o o and in what way tetanus would
begin to set in.
Half conscious, | drew all sorts of
pictures about what might happen,
but, in a comparatively short time, an
attendant shuffled owe TO me and
said, Don't fear, boy. We sent a mo-
torcycle message to the Red Cross in
Paris and it has answered with all
the serum we need
at seemed a marvellous thing to
me-, he exclaimed, that an organiza-
ton with a personnel numbering into
the thousands, handling millions of
dollars and thousands of tons of sup
plies could on such short notice with
out having to go through miles of red
tape step into the breach and save the
day"
1t is this stepping into the breach
in emergencies which Mr.. Gibbons
considers the Red Cross's greatest
achievement. thine and time again
the same thing happens. If surgical
dressings or sponges or bandages give
out in the army hospitals the Red
| Cross is there, in almost less time
than you can think about it, to make
up the deficit"
The nurses and the women workers
in the Red Cross throughout France
came in for a share Of Mr.. Gibbons
eulogy. He said, During the battle
of Chateau-Thierry and in the days
that followed the women of the Amer
lean Red Cross certainly justified their
/ existence. They answered every call
sent out, working t%wenty-four hours
at a stretch, refusing to take a rest no
matter how tired they were until our
wounded were cared for. The French
and English had not stopped talking
about it when l left"
In conclusion, he emphasized, Il
want every man and woman and child
in America, who has given a nickel or
a dime or a dollar to the Red Cross, to
know that their money is being put to
the very best use possible toward Win
ming the war-that of saving lives"
And his mother who had Just come
in from Chicago to joan him, echoed,
"You cannot say too much for me
about the Red Cross for it saved my
boys life and | know it is doing like
wise for many American mothers
whose sons are on the battlefront to-
day"

There is one Red Cross story

Cross.

a germ breeding in the large intestine

the wounded because of this gas gan

Washington, Dec. 7-Shipwreck of
German propaganda initiated III America
by Bernard Dernburg, was attributed
by Count Won Bernstorf in his expiana-
tiCn to the Berlin Foreign Office to the
lnpossbility of kee ping secret the tact

The former Ambassadors explanation
was laid before the $ nate committee
investigating brewery and German prop
aganda today along with other secret
documents from the files of the depart
ment of justice by a. Bruce Bielaski,
chief of the bureau of investigation.
In letter to the foreign Office in 1915,
Bernstorff said the subsidizing of papers
always ended with him being held re-
sponsible for all the articles of such
papers. For that reason, he said. he had
succeeded in getting free of all relations
that he also would like TO be free from
The Fatherland, which he added "has
shown itself Of little value"
The letter spoke OF an unfortunate
experience with the Times Mall and
said only the future could show whether
we will have better luck with Mr.. Hunt
ington Wright and Mr.. + l.. Low"
Submitting evidence concerning the

in Washington, Bielaski said its editor,
