RED CROSS notes

Secretary of War Newton D. Ba-
ker issued the following statement af-
ter he had inspected certain Red
Cross activities in France, including
hospitals, rest stations, canteens and
store: "When one is in the zone of
the Armies or in the supply areas
words of appreciation or praise for
the American Red Cross seem SUI
perfluous. The foresight that has
characterized its present and pros
pective operations has been source
of pride to the commanding officers
of the American Expeditionary Forces
and should be source of comfort
to the people of the United States
who have made it possible and who
I know will enable it to carry on and
expand" Secretary Baker was
particularly sruck with the work be-
ing done at big American aviation
camp, according to cablegram from
Major Perkins, American Red Cross
commissioner of Europe received at
naional headquarters. He visited Of
ficers' mess and rest rooms, and also
the enlisted mems rest room. He
watched Red Cross women serve ca
diets and soldiers with coffee, choco-
late and sandwiches. He inspected a
huge army warehouse whsre the Red
Cross had large quantities of surgical
dressings, instruments. splints, pa
jamas and other hospital supplies. He
visited several hospitals. He saw the
reading material, tobacco supplies
and equipment furnished by the Red
Cross; and one evacuation hospital
in particular, where the Red Cross
had stepped into the emergency and
furnished beds. bedding surgical in.

SOW it to flax before June 18th. The

there is every reason to believe that

general staff has definitely abandoned
its former ruthless policy of risking
large masses of men, regardless of the
losses.
The Russians are now organizing of
guerilla fighting. There is as yet no
suggestion of a concerted movement of a
great Russian army against the Ger
mans. Tactics on so pretentious a scale
are not to be expected for the moment,
with Russia in its present disorganiz-
ed state.
But the undOubttd fact that Won Hin
denburg is not striking with an i'm
mense force makes it possible for the
Russians to engage in guerilla warfare
with excellent chances of success. Swift,
sharp attacks by small bodies of high.
ly mobile troops are now wholly feas-
ible against the Germans who have left
the trenches and are moving in column
formation against Petrograd
The whole German front is not ad-
vancing with the unison with the drift
against Petrograd. In effect the Petro-
grad movement is making the most vul-
nerable salient of the war out of the
the German east front. 1t is open 70
highly dangerous flank attacks, And if
Cossack troops, skilled in guerrilla at
tacks can be brought in to the northern
operations Hindenburg' nay yet retreat
to the Riga line.

returned to Toxic and reports chaotic
conditions throughout the country. He
declared both Germans and Russians
are maintaining their lines with but
small forces as a result of the armis-

The country is rumor-ridden and lit
tile which is published in the Russian
press, he says, is believable. He cited
as an instance the report published in
an Odessa paper of the landing Of Jap
anese army at Vladivostol on Decem-

consideration. Transportation is prac-
tically at standstill, and often trains
are held up indefinitely by bodies Of
