PEACE TIME RED CROSS
FACES HUGE TASKS
War Task Not Finished-.P Public
Health Problems Must Be
Solved BY Red Cross

The American Red Cross, according
to a statement just issued from Wash
ington, D. c.. believes that its first
duty is to finish its war task, one hun
dred per cent. The Red Cross must
also continue to carry on even more
effectively than in the past, its estab-
lished system of National and Inter-
national relief, in mitigating the suf-
fering caused by famine, fire, floods.
and great national calamities. 1t must
also render every necessary service
to the Army and Navy, and must con-
tinue the work undertaken prior to
the war in the field of nursing and
First Aid.
The responsibilities of the Red
Of the lessons taught by the war. the
statement continues. Higher stand
ards of responsibility have been. set
to prevent needless suffering and loss
of life. The Red Cross, with its tradi-
tions and its established organization,
will aid in maintaining these stand
ards by cooperating with all recog-
nized agencies engaged in conserving
human life and happiness. Activities
already authorized include the en-
couragement and support of Public
Health Nursing, educational classes in
dietetics, home care of the sick, and
First Aid, the extension of Red Cross
Home Service, an increased Junior
program, and cooperation in develop
ing community health centers.
War time developments have given
every community in the United States
recognized and organized center of
Red Cross activity through which the
people of that community may, if they
wish, serve themselves, with all the
advantages of national leadership, ma
tional standards, national and inter
national contacts. 1t rests with the peO-
pie of every community to determine
for themselves just how fully they
have need of a movement which under
the associated Red Cross Societies is
to express the effort of the peoples
of the world to free themselves from
needless death and suffering through
neighborly cooperation and service.

serious, if possible. than the problems

hearty cooperation of every American
citizen is what is needed to help the
Red Cross to solve these problems.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
il only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube When this tube is
imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars

This remedy is intended especial
ly for coughs, colds, Group and

beginning its sale and use has ex-
tended to all parts of the United
States and many foreign countries.
This alone is enough to convince one
that it is medicine of more than
ordinary merit. Give 1t a trial and
you will find this to be the case.

ish men, women and children in
countries devastated by the war, will
get under way Wednesday morning.
Tomorrow at noon the formal cam
'paign will be launched at the Y. NJ. c..

luncheon to receive instructions.
Mrs. Harry Sternberger, of Cincin-
natl, sent here by the National COM

The campaign was commended by
Irving Kelsey before Indiana Yearly
Meeting, Sunday.
In the near east there are places
where as many as 1876 dead bodies
have been picked up in the morning
as the results of death from famine
during the preceding day and night,
according to Kelsey.

tional chairman, heartily commend
ed the campaign. He said:
"I am indeed glad to see the effort
being made by the American Jewish
Relief Committee for Sufferers from
the war to raise further funds for its
work in Europe. AS you know, your
organization has co-operated with us
wonderfully in relief work at the
most critical centers of Europe.

spirit and effectiveness of the Joint

COAL OPERATORS
SUBMIT ANSWER
TO CONFERENCE
CBy Associated Press)

BUFFALO,, N. Y, Sept. 29.-The
soft coal operators of the central COM
petitive field today submitted to the
joint conference of operators and
miners their reply to the demands OF
the men for a sixty per cent increase
in wages and shorter working hours.
Before the session opened there was
much speculation as to the attitude
the operators would take on what has
been called the most revolutionary de-
mands in the history of the industry,
involving an increase in pay from the
present standard of SIS a day to So a
day for approximately 100000 men.
The operators refused to discuss their
attitude before the opening of the ses-
sion or to discuss reports that their
reply would be a fat refusal to grant
the demands of the miners.
The first business before the con-
ference was resolutions on the death
of John Mitchell, former president of
the miners, and John P. Reece. an op-
orator, both of whom had been famil-
lar figures at previous joint confer
ences.

DANIEL G. REID
IS HONORED. BY
Cen. PERSH|NC
Former Richmond Man Pre-
sented With Flag for Serv-
ices In World War.

, Daniel G. Reid, formerly of, Rich
rand, and now one of the country's
leading flnanciers, was presented with
an American flag, in services in New
York, Saturday, by General Pershing
for distinguished service toward the
United States during the war. Gener-
al Pershing said in part:
1--WE are here to do honor to one of
New York's distinguished citizens.
During the war the patriotism of
Americans has been shown in many
ways. Never has there been in the his
tory of the country a more generous at
titude on the part of men who are in
position to bestow generosity.
"Of these Mr.. Reid stands pre-
eminent in your city for his generous
Acts, and while we know but few of
these they are sufficient for the people
of New York to recognize his gener-
osity by the presentation of this flag.
1T gives me great pleasure to repre-
sent the City Of New York and present
you, sir, with this flag"
Daniel G. Reid donated and built the
hospital on Gun Hill road that after
ward became base hospital No. 1.
Just as the ceremony was completed
a light rain began to fall and when the
orchestra had played "The Star Span
gled Banner" Gen. Pershing and his
staff hurried back to their automobiles
and the crowd broke up.
The Mall was decorated for the oc-
casion and an American flag in electric
lights was a feature of the ilIumina-
ton.
Reid's Contributions Many.
Any attempt to make a complete
story Of the aid and assistance which
have been given by Mr. Reid, to all
the agencies Of patriotic endeavor is
| foredoomed to failure. In the begin,
ming he would be the first to decry
the effort to catalogue the incidents
and he would be quite apt to be
trusque about it. In the next place
those about him are similarly uncom
municative and do not make it easy to
| dig up facts.
There are two simple instances at
| hand, however, and from them much
may be judged of the while. To char
acteristic, abundant liberality he adds
an instinct for timeliness and a quail
| ity of sentiment which multiplies the
value of what he does.
| The most conspicuous instance o1
Mr.. Reid's generosity as well as the
timeliness of his action is furnished il
the matter of the Columbia University
hospital unit. This is so much apprec
lated by all those who know the facts
that they were readily available fol
this notice.

NEW YORK, Sept % President

ed States sugar equalization board, it
was learned today. that in it's opinion
it is too late to consider a continual

Already 100000 tons or one-quar-
ter of the new crop of Cuban sugar

equalization board purchased the en-
tire Cuban crop Of more than 100000
tons at 51a cents.

foreign demand and heavy domestic
requirements, the equalization board
stated, now are at liberty to enter the

Pan American Countries
Will Send Delegates to
Financial Conference
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-Almost
universal acceptance by the Pan-Amer-
lean governments Of the invitation ex-
tended by President Wilson to send
their ministers Of finance and other
delegates to the second Pan-American
financial conference here, next JAN
usry II to II, was announced today by
Secretary Glass.
Delay by a few countries in accept
ing was said to be due to the fact that
it was not yet certain whether their
ministers Of finance would be able to
leave at that time, many national con-
crosses being in session then. 1t is
expected confidently that all the 81 re-
publics will be represented.
Mr.. Glass will invite financial and
industrial leaders of the United States
to participate in the deliberations and
TO serve on conference committees.
