Red Cross To Help
Flu Injected Districts

Cities and towns needing nurses
and hospitals supplies to- care
for influenza cases among civil
ians must make their needs
known through their local health
officer and local Red eros. Chap
ter and not apply direct TO Red
Cross division headquarters.
The same procedure holds
good for military schools .estab-
lished in colleges which may be
stricken with the epidemic.
This statement was ISSUED at
Lake Division headquarters this
afternoon as result Of the con-
fusion arising among civilian
population and student soldiers
needing nursing care and sup
plies.
If local Red Cross resources
and public health resources are
not adequate, local health officers
can get help from Division he'd
Cross headquarters it their state
boards of health Request 1T.
All chapters have been pro
vided with full instructions as
to procedure, relationship with
local boards of health and with
the division beadQuarters,. Mean
while the Lake Division is still
sending nurses and hospital
supplies direct to military camps
almost as quickly as requisl
tons are received. New requisi-
tions are on hand from Camp
Taylor, Sherman and Buell..
All graduates and practical
nurses are again urged to COM
municate with their nearest Red
Gross chapter for assignment.
Chapters have received full
instructions how to carry out
survey of their local nursing re-
sources and all nursay are re.
peatedly being urged nfs to go
out on any influenza ash nments
without some authorization from
the Red Cross. This is to enable
the Red Cross to keep constant
inventory of the number and
kind of nurses available. With
out this Inventory, according to
the statement from division head.
quarters, confusion will result.
Today's instructions to Rec
Cross chapters from James L.
Fieser, chairman of the division
Com mittee on Influenza, suggest
that local chapters organize
groups of lay women to augment
the professional nursing forces If
necessary. The instructions,
however, point out that the or
ganization of such women should
include only those who are,
through some previous training
or experience, qualified for mem
bership in this important auxili-
airy force.

Unless IL change for the better takes

What VIII Win the War?
National War-Savings Committed

National War-SavingS Committed
The Ncr York Tribune recently said
etlitorially that Victory is a question
of MEANS" and then it went Oh to list
the means. These are:
First, the raw materials.
Second. the plants where raw mate
rails are converted by industrial pro-
cesSeS into sinewS of war.
Third, the labor to act upon the raw
materials.
Fourth, the fighting man power in
uniform.
Fifth, transportation.
Labor and materials, in other words.
are what are necessary to win the war.
What, then. is the duty Of all of us?
Obviously what we must do is to pro
duce all that is possible and consume
as little as necessary and give the Gov
eminent our utmost financial support.
If we follow this creed. we shall
leave for the Government more labor
and materials for strictly war pur-
poses and we shall accumulate savings
for investment in War-Savings Stamps.
Thus we shall help both the Govern
ment and ourselves.

Roosevelt Propaganda.

From the Ruston Leadcr.1
Talking about German propaganda,
but there is some Roosevelt propa-
ganda that begun its circulation on
Sunday by appearing in the press OF
America.
During the past year the action
of the administration, taken largely
through the postottice Department,
has been such as to render it a matter
of some danger for anybody, and espe-
cially a newspaper, to speak the truth.
especially if the truth be unpleasant
to the administration" is brief por-
ton of Roosevelt's statement.
We cannot understand why ROOse-
welt is permitted to make such state
ments in times of war. What has he
done for America: Hunting wild game
in Africa has been no good to us. Civ
ing the wrong command in the Spanish
American War and being saved him
self by a negro troop. did not display
any wonderful amount of gray matter
in that Uranium Of his
Breaking up political convention
and starting one of his own, because
he did not get the nomination for Pres
ident. showed cOnclusively that it was
not America that he had at heart. Try
ing to 90 to Germany. in hurry, with
out trained men. to lick the Kaiser,
would have been foolhardy.
He has been yelping about prepar-
ednesS. What did he do about making
preparations for the future when he
was President!
We can say just one thing about
Roosevelt. Roosevelt is one of the
greatest publicists i'm the world. He
can get more free advertising than
Henry Ford. and all Henry has to do
is to make Il trip to Washington or
change the style of the radiator on
