RED CROSS SANTA TO |
FILL Soldiers SOCKS.
An Old Fashioned Celebration OF
YuIetide for American
Soldiers in France.

A Christmas tree in every ward OF
eyery American hospital and In every
hospital recreation hut in France!
Every wounded or sick American
fighting man to receive two socks hlled
to the brim with fruits, nuts, canoy
and smokes!
These are the most interesting fea-
lures of tentative Christmas celebra-
ton program for the American nos
pitals arranged by the American Ked
Cross in France in cooperation Win
the commanding officers Of our lighting
forces In that country. Details OF the
plan to make Christmas as merry as
possible for the soldiers In these instl-
tutions have just been received at Reu
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places Will
also share In the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because of the limited
amount of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don it's original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This Is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain a
handkerchief and a card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive q sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to en-
able him to write to members OF his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, Of course, VIII
be one of the features Of the celebrH'
ton. After dinner there Will be
musical entertainment motion pic
lures and general singing.

Under the banner Of the Red Cross
American women are working I'D
homes. churches, clubs, schools, shops,
theaters, factories, hospitals and IN
thousands of Red Cross work-rooms.
The hum Of sewing machines, the
whfsz of muslin torn to accurate strips,
the rat-tat-tat of volunteer typewrit-
ers, the purr of boiling kettles In can
/; teens, the rumbling Of automobiles OF
the Motor Corps, the soft click Of knit
ting needles in lonely cabins and farm
; houses, all blend into great anthem
, of service.
! About 100000 women working
through Red Cross Chapters and
branches are making with their hands
relief supplies-surgical dressings
knitted articles, hospital and refugee
igarments-or working az volunteers,
lsubject to any call day or night, at 5OO
railroad stations throughout the coun-
try and at the ports Of embarkation, or
serving in volunteer Motor Corps.
Truly here is an army with banners
banners of a red cross on white field
For the period up to the first OF July
1913, American Red Cross Chapters,
through their work-reoms, had produc.

134,501 knitted articles, 10,786,4S9 hos

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

80 many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section of
the Red Cross that few words as to
It's objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims to serve
the folks at home, to bring them
nearer to the man In the field, and to
bring him nearer to the ones at home.
Sometimes 1t means helping TO
straighten out a financial tangle, some
times help in the training of the chill
dren. sometimes being big brother to
young lad who needs a bit of friend
ly counsel. or advising a young wife
who may be worried about the coming
due Of the mortgage and what her
rights under the law may be.
Then, too, there are sometimes de-
lays in the mails or LOST letters, and
sometimes delays in the allotment or
errors In the amount which should be
forthcoming. These problems and
many others are being Strengthened
out by the Home Service Section, with.
out charge to the families, and with
an efficiency which is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered.
For those who are worried because
of the non-arrival of letters cable is
sent inquiring about the mans wei.
fare.
In fact the Home Service Section Is
living up to its uame-it Is really the
service of those at home-it Is trying
to be the father, brother or husband
to those left behind.

AMERICANS IN BERLIN
ENJOYING FREEDOM
Returned Visitor Tells Of Treatment.
Germany's Peace Attitude
Revealed.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, March 1.-The Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant prints long
interview with parsonage who re-
turned recently from q weeks visit to
Berlin" where he talked with num-
Der of prominent persons, including
Baron Won Dem Observation-Disclosures,
undersecretary of foreign affairs; DR..
Drews, Prussion minister of the in
terror; Dr. Solf, minister for colonies.
and Lieut.. Gen. Won Stein, Prussian
minister of war.
The consensus of opinion, the visitor
gathered, was that the greatest diff
Guilty in arriving at peace negotiations
is that Germany dare not or will not
relinquish any military advantage I'M
less certain that peace negotiations
have chance for success.
He adds: They agreed perfectly.
for instance, with my objections
against bombing London. and admitted
that for the sake of peace it were better
they stopped. Yet, they said. the raids
must continue for military reasons"
Among other things the visitor, ap-
parently Dutchman, said:
Il had occasion to meet several mem
bers of the American colony. To my
surprise the Americans in Berlin enjoy
the greatest freedom. They are quite
satisfied with their treatment and ap-
parently are possessed of sufficient
means to live in the comfortable style
to which they have been accustomed.
No objections are raised against the
speaking of English by them in hotels
and restaurants, neither do the walters
object to speaking English with their
American customers.

as Austrians Advance;
Seydler Explains Drive

BY the Associated Press.
3 VIENNA, via London. March Z--Ten
Thousand Russians already have laid
down their arms and considerable
quantities of ammunition, carts and
other rolling stock have been taken by
The Austrians. says an official Austrian
communication announcing the COM

Austria's Action Explained.
( AMSTERDAM, March 1.-The decision
to send troops into the Ukraine was eX-
planned yesterday in the upper house
of the Austrian parliament by Premier
Won Seydler as having been taken IN
response to an urgent request for as
sistance from the Ukrainian govern
ment. The request was made, he said,
in consequence of events in Ukraine
which threatened to interfere with the
transportation of foodstuffs.
Heretofore Austria has taken no part
in the new advance into Russia, which
was begun after the peace negotiations
were broken of. The explanation was
given that Germany was operating
along the great Russian front. and
that Austria was guarding the
Ukrainian front. The Austrian premier,
DR.. Won Seydler. said last week that
Austria was not participating in the
military action which Germany had
begun against Russia, and that Austria
was at peace with Ukraine. This posi-
ton was commented upon in some
quarters as indicating a rift between
Germany and Austria

MOTHERS FIGHT POLYGAMY.
Organization Wants Constitutional
Amendment.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. March "A
resolution urging the passage of con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting po-
lygamy was adopted by the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teach-
ers' Association at the final session OF
its convention here last night. The
resolution reads as follow:
Whereas the military authorities OF
Germany have urged the necessity Of
encouraging illegitimate children to be
brought up by the state, and have re-
ouested the clergy to remove the moral
scruples of the women in order that
war losses may be offset: and
whereas, such propaganda is a deg
radiation of womanhood. manhood and
childhood and an insult to civilization:
therefore
.sBe it resolved, That the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teach-
ers' Association urges the President
and Congress to pass federal amend
ment prohibiting polygamy in the
United States"
