CHANGE MADE IN
WELFARE INQUIRIES
To Be Handled by Adjutant General S
ofice-Red Gross Continues to Han
die Casualty Queries.

Information has been received at the
Brattleboro office of the Nindham Goun-
ty chapter. American Red Cross, from
the New England division, that straight
soldier welfare inquiries should be sent
direct to the Adjutant Generals Office,
War Department, Washington, d. C., in
stead of to the Red Cross as heretofore.
The Red Cross bureau of communication.
however, is still glad TO handle inquiries
in cases where there is doubt concerning
reports that man was wounded, in fact
all casualty eases.
The change in the source of informa-
tion regarding soldiers will it IS believed,
expedite the securing of such informa-
tion, as the work can now be done much
more quickly by the adiutant general :
office than by the Red Cross, the war de-
partment having recently instituted a
courier service between America and
France to secure this information.
Inquiries concerning the welfare of sol
diers in American eNpeditionary forces
who have not been heard from for some
time, have been received at the rate OF
1000 a day at the bureau of communica
tion at the national Red Cross headquar
tiers. 1t has been necessary to forward
all inquiries on cards to the Paris Office
but with the quick rehabilitation of the
army and rapid changes from place Il
place of different units it is almost impos
sible for the force i'll France to follow III
the inquiries satisfactorily.
! A supply of forms on which inquiries
should be made have been received at tht
Red Cross Headquarters here and person
wishing to make inquiry regarding thci
soldier relations, from whom they hav
mot heard for some time, should Obtain
one of these forms from their loca
:. branch, execute it properly and mail t

Bolsheyiki than she ever was under
the ear, the senate propaganda in

by Herman Bernstein, an American
writer, who spent some time in Rus
sia. He stated this new slavery act
ually was brought about by the Ger
mans. Truth the writer continued,
completely disarms the Bolshesiki.
The exposure of their methods is suf-
fcient to end it everywhere forever.

Russia" The witness said he knew
certain men sent TO this country from
Russia who had been IN the employ of
the Bolsheviki.
