RED CROSS NOTES

During the past two weeks there has
been a great rush Of applications at the
information desk of the local home SER
vice section, American Red Cross, lac
Court avenue, for information and as
sistance in applying for the bonus OF
$50 granted to enlisted men who have
been discharged since April, 1917. The
registrar keeps on hand a supply of
form letters which can be filled in
quickly. She also makes copies of the
discharge papers and advises men to
rave their letters inclosing the dis
charge papers registered.
The division office of the American
Red Cross at Atlanta advises that $780,
900 bonus checks have already been
drawn and that they will be mailed to
the men at the rate of between 10, 900
and 10000 each day, in the order in
which they are received in Washington.
On account of the great amount of labor
involved in this procedure, applicants
are urged to be patient.
1t Is of the utmost Importance in maxi
ing applications that the mans present
address be given. Many are not
doing this, 1t is suggested that the
applicants address be written in pencil
In the upper left-hand corner to avoid
loss Of the discharge paper, in case it
should become separated from the APP
plication,
The home service section will be glad
to assist in the making of these appli-
cations. Those of marines and sailors
go to a different address from those of
soldiers,
The home service office, LAG Court
avenue, desires to locate Thomas Il.
Mcdonald, a discharged soldier, who is
supposed 10 be visiting his brother, Jas,
Mcdonald, of Memphis. The office has
not been able to find the latter. Either
one Is asked to call or communicate
with the Red Cross,
The McDonalds have a sister, Mrs,
p. C. Cromer, who resides at 10 Rober-
son street, Montgomery, Ala, This in
formation is given in order that II
might better identify the brothers and
the family.
The office has been requested by the
bureau of wal risk insurance to locate
the following Memphians, whose address
as given is incorrect, hence they have
not been found by the bureau or the

New-York tribune., 1919-03-02
DR.. Mary Walker

TNHE death of Dr. Mary Z. Walker
has revived the interest Of the
H. public in an extraordinary per-
sonality-one that at intervals
during the past half century or so, and
in various capacities, attracted consid
cradle attention, but which in recent
years had been almost entirely lost
sight Of.
DR.. Walkers emancipated ideas in re
gard to sartorial matters, consistently
carried out by her constant appearance
in masculine attire, assisted, perhaps,
more than anything else in rendering
her famous.
Apart from that, however, DR.. Walk
er's many activities in other directions,
dating from the time she entered the
army during the Civil War as an assist
ant surgeon, serving for four years, her
poneership of the suffragist movement,
her efforts in combating tuberculosis
and various other reforms kept her al
most continually in the limelight "A
lmelight, however, that served more Of
ten than not to emphasize whatever Pc
culiaritiea she possessed, throwing into
the shade, in the opinion of many, the
deeds of service which she had rendered
the country.
As characteristic of the unusual will
power and tenacity of purpose possessed
by this remarkable woman, it is inter
esting to recall that just seven years
ago, when seriously i'll and her condition
considered as critical, she issued state
ment declaring to the public that she
"was not dead YETI and that the news
papers "had better not waste any time
writing an obituary now"
Her phenomenal versatility Is illus
trated by the following comment:
"'The Philadelphia Inquirer" comments
as follows;
CDR. Mary Walker was woman Of real
ability. who did IN her timo u useful work
Yet. by one of 1ife's little ironcs,' public
which had welnigh forgotten her will
chiefly recall. now that she Ia dead, tho
fact that she persisted in wearing mems
clothes. Her appearances in this uncon-
ventional garb provoked severe criticism
from both sexes and not infrcqucntly led
scandalized mobs to threaten her with vio-
cncc. In these days ths objection to the
appearance of woman in silk hat, frock
coat and trousers would be rather on the
score of unbccomingness than of mpro-
pricty. Uniforms and overalls, to say moth
ing Of short skirts, have convinced us that
woman is n biped. Dr. Walker was tho
first to obtain legal recognition of this
physical truth. Congress passed a special
law to enable her to dress as she liked.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-02

demanding physical activity is modelled
after that of men. The yeomen CD. the
overalled munitions girls the British Wrens
Waacs and Wrafs, the various ambulance
and motor corps services, the land army
girls, with their smocks and breeches, all
follow in spirit the precedent of DR.. Walker.
while many follow it even in garb."
"The Detroit Free Press" renarss.
"Dr. Walker was commissioned officer
in the medical department of the Federal
army throughout the Civil War. She was
rated as man by the confederacy. Con-
gress gave her bronze medal and a. everv
one knows, by special act, accorded her the
right to wear pants as the doctor herself
always called them. Such was the back
ground for her life work for dress reform
and suffrage
Both in the matter of dress reform and
in the matter of suffrage, Dr. Walker seems
to have understood that success depended
much more on the women than on the men
Her remark that women will get suffrage
Just as soon as they stop making fools of
themselves was quite characteristic. Dr.
Walker never would have been sulFragette.
She never would have picketed the White
House nar would she have built bonfires of
the Presidents speeches on the White House
lawn. She would have known too much to
do anything of that sort. She understood
men better than that, perhaps because there
was much of the masculine about her out
look on life"
Says 1.-The Utica Press:
"She worked for the popular election of
United States senators, and she was nar-
ticularly interested in the fight against
tuberculosis. 1t was her ardent wish to
have canatorium established at her home.
where the disease might be combated ac
cordlng to her theories. Though frail in
physique she possessed remarkable energy
and mental vitality and gave herself unre-
servediy to whatever she advocated. She
was an altogether unusual character"
"The New York Times:
DR. Walker WIS not only one of the frst
auHragiats in the country, but also one Of
the first women reporters, having worked on
New York City daily directly after the
war. Soon tiring Of reportorisl work, she
returned to Washington, whero sho re-
mained familiar and picturesque figure for
more than twenty years Her activities
there were not confined to her support Of
the various women's rights measures that
she was advocating, but she was a strong
fighter for the popular election of United
States Senators and other reform measures.
Much OF her life was spent in fighting for
feminine dress reform. She frequently
claimed to have been the first American
woman to attempt to cast ballot in legal
election. Her livelihood was earned during
ali these years by her private medical prac-
tice and by writing, which were supple
mented by an army pension"

Greensboro were less conservative in
their comments on the Republican gath
ering than Mr.. Hays. The Greensboro
Daily Record Of February ), in an edi-
toral captioned Time Was" comments
as follows:
"Tme was when the Republican party in
the South was held up as the refuse of all
creation. The war and the reconstruction
period left bitter memories and to be known
as a radical was to be communicated.
Time when the Democrats had nothing
30 fear from the Republican party except
the negro vote-and finally it put that out
of the way and dominated.
'Thc machine in politics in North Caro-
lima became high-handed arrogant and inso-
lent-and the Republican party watched its
chance and saw that dissension was abroad,
and by fusion with the Democrats dissatis-
fed, calling themselves Popuhsts, cleaned
out the machine. Russell was made Gov
ernor, Pritchard and Butler went to the
United States Senate-and the impregnable
walls of Democracy crumbled as the Hin
denburg line dissolved before the attacks of
the Allies
But then there was another appeal to
New-York tribune., 1919-03-02
Absentees

When it was noised abroad that
Democrats were to be voted as absent
ees, even if they were in the county on
election day, the Republicans consulted
one of their state leaders, Judge Will
iamsB B. Bynum, inquiring whether they
might legally adopt the same plan.
Judge Bynum advised that they could
not. He said he could not see how a
man in the county could cast legal
vote under that law He himself was
a candidate on the Republican ticket,
but he put the law above any possible
benefit to himself. The Republicans
charge that if Senators Simmons and
Overman have their way the Demo-
cratic state chairman will be appointed
Federal district attorney, and as such
the indictments obtained by the Re-
publcans for election violations would
come under his jurisdiction. They say
that in such circumstances Mr.. Warren
would recommend the dismissal Of the in
dictments, and that all prosecutions for
election irregularities would be aban-
doned.
During the progress Of the campaign
tho Republicans discovered that Chair
man Warren, Of the Democratic State
Committee, was busy corrallinc the
absentee voters. They captured one of
his letters to an agent in Washington
urging attention to this matter. A let
ter purporting to be signed by Warren
says:
There ia some question as to whether
this can be done, but in my judgment, IL
will be all right, and will certainly meet
the spirit of the law. We cannot afford TO
take any chances, and hope that YOU will
make arrangements to get the vote of
every sick man in your county who will
not be able to be out on Election Dav
There is need of making this matter
public, or discussing it with the Repub-
licans."
New-York tribune., 1919-03-02

Democracy; the same machine worked its
cards, and for long time North Carolina
has been Democratic. Perhaps it will be
Democratic for many years; but the ma
chine has lost several cogs in its drive
wheel the past week. in its blunder on
woman suffrage. And now comes the Re-
publican party to Greensboro to-day-a
representative gathering Of business and
professional men, declaring they arc in
earnest against election frauds and assert
ing they are organized to render real SER
vice to the people.
"Nineteen twenty will be a great year in
politics. The Republican party will be
united. Roosevelt has passed from the
scene of action and his personality will
no longer be felt; therefore it follows that
no faction eXists-a solid party will line
up with the intention of taking from De-
mocracy the control of the government.
This meeting here to-day shows beyond any
doubt that the Republicans are in earnest
that they are preparing for battle-and pro-
pose to battle to the finish. This meeting
should be a notice to North Carolina De-
mocracy that it must get busy-and it must
get together. While it is not freely adver-

Protection

The Greensboro Daily News of Feb
ruary Is says in part:
"The Republicans in their gathering in
Greensboro yesterday appeal for protected
ballot for the primary and the election
The appeal is to the moral sense of the
state and to the general assembly through
that moral sense. Moreover they came here
to make moral drive for a fair election
law, and their eloquent and logical state
chairman stated their contention thus: 1t

thority that the primary law is defective
and should be purified. Mr.. Linney con-
tended that the primary law is of piece

campaign by the Republicans to break

The battle leaders in the campaign
last fall, when Representatives and a
state ticket were elected, were Thomas
u. Warren, chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, and Judge
William B. Bynum, of Greensboro.
The Republicans assert that in an
honest election, with every one getting
a square deal, they can carry the state
as thousands of independent Democrats
are dlsgusted with the arrogant and
envious methods Of the Simmons-B Beckett
machine. Last fall, Bickett-Demo-
cratic candidate for Govcrnor-was
elected over Linney, Republican, by
vote of ,761 to 12C,157.
The Republicans charge the Demo-
Gratis with gross frauds at the last
election, and in various counties in the
state they have caused the indictment
of men charged with the violation of
the election laws.
The situation is aggravated by the
fact that Chairman Warren is a candi-
date for United States District Attor-
ney, and the Republicans assert that if
he is appointed by the Wilson admins

of affidavits setting forth in detail the
frauds perpetrated by the Democrats at

alleged frauds formed the main grounds
for the mass meeting protest and the
