WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
In the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re-
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap-
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There"
Following are a few excerpts taken
at random from letters inclosing
Christmas Package Coupons:
Dear Mr.. Miss or Mrs. Red Cross.-I
would appreciate 1t tremendously II you
would send me Xmas package l have
no relatives, and little something from
the good old U. s. A. would be appreci-
ated beyond words The Red Cross has
done so much for us over here, and you
don't know just how we appreciate it
beyond everything else."
An Italian thus addresses his Christ
mas appeal:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern.-I am in
service in France and, having no people
in the United States, would like to reA
ceive little package from the Red Cross
on Xmas. | am in No Mans Land in
big woods, and it is raining"
Il have been Informed the Red Cross
will send Xmas packages to any soldier
who sends them his Xmas package cou-
pom. l have received SO much tobacco
and other things from the Red Cross in
my fourteen months in France l scarcely
like to write again. l am in the hospital
recovering from wounds, and the Red
Cross furnishes us with daily papers,
writing material, tobacco, fruits and rec
reation."
IT have no one else to send my Xmas
coupon to, SO am sending it to you, as
per notice on our bulletin board II you
send a package would appreciate it Ii
you would inclose Q bill for same, for I
would gladly pay 1t. I don't want to i'm
pose on you. The Red Cross is the best
friend we have"
One Red Cross nurse writes:
Am inclosing the coupon, but please
be sure all the boys at the front get
their packages first, then IL one is left 1,
will appreciate 1t, as I suspect all the,
others will have something from home
which will make me q little lonesome.
Words cannot express our appreciation
for the Red Cross"

blessing to the soldiers any and every

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN The FAR EAST.
Bring Food and Supplies to
Czecho -SIovakS in
Siberia.

/" HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part Of
Russia surrounding Vladivos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted In saving thousands Of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho- Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho- Slovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded Czecho-Slovak soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the pro-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west of Hardin, was pitiable. A
ma jority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded Czecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolsheviki-German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention OF
the American Red Cross. TIE relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.
On authorization of the American
Red Cross, DR.. r. B. Teusler, head Of

beginning September 1, 1917, he spoke
109 times for Uncle Sam. In the Sew
enth federal district, comprising Illi-
nois, Wisconsin and Iowa, he had the
distinction of addressing more audi
ences and greater number of people
than any other public speaker. From
the first of March until the opening of
the present Chautauqua season, he
was kept busy speaking in the inter-
ests of the third Liberty loan.
"Adam Going to School, will be the
subject of his address. 1t is stirring
address, setting forth the evil of de-
structive thought against the power of
constructive thought, as shown by the
"kultur" of Germany and the Ameri-
canism of Lincoln. Striking illustra-
lions throughout add to the intense In

ism, is to miss one of the most valu.

PROF.. HILTON IRA JONES.

Dr. Hilton l. Jone+- brings to the
Lyceum rare combination of talents
AS a scientist he has gained place
of recognized standing among the men
of his profession and has been hen
ored at home and abroad.
He is a Fellow of the Academy OF
Science, of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, Eel

a member of many learned societies
in this country and abroad and re-
search worker of marked ability
whose articles have frequently ap-
peared in the great scientific publica-
lions of the world.
In spite of all these attainments
and unlike many of our great scien-

complex scientific subjects in terms
that make them readily understood by
the average popular audience.

l,yceum Course for This
Season Fully Outlined.
AN INSPIRATION IN war time
Entertainment Of the Lyceum
Platform Has Vital Place In
Keeping Up the Spirit
of Our People.

!, The local auspices of the Lyceum
course for the season Of 1018-1o have
secured some splendid talent which
will i've. offered to our people at popular
prices.
More and more as the days go by,
the importance of the Chautauqua and
Lyceum in times of war becomes ap-
parent. 1t Is not only a question Of
the great Service which these institu-
lions render in connection with the
work Of the Red Cross, the Liberty
loan, the Snileage campaign for the
entertaining Of our soldiers, and the
creation of public opinion as part Of
our national defense, but many people
are also coming to an appreciation of
the fact that it is important that our
people at home keep in good spirits in
so far as possible If they are to do
their best work and accomplish the
great tasks of this hour. O
The entertainment and especially
the inspiration for which the Lyceum
and ChautauQua platform is noted,
have a most vital place In keeping up
the spirits of our people. 1t is a mis-
take to think that our best work can
be accomplished amid gloom. Indeed,
gloom should be dispelled just as much
as possible. Our soldier boys at the
front go at their gigantic tasks with
smile. We should go oout our tasks
n the same way.
The attractions on this seasons
Lyceum course here may be briefly de-
,orihpd nc fellows.

THE CLIMAX TO VICTORY.

During the week before Christmas
the entire American people will have
the privilege of answering the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call. The re-
Spouse should roar through the land
with unanimity that will stimulate
to the uttermost the hopes of men in
all parts of the earth. 1t will there
fore be the climax Of American ideal
ism and will usher in Christmas with
Red Cross membership approximate
ing the census figures. What the Red
Cross wants is the approval Of the
American people of the Red Cross pol
Icy, and such approval will have the
highest significance in the eyes of suf-
fering people everywhere. President
Wilson leads the response and passes
along the message, II summon you to

tor of scientific phenomena. The DEM
onstrations accompany his lecture as
music accompanies the singer. AS
public speaker he upholds the best
traditions of the Lyceum and is a man
whose addresses are fascinating with
out the use of the scientific apparatus.
His appeal is to people of all ages
The little folks In the front rows never
bother the audience or the speaker
during DR.. Jones' lecture. They are
fascinated by the wonders displayed
by this man of science and the lecture,
and demonstration hold their atten-
ton as close as the movies" They
flock to the platform at the close Of
the address and deluge the scientist
with flood of eager intelligent ques-
tions
The skeptic is disarmed and
troubling doubts leave the mind of the
believer as this man of science shows
that there never has been a conflict
between true science and true religion.
The faith of all Is renewed and
strengthened as they are shown how
the. basic laws of science conform to-
the basic principles Of true religion.
His lecture has come to be regarded
as one of the most helpful, entertain
ing and educational addresses which
the platform has produced In recent
ye2Ts.

DISSATISFACTION
March to Minnesota Capitol
to Demonstrate Against
Motor Corps Bill.

st. Paul. Minn., Feb. 11.-There
was orat6ry on every floor OF the
state capitol today, and members OF
the Minnesota legislature did only a
minute partxof the talking. +.
The senate was in regular session
and the house held an advance cele-
bration of Lincoln's birthday Inter-
est, however, was centered upon the
activities of more than two thousand
union men from the;sTwin Cities who
marched to the capitol to protest
against the passage Of a bill to or
Eanize, state motor corps, to be used
to suppress disorders arising from
strikes or other trouble
Some of the labor men voiced dis
satisfaction when it was announced
that q hearing on the bill had been
postponed until Thursday. The
crowd split up Into small groups and
nearly every group was addressed In
the capitol corridors by a labor lead
er. Some of the visitors informally
discussed the bill with members OF
the state senate, as the; senator's
passed through the crowd on their
way to attend the forenoon session.
Speaker Nv. I. Nolan, Of the house,
delivered an address eulogizing the
memory and the achievements of
Abraham Lincoln. Neither house
will be in session tomorrow, Lincoln's
birthday. {,
A few bills Of pninor nature were
introduced TODAY, AZ,
