THE TRAIN THAT SAVED

How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
in Roumania when that stricken nation
stood in rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag.
edies until this greater horror struck
blow that reused still untouched
sympathles.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
l, so terribly weak in our ability to of.
fer aid. But were we? After all,
were we not the very ones who car.
ried new life and hope to the heart Of
Roumania? You shall be your own
judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered ROumanian army
still struggled to beat Off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns, who were mercilessly
trampling the life out Of the little
Kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru.
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines,
attacking the fighting men Of Rouma.

where mothers chung to the frail, dis
torted forms of their babies-was star.
walton.
No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword OF the Kal.
ser was closing in. brave little ma.
ton was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn.
ing the streets of Jassy. the war CAPT.
tai Of Roumania. sweled with sounds
Of rejoicing. city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the iamenta-
tons of those mourning their dead
now was awakened by shouts Of Joy.
You, my friend; you who have help
ed in the heroic work Of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue Of
Roumania. A train of 81 big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food. clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons of it, had arrived In Jassy
after making record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed. it; thousands were fed
and clothed and nursed back to health.
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our
own Red Cross.
So was Roumania helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
of a sturdy nation was kept out Of the
hands of the terrible Huns it will give
the victory to your american Red
Cross.

st. Louis, May 14.-Nearly 1000
Iowa soldiers will be Quartered at JEFF
ferson barracks, on the outskirts of St
Louis by tonight.
/ The Iowans are arriving on every
train, and are being equipped and
prepared for assignment to duty as
rapidly as they detrain.
Their stay at jefferson barracks will
be brief at best. Many men are re-

hours before they are sent on their
way to their final training camp. The
men are being sent to all parts of the
country and are assigned to the units
to which they are specially fitted. ~
large proportion will probably be in
France before many weeks.
At any time during the day squads
of men in civilian attire may be seen
walking up to the large building, which
is reserved for drafted men. AS the
men arrive they are given a number
on a metal disk coin, which they must
suspend by a cord from their threats.
They then are sent to the room where
OlflcerS or the meQlCal corps give tNell
a thorough examination.
Uniforms are given them and when
they step thru the door they are new
men-real soldiers of Uncle Sam. The
drafted men are kept at the barracks
often not more than thirty-six hours,
before they are sent to their training
camps.
The methods used in handling each
drafted man from the time he reaches
the barracks nave attained sucn n1gn

day, that it now takes about half the

EARNS IA CENTS A DAY;
HAS WIFE and BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even a Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing"
sense Of humor
Take, for instance, the case OF
man from Lille, soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty.three. he had
done pretty we'll, for the youngster had
already his own printing shop In that
northern French town. which Is still in
side the German lines. In the trenches
WaeItele developed tuberculosis, and
he was sent to a hospital at Grenoble.
There he was considered incurable.
and after the usual three months OF
treatment he was granted his ii cents
a day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor, "My son, you can perhaps cure
yourself If you will live in the noun
tains, if you will eat plenty Of nour-
fishing food and, above all, If you don't
worry"
WaeItee should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking Of his baby
and his wife-and his IA cents. "Don't
worry!" The humor of 1t entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases, and within few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was sent to the mountains at La.
mure, In the French Alps, happy IN
t1e knowledge that his family was Be
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans.
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung Is
healing fast, and he is dreaming or
another printing shop and OF living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis In France since
the war started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread is merely one Of the big jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.

COUNT MlNOTTO INTERNED.
Son-in-Law Of Packer Swift Held As
Alien Enemy.


Chicago. June 14.--Count James
Minotto, on-in-law of Louis F. Swift
Chicago packer was .nterned yes
terday on a presidents warrant He
Immediately sought his freedom on
writ Of habeas corpus before Judst
George Carpenter in federal court and
was released on $4,000 bonds signed
by Me-. Swift and his attorney, Henry
Veeder.
The warrant on which the count
was ordered interned was the re-
suit of his arrest here last october. At
hearings following the arrest it was
declared he was actively pro-Gcrman
in South American since the world
war started: that he was a close
friend Of former Ambassador Won
Bernstorff; that he was conffdant OF
Count won Luxburg. German ambas-
sador to the Argentine and author of
the "spurlos versenkt" letters. and that
many Germans recalled from the
United States or now informed We're
his companions.
All evidence gathered in the case
was submitted to Assistant Secretary
of labor Louis F. Post On March
he held the evidence insufficient to
warrant deportation of tile count, but
left jurisdiction in the hands of At
torney General Gregory. with freedom
to order the count interned if he
saw fit.
Count Minotto's plea for freedom
was based on the declaration he was
an Italian subject and not subject to
the alien enemy act; also that he
already had been exonerated by AS
sistant Secretary Of Labor Louis Post
MY mother and father, old italian
subjects visiting in Berlin, remained
there so long that travel with my
mother was considered inadvisable. sc
they remained till my birth Count
Minotto explained after the prelimi-
airy appearance before Judge Carpen-
ter.
THE inadvertence of my birth in
Germany under such circumstances
and the further fact that l had been
employed by a German bank ought
not to be taken as evidence that
