Each Believes II He Doesn't Get Into
Action on Time Fight Mil la
Lost-What American Wom-
en- Are Doing. u


South Bend. Ind.-Kathryn Carlisle,
daughter of Charles A. Carlisle of this
city, has been in France for a long
time doing Red Cross work.
She has written a most interesting
and thrilling letter to her parents. a
letter that should stimulate Red Cross
work throughout the world and give to
our soldiers In the trenches, on the fir
ing lines and In camp, their mothers,
sisters, sweethearts and friends at
home fresh hope and assurance that
the American women are doing mag
nlfcent work In their behalf.
Here is what Miss Kathryn says:
I wish everyone at home, particu-
larry the loved ones of our fighting
men, could see "our boys" as they 60
into battle. It's the proudest moment
of life and the grandest. Obi how
brave and splendid they are, with a
smile on their lips. "Good-by." 1--WE
will see you oon again."
We feed from four to five thousand
some days. Our canteen is always
crowded.
OF course that compliment is our
greatest reward. We all try and want
to do for "our boys" the very best.
They come and 60 at all hours of the
day and night. Our Red Cross can
teen is never closed. All Of "our boys
on this line Of communication stop and
rest and have their meals and refresh
ments at this Red Cross canteen.
Want to Push u.
We always know, among the very
first, when q big drive is on, and then
we never seem to sleep. Nobody wants
TO. sour boys" don't even care to stop
long and rest; they want to push on.
Everyone Of these blessed men feel
that II he fails to get there on time
and at the very second when called
into action the fight will be lost, and
1t will.
Here is a toast one Of our brave Off
GERS left with us. 1t expresses the at
titude Of "our boys" to us perhaps bet
ter than any word Of mine:
STo our women. who sent us forth
with courage In their hearts and tears
IN their eyes.
ssTo our women at home who are sac
rihcing all that we may win.
ITO our women over here who give
their own lives that we may live.
"GOd bless them, and damn the man
that does not respect them and the
coward that does not protect them."
sour boys" every word ex-
pressed. and no woman was ever more
thoughtfully considered and protected
than we OF the American Red Cross
who serve "our boys" at the front.
Over 5000 American trucks, all
heavily laden. have passed our front
door in this last big drive. Every man
In charge came In for rest and refresh
ment and a little chat with one Of his
native tongue. then with the smile OF
the soldiers and a wave OF the hand In
farewell, "Good-by until we meet
again"
After every battle and at intervals
we see "our boys" coming back.

DRAFTED FOR LABOR.
Measure Sent to Senate After Re-
lection of Amendment as to Ex-
isting Treaties. ....,
DRAFTED FOR LABOR.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The so
called alien Stacker bill, to bar from
citizenship and authorize deporta.
ton of aliens of draft age who
claim exemption from military ser
vice, and authorizing the drafting OF
any aliens for agricultural or manu-.
featuring work was passed by the
house tonight by a vote of 344 to
21. 1t now goes to the senate.
The administration opposed the
bill on the ground that it violates
existing treaties and would embar'
rass the government in negotiating
treaties with it's co belligerents pro
viding for the drafting Of their ma
tional residents in this country
Such treaties with Great Britain and
Canada have been signed and those
with France and Italy are about
completed.
The bill is applicable only to citi
zens of countries at war with Ger
many who are eligible to American
citizenship in the United States, bu'
that they shall be deported as soor
as practicable. The immigration
committee and speakers in the house
today said it would not be possible
to deport any appreciable nnmbe1
of affected aliens any time soo1
since ships to carry them would no
be available. " ... @ .-
Before passing the bill the house
defeated 235 to 1872, an amendmen
by Representative Rogers of Massa
chusetts, which provided that TIM
act should not supercede any exist
ing treaties which stipulated tina
the United States shall not subjec
the nationals of treaty country II

amendment had been agreed to

committee of the whole.
