NV dear Miss Jones:

TeU, lO, 1910
My dear Miss Jones:
AS soon as | rad your letter of
Feb. H., Immediately sent fifteen
sweaters, (all we had on hand at
the tirne) to the Red Cross Field
Director with the request that
they be distributed, at once among
the Boys from Highland. | also
took steps TO see that the rest of
the Highland boys would be sup
piled at once, so hope you will find
this satisfactory solution for the
problem.
You see, we are sending all our
work through the Red Cross in
order to- prevent overlapping. As
matter of fact, the Red Cross has
already distributed the $500
sweaters among the men at An
niston. l personally took up the
matter with Mr.. Henry White,
Director of the Potomac Division,
and we decided this was the most
efficient and quickest way to handle
the matter. So all our sweaters
are being turned in to the Red
Cross as they come in, The plan
is proving most satisfactory, so |
trust your organization will think
it all right.
All your hospital supplies should
be shipped from this time on to the
Potomac Division Red Cross,
Washington, D. C. A letter tc
that Division will give you the ad-
dress of their distributing ware
house.
AS we are having emergency calls
for wristlets and muflers, would
suggestthat you put some of your
wool into these articles.
Please do not hesitate to call up
on US when you think we can be of
assistance; your League has been
splendid in its efficient work and
loyal cooperation, and we appreci-
ate more than you can know.
With all good wishes for the sue
cess of your Red Cross Chapter.
Very sincerely,
Edith Louis Sale

This farreaching view of the proper
treatment OF the problem of crime is
not so radical as it looks at first sight.
II is only development of the use of
mental tests which have already been
employed for school children and for
! industrial workers. These tests show
the most startling facts about the de

criminals on whom they have been
tried. With all the weight Of his medi-
cal authority, d.. Hutchinson power
fully urges that the criminal be an

predicts that an entirely new method,
which he wildly describes from the

progressive Institutions, will finally be

VOICES SYMPATHY
WITH AMERICANS

Secretary OF War Baker has written
the following yetter:
January Z, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Blome:
| have received your letter OF De-
ccmbcr 80, yoicing your loyalty and
Jhat OF the great mass of other Am
orleans of German blood TO the gov
eminent OF the United States and to
The ideals of its freedom in this con-
dict with the Imperial German gov
arnmcnt and its ideals Of military
conquest and autocratiC rule.
As so many others have done, you
arc suffering for the oTcnscs against
civilization in the name OF the I'M
perial government by Prussian de
fotccs of repression and force. Tn.
happily, it has seemed inevitable that
the ofIcnscse OF the guilty should in.
yolvc the innocent.
Even in the days when the aggrcs-
sions Of the Imperial German govern
mcnt We're driving the authorities in
Washington to accept a state OF war
there was no doubt OF the loyalty of
great masses Of Americans Of German
| extraction, and there was a whole
| hearted effort to protect these citi.
zons from the enmitics engendered by
war. No wholesale and indisCrimin-
ate measures OF repression were taken
against alien agents and tools and
sympathizers within our borders.
Therefore patience was preached and
race antagonism discouraged. There
has been constant aim to give the
loyal and disloyal an opportunity to
separate themselves from each other
by speech and actions. Only in this
way could loyal Americans Of Ger
man blood be protected from even
greater injusticcs than they have
been called upon to endure.
Happily this process of diffcrentia-
ton between the loyal and the dis
loyal seems now to be approaching n
conclusion With the latter placed
where thoy shall be harmless. 1t is
hoped that life may be made less un.
happy for those of whom you speak.
No one in Washington can fail TO
be impressed with the repeated and
emphasized statements Of the prcsi-
dent concerning the necessity for rem
dcring every possible aid and comfort
to those who by birth are descended
from the people of the central empires,
but by thought and conduct and ideals
are allied to the liberal forces in the
present struggle.
Let me assure you that | withhold
no encouragement or sympathy from
those who feel as you do.
Cordially, yours,

Secretary of War

ONLY AMOUNT OF WHEAT SAVED
WILL BE EXPORTED TO,ALL|ES

The United States Food Administra-
ton has issued the following:
II is true that the allies need from
100000 to 10000, 900 bushels more
American wheat. 1t is also true we
have already exported the theoretical
surplus OF last harvest over our nor
mai consumption. The American PEG
pie have saved considerable amount.
estimated from 25,OOO.OOO to 1900 900
bushels during the past five months
and We are exporting this saving.
We can not and will not export more
than our savings, Tor our own people
must also be fed. The allies have re
dCccd the bread ration 10 their people
sharply the last few days and if this
lowered ration is to be maintained We
must save more than hitherto.
Every grain OF wheat and every
ounce OF flour and bread saved now Is
exactly that amount supplied to some
man, woman, and child among the al.
lies.
We are asking the American people
10 further reduce their consumption OF
wheat products and use other food
stuns instead, for the allies must also
have some wheat as well as our
selves. II is one OF the vital issues
in winning the war that We must
maintain the health and strength and
morale of their men, women, and chill
drcn over this winter.
our IS state food administrators
have been in session in Washington
the last few days deyising with Us q
further program OF saving which We
will announce in few days in which
We count with confidence on public
support.
The allies are also asking US if We
can double our meat and pork products
exports. as they must in England
France. and Italy further reduce THEN
meat and fat ration unless we can in
crease exports. We have replied thai
We will ask our people to save more
for We can only export our savings.
There need be no fear that our owl
supplies will not be protected and If

that of her husband alone. She affect
