You never saw it? Then ask at the nearest Red
Cross Chapter write for the Red Cross wants you
to know where your money went
They say that Red Cross supplies have way of
coming through on time.
Italy surely has found not wanting in prompt
ness when her great trial came.
And Roumania-they said no allied nation could
get through to help her dire need
But the Red Cross found 0Uay
It's not always a cheap way-"Needs must :
costs money. But did you give that money to be
Saved-or to Save lives? Are you not willing to pay
five dollars or ffy to bring something of comfort to
a war racked tortured mortal who but for you would
surely die?
And of one thing you may be sure. Not one
penny of that Hundred Million has gone for anything
but Var Relief
In the Red Cross there is no high saaried bureau

The cost of raising and collecting the last War

Different Standard Of
Commercial Honor
If the natives Of these Oriental
countries-1 except Japan, which in
commerce and finance Is more
American than Eastern-do not
understand Western ideas Of paper
promises, what shall we say Of some
of the foreigners who have settled
down in the Far East to make
speedy fortunes, always with the
hope Of going "back home"? I
regret to say that, in my opinion,
there does not exist generally in the
East the same ideas of commercial
right and wrong that are recognized
in America and Europe.
If the reader is ever tempted to
go into Far Eastern investments I
would suggest hurried trip to the
Orient before risking any money.
Let him go out to China and "sense"
the situation. I am sure he will re-
turn quite we'll satisfied that good
American securities are the best to
be found in the world in these par
lous times, particularly in view Of
the fact that they have recently
been Debated and have got down
to earth again. Government opera
ton or supervision of railroads will
not harm the investor who buys at
the lowest possible prices this win
ter. The standard American rail-
road shares Of the future are apt to
become more like the Great North

fer through closer restrictions and

1t IS not In its normal line

. as we'll as might be pay an uncon-
scious compliment to the merits of

1t takes time to accustom men to
the short, hard words Of command
and to the surrender Of personal
Judgment. It is not easy, either, for
a nation to turn its back upon the
conception Of a world where justice
works out its ends by quiet
processes, and in its stead como to
the stern belief that the ultimate
court is a battlefield. So if there
IS wrenching and sideslipping and
confusion there should be no sur
prise. The surprise to me has been
with what comparative ease the
transition has been made. and how
much unconscious preparation for
the new work had been already
made.

But America in those days had, too

Possibly it will take China fullv
twenty years or more to find herself.
BY that time the fashion for build

foundations Of commercial expedi-

models Of true democratic-repub

While China is in the remaking I
am convinced that investments in
her securities will not be good for
Americans, except for those so
philanthropically inclined that they
are willing to furnish funds for
China's upbuilding in the way that
France aided America during our
Revolution.
In the Far East economic
problems are grave. They are also
grave in the East Indies and in the
antipodes and, one might say,
everywhere else. At first, in 1914.
all countries far removed from the
European conflict enjoyed CONNER

profiteering in agricultural and

the inexorable law that cheaper
money will always drive out the

paper, which has been in some cases
profusely issued and forced as legal
tender. Even small silver has al
most disappeared in the Straits Set
Elements and in Japan, where it has
lately become necessary to issue
subsidiary paper currency, cor
responding to the "shinplasters" SO

FATE OF CYCLOPS

Some Believe Collier in Port.
Mystery Linked With
U.Boat Activities
WashinRtOn. June 5.

dulIe
In view of recent developments in
the activities Of the German C-boats.
many naval officers believe the collier
Cyclops. which disappeared from the
seas three months ago. is in some OBJ
scure port along the coast.
While opinions differ IS to the fate Of
the Cyclops the statement of one of the
C-boat commanders to Captain Lowry
of the steamship TeXel. that the Ger
man submarines had been on the Amer
lean side of the Atlantic for two months
is generally accepted as indicating that
the kaiser's undersea navy holds the
key of the mystery that has completely
batf1ed the Navy Department.
The theory that the American collier
with her great cargo of manganese and
800 men aboard was sunk ''spurlos ver-
senkt'' il dismissed as improbable by
naval experts, who admit however, that
it is possible.
1t is more likely. they say, that the
Cyclops. sailing homeward some time
after March 4. when she cleared from
Barbados, was met at night by sub
marines, possibly by pre-arrangement, at
a time when only an officer on the bridge
and a small watch on the deck were to
be reckoned with. If the Germans met
the ship by arrangement it would have
been no difficult matter to send an armed
crew below to quarters where most of
her men were asleep and take possession
Of the ship. Granted that this was ac-
complished, the question would. be
whether the Germans managed to pene-
trate the allied blockade and took the
ship to a German port or hid her awav
in some isolated port.
The statement of the C-bCat COM
mander' that he had been in American
waters two months. If true. presupposes
hidden base somewhere on this side
say naval experts. They admit, how
ever, that the events of the last day or
two have tended rather to deepen the
mystery of the Cyclops than to solve it,

END OF IRISH DRAFT
SEEN IN FRENCH CALL
Dublin Freemans Journal
Wishes Effort Success for
This Object
Special Cable to Erening Public Ledger

Copyright, 1918, by Ncw York Times co.
Dublin. June 5.
. II is highly significant that the Free
mans Journal. which is Dillon's mouth
piece in the Dublin press, regards Lord
FrenCh's call fer 10000 voluntary re-
cruits as marking definitely the aban-
donment of consCription and conse-
quently the achievement of the purpose
for which the Irish party left Westmn-
ster and came 20 their own country
the origin of the Sim Fem goes so far
as to wish the new effort success if it
means the end of the conscription prof.
ect.
1T is implied in the proclamation =
says the Sim Fem organ, that the new
recruits will be drafted into Irish dvi-
sions, but definite undertaking to this
effect ought to be given 1t will be re-
membered that the depletion of Irish
divisions was made the excuse for apply
ing conscription to Ireland. There is q
certain humiliation in the British state
having to give Il solemn pledge, almost
an oath. to keep its promise, but in this
case humiliation has been made inevita-
bic by preceding bad faith.
Though Lord French wisely does not
press for recruits from land cultivation,
which is now SO important not only for
Ireland but for all the Allies ne prom
ises rewards of land to recruits who
come forward, rewards which are more
likely to attract the unlimited country
laborer than the invited shopmen in the
towns.
When the Jealous and voluntary con-
troller of recruiting for County Mayo
tried in 1915 to get land allotted to
discharged soldiers and sailors, or to
their surviving dependents, the congested
districts board, which then had large
areas of untenanted lanoS on it's hands,
declared the proposal impossible. The
worst of government by proclaRa tion
from a remote fastness to which no
popular whisper is admitted is that it Is
frequently government whica is not rele.
want TO the facts. and there are already
hints that Lord French has made prom.
| ises of land which the very crcum-
| stances of the case will disable him from
| redeeming.
Both points that have raised shoulc
be settled without delay. If they art
settled satisfactorily and the right met
placed in charge of voluntary recruiting
| I believe there will be very little din
| Guilty in getting all the recruits that arr
required, not only from such cities al
Belfast and Dublin, but from the ever
manned farms as well.
