A spLENDID LAM

From the Milford Chronicle.
Tho enactment OF a bill in Maryland
which compels an vehicles to carry and
display lights when standing or trav-
cling upon the public highways Of
Maryland, is a splendid law and 1t Will
be enforced with benefit 10 every per-
son who travels after dark upon the
roads. This will compel Delaware
teams using the Maryland roads to
carry lights and display them and this
should have been a law in Delaware
many years ago. With thousands OF
automobiles travelling the highways, and
horse-drawn vehicles frequently out
after nighifan, there is danger TO both
when no lights Of warning arc used.
Had such a law been upon the statute
books Of Delaware, IL Is almost a GER
tainty the great sorrow which came TO
Governor Townsend last winter, when
his wife was killed by the accident on
the dupont Boulevard, would never
have happened Delaware must have a
law s>~lilar 10 that enacted In Maryland,

The German Menace 10 American Labor
by JOHN n. COMMONS University of wisconsin

There is one thing that will set labor
back permanently, and that Is a German
victory
Twenty years ago the Gar or Russia
proposed that all nations should cut
down their standing armies, but they
could not do 10 because Germany re-
fused. Later Great Britain offered TO Join
with Germany and cut down their nav
les, but the Kaiser would not even talk
about 80. Germany was preparing for
something like this.
II Germany defeats Great Britain, she
viii take over the British navy She
will then be far and away the most
powerful country in the world and we
Americans will be compelled TO have q
permanent standing army and a huge
navy TO defend ourselves from sudden
attack.
About every hundred years some ma
tion Of Europe starts out to conquer
the others and rule the word. First il
was Spain, which in America owned
everything from California 10 pata-
gonia. Then 10 was France and Ma
poleon, who took louisiana and the
great country west Of the Mississippi
away from Spain.
But though Spain conquered nearly
every nation of Europe and Napoleon
conquered every nation on the
continent, they could not reach Great
Britain The British navy compelled
Spain and France to let go Of America (;
andsuch democracy as we have in North
and South America is possible because
no one country in Europe could perma-
nenlly conquer the others as long as It
could not conquer Great Britain. Our
country has been big and free and IN
armed because Europe was divided

Twenty Thousand Blankets Rushed to

Sweaters worth 81, $50, 900 have been
given to soldiers in Southwestern
camps and environments by the Red
Cross since the mobilization of the
National army was begun.
This information is contained in a
report made to the Washington head.
quarters Of the American Red Cross
BY Stanley Stoner, director of military
relief for the Southwestern division of
the organization.
Stoner's report is proof positive of
the support the Red Cross is giving
the VA Department in fitting Ameri.
pan soldiery for winning the war. That
no other agency outside the War De.
partment itself is SO potent a factor to
that end is recognized and admitted
generally. Every supporter of the Red
Cross well may feel that he or she &C.
tually is helping to save the world for
democracy and to crush the unspeak.
able house Of Hohenzollern.
The report made by Director Stone,
shows that 100000 sweaters were dis
tri6uted up to Feb. l to soldiers in

several smaller camps and to the army
which constantly is on guard on the
Mexican border. But sweaters was
only n of 200 items provided. II was
impossible for the War Department ~
f%oresee many requirements Of the sol.
diers, and in many instances. when
necessity arose for supplies Of differ,
ent kinds, 1t was impossible to get
army acquisitions through fast enough
to handle the situation. Field direc.
tors in the different camps, always on
the alert for such emergencies and
armed with authority to spend money
freely when necessity arose stepped
In and provided whatever was needed
for the comfort and well-being OF the
men.
From Spoons to Automobiles.
In addition to the sweaters, 44,37O
mufflers were distributed. Other items
were as follows: Socks, 66,373; blan-
kets, 1,160; wristlets. q, 1854; helmets,
BIOS: Christmas packages, 1857;
automobiles. 4; comforts, 1889. The
automobiles were touring cars neces-
sary for the proper transportation of
sick soldiers from their quarters to
hospitals. Nearly 600, 900 items, 671,-
s25 to be exact. were distributed.
Their diversity is illustrated by the
following list taken from Director
Stoner's report: Towels. BAHAMAS,
comfort kits. playing cards, tooth
brushes, tooth paste, condemned milk.
oil heaters. drugs, bed sheets, pillow
cases, rubber gloves, soup, foot pow
der, shoes, magazines, books, slippers.
wash cloths, bath robes, hot-water bot
ties. window curtains, bath rugs, ice
picks, egg heaters, spoons. electric
plates. knives. spoons, gowns, apples,
oranges, lemons. nuts, foot warmers.

noes, rubber sheets, cots, auto trucks.
fly swatters. soup strainers, pneu.
monia jackets, chickens, dish rags.
combs. Victrola, quilts.

OF them, soldiers are praising 1t. They

Service Which Saves Lives.
Nothing illustrates better what the
Red Cross means to the soldiers in the
Southwestern camps and environments
than an occurrence at Camp Bowie,
Fort Worth. Tex. When the December
blizzard struck the camp it found the
men ~unprepared for it. One thousand
soldiers fell i'll in "a hours. More than
1000 were Ill 72 hours after the biz
zard hit. Many of them were threat
ened with pneumonia. Many had pneu
monia There was insufficient bedding.
The government was unable to take
care OF the situation. Charles W. Con.
merry, field director for the Red Cross
at Camp Bowie, bought every blanket
he could get in Fort Worth and other
Texas cities and wired Red Cross
headquarters at st. Louis for more.
Within 48 hours after the blizzard
struck. Connery turned over 20, 900
blankets to the commandant of the
camp. without any cost to the govern
e whatever. Undoubtedly this
quick work saved the lives of MANY
soldiers.
That is the sort of work the Red
Cross is doing for $4,000 American
soldiers in the Southwestern camps
and cantonments, likewise in every
camp and cantonment in the United
States. That is how money given to
the Red Cross is spent in military
relief.

ARMY N ORDERED TO
MAKE USE OF RED CROSS

Realizing the great force for good
embodied in the Red Cross, and like
wise realizing that the Red Cross is
the most important agency outside the
soldier himself for winning the war
for America and her allies, Secretary
Of War Baker has issued a mandatory
order directing the commanders of
camps and cantonments all over the
United States to make use Of the
services and supplies Of the American
Red Cross.
This means that commanders gsn.
orally will avail themselves of the
Red Cross whenever necessary. The
Secretary OF Wars order has been
transmitted to all commanders
throughout the United States.
