 Red Cross Have
 Service Institution ]MoRE than usual interest is be- 9V0 ing taken in the Red Cross institute which is to convene in Bir- mingham on the eighteenth of April and continue until May 28, for the purpose of training workers for home service.
 The course will be given under the direction of an expert-vone thorough fly experienced in home service work. Red Cross methods stand everywhere for efficiency and it is urged that every local chapter in the gulf dlvi- sion, embracing Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, send one or more dele gates. The registration fee is only l$3, and student-visitors will be pro- vided with board at reasonable rates. The Red Cross membership is not only very large, but in no body de- voted to human relief is there such a large proportion of consecrated in dividuals. In view. of present condi- tions, the institute should be, and doubtless will be, largely attended. # # #

Should all the pro-Germans in this
country be allowed to run around

in fact we have known her per-
sonally for years, and ever since
the war started she has sided
with the Germans.
She was born and raised In
Germany, but came to this country
when a girl and has made her
home here ever since. She owns
lois Of property in Tacoma and in
fact, has made all the money she
has in the world right here in
Tacoma. And now that America
Is in trouble and needs the sup.
port Of all her people here, this
woman turns against her adopted
land, and becomes pro-German.
She insists that the kaiser is o
