Ben Gets There

Benz. R. Schmid, of Milroy, Mimi,
who has accepted the position OF
cashier of the Fidelity State Bank of
Orof1o, arrived this week and has
been making the acquaintance of the
people and his new field. Mrs. Schmid
and the children, two daughters, are
visiting relatives in Charleston, Wash.
before coming to their new home.
Mr.. Schmid is well pleased with our
town and the country, and is sure he
is making no mistake in coming
among us. He thinks we have a
great country and that it has prom
ising future. Apparently he is a
booster, full of pep, and will be
found doing his part in whatever will
make for the upbuilding of Orofino or
Orofino, Idaho.

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE, REDWOOD FALLS, MINNESOTA

We are not attempting in this let
ter to cover the situation with respect
to many other equally important Red
Cross activities of the chapters, the
home service and the canteen serv
ice, and work of the actual admin
istrative affairs of the chapters,
neither have we made any attempt
to forecast some newer forms of ac
tivity, such as reclamation of sol
diers' clothing While all of these
are combining ourselves in this letter
to chapter production.
Your chapter will be asked by this
office to produce definite quantities
of certain articles. These allotments
will be changed from time to time
as we receive further estimates {!
requirements from national head
quarters, and you are urged on all
accounts to confne your production
to these definite allotments and to
secure your materials through our
division supply warehouse.
You are particularly requested not
to purchase through outside sources
any of tie materials we carry in
stock, even though you may
at times be able to get
more expeditions deliveries there
by. The reason for this request
is that the government has agreed
to allow US to participate in purchase
of gauze, cotton outing flannel and
such staple materials at the prices
paid by the government and on prac-
tically the same terms of delivery,
only with the specific understanding
that chapters would refrain from out
side purchases of these materials
This condition is imposed because
such purchases tend to demoralize
market conditions and make more
difficult the government task of regu-
lating the manufacture and market
ing of these staple materials.
1t is hoped that this long letter
may convey very clear understand
ing of the difficult problem which
cOnfronts US and the spirit in which
we are trying to meet it.
There has been nothing finer than
the unselfish and devoted way that
the women of the country have given
OF their time and skill in making
Red Cross aid dependable. We ap-
preciate that work done in this way
lacks something of the personal
touch which comes from working
for particular institution, or for
particular group of people abroad, or
on the field. We are none the less sure
that the basis on which, broadly
speaking. we are attempting TO
handle the matter, is the only practi-
cal one. Our standards are based
on first hand knowledge and careful
observation of people who are right
on the ground. We hope to change
our standards as little as possible;
we hope to have them as simple as
possible. Other patterns of a parti-
cular thing are sometimes urged by
someone who has had limited ex-
perience abroad as superior to the
Red Cross standard Our standards
arc, however, meeting the test of real
service every day. The goal which
we have set is not a visionary one.
but we have hard practical war facts
to face.
We are confident that every loyal
member of the Red Cross will do the
utmost to promote the efficiency of
the organization, so that we may
continue to be the greatest relief
agency operating in the war

For months past, careful studies
have, been in progress, not only by

in close cooperation with the army
and navy to determine the need for

estimates of their requirements be-

the chapters. To make things called
for by this estimate will mean that

this work Some of these articles
are for our own soldiers and fol
those who will soon be called to the

military while still others are for the
unfortunate population in the actual

serve to alleviate, so far as possible
the suffering of old men, of women

THE LATE SENATOR STONE.

The late Senator William J. Stone wa:
somewhat out of the drift of the Amer.
lcanism OF the present day. That is tbs
most charitable thing that might be said
of his attitude in the days preceding the
declaration of state of war by Congress
a little more than year ago He surely
was not in tune with the public senti-
ment OF the major part of the United
States in those days, however much he
may have followed the sentiment of his
own state OF Missouri. He strongly op.
posed the government in its attitude
which, since that time, has been fully
substantiated by the revelations of Ger
man treachery to the world; but Senator
Stone did what he could do perhaps,
after the declaration Of war, to undo the
wrong that his original opposition caused,
albeit he never was real power in gov
eminent circles after joining the .willful
twelve" in the early weeks of 1917
Known as one of the original paciiists of
the Senate, he never regained the I'M
diluted confidence of the American people
and probably not. of the president him

CURRENT COMMENT
Newspaper and Church Notices.

The Middlebury Register announces
the diseontinuance Of church notices, the
| Middlebury pastors having declined an
arrangement whereby the churches were
to pay low stated charge per line for
these notices. The Register uses over
three columns to discuss the ethics and
practical aspects of the situation and in
reply to critical communication signed
by the clergymen The matter of church
and other notices is a puzzling one in
many a newspaper Office. Publishers in.
variably accord them every privilege
they can, consistently with the proper
conduct OF the newspaper. But practi
cally all newspapers must adopt and OBJ
serve certain rules in regard to them, or
they would be overrun. If these, m
comparatively few cases, extend TO a
small charge, such as the Register feels
compelled to make, there is no ground
for complaint, as the publicity is well
worth the cost. Most newspapers, how
ever, publish church. fraternal and no
tees of social nature, free from adj
vertising features, without charge-iust

Over-confdence is likely to spoil tho
moral effect of the third Liberty loan un
less there is turn of the tide in favor
of real hard concerted effort from the
head of the campaign down to the Local
committee in the smallest place in the
United States. In the first flush of en-
thusiasm over the great subscriptions on
the first day the prediction was made
that the three billion dollars asked would
be readily Forthcoming and that the to-
tai subscription would be far above the
minimum The result of that over-confi-
denee is now evident in the marked slow
ing down of the movement in many sec

Having outlived its usefulness, if, in
deed it ever was useful to the United
States, the so-called German American
alliance. which has fourished in some
parts of the country, has gone out OF
business rather than to wait for Con
gress TO put it out Of business. 1t is as
the Springfield Republican says:
The passing of the German American
alliance as an incident of the war should
clear the ground for reconstruction
IT, must be a part of the Americaniza-
ton process which events have forced
upon the nation and which, it may be
hoped, will be one Of the most beneficial
results of the couutry's participation in
the world eon2;.t
1t is evident that the United States
has got an important work to do just
as soon as it can get ready. That is the
assimilation of the various foreign ele-
ments, the assimilation of them in spirit
as well as industriaIly and commercially
the assimilation of them so that when it
comes to the test of loyalty the balance
will swing sharply in favor of the United

WHY BUY A BONDg

Every one of us should bear in mind
that we have not done our duty by the
boys across the ocean if, being able, we
have not bought some of the third Lib
mately half million soldiers to Europe
and being now getting ready to increase
the shipment to half million more, we,
as a nation, must keep the supplies con
stantly going to them, as well as to our
allies. That neeessitates a constant
movement of ships to and from Europe.
each laden with men and the countless
things which those men need In order
to carry on this very important work OF
keeping open the line of communication
between the bases of supply here in the
United States and the soldiers in Europe
it is imperative that ships be built TO the
utmost capacity OF our shipyards and
in the second place we must keep the
stream of outgoing supplies up to the
highest pitch. That means money, a
vast amount Of money, all the money
that this government can rake together.
1t means your money, it means the mon
ey of all of us Therefore, come forward
with your loans to the government now.
Don't delay if you prefer victory instead
OF defeat in the great struggle now go
ing on if you prefer to dictate to Ger
many rather than to pay a huge indem
nifty to the kaiser. Go to any bank and
subscription of as much as
you can furnish.

FRANCE SAW THE 1EuToN TRICK


The publication of documents, or al.
legged documents, which passed between
Austria and France in 1917 notably the
letter from Emperor Charles of Austria
TO his brother.in-law. Prince Sixtus de
Bourbon, indicates that a strong effort
was made to separate the allies by max
ing peace with France; and il indicates
that the effort was SO clumsy as TO be
readily seen through by France. The
purring statement from Austria that
Austria and France really were not far
apart in their desires after all and that
they might even work together for peace
Wa coupled with the lame statement
that Austria would do all in its power to
all France in securing her rights in Al
