death by the French government after
being found guilty of treason. Mr..
Lewis called attention yesterday to
three instances where he asserts
Hearst met Bolo Pacha and said:
''In calling attention to the three
meetings | am not limiting it to those
three, understand | said the other
day that | would show that Hearst did
not tell the truth when ne said that he
had met Bolo only once. On August

Mr. Hearst in which he said:
"'That is all have ever known or
seen or heard of Bolo'
"Mr. Hearst referred to the luncheon
at which he says Bolo consulted him
about the cost of print paper and asked
where it could be obtained In nv

"'Mr. Hearst knew when he made

The Three Meetings
II now call Mr. Hearst's attention to
these facts. Mr. Jean Fnot had
sent letter of introduction et
Bolo to Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. Finot
requested Charles Bertell, who was
in the employ of Mr.. Hearst, tc
interest himself in Bolo's matter. Mr..
Hearst invited Bolo to lunch with him
almost Immediately upon his arrival in
New York. A day or two later Bolo
gave a dinner at Sherry's in compl-
ment to Mr.. Hearst, at which both Mr.
and Mrs. Hearst were present. Before
Bolo's departure Mr.. Hearst gave to
Bolo a farewell supper preceded by a
theatre party.
mir. Hearst will hardy deny these
statements. OF course, he cannot har-
monize them with the statement which
he made on October 5, 1917, in the ar
tlcle in which he attacked me.
"Mr. Hearst has made no reply to nv
statement of August 3 He probably
will not reply to this statement.
Doubtless he prefers to allow the mat
ter to be forgotten. I shall, however,
be in a position presently to give fur
ther details showing the intimate rela-
tons between Mr. Hearst and the
French traitor. Bolo Pacha"
Bids for Favors

Last week Mr.. Hearst made the

vitally Important to him that he have

THE HANDLING OF
RED CROSS MONEY.

In an explanation of the handling of
Red Cross money, Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the War. Council of the
Red Cross, says the largest salary in
the organization is 81, 500. 90, and this
is paid to one individual, but did name
him, or the total paid in salaries. The
many thousands Of those who give lib
orally to this very important and nee
essary fund, would no doubt like to
know of the financial standing Of this
one particular man. Even if he can be
rightly classed among the struggling
masses, he is well paid, and unless he
gives literally of that amount to said
fund, he is not to be classed with the
poor, struggling man or woman who
gives lonely dollar. But perchance
he is blessed with such an abundance
of this worlds goods that the income
therefrom would be bonanza for the
average American home, what then?
Mr.. Dawson also reports that for
every dollar given to the fund little
more than dollar goes for relief, be-
cause overhead expenses are all paid
from membership dues with some left
Further, he cites that war fund money
is at once placed in a bank upon its re-
ceipt, and thus far, through accured
interest each dollar put in is worth 81 OF
when taken out for relief work.
On the whole this should be quite
satisfactory to those interested in Red
Cross work. which means everybody.
Too much credit cannot be given the
wonderful voluntary and untiring ser
vice rendered by those who cross the
Atlantic and brave the hardships and
dangers of shell SCARED and blood
stained Europe

FULL-TlME WORK.
Chicago Tribune.

Ahlchso l1lDuut.
"Work or fight T. says the war de.
partment. The order applies to al
men of draft age not inow engaged in
useful occupations. 1t is intended to
force every man to do his bit in the
tremendous work of defeating Ger
many. But a man may held a useful
job and still be shameful Stacker.
From several industries come reports
that workmen are not willing Ito work
six days each week. In three, four or
five days, at the present high rate of
wages. they earn enough to satisfy
them. For the remainder of the week
they knock off work.
The man who refuses toIwork, unless
for good cause, is traitor to the men
who are fighting our battles in Europe
To work full time, overtime, and holi-
days, if necessary, is little to do for us
who, safe at home, suffer none of the
hardships and perils Of war.
The case is so plain we believe any
man who has it fairly presented to him
will admit its compelling force and be
controlled by it. We have no doubt of
the loyalty of labor. Leaders of or
gained labor have demonstrated their
devotion, They have still another task
before them
When the man whose full-time work
is necessary for the support of our
armies abroad lies down on his job,
he should be treated not only as a
Stacker but as a traitor.

was so abject that members of Congress
