatha Richrath, professor Of
German at Vassar College. was ar
rested today by Department of Jus
tice agents on a Presidential war
rant. charged with being a danger
Gus alien enemy.
She had been under surveillance
for some time. 1t was declared, in
connection with German propaganda
through the circularizing of nearby
towns and villages. Federal off,
cials suspect that she was largely
instrumental in directing the
movement. Hendrick Bockisch, and
DR.. Josef Stulz, a German of con-
siderable influence here, who were
arrested last week were said to
have been associated with Miss
Richrath. They are being held
while their alleged activities are
under investigation.
Miss Richrath is declared to have
given utterance frequently to her ad-
miration for the Kaiser and her
wish to return to Germany since
America declared war.

The Paris newspapers proclaim

German minister at Stockholm. and
Won dem Busche are charged with
responsibility for il. Its purpose Is
alleged to- be the stirring OF riots in

The Paris Journal SAYS that its spe-
cial correspondent at Moscow on
April "a. telegraphed a warning to his
paper to beware. of false. perverted
and tricky information then being
circulated in Russia.

nificant
The Petit Journal of Paris says that
the story must be accepted all the

the Journal, the representatives of
the allies at Stockholm whisper not
a word of it. Radios from Moscow
on April % say nothing of it. News
from Helsingfors yesterday (April
29) are equally silent. 1t is easy
to suspect the story as a part of
the pro-monarchical propaganda for

1t is the Matin which is quoted
as warning that the story was made
in Berlin.

meets the feelings expressed here
yesterday and the day before
Diplomats expressed wonderment
as to how a restored monarchy in

the monarchy could only be re-
stored by German aid. The theory

noting German propaganda OF al

known as a feeder of stories in thu

bitterly opposed to absoIutism.
Part of the proclamation re-

May 1, 1918, finds France and
the world at war. The bloody
conflict far from abating, has.
on the contrary, extended. We
are in the midst of a new and
formidable offensive through
which the German imperialists
and militarists intend to obtain
on the West front the crushing
victory they have realized in
the east"
