DAWSON THANKS THE DONORS
Wide Distribution Shows America Is
United Behind the Army. Says
Director of Red Cross
War Council.

New York, June 4.--The Red Cross
drive went "over the tcp" by $70.00O.-
600. More than 100000 persons con-
tributed. Contributions totaling $780,
430,2o1 have so far been complied.
These were the figures made pub
lie Sunday by Henry Z. Dawson.
chairman of the Red Cross war cOun-
ell. in declaring the campaign the most
successful in the history of the ma
tion. Mr.. Dawson said:
'rhe supreme feature of the
achievement is to be found not in the
amount of money subscribed, great as
it is, but in that 1t has come from
every part of the United States, from
It's cities. its towns, its farms. its fac
tories from the rich and the poor, re-
gardless of sect, color or political
creed.
While 1t is estimated that those
contributing to the war fund last year
numbered probably 100000 persons.
our returns this year give evidence
that more than 47,000000 Americans
have contributed to the new fund.
This manifestation of loyalty and
sacrifice by the people of our country
brings TO the Red Cross war council
renewed consciousness of the sacred
ness of its trust. 1t will stamp indel-
ibiy in the minds of our soldiers and
sailors that the American people ara
behind them to the uttermost.
congratulate every American
who has contributed either time or
money toward this the greatest work
of mercy, of love and of justice in the
history of mankind"

CAN'T BRIGHTEN U. S. WOMEN
Bombing of Red Cross Hospitals by the
Germans Won't Deter Enroll
ment of Nurses.

Washington, June 5.-Miss Jane A.
Delano, director of the department OF
nursing of the American Red Cross,
said "The persistent bombing Of Red
Cross hospitals just as our drive to en-
roll military nurses begins, may be
merely "a coincidence. II, however,
the Germans believe that such meth
ods will have any effect In deterring
American nurses from volunteering for
hospital work, they are badly mistaken.
Tactics of frightfulness will merely
send more and more of them to back
up our men. If It is the German in
tention to frighten our women they will
find that American women do not know
how to retreat any more than do our
boys in Picardy. The enrolment OF
nurses VIII be American w0manhood's
answer"

~" BASE IN MExICO7
U. S. OFFICIALS ARE DIVIDED AS
TO TRUTH OF REPORT.
Secretary Daniels Says Navy Is TAX.
ing Necessary Steps to Safe
guard Shipping.

Washington, June 3.-Opinion In
Washington was sharply divided as
to whether Germany mas established
a submarine base in Mexico. or else
where on the coasts of the Americas,
or is operating her raidlng submarines
from German bases.
Naval officials insisted there is no
evidence whatever substantiating the
claim that there are German subma-
rine bases in Mexican, Nicaraguan or
West Indian waters. The state De-
partment shares this view.
Shipping board officials, however, in
sisted there is at least strong suspicion
of bases in Mexico.
A submarine base in Mixico would
not avail Germany for operation in
the upper Atlantic, naval officials con-
.ended. They pointed to the fact that
L is 1000 miles from the Jersey coast
to Mexican waters, almost as far as
the German bases in Germany or Bel
gium.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt insisted there is no evidence
to substantiate the report of German
submarine bases on this side of the
Atlantic.
There is widespread belief in the
navy department that the return Of
the German overseas submarines ac-
counts for the loss of the naval col
lier Cyclois, sunk without a trace"
after leaving Barbados.

WORKING UNDER PRESSURE.

"1 care not how my cook makes
mullins, but | must know how her
mind works." says Chesterton, or
words to that effect. Translating
this into modern terms it would
read, 81 do not care how much wheat
there is, but | must know where it
works best" Just now wheat is like
some men. 1t works best under
pressure.
In this year of 1918 there are four
places that wheat may be. 1t may be
in Australia or Argentina, in which
case it is unimportant, for these
countries are glutted with it. 1t may
be in America, where its value is
well understood. Or it may be in
Europe, where it will do some of the
hardest and most necessary work for
the allies serving with the soldiers
of France and Italy and with our
own regulars and nationals in the
trenches. If Americans want to get
the most food-pounds of work out Of
wheat, they will send all they can to
Europe, where the pressure is high.

Results of the Elections.

Tuesdays election resulted in
some surprises, although Hun
terdon county elected aa Demo-
cratic Senator, Assemblyman
and Freebooter, but all by re-
duced majorities, running as
low as 145 in the case of Sen
ator. Congressman Elijah c.
Hutchinson, Republican, was
reelected by a big majority,
and the two Republican candi-
dates for United States Sena-
tor, Walter E. Edge, and David
Baird, for the full and short
terms, respectively, were cleo
ted. The New Jersey Legisla-
ture will be Republican as a
whole, the House being tie, and
the Senate having eight major
ity.
The liquor question was voted
on in a number of Hunterdon
County communities, with re-
suits about as anticipated. The
townships of West Amwell,
Raritan, Clinton and Alexandria
voted dry, while Delaware, IN
ion and Readington, with Stock
ton borough, voted wet.
In Lambertville there were
no local contests, but on the
county and state offices the Re-
publican votes ran from 374 to
424, and the Democratic from
378 to 420.
-. In Pennsylvania, and Bucks
county, . in particular, the Re-
'publicans were generally sue
cessful, and in the state the
$50,000,000 road loan amend
ment was successful. New Hope
had no local contests, but the
general Republican vote ran
about 140 to- 100 Democratic,
with Andrew j. Scarborough,
a local man and one Of the AS
sembly candidates as high man
on the LATTER ticket, he having

annals Of Lambertville will be
held in the Presbyterian church
of this city on Tuesday evening
next, when Albert E. Roberts,
of New York, who has just re-
turned from the European war
front, will deliver a most inter
esting account of his experien-
ces and what is being done for
the relief of the suffering over
there.
There will be no admission
fee, no collection, nor no solicit
tation or pledging of any kind.
In these days of many calls for
money it will be refreshing to
enjoy hearing a speaker away
above the average, and yet not
be able to spend a cent.
The rally will be held in the
church auditorium, and every
body will be welcome. -.
