FIRST AID WORK.

:. I wish to discuss this branch of the Red Cross work that should be ot ln- +erest to everyone and one that may he more necessary to IS in the future than now
 in the latter part of 1909 authority for the establishment an6 orgariza- tion of First Aid work was granted by the governing body of the Amerl- can Red Cross. It's actual organiza- tion dates from January 7, 1910, By nroyision of Act of Congress the First Aid work is in charge of an of- f;eer detailed from the Medical Corps of the United States Army, and IS mart of the Department of Military Relief of the Red Gross. The purpose of this instruction is to tram men and women to administer First Aid treatment promptly and inteligently when emergencies demand such as- s;e+once The branches of this work of most interest to us now Is the creation of volunteer reserve force of men and women who are qualified for duty with any Red Cross organlz- alton formed for service With the owned forces of the United States Tn time of war and for the rendering of emergency treatment in the homes and in cases of accident where the ae- mands of a physician for services cannot be met.

The News believes that, from every standpoint Sen aof Robinson should be nominated for reelection next Tuesday, and haven't the least doubt but what this will De done In urging the reelection of Senator Robinson we nave no brickbas throw at his opponent Hon. Ste phen Brunddge, of Arkansas distinguished citizens gentleman of recognized ability and who has, in the past served his people faithfully and we'll In of his past campaigns The News has supported Col Brunddge just as vigorously and efficiently it knew how But m our humble judgment he is making grievous mistake In attempting to dispace Senator Robinson at this time
 The people Of Arkansas do not want any change and the Administration doesn't want any change While Senator Robinson has been subjected to criticism for resgnng governor to accept the Senatorshp his most violent crit

It is doubtful if there is in the state who could have attained the prominence in the Senate that has been attained by Senator Robinson He has been in thorough accord with the Administration throughout the trying time before and since the United States entered the and possesses marked degree the confidence and good will of President Wilson. When designed to protect and safeguard the interests of American people aid in the successful prosecution of the war, to be presented in Congress the President has had guess what would be Senator Robnsons attitude He has been one of Presidents Wilson's able and active lieu tenants and his ajorty next Tuesday should be such that there be misunderstanding to where the people of Arkansas stand in the crisis of

care to study the details of how each penny has been spent, printed state ments may be had covering all war fund appropriations by applying to Mrs. Berry, chairman of the Spring dale Chapter of Red Cross War Work.
 Many of the principal battle grounds of the Red Cross war against want and misery have been referred to again and again by the Press of the country, but other millions are be- ing constantly appropriated to meet new needs as they arise, and the war fund must be replenished at once, for 1t is ineenceivable that such worl. should ever be allowed to suffer for the lack of money.
 And remember this-that every dollar and every penny that you give to your Red Cross war fund goes on- ly for war relief, other calls for help in times of disaster are taken care Of out ot the revenue derived from membership dues. You need have no fear that your subscription will be ex- pended with other than strict business integrity and with the highest special ized and administrative ability for the purposes to which you pledged it.

sure they are loyal enough to re- spond) it seems very necessary that anyone who can should take this training in order to be of assistance to those forced to remain at home The assistance of the layman who has had First Aid training, is therefore, now of unusual value in rendering emergency treatment. The life of an injured person often depends upon the care he gets from the first individ- ual to aid him. In all towns now, First Aid classes are being formed and taught by qualified local doctors This instruction consists of training in bandaging, artificial respiration, treatment for burns from fire and electricity, bruises, strains, sprains, dislocations, fractures, sun stroke, drowning, poisoning and all sudden illnesses where it is necessary to give assistance before the arrival of doc tor. The extensive experience of the Red Cross has demonstrated that the death rate from accident where there are men instructed in First And is seventy five per cent less than among the uninstructed. This applies te the training of employees in factories, etc, where the Red Cross has eff cient organization.
 In France there are towns of twen- ty-five thousand people without doc tor (for France has already lost one half of her medical men in battle) and in England there are towns of ten thousand with only one doctor. Our government is having to loan its ar my of medical men to the French and English armies and there is a move ment on food to register very doctor in the U. s. for service, asking those over the age limit (55 years) to reg ister for volunteer service without compensation. One can now see how necessary it will be for everyone to know how to administer First AiG to the injured This instruction is given practically free and the Springdale physicians are all willing to help in this good work and give their time and ability in this training Let ev- eryone who possibly can take up this work in classes that will be formed later. They are just concluding two classes and others will start soon This course also gives one the prelim- mary instruction of Nurse Aid course. This work is the training of women by short course of instrne- tion that they may become assistants to Red Cross nurses. Many of these adde's" are now in France and many more were called for.
 While this terrible war lasts let us all avail ourselves of every oppor- tuinity for training in all branches of work asked by the American Rec Cross.

GERMANY AND THE RED CROSS.
 By Willard Berry.

Like individuals nations can, and do become narrow and selfish When an individual becomes narrow and self ish he is fit only to live to, and for, himself without the kindly influence of association with neighbors-a say age or the borderland of civilization.
 When a nation becomes thoroughly marrow and selfish. the wheels of pro gress lose their grip on the upgrade of civilization which the nation has been lahoriousiy and too slowly climb ing for centuries, the course of the na- tion is reversed and the incline be- comes toboggan slide, down which in a single year or day, the nation may crash through all the fine strue- lures of all its past history. It's mo- blest ideals can pass from sight as a thin smoke and be lost in d twinkling. The incentive to good deeds will have gone from them as people, and only here and there may one be left who will be able and willing to take up the climb again after the wreck strikes the bottom
 Under the astonished gaze of the world Germany is today being drag ged by an insanely narrow and selfish pan germanism, down the fatefuI slide which has no stopping place short of the perdition of barbarism and ruthlessness, and until it is pos sible to smother out the fires of this perditiol the balance of the world must endure untold agonies.
 The German people have allowed themselves to be turned away from the teachings and the spirit of their patron saint, Martin Luther, and have accepted the husks of a German mod ern philosophy which teaches that they are superior to all otler races and peoples. that might makes right, and that by right of their being super men, their might entities them to rule the balance of the earth for the ernolument of Germany ard for the good of the other peoples.
 h smothering out the fires of this perdition, and clearing up the wreck after the burning shall have q.ench- ed, every force, and all the power and every influence of the balance of the world must be employed and turned directly toward the accomplishment Of these ends, and one of the greatest ln- fluences toward the smother.ng of the fires of this German perditIon, and the nursing of a sick and crippled world back to the ways of civilization, IS the work of the American Red Cross, and the Red Cross organization of every other sane nationality now aiding in the defense of the liberties and the homes of the victims of Germany's ln- sanity. And let us not forget that we. the people of the United States, are the victims of this insanity so far as the purposes of Germany are con- cerned, as fully as her force and pow CT can make us; and the sooner we can be made to realize that every dol lar, every ounce of food, every man, every woman, every child, and every living thing which can be made avail able to crush the power of this nation al highwayman must be employed, the more ready we will be to avail our selves of the services of the Red Cross organization. and feel that in contrib utinc to it's support we are buying two dollars worth Of fighting force for a dollar.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The SEN
ate privileges and elections committee
today voted nine to two to dismiss the
proceedings against Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin. for an alleged dis
loyal speech at st. Paul more than a
year ago. The majority recommenda-
ton and a minority report viii be pre-
scented to the senate when it recon
venes December 2, with possibility of a
contest on adoption of the majority re-
port.
Four democratic and five republican
committeeman voted to sustain a mo-
ton filed by Senator LaFollette's at
torney, for dismissal of the proceed
ings instituted by the Minnesota pub
lie safety commission. Chairman Pom
creme and Senator Walsh of Montana,
democrats, voted in opposition and the
chairman said he would offer minor
ity report. Senator Dillingham; OF
Vermont, republican, will present the
majority view to the senate.
Although today's committee action,
which followed many meetings during

ments of the facts, evidence and legal
points involved. are expected to be
given in the majority and minority re-
ports.
Some committee members said to-
day however much Senator LaFol-
lette's speech might be deplored, there
was no basis for his expulsion.
other committeeman said that there
has been long delay in the investiga-
ton, without action, while the United

KOLCHAK RISES To
THE EMERGENCY

VLADlVOSTOK, Thursday, Nov.
21.-(By the Associated Press)-
The first proclamation of Admiral
Alexander koIchak, as dictator and
commander of the all I-Russian army
and fleet, is addressed to the peo-
pie of Russia. 1t is dated at Omsk,
November 19, and declares the aims
of the dictatorship. These aims
are:
"The creation of fit army, the
conquest Of .bolshevism, the or
ganization of right and order, so
that the people can select the form
of government they desire without
hindrance, and be able to achieve
their ideas of liberty"
The proclamation appeals for
united action in the struggle
against boIshevism and continues:
"The all-Russian government has
gone to pieces. Having decided to
bear the burden of the cross, ! de-
clare will not follow the road of
reaction, or the road of a party
struggle which would lead to OBJ
Iivion."
Lieutenant General Horvath has
issued an appeal to the people to
remain quiet during the transition
period, assuring them that "a single
firm authority will bring a return
of the former glory of our ruined
and exhausted country"
The censorship at Omsk is strict
and only official dispatches are ar
riving here. 1t is understood that
General Emenoff, the anti-boIshe-
vik leader in Siberia, refuses to
recognize the dictatorship of Ad-
miraI koIchak.
