AMSTERDAM, June 49, Emperor
William declared last Saturday at a
celebration of the anniversary Of his

Bv MEREDITH NICHOLSON
 Of the Vi0ilantes

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument ot mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War days the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not only in the range and variety of its effort, but in efficiency and effectiveness.
 The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms of the mothers of the world reached out to their sons to bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red Cross is an army uithont e gmn that wages war only upon suffering and heartache. Where the flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go forth to with spirit of hopefulness because know that this great agency of humanity presses close behind them; that its work Is not incidental but the intelligent directed effort of one of the most marvellous organizations ever contrived by American genius.
 We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we shall be called upon again to contribute to its funds again and perhaps again. And we will respond again and yet again. For this is war for the defense of civilization and we of great free, splendid glorious America, have every intention that it shall be fought with the army of the Red Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS Py15ident Ameriean Soeier for THriG

There has been a marked increase in the supply of salt water fish this summer with the result that fish of excellent food values are sold in the wholesale markets of Atlantic seaboard cities at prices ranging from 4 to 6 cents pound, thus making possible retail price of 10 cents a pound in territory not far removed from the Atlantic coast.
 When war was declared the govern mcnt took over large numbers of trawlers for naval purposes, but Cana dian trawlers have since been admitted to American waters and there has been in addition q large amount of new con- struetion during recent months. Hence the supply of fish is now being steadily increased. It is just as thrifty and just ns patriotic to assist through co-opeya-

 As founder and head of w. l.. De- woody and company, he developed a business that has never ceased to ex- pand, and which today has the bright est prospects in its history. In at taining business success, Mir.

such notice. It is so unusual as to be worthy of comment.
 It would seem that the governor would require compliance with law in the presentation of petitions f
 pardons, but this is not the case. In at least one case from Jefferson rci gently, a pardon was granted, the man released, returned to his homes and was arrested on another charge before the public had opportunity t3 learn that movement for his part don was under way.
 The Graphic takes it for granted that Governor Brough has the best of reasons for issuing pardons, but the law requiring public notice in the county where the conviction took place Of a petition for pardon euld be enforced. No harm could come of this, and in many cases the governor would be given the benei fit of information he may not hav4 when only one side is heard.
 Anyway, the people of county in which person is convicted of crimd are entitled to know when an effort to obtain the convict's release is to bd made.

Washington, July 1.-President Will son today vetoed the legislative, exeu- tive and judicial appropriation bill on account of provision increasing the hours of work for government day.
 In his veto message the president said since at the outset of the war he had called upon sll employers to see that there was no change in con ditions unfavorable to labor, he did not feel justified in assenting to a measure in which the United States itself makes such change.
 An effort to override the veto in the house was defeated 246 to 50.
