VALUE OF THE RED CROSS

The Red Cross has been authorized
by Congress to be a medium of COM
munication between the people of the
United States and the Army and
Navy. 1t supplements the care that
is taken of each boy by the Army or
Navy and there is the closest cooper
alton between it and the Government.
1t is the great means of the disposal
of the individual man who goes to the
Front, the organization that supplies
the home touch"
The home service branch keeps the
soldier or sailor in communication
with his family, and gives that family
the necessary care, whether it be
temporary financial aid, advice or
medical assistance.
The foreign service branch serves
wounded; it supplies him with food
and rest at the Red Cross canteens;
if he is taken prisoner the Red Cross
ministers to him, and if he is killed
the Red Cross finds out the circum-
stances that surrounded his death and
sends word to his family at home
The Red Cross is anticipating the
soldiers possible permanent disable
ment by establishing an institution
where the best means of rehabilitation
work are being studied. The results
will be put at the disposal of the
Government, which is mailing COM
plete plans for the care of disabled
men.
In the same way the trained bact-
eriologist of the Red Cross, in the
Red Cross laboratory car is making a |
study of Army epidemics and diseases
with the end in view of efficiently COM
batting them.
The Red Cross renders a service
to the whole fighting force that is per-
haps the greatest that can be perform
ed. 1t is very largely instrumental in
keeping up the high morale of the
Army and Navy. The well-cared for
soldier, free from worry, is the con-
tented one and the one whose will to
accomplish his best is the most in
domitable. In training camp, in hos
pital, in trench, the Red Cross is pass
ing on the word of cheer.
Secretary Baker during a recent in
spection tour of Red Cross work in
France said:
When one is in the zone of the
armies or in the supply areas, words
of appreciation or praise for the
American Red Cross seem superfous.
The foresight that has characterized
its present and prospective operations .
has been a source of pride to the
officer of the American |
forces and should be a source of COM {
fort to the people of the United States, g
who, l know, enabled it to carry on
its work and to expand"

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

The usual good congregation at tended the Presbyterian church on Sunday, and heard Dr. Williams splendid sermon from the subject Christian America, the Lasting Lib erty Bond It was a Home Mission topic.
 The Sunday school which immedi- ately preceded the II o'clock service showed slight failing in attendance as compared to the Sunday before, probably due to weather conditions. The attendance was 73 and the collec- tion $525.
 The evening service showed slight ly better attendance, comparatively. The text from Revelations 1916, "The Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth," was in accord with the keynote of victory which so universally seemed to char acteriZe the utterances of the church at this especial time. In accord with the general tone of the pulpits of our country both services of the day were virtually patriotic praise services something in the nature of prelude to the national Thanksgiving, service of which will be held on November 2Sth.

overspending on the army, due to the fact that the nations strength Was higher than had been anticipated.
 T should like to make reference to the assistance given to Italy" said the chancellor, because the German gov ernment has spared no effort to create the impression that Italy is being utilized and exploited by all the al- liance, especially Great Britain In 1916 Great Britain agreed to give to the Italian exchequer monthly cred it to be used to help Italian exchange A similar contribution is being made by America, and France will also help These efforts have already met with success
 Besides, Britain has advanced to It. ally f313,000 900, all paid in gold. This has enabled Britain to supply the Ital- ian government with munitions and equipment for the army and food and other articles for the civilian popula- tfon. The rate of interest charged is five per cent, which is below the rate the government is paying"
 MT Bonar-Law referred with satls- faction to the favorable food situa- ton and the great success of the con- tinuous borrowing system by means of sales of war bonds, etc, which dur ing the last nine months amounted to more than f993,000,000. or nearly 50 pec cent more than in the corresponding period of last year.

 SUNK BY U-bOAT OFF COAST 0F J. s.
Crew of IS Land Safely at American POrt-Bark Is Destroyed By Bombs
 By Sub Crew

Washington, August 1.-The Portu- guese bark Porto was sunk by German submarine 55o miles off the Atlantic coast July 27. The navy department an- nounced today that the crew of IS nnl had beeh landed at an American port by British steamer.
 After overhauling the bark, the sub- marines crew destroyed it with bombs placed in the cargo of cotton. No further details were given, but it was assumed that the crew was permitted to take to the small boats. The Porto was bound from Savannah for Oporto.
 This is the first official word of a sub- marine operating off the coast received here since a sea wolf appeared suddenly off the Massachusetts seaboard Ii days ago and shelled tug and barges it was towing. This occurred several days after the United States cruiser San Diego had been destroyed off Fire Island, New York, presumably by a mine planted by the submersibIe.
 There was no information to show that the submarine which sank the Porto was the same one that attacked the tug and barges, but it was assumed that it was There have been several unofficial re- ports recently of steamers sending radio messages that they were being attacked off the coast, but if they were destroyed their crews have not yet been landed on American shores, so far as the navy de- partment has been advised.

This has been expected by officers here since the American divisions out fought crack German divisions in ter rife conflicts which began Saturday The enemy made every effort to hurl the Americans back across the Ourcq, but he failed. His picked troops fought to the death. reports from all sides indicate; but the fierce attack of the Americans was not to be denied and the positions which broke the back of the German line on this front were consolidated.
 MAKE RAPID PROGRESS
 With magnificent gallantry, British and French forces took full advantage of the situation. The enemy was hurled off Chalmont Butte in dash ing assault by Franco British uits and to the east, the French also hammered at his line. Tonights report shows that it was made untenable and that the French and British have made rap- i'd progress in exploiting the success.
 The fact that 800 prisoners were
 taken in one part of the action
 indicated the retreat wns more pre-
 cipitate than it has been for the
 last few days. This was viewed
 further evidence that the enemy
 was withdrawing under pressure
 and gave new hopes that his lines
 along the Nesle would not be fully
 prepared when the allies arrive
 before them.
 Official reports to the war depart- ment were belated and staff officers received eagerly the statements car- ried by the press.

 Northwest of Fere the entire elbow of the line, where it turned eastward along the northern bank of the Ourcq, has been plotted out, making the line straight one from Fere to Hartennes and giving the allies much better ground over which to work in luther /outflanking Soissons on the southeast and for press- ing on toward Fishes in conjunction with the troops, particularly the Ameri- cans, now holding stategic points north and northeast of Fere
 DRIVE OUT GERMANS
 In this fighting the allied troops drove out the Germans, who had been tena- ciously holding positions between Ples-
 
 high ground north of Grand Rozoy, pressed on past the village of Beugneux and arrived before the villages of Cra- moiselle and Cramaille The general ad- vance was about two miles and 600 Ger mans were made prisoner.
 The most important gain, however, was on the upper western point of the plight. for fNpm the wood and the vil- lage of Cierges and the Meuniere wood were taken, a manecver which places the Germans at the bottom of the ''V'' at St. Gemme in a seemingly precarious plight, for from the wqood and the vil- lage the allied guns will be able to rake

BRITAIN HAS FIVE
 MILLION IN FIGHT

Washington, August 1.--Lord Curzon member of thes British war cabinet gave figures on Monday night in a speech, portions of which have been received here by wireless, which show the extent of the Byitish war effort in man power. Lord Curzon said Great Britain had given no fewer than 7,010, 900 men and that 5000, 900 J3ritons were today fighting in foreign theatres of war. Allowing for casualties. and pre- suming these figures to include the navy, they are taken as demonstrating the fact that the only troops in Eng land today are men on leave and men in depots. either of the supply services or undergoing the reorganization of units.\

 34,000 PRISONERS TAKEN
 As has been the case during the last week, the Germans contested stubborn ly the advance of the allied troops, but to no avail. Since the battle of the Marne began July 15, the allied troops have taken more than 34,000 Germans prisoner.
 Just what part the American troops played In Thursdays battle has not yet been unfolded, but they doubt less were in the center of the battle front and the thick of the fray. Be- tween Seringes and Cierges, respective ly northeast and southeast of Fere, they are known to have made goodly gains over a four-mile front and to have pushed further beyond Sergy ard reached within a mile and a half of the village of Chamery.
 BAD WEATHER CEASES
 On the British front in France and Flanders the bad weather has ceased and the sun is fast drying the muddy ground. The Germans are bombarG- ing heavily various positions held by Field Marshal Haig's men, wh oare in turn answering the fire of the enemy guns and keeping up with much suc- cess their annoying raids into the Ger man lines.
 According to the claims of Vienna. the Austrian troops in Albania have compelled the Italians to give up a considerable portion of the ground they won in recent fighting. It is asserted by the Austrian war office that the Italians are being pursued by the Aus trians.
