 ITALY RAlDED
 BY HUN AIRMEN
ssociated Press)

- WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.- The national headquarters of the American Red Cross society here was today advised that several of its hospitals in Italy have been sub- jected to ruthless bombing by the aviators of the Austrian forces. Much damage has been done to the hos pitals and several casualties have resulted from the bombardments.
 One of the most recent raids was directed against Castle Franco. where the American Red Cross has an i'm mense hospital. This place was se- verely damaged and many of the sup plies stored there were damaged so they will have to be replaced by new ones, according to the advices re- ceived from the Red Cross officials in Italy.
 The campaign against the hospitals appears to be the outcome of de- liberate policy of the Austrians to destroy facilities for handling the wounded and sick. The vatican has been asked by the Italians to pro- test against this outrage to the Aus trian government.

 VIRGINIA, Minn., Jan. 28.-In a last effort to prevent the proposed lumber strike, soldiers and police are arresting the Industrial Worker agitators who have been instrumental in the labor troubles and are run ming them out of the country. It now seems impossible to avert the strike, which will have disastrous effects upon a portion of the gov ernment's war activities unless it is settled in a short time.
 The Industrial Workers of the World are protesting. against the ar. rest of its leaders and the prosecu- tion which is being handed out to them by the soldiers and police. Much I. w. w. propaganda has been circulated throughout the lumber camps of the state and has been the cause of the proposed strike. If it goes into effect, practically ev- cry mill and logging camp in the state will be forced to cease opera tions.
 In anticipation of disorders, the military officials have sent several companies of the Minnesota national guard to the points which are the most likely to be scenes of dis order.

GREETING TO
 FIGHTING MEN

George Ade has written the fol- lowing as a holiday message to our young fighting men," He contributes it to the National Security Leagues campaign on patriotism through edu. cation:
 We must win the big war or else revise all moral codes, rewrite all proverbs and adopt brand-new set of rules to govern conduct. We have accepted certain time- honoi cd adages as self-evident truths. We found them in our early copy. books and we grew upon them and repeated them so often that naturally we came to think that they could be relied upon.
 Then Germany came along with an intensely modern variety of ethics bearing the label of Kultur
 The new medicine is not taken in formally or rubbed on as a liniment, but you have it shot into you by a large gun.
 All Thrown Into Alley. Unless we refuse to take the treat ment. everything that we ever be- lieved will be overruled, discarded and thrown into the alley.
 If Germany is not licked to a stand still we might as well begin to memo rize and humbly accept the following: Dishonesty is the best policy Be as mean as a skunk and you will be happy.
 Blessed are the child murderers. for they shall inherit the earth.
 Be sure you are right handy with firearms. then go ahead. An evil reputation is better than riches.
 Virtuous-and Miserable.
 Truth crushed to earth will not rise again if the crushing is done in su- perior and efficient manner.
 Be virtuous and you will be msera- ble.
 Thrice armed is he who goes around picking quarrels.
 Might makes right
 Hell on earth and hatred for all men.
 Do unto others as you suspect that they might do unto you if they ever got to be as disreputable as you are.
 God helps the man that helps him. self to his neighbours house, and his fields and his unprotected women.
 Those don't sound right, do they?
 The old ones that we learned first of all are not yet out of date.
 Suppose we don't revise them
