How can any human being,

refuse to give, and give liber-

and refuse, must indeed be de-

The American Red Cross
What 1t Is and What 1t Is Doing
in This War

1t is the worlds interna-
tional ideal of mercy; it knows
no bounds of racial, religious
or political separation. Wher-
ever and whenever war, pesti-
lence, storm, flood or disaster
has brought suffering, want or
distress, there it has gone and
brought relief and ready hands
of unselfish aid.
In this war, it transports
vast quantities of medical and
other relief supplies, food
stuffs, clothing, building mate
rial, etc., across the Atlantic
then conveying them by Red
Cross motor trucks to large
warehouses, hospitals, ETC., in
France.
1t protects our soldiers in
France. 1t has established
rest stations inland towards
the camps, located at junction
points and railroad stations.
These are equipped with in
frmaries, dispensaries, rest
rooms, reading rooms, dormi-
tories and restaurants; taking
care Of the needs Of our BOYS
cover there" in the most eff
Gent way.
At the front it has estab-
lished rolling canteens, which
go right down to the trenches,
supplying soldiers with steam
ing bouillon or coffee in win
ter, or cold drinks in summer;
besides having established sta
tionary canteens where fight
ing men going on leave from
battle fronts, tired, hungry
and infected, are treated, fed
and housed; in fact, made
comfortable in every way. 1t
administers help and care for
the wounded in base and mill
tary hospitals throughout the
French republic, where angels
of mercy nurse our wounded
and sick boys back to health
and strength.
The American Red Cross has
established ia c tories in
France, where artificial limbs
are being manufactured for
permanently disabled soldiers;
also from fifty to sixty schools
to re-educate mutilated SOL
diers so that they may again
be able to earn a permanent
livelihood. And we may keep
on writing columns upon
columns yea, pages upon

"Red Cross" is doing for hui

One Vote Turns
Russia to Agree
tOTeutOnPeace

Petrograd Wednesday. Feb. 90
DELAYED. THE decision of the SOL
diers' and workmen's delegates to &C
cept the German peace terms was
reached by majority of only one
vote, after a heated debate lasting
throughout Monday night.
Premier Lenine, Foreign Minister
Trotzky, Ensign Krylenko, comman-
der-in-chief, and many other leaders
addressed the council. Military men
explained the impossibity of offering
effective resistance. but no decision
was reached until messages had been
received showing that the Germans
had captured Dvinsk with ease and
were advancing all along the front.
This news reached the council early
Tuesday morning and influenced the
delegates to decide for peace. Before
the capture of Dvinsk, Premier Len
inc said he was opposed to peace but
finally urged that peace must be OBJ
tanned at any price in order to insure
the reconstruction of Russia He said
the Germans were advancing on a
solid front from the north to the
south.
The announcement Of Russia's de-
cision to accept the German terms was
sent by wireless at o'clock Tuesday
morning. At first the German wire
less station showed disposition to re-
fuse to take the message but finally
four hours later acknowledged it.
Bolsheviki leaders held repeated
conferences throughout Tuesday and
later in the afternoon received the
German reply, refusing to accept the
wireless message as official and re-
questing that delegation be sent to
Dvinsk to confer with regard to peace
| The Russian press is divided as to
the wisdom Of the councils action.
Bolsheviki leaders declare that i
the German advance continues they
will defend Petrograd with the rec
guard and harass the German advance
I by guerilla warfare. No plans hat
| been made for evacuation of the city.
The Bolshevikf say this is a new
war, not the old war. and that the,
will present united front against tn,
Germans. They believe the proletaria
of Russia will be able to continue tn,
struggle.

vice Through Ending Competition

Washington, Feb. 21.-Fast passen-
ger train competition between New
York and Chicago, Chicago and St.
Louis, Washington and southern points
and other important passenger term
inals will be eliminated soon, the rail-
road administration announced today.
Certain roads will be selected for the
fast passenger trains and other lines
devoted more exclusively to freight
traffic.
Investigation has been made by A.
H. Smith. regional director for the
east to determine whether the New
York Central Pennsylvania or Balti-
more and Ohio should be used for fast
passenger trains between New York
and Chicago. 1t is understood the
New York Central is being considered
most favorably because of heavy
freight on the other two lines.
The elimination between Chicago
and st. Louis is under consideration
by R. H. Ashton. regional director at
Chicago c. H. Markham, regional di-
rector for the south, is working on
the south
By this means the railroad admins
tration hopes to save many millions
of dollars without mountaineering
