A WISE DECISION.

Criticism having been made of a Red Cross
appropriation for medical research, including
vivisection, the Red Cross war council at Wash
ington announces that money will be used for
such purposes hereafter and such money as has
been used will be refunded to the Red Cross.
In reaching this decision not to use Red
Gross funds for research work. the war council
says it does not take sides for against vivsec-
ton, but in view of the large number Of Red
Cross members who object to research work it
was deemd wise to eliminate such expenditures.
Hereafter all Red Cross funds will be used for
relief work as all members understand and ap-
prove it.
The sincere convictions of a considerable
body of Red Gross members thus respected
by the Red Cross without in any sense passing
judgment upon the wisdom or unwisdom of re-
search work

INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA.

Many wiseacres sneer at the notion that Rus
STA is likely to fight again the side Of the
tente powers. Colonel Thompson, who went to
Russia with the Red Cross commission, pre-
diets that Russia will ''come back Thomas
W. Lamont, of the firm of j. P. Morgan & Co.,
says that he believes something great will hap
pen'' to bring Russia back into the fold What
the something great may be he did not de-
fine. The Ukranian rada has passed a resolu-
ton for the continuation Of the war against the
bolsheviki.
The German assumption that Russia had col
lapsed because Lenine and Trotsky agreed to
make separate peace was premature. On the
principle that when things come to their worst
they must mend, Russia cannot remain much
longer in her present anarchic condition The

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS WAR RE-
LIEF WORK.

About 29,50O articles were prepared
and sent to enlisted men and war refu-
gees by the comforts forwarding COM
Scientists of the Boston district dur
ing the first three months of the COM
mittee work. Among the goods for
warded were 10000 knitted articles
and comfort kits, $500 articles of new
clothing for French, Belgian, and
Serbian refugee children, and about
5000 selected secondhand or remade
articles of clothing.
One American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods, total
ing $500 pieces, to equip all the sail
ors on board. A large number Of the
knitted garments and other comforts
have been turned over to the different
war relief associations in Boston
which are in direct communication
with the people of their respective
countries, notably the British, French,
Italian, and Belgian associations.
Some of the recruits from Boston for
the British and Canadian forces were
supplied with knitted articles before
they left home.
A feature of the comforts forward
ing committees work which has
brought splendid results is the unit
system" of preparing new garments
for refugee children. Ten Of the COM
mittee were first instructed in the
making of model garment, each OF
the ten instructed ten others and the
latter became captains of teams of
ten others whom they in turn instruct
ed. Two groups OF team captains meet
at the committees rooms every day to
receive instructions and material for
use by themselves and the members
of their respective teams. who work
at leisure moments at home. Thus
lilo sewers are banded together for
this particular part of the committees
program and they are turning out an
average OF over 1000 garments week.
In this work, they have been greatly
assisted by one OF the patriotic manu-
featuring companies of Boston, which
offered and has undertaken to do all
the cutting required for these gar
ments.
Before beginning to sew for the
refugees of any country, the commit
tee ascertained not only what articles
were needed but also the form and
material desired, SO far as was pos
sible. 1t was learned, for instance,
that SO comm on an article Of general
use as a pillow-case was, in one coun-
try for which the teams were sewing,
very unlike the pillow-case Of the
American home. For knitters, wool is
sold over the counter, instructions are
given, and the finished garment is re-
turned to the committees headquar-
tiers when ready. In addition, there
are four knitting machines in oper.
alton, On each of which it Is possible
to knit a pair of socks in twenty min
utes.
Much praise has been given to the
comfort forwarding committee of the
Christian Scientists by Persons asso-
ciated with other relief organizations, |
for the high quality of the articles pro- |
duced and the systematic manner OF |
their productions. Nearly 500 such !
committees are conducted by Christian |
Scientists throughout the United |
States.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
WITH SPRING At HAND

With spring at hand and daffodils aglow,
What of the land where only red blooms blow?
Where the moist winds that fan the lurid night
Sweep through the shrapnels flight?
What of the which strikes it's dying blow
That violets for may bloom and grow?
For will Easter lilies softly smile
Down the gray dusk of some cathedral AISLE
While to the lannon's choral shall kneel
Where thrust of steel smites steel.
For will grace the Easter
While to their Maker souls unshriven pass.
True it seems folly to remember care
When the peach boughs are pink and skies fair,
But to forget were treason. Over there
The lily does not bloom. But Just one year,
One little year ago. and they were here,
Laughed and were happy,
Lived clean lives and strong
Who for their trust forsook the bluebird's song,
The budding land,
To snatch the wet blade from the falling hand,
And for the world, for us, children Garry on"
Elizabeth Eakin Compton, in Leslie's Weekly.

END AIRPI.ANE DELAYS.

The Aero Club of America has appealed to
President Wilson to end delays in building our
airship fleet. This plea stimulates interest in
two phases Of the situations first, the means by
which the president may end the delay; second,
the reasons why such means could not have been
adopted by those responsible for .airship con-
struction without an enforced appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson The public assured six
months ago that it had reason to expect excel
lent results in production of an air fleet. The
new motor developed in this country was re-
ported to be an important contribution to war
aircraft designing. Plans by which standardiz-
ing of production was to be brought about were
given publicity. Our own press, re-echoed by
that of England and France, hopefully specu-
lated on the part our fleet was to play in an of
fensive on Germany This was all the public
was told about the matter until the revelations
of complete disappointment of it's hopes were
made. What has been the matter' It would
seem that President Wilson did not know; he
appointed special investigator to find out for
him and even this investigation is now dis
credited at the capital The public would well
come aSstatement of facts about this deplorable
fiasco in advertised efficiency. Moreover, it
would welcome knowledge that the responsible
ity for it has been located and steps to meet out
Justice and institute remedial measures have
been taken.

Some misunderstanding seems to prevail as
to the workings of the soldiers and sailors civil
relief act This act does not relieve soldier or
sailor from financial responsibility Of pre-war
standing without further action. Whenever
payment of an obligation is due, if a soldier or
sailor wishes adjustment for the period of the
war some representative must on his behalf no.
tify the proper court that the party concerned
is in military naval service. The court is
then required under the act to make prompt in
quiry into the matter at issue and to pass on
the legitimacy for claim to financial exemption
for the period of the under the terms of the
law. The same procedure applies in case law

 Provisions
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 1e.-Moder- atcly wide lowerane in the trading in cotton today were followed by a re- action toward the close and net de- cline was established under liberal liquidation of long contracts. During the greater part of session steadiness was displayed but there was a sudden slump toward the end when offerings increased. Irregularity was displayed around the opening but the market moved up to an advance of 50 to 73 points. From this it fel to d level five to forty points under the closing quotations of yesterday, the distant months showing more weakness than the near. Last prices were at net loss es of to 15 points.
 The buying of the session was chief ly due to the announcement from Washington that the war industries board had recommended that no fur ther price fixing be done in the cotton goods market.
 Cotton closed steady at decline of , to 1J points.

MEXICAN GOLD.

Mexico City, Nov. 17.-Betterment of the exchange rate on United States and Mexican gold is one of the most significant developments in this re- public of the recent allied successes in the world war and the peace over lures of the Central Powers. At one time exchange stood at nearly oV' which meant that holders of Amer ican money who changed it into Mexican coin lost 20 cents American on each dollar. Since the Teutonlc powers cry of "kamarad," however exchange has dropped to 52, whicn means that only cents American IS sacrificed on each dollar in the pro- cess of exchange.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Nov. 16.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular today. Advances met selling from southern sources, while there was trade buying on the decline, and busi- ness otherwise was attributed large ly to even up of accounts for over the week end. The close was steady at net decline of to 55 points. Af- ter selling at 2900 early January broke to 27.95 rallied to 2S.75 and closed at 2S.00.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 15 to 90 points on over- night buying orders with December selling at 2970 and March at 2S25 on the call. Ill the case of aJnuary con- tracts this made an advance of 3 1-2 cents per pOudn from the low level of Wednesday and of 25 points from the closing price of the Saturday before the signing of the armistice. There was heavy realizing at those figures. There were rather violent reactions during the early trading. The market then firmed up again on covering and selling and late months made new low ground ill the later trading. De- cember closed at 2S.65 and March at 27.75.
 The absence of Liverpool orders was again attributed largely to con- gestion of the cables while the ap- pearance of southern selling orders on the advances increased the disposi- tion to take profits on long cotton.
 Cotton closed steady.
