DIR. IDA ALEXANDER WRITES
OF HUN BRUTALITY TO CHILD
rem OF STRICKEN FRANCE

Residents of Sank Centre will be in
terested in hearing of the work which
DR.. Ida M. Alexander is accomplish
ing among the French refugees and
tuberculosis children. She sends the
following letter to the Northern Di-
vision of the American Red Cross:
"Paris, Oct. 9, 1918.
"When I first arrived in France I
was engaged with the Red Cross dis
pensary work at La Courneuve, a
munition town northwest of Paris.
Later in the absence of French doc
tors, I was dispensary physician for
tuberculosis children, Rue de PArgon-
ne dispensary in the 10th arrondise-
ment in Paris. When the refugees
began pouring into Paris in June
offered my services for all my spare
time at anything I could do, medical
or otherwise. Since August rs, 1918,
I have been health physician with the
Bureau of refugees at Quimper Fin
listers, and have a five room fiat as "a
"Plant" for teaching hygiene, gymas-
tic and dispensary work.
Gin the dispensary at La Courneuve
I had a patient-a six year old child
who with her mother had lived at Lille
under the Huns for three years. Hel
face was pale, her lips blush gray
her arms and legs thin and wirely
looking, her abdomen large. The mo-
Their carried her into the office, but
even so, the Precipitation of weakness
stood out around the child's brow and
mouth.
"This, I said to myself, lis what
Germany has done for her children,
and I wondered the mothers had not
started revolution. The Red Cross
the mother said, had given them food
or perhaps the child would never have
lived"

PAUL FISH WRITES OF
SPLENDID WORK BEING DONE
BY RED CROSS "OvER THERE

The Herald publishes herewith
very interesting letter received
few days ago by Geo. Fish, from his
son Paul, who is member of the u.
S. Marines, Somewhere in France"
Somewhere in France, Nov. 8, 1918.
Dear Dad and Mother:
Just few lines this morning to let
you know I am perfectly well and
getting along fine, in fact, am feeling
better than when I left the States.
We have moved from our first loca-
ton to another part of France and we
have very good quarters, in fact, at
the present time, I think we are in
the best camp in France. All we can
eat, and excellent chow, too, hunks
to sleep in, hot baths and plenty OF
water, so we consider ourselves lucky
and certainly appreciate it. We hope
to go to the front very soon, as we
are not over a million miles from
there now. Wish I could tell you
where we are, but can't. Had my first
liberty in France yesterday and my
Pal, who speaks French, and sure
enjoyed ourselves. I am learning
French quite rapidly, as you sure are
out of luck if you don't speak it. The
stores and customs of the people are
very interesting. Everything here is
reckoned with the franc as the stand
ard unit of value, the same as our
dollar is. A franc is worth about zoe
in our money, and is divided into cent
lines (sonteems) which are worth is
of cent, approximately. Everything
here is very high, except at the Red
Cross and Y. M. C. A. canteens, which
are certainly a God send to us fell
lows. Any one who hollers back in
the states about what the Y. M. c. A.
does with the money they collect
ought to be prosecuted. Every Y. M.
C. A. worker is deserving of all kinds
of credit. I imagine Dad coming in

This would mean that Red Cross

another phase of the work for the
Chapters will be the after care of re-
turned soldiers. Some of them will
doubtless find trouble in getting re-
established Immediately upon their
return. Home Service committees will
be able to assist materially along this
line. Disabled soldiers will. be pro-
vided for by the government after
their return; they will be given voca-
tional instruction and the necessary
attention during their convalescence.
After their complete recovery and
when they are no longer considered
in the service of Uncle Sam, there
will be means, no doubt, by which the
Red Cross may render them assistance
by giving encouragement that may
add to their morale"

Some of the newspapers OF the
state have endeavored to start trouble
because Gov. Burnquist did not see tit
to rename Mr.. Schulz as state super
intendent of public instruction The
Herald has not been in accord with
Gov. Burnquist on many things. We
have always felt very friendly to Mr..
Schulz. Nevertheless the Herald
does not blame the governor for not
reappointing Schulz. 1t has been ap-
parent to those at all familiar with
conditions that they have not been In
accord for nearly two years, and II
we had the appointing power for any
office we would not retain any man
who was out of harmony with our or
;ganization. During the ten years ne
has been the head of the state educa-
ttional department Mr.. Schulz sue
ceeded in building up quite nifty po-
1itical machine of his own among the
school men of the state, but the claim
that his dismissal from office will
make him a formidable candidate for
governor two years hence will not
make him dangerous politically.

DOES NOT TAKE PUBLIC INTO
CONFIDENCE.

Of the many remarkable documents
given to Congress by President Will
SON in the past six years his annuai
message to the joint gathering OF the
House and Senate on Monday was
perhaps, his weakest effort. he
argued from an academic rather IMAM
a practical viewpoint.
The President, always a master
word painter, it was hoped, would
in this message, take Congress and
the public into his confidence relative
to what he actually hopes to accom-
plish by leaving the country in a
crisis to actively and personally par
ticipate in the peace conference three
thousand miles away.
After reviewing the Recommended
lions from the various governmental
departments relatives to expenditures
and engagements, Mr.. Wilson dis
.cusses the railroad situation, and
admits that he "does not know where
he is at" In speaking of the railroad
question Mr.. Wilson stated that Il
frankly turn to you for consel upon
it." After the high-handed manner In
which he has handled some OF the
angles of the war, and particularly
the defining of what he hopes to &C
complish by his visit overeas, it Is not
all surprising that this statement
caused considerable firth among the
.congressmen and senators.
The inference one gets from a care
full reading of that portion of his
message is that the gallant sons OF
America have been fighting to main
tain the presidents GA points" while
the public generally supposed that
they were struggling to free the world
of a murderous autocracy.
Referring specifically to his over
sea trip the President says that ne
holds his call is "transcendent. He
promises that he will have the peace
treaty all signed and out Of the way
by spring, while well posted experts
on matters of this sort admit that 1t
will take many long weary months.

The Sank Centre postoffice has re-

be informed of the fact that all let
tiers sent to members of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces must have
return address of the senders. This
is for the reason that large numbers
of the American soldiers are now be-
ing returned to camps i'm hte United
States and their forwarding addresses
are no longer available in France. Let
tiers sent to soldiers in France not
having return addresses in cases
where the addresses are transferred

LIBERTY BOND SLACKERS IN
RENVILLE COUNTY FIND
EVASION VERY EXPENSIVE

The question of successfully handl-
ing Liberty Bond slackers appears to
have been successfully solved down
in Renville county. The following
recital from the Olivia Times of last
week has to do with two wealthy
farmers residing near Fairfax, who
absolutely ignored the call for pa
trotic duty. The Times says:
"Henry Bleick and Joseph Graml,
Liberty Bond slackers of Fairfax,
We're arrested on bench warrant is
sued by Judge Daily last week and
brought into court. Bleick had been
allotted $500 in bonds, and Graml,
$3.50. They refused to subscribe and
were advised by Chairman T. OConnor
of the Safety Commission to appear
before him. They failed to appear
and on October 25th a summons was
issued out of District curt for their
appearance on October 10Th. They
failed to obey the summons and a
bench warrant was issued and they
were arrested for contempt of court.
Sheriff Sunde brought them here last
Wednesday and as soon as the sheriff
reached town crowd gathered and
without much excitement, got the
prisoners away from the officers,
making the slackers kneel and kiss
the flag and then march to the JAIL
each carrying high above his head the
Gag.
"Next day the two men were taken

made by Bleick subscribing for $500
in bonds, donating 500 to the Red
Cross and ali Ike amount to the War
Work fund, and paying $1O9.54 cents
in fine and costs. Graml subscribed
for $3.50 in bonds, paid $75 to the Red
Cross, $50 to the War Work fund
and paid a fine of $109.54."

Red Cross Has Built Within Year
System Of Relief Work Extending to

Washington, May 20.-The American
Red Cross, the nations official mercy
organization, launches today it's second
drive for a s1OO, 900, 900 war fund.
With it's appeal for subscriptions
sanctioned and endorsed by President
Wilson. the cabinet, General PERISH
ing, Vice Admiral Sims, Cardinal Glib
bons and other prom nent Americans.
the Red Cross has set in motion it's
vast machinery of 100000 members
in an intensive campaign of one week
to obtain funds necessary for the
maintenance and expansion of great
system OF relief work overseas and at
home.
Emphasizing that the war council
has faithfully and economically ad-
ministered the peoples trust" Presi-
dent Wilson, in his recent proclama-
ton announcing the drive. pointed out
that the war fund raised in 1917
needed replenishment in order to care
for the welfare Of the men In our
military and naval forces. and for
those dependent upon them, and for
the yet more urgent necessities Of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt Of the war
Contributions to the war fund are
described by the president as "the dis
covery Of new opportunities Of help
fulness under conditions which trans
late opportunity into duty"
Last years fund easily was raised
and the campaign to treble the mem
bership went over the top with a rush,
so national officials of the orSaniza-
tion now maintain justifiable con-
fdence in the willingness Of the
American people to respond again to
the plea for subscriptions.
Since the first band of American
workers sailed last June, the Red
Cross has built up a system of relief
that extends from the home stations
OF the destroyer fleets on the Irish
coast down to the battle lines in
northern Italy. Vast sums of money
have been entrusted to the American
commissions, but the expenditures
have effected full measure of relief.
Moreover. the generosity Of the
American people as expressed In the
readiness of the Red Cross represen-
tatives to devote time and money I'M

distress of both the military and
civilian population, has imbued in the
