Ex-Czar's Sister
Arrives Safely
I'm Switzerland

BERNE, June 9.-The arrival in
Switzerland of the Grand Duchess Oloa
sister of former Emperor Nicholas Of
Russia, gives color to recent persistent
reports that the former Emperor and
Empress and others of the Romanoff
family may take up residence here or
at some other point outside Russia
where their personal safety will be less
endangered by disorders in that coun-
try.
The Grand Duchess journeyed from
the interior of Russia to Petrograd
and thence to Berlin, Zurich and
Geneva. At Geneva she Joined the
family of the former King Constantine

German Storm Troops
Get Drugged Rum
Especial Dispatch to The T7ibuue)
DCrI - ~,


PITTSBURGH. June 9.-When Ger
man attacking waves fling themselves
against Allied fronts their fear of the
slaughter awaiting them is dulled by
use of a drug which produces a homi-
eldal frenzy, according to Frederick
Wilkes, soldier in France. Writing
to his father, Pittsburgh newspaper
man, Wilkes, serving in the gas and
flame division of an engineer regiment,
describes how this German device to
lmpel storm troops to brave death was
discovered. After telling of Teuton
attack being repulsed, he writes:
"They were driven back Our boys
followed and came across piles of their
dead, the bodies still being warm. We
were worn out with a long lombard
ment and began to look for drinking
water. One of the boys noticed can
teens on the bodies of dead Germans
and took one of them off with the idea
of getting water When he took a swal-
low he found it was strong rum. A
more venturesome one decided to taste
the stuff more thoroughly. He had not
swallowed it long before he became a
raving maniac, with q crazed desire to
kill everyone he saw. 1t was then we
discovered the rum had been drugged.
"They come shoulder to shoulder, in
solid ranks, as close as sheep. The
machine guns NOW them down, but
they keep coming, crawling and climb
ing over their own dead, piled high in
front of them, all screaming like
maniacs and trying to advance"

Americans Called
Last Hope of Allies

AMSTERDAM, June 8.-The newly
elected president Of the Reichstag.
Herr Fehrenbach. was loudly applauded
during his speech in the Reichst to-
day, in which he referred to the Amer
leans as the last hope of the allies.
We are apparently confronted with
gigantic climax to the war;" he said.
IN. Clemenceau describes the situa-
tion as terribly serious, but he has one
hope, the Americans. We and our al
lies do not rely on foreign forces, but,
with the protection of the All Highest,
on the invincible strength of the Ger
man army and the unconquerable per-
severance of the German people.
"Is there still any man in the world
who believes that the army which has
overcome the greatest armies of Eu-
rope, reinforced by Canadians, Aus
tralians and Asiatic troops, will recoil
before the army, which, perhaps, Amer
ica may yet send over against US.
IF it pleases the French to see that
part of beautiful France which is still
undevastated converted into battle
field, with Americans taking part, the
responsibility for the pain and suffer
ing falls not upon us, but upon them.
With steeled, unbroken strength we
Will enter upon what is assuredly the
last stage in this enormous struggle"

Reichstag Is Told
Alsace Lorraine
Sides With France

COPENHAGEN, June 8. - In de-
nouncing the arrests of thousands Of
peaceful citizens Of Alsace-Lorraine by
the German military authorities Herr
Wendell, Socialist Deputy, declared in
the Reichstag yesterday that the mill
tary had alienated the sympathies Of
the majority of the people of Alsace-
Lorraine, with the result that day
they favored France, mot because Of
any particular love for the tricolor,
but because of resentment at the Ger
man military rule"
Wendell was cheered when he said ::
"A!sace- Lorraine must have the same
rights as the German Federal states,
namely, home rule"
AMSTERDAM, June 9.-The military
dictatorship in Alsace Lorraine was de-
nounced in the Reichstag yesterday by
hermann Wendell, Socialist deputy. He
said four-fifths of the population was
strongly pro-German when the war be-
gan, but that now conditions were en-
tirely reversed.
Herr Hauss, a deputy from Alsace,
said that persons acquitted by military
courts after having once been banished
had again been sent away, in disregard
OF the law. He declared there was no
doubt discomfort prevailed in Alsace
but added that if the Reichstag did it's
duty this feeling would vanish

A TIMELY WARNING TO
WOMEN AND
GIRLS.
Alexandria, La, June I, 1918.

Alexandria, La, June I, 1918.
As representative of the War De-
partment Commission on War Camp
Community Work and Girls Work,
we wish to call attention of the peo-
pie of your city to the grave hangers
facing women and girls who come
here. As is always the case with
cantonment towns, there has been a
large number of girls and women
coming to Alexandria without visible
means of support, and who are com
PEELED to meet situations which are
entirely new to them. We should
like to remind your readers Of these
four things:
1. The housing situation in this
city is a very congested one. The
cost of rooms is very high as is also
the price Of food. --
2. There are practically no op-
portunities for legitimate employ
ment. "a
3. Girls and women who are here
without visible means Of support are
arrested on a vagrancy charge and
sentenced from Is to 80 days in the
city Jail. =
4. Under Ordinance 204 SUSPECT
Gus women are confined for 80 days
in the city jail.
A large number of foolish and
vicious women have coma to Alex
andira from the various towns in
your state and doubtless some from
your home town. We wish to warn
mothers of the improperly and dan
ger of permitting young girls to
travel alone to a cantonment city.
May we not emphasize to the par
ents that even though they have
every confidence in their daughters.
they should not allow them to be
exposed to the pitfalls and tempta-
tions with which they are sure to
come in contact when they visit Alex
andria without chaperOn.
Sincerely yours,
LEONARD A. PARR,
Rep. War Dept Commission on
Training Camp Activities.

REDCROSS ASKS
TO SEND 372
NURSES FROM
LOUISIANA

The Red Cross wants Louisiana
nurses-372 of them!
That is a large number, but the
state is expected to be able to MAX ?
the quota.
A nurses recruiting campaign is
going on throughout the country
now. Its purpose is to enroll 25,0OE
Red Cross nurses by January 1, 1919.
The Gulf Division of the Red Gross
consisting of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama is asked to furnish
900 of the number. And Louisi-
ana's share in the responsibility IS
heavier than that of the two other
states.
So, every graduate registered nurse
between twenty-three and forty with
at least two years hospital training,
good health and no ties to force her
at home should enroll. The public
will help by dispensing with the sal-
vice of nurses except in cases of ex-
treme illness asd then emolpying
Red Cross nurses awaiting call.
Red Cross nurses earn from $50
to $50 a month, have all living and
travelling expenses paid, and are Civ
en- the benefit TO war risk insurance.
Louisiana nurses wishing to enroll
should apply to one of the following
women: Mrs. n S. Cohen, 2237
Peters avenue, New Orleans; Mrs.
C. r. Elliott, 2420 St. Charles ave-
nue., New Orleans; Miss Clara Ru-
benzor, 426 College street, Shreve-
