Red(<rOss Notes

Hundreds Of Richmond women are
using 14inch celluloid knitting pins
for Red Cross knitting. Many have
found the H-inch pin too long and
would rather work with 10 or Pinch
pins. The George H. Knollenberg
company has consented to cut them
any length, re-point and polish them
without charge. The firm has cut. re-
pointed and polished 100 pairs.
A class in surgical dressing Will
meet Tuesday at the Red Cross rooms
under the direction of Mrs. Olive ALI
SOD.
Red Cross work will probably be re-
sumed in the grade schools Feb. L.
The work was discontinued before
Christmas because of smallpox in
Richmond Miss Mary Williams will
have charge Of the work
There will be a class in surgical
dressings Thursday at the Red Cross
rooms.

Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1918-09-20

The crowd that turned out for the
Liberty Loan Special had to be hustled
through the cars too rapidly to make
their inspection of the war relics very
interesting, but the stirring talks given
by Serg. Davis and Mr.. Deutsch, to say
nothing of the fine music rendered by
the Jackies, was we'll worth the time OF
everyone. After hearing Mr.. Davis
talk of his experiences in France, it was
hard for anyone to see where he was
making what could be termed a sacri-
flee. without abusing the word, in lend
ing Uncle Sam the money needed to win
the war. And it was evident from Nh.
Deutsch's speech that neither name nor
ancestry make one disloyal, if the heart
is right.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1918-09-20

If q man says he hopes. Germany
wins the war or makes any other dis
loyal remark in speech or press he
should he made to answer for it, but to
say that the newspapers must not pub
liSh the utterance sayOrs strong of the
PruSsianisfn that America is going to
have big hand in putting the kibosh
on 1t need not be feared that publish
ing a disloyal remark as such will con-
taminate any loyal person with dis
loyalty.
This brings to mind Ex-President
Theodore R0osevelt's charge that pa
perS or magazines which have upheld
the war, but have told the truth about
the administration failure to conduct
the war efficiently" have been published
by the postoffice department., while lit
has failed to proceed against various
powerful newspapers which opposed the
war or attacked our allies or directly
or indirectly aided Germany against
this country, as those papers upheld the
administration and defended the in
efficiency"
In reply to Postmaster Burleson' s
challenge to name the papers that had
been SO punished and those that had not
been proceeded against, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, in part:
THE Metropolitan Magazine, Col
lier's Weekly. Philadelphia North Am
erican. and the New York Tribune
have consistently upheld the war They
eagerly demanded that we should go to
war, they supported the President in
going to war, they have cordially up
held every measure for prosecuting the
war. But they have also told, not all
of the truth, but some small portion of
the truth, which it was absolutely nee
essary to tell, about the administra-
tion's failure to conduct the war eff
GENTLY. They have only told even this
small portion of the truth when it was
imperative SO to do, in order to speed
up the war and to prevent persever-
ance in inefficiency. Three publications
have been attacked by Mr.. Creel Off
cially. speaking as President Wilson'S
representative and las giving message
from the United States Government to
the American people, q quote from
The Independent The Postoffice
Department, through the New York
postmaster, Old March last notified
the publishers of the Metropolitan
Magazine that it's March issue was
nonmailable under the espionage act.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1918-09-20

According to the Associated Press,
pressed the view, in statement issued
through Solicitor Lamar of the Post
office department, that lit will be bet
ter for the newspapers of the country
in the future to avoid literal treatment
of SeditiouS utteranceS i'll cases In
which speakers or publishers under in
vestigatiOn, arrest or Indictment"
The News-Budget believes this is a
very dangerous usurpatiOn of authority
and should meet with general and en-
phatic protest from every newspaper in
the country. a free press is one of the
very foundations of the democracy we
are fighting for in France today. Ii
such ruling should stand, a bureau
cratic pOstoffice official could snuff, out
a papers existence if he had political
or even personal spleen against its pro
prietor, trump up a charge that it had
published a seditious article and no
newspaper would dare to sumbit the
facts to its readers that they might
judge whether an injustice had been
perpetrated, without publishing the
article in question and taking the risk
of being put out of business themselves.
And when the pOstoffice department
sees fit to snuff out paper, there is alb
SOTutely no court of redress for the re-
sulting loss.
We believe the press of England to-
day, if it does have king as an anti
quated governmental relic, has more
freedom than the press of America.

At The junction of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers-a hundred miles from
the Persian CULTS the town of Cur

lum days sailed past Gurna were told
TO look with reverence at the spot, for
here was the original Garden of Eden,
writes John Van Ess in Asia Magazine.
In December, 1914, the British took
Gurna and for some time, at least, for
the first time, Arabia was put on the

Arabia looms large on the Teutonic
horizon because 1t is the door TO "Mlt-
teleurOpa," and because Ii Is the cradle
OF Islam, Since Islam Is professed
by the majority Of the population in
Turkey and 63,000000 of Indians and
20,000,000 of Russians and 24,000,000
In the East Indies and 12.000000 in
Egypt and 100000 in China-Islam

look at the map of the Mediterranean
you will see that Cyrus seems to have
a great finger which points just to
where Asia Minor bends down sharp

there lay the key to any situation
which would involve that part of the
world. Follow the finger and IL is

British Palestine and Mesopotamian
campaign was Aleppo. Thence draw
the line across and you draw with al
most uncanny accuracy the northern
linguistic boundary Of Arabia.
