BADGE OF SPLENDID SERVICE
How Red Cross Came to Be Adoptes
by Those Whose Mission Is to
Aid the Unfortunate.

The Red Cross as a badge Of serv-
ice for suffering humanity dates back
more than three hundred years, writes
correspondent to the Evening Post.
and its origin must be of interest at
this time when 1t has expanded as a
society into multitude that ministers
to the physical needs Of our army and
navy here and abroad.
Camillus de Lellis was born in the
kingdom of Naples In 1850. After
serving In the Venetian army he went
to the hospital OF San Giacomo In
Rome with an affection of the leg.
There he was so much impressed by
the horrors and filth Of what was little
better than pesthouse that he re-
solved TO devote his life to suffering
humanity, ITO care for the plague
stricken and to nurse the sick In their
own homes" At thlrty-two he was
ordained priest and set about found
Ing religious order ito serve the
sick"
"They shall wear red cross upon
their breasts" said Camillus, ito re-
mind them Of the suffering OF our
Lord Christ. This win give them
strength and encouragement" Pope
Sixtus V confirmed the congregation
in 1856, granting them in the brief a
I special permission TO wear "the Red
Cross" This same red cross is the
badge of service today, worn by every
Catholic religious order that takes
care of the sick, in every part OF the
world. This red cross has been
blessed In the leper settlements Of Mo-
lokai and Madagascar; in the cholera
hospitals of India and the pestllence-
stricken lands of the far East, as we'll
as on the battlefelds OF France. In
the calendar ST. Camillus' day falls
upon the 18th of July, and at his spe'
clal mass these words are chanted
"Greater love hath no man than, this
that man lay down his life for his
friends. youths Companion.

Mhy Pershlna Praises Baseball.

Baseball has made strategists Of
all American soldiers, General Pershlng
says in letter received by Capt. G. +.
Adams, former Nebraska state com
mander Of the G. A, II. Captain Adams
and General Pershing are great friends.
The letter says: "The ayidity with
which American soldiers are entering
into the activities Of the war on the
battle line is astonishing to European
armies. In The matter of grenade and
bomb throwing the Americans become
proficient in but a few days drill. I
attribute this In part to the American
games. football and baseball, which
make strateglsls Of them all"

FORCES SITUATION BACK

NEW YORK, October 29.-"Analy- sis of the Austrian peace note dis closes a studied attempt, by empha- sizing negotiations and conference to force the present situation back to the status of last January which is now obsolete" declared Dr. Felice Ferrero, director of the Italian bureau of public information here tonight.
 Asserting that Austria's armies to- day are a strong, well organized mili- tary force with a high morale, he de clared that the present Italian drive is not directed against a weakened enemy, but against a force superior in numbers and capable of hard fight ing and bitter resistance"
 The internal disturbance and poli- tical disorder of the dual monarchy must not be interpreted as meaning a greatly weakened and disorganized military force opposing the Italian armies he said. Such an impress sion is entirely unjustified and will only do harm if it leads the American public to expect an early disorganized and disastrous retreat of the Austrian forces"
Bisbee daily review., 1918-10-30
CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Political campaign statements continue to pour out today from democratic and re- publican leaders.
 Representative Foss, chairman of the national republican congressional committee, replying to Secretary Tu- multy's letter to the Cuyahoga county republican committee at Cleveland, Ohio, said no previous president in history had made a request of the American electorate similar to that Of President Wilson's in his statement addressed to his fellow countrymen asking the return of a democratic congress.
 Representative Ferris, chairman of the national democratic congressional committee, said the political contro- versy resolved itself simply into whether the American people desired to have the president backed up by a well trained military establishment to conduct the war or whether they wish it conducted by a political com mittee of unschooled, untrained men.
 Two statements were issued by Homer s. Cummings, acting chairman
