many's war aims were briefly set
forth, the idea that she desired to
secure world domination through the
war disclaimed. and The responsible
ity for tho conflict primarily placed
upon Russia by Dr. Richard Won
kuehlmann, the German foreign
secretary. in Il speech to the reich
stag in Berlin yesterday.
While declaring that what was de-
sired for the German people and
their allies was "a free, independent
existence" within the boundaries
drawn for them "by history" the
foreign secretary said Germany
would have to decline to make any
prior concessions by stating her
position as TO Belgium In way
which would bind her Without SINH
larly binding Germany's enemies
Referring to the responsibility for
the war, as he viewed 1t, DR.. Won
Keuhlmann said,
81 do not believe any responsible
man in Germany, not even the em-
peror or the members OF the imperial
government, ever for a moment he
lieved they could win the domination
OF oGurope by starting this war. The
idea or world domination in Europe
is Utopian, AS was proved by Ma
poleon."
Russia 20 Blame.
After declaring that the rcvela-
tions that had been made showed
Russia as the power which planned
and desired the war, with France
abetting her and England's attitude
strengthening the Russian desire for
conflict. Or. Won Kuehlmann again
declared that Germany had not en-
tertalned any belief that this war
could lead even 10 the domination
of Europe and much less that of the
world
In introducing his statement OF the

If an epidemic threatens the camp, as dur
ing the recent winter, and the hard-worked
Army Medical Staff is baf1ed, they may call
for Red Cross laboratory car to be rushed
to the scene with its expert psychologists and
scientific equipment to study the situation and
help protect the men.
In every camp there are the Red Cross
Storehouses filled with emergency medical and
surgical supplies. Then there are the knitted
goods made by the devoted women of America,
and there were few of our men who were not
thankful to those women for additional COM
fort during the trying winter months.
If the soldier falls Ill in the cantonment he
is put in ambulance, perhaps the gift of a

Corps possibly the doctor attending him is an
officer of Hospital Unit organized and

probability is one of the thousands of Red
Cross nurses recruited by the Red Cross for
service in the Army and Navy.

worries from his shoulders, and through the
Red Cross Chapter in his home town to remove
the cause Of those worries
Home Service
The care OF the soldiers family is as necessary
as the care Of the soldier himself if the spirit
so necessary to his effectiveness as a fighting
man is to be maintained II he is harassed
BY anxiety about those dearest TO him 1t home
he cannot be on fighting edge.
Red Cross Home Service meets this problem
II is a new condition that such large per-
centagc Of its young men should be removed
from town with all they have meant in moral
and financial support Their absence creates
new problems, in the aggregate so large they
must be coped with in large way. Red Cross
Home Service makes the sympathy. interest
and help of the whole community available to
the family in = practical manner. It is playing
the part Of the old neighbor in a new way.
To see that the family is not disorganized
while he is absent; to give temporary financial
aid when necessary: to care for those who
though they are related to him, have no legal
claim upon the Government; to give informa-
ton about -allotments, terms of enlistment
war risk insurance; to cooperate with the Gov
eminent in the after-care of the disabled SOL
dier and his read djustment to life; to act as the
good neighbor and friend of the family in
troubles large and small when the soldier is
absent - these are the aims Of Red Cross
Home Service, established in every section of
the country. and already serving one hundred
thousand dependent families of soldiers and
sailors
Home Service is not a charity; it is as much
the soldiers right as any protection which the
people give him.
Foreign Service
American troops are now in France in great
numbers = greater numbers Will follow day
BY day : and Americas task abroad will be-
come sterner.
The need for the Red Cross abroad is but
greater for the distance. Red Cross prepsrs-
ton for the reception of our troops in France
has been going on since the first month of the
war. The Red Cross Commission in France has
Dullt great, extensive OrRAnlZatlOu IN people
and material, to assure that our men will have
every care the Red Cross can give them.
Through all the months since war began, Red
Cross supplies have occupied part of many
ships; piling up in the great Red Cross ware
houses in France against the arrival of our
men. The great Red Cross motor fleet has
been organized to transport Red Cross sup
plies.
All through these months, the organization
has been studying and training, SO that it
would be able to cope effectively with the prob
lens created by the arrival of our men. Red
Cross in France is supporting our Army and
is ready for any further task that may, within
reason, fall to it
On the way to his camp in France, the
American soldier gets food and rest at the
Red Cross canteens. On the way from the
trenches to his camp, he meets the great Red
Cross canteens on the lines of communication.
Here the tired, nerve-worn soldier, covered
