RATlFY THE TREATY
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

For nearly five years we have
been facing such stupendous issues
that the average man and woman in
our country does"not realize the mag
nitude of the crSls which is nearly
upon US. VIII or will not the Senate,
Immediately on its receipt, ratify the
Peace Treaty, which not only includes
but is actually built upon the League
Of Nations? This sounds like q
simple question, but the progress,-
even the maintenance,-of our civil
ization depends upon the answer.
By this time 1t must be evident to
every thinking person that the Cove
nant of the League of Nations can
not be torn out Of the Peace Treaty;
and it must soon be realized, even by
those whose eyes are temporarily
blinded by political antagonisms, that
an attempt to amend the Covenant at
this iuncture is fraught with danger,
since the condition of many countries,
as result of hunger and of general
war upheaval, is so unstable that rev
olution may break out at almost any
moment if peace between the nations
Is not at once established.
The making now Of reservations is
dangerous to the establishment of the
League, because if the United States
either repudiates or stipulates for
special interpretations of certain arti-
cles Of the Covenant, other nations
will naturally wish to do the same.
with the result that this great Magma
Charta may become deyitalized and
Ineffective, il II can be established at
All.
Surely even though not perfect, the
Covenant represents a wonderful step
forward in the life Of the world
Therefore let us make sure that the
United States does her part by join
Ing the League Of Nations at the
earliest possible moment. To this
end let every man and woman write
70 our Senators at Washington, urging
hem to ratify the Peace Treaty in
,luding the Covenant, without amend
nents or reservations.

Tse Red Cross Seal--as millions OF
Am@icans know it 10 day, is an agent
Of happiness ana health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily r Bissell,
Of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Rlis of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose OF raising funds with
which to dght tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded The Amerl-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in a
limited number Of communities in
1908. The sale yielded revenue of
approximately $1,000 The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and It's affiliated societies for the pur-
pose Of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number Of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached ls0,00O0O0
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December /. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents In addition to he
seals Health Bonds" in denomina,
lions ranging from $5 90 to 10000
are 10 be sold In lieu Of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
tut sunfsient qgantifg Of mail hi
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganizatlons call for more than s6,5O0,.
600 to carry out the intensive educa.
tional campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents a practical demonstration
of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts of the highest standing In sales
management have co-operated to the
extent Of assuring those Interested
that every resident Of the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals.

ARC. Establish
Home Service

This week has been a rather strenu-
GUS one with the Red Cross. Mr.. r.
q. Winters, Travelling Accountant for
the Denver Headquarters, arrived Sum
day and audited the books of the Roy
Chapter. He expressed great satis-
faction at finding everything ship
shape, following an audit by the
Chapter Committee. He transferred
the balance in bank Of the Mosquero
Auxiliary to the Chapter Funds and
directed the same measure with the
Mills Branch, greatly simplifying and
reducing the work Of the Secretary,
lie is generous in his praise Of the
showing made by the Roy Chapter
and leaves with the esteem Of ali
who met him.
Concurrent with his visit was a
visit from Mrs. 7, M. Ruleau, Field
Superintendent, from Denver, who
came with number Of missions, chief
Of which was to present the need for
permanent Home Service Station here
and to put in operation.
Where Chapters have quit, as many
have, the funds on hand are all turned
in to the Denver Office when work
suspends. She found need here for
Field Work in looking after the needs,
claims and correspondence Of the Sol
der boys who have returned from the
war as well as need Of preparation
for Emergency Relief for the Civilians
and ample funds on hand to properly
carry on the work.
At a meeting Of members Of the
Executive Committee held Monday
evening, it was unanimously decided
to. carry on the Home Service work
ana Mrs. Grace V. Ogden was elected
to the Office of Secretary Of this Branch
of the work and will begin her duties
December list. She will have an Office
at the Red Cross Hall and be on duty
from 8 d. m. to p. m. daily except
Sunday, where she will attend to al
the matters for Soldiers which has
been dslEgated by the War Depart
ment to this branch of Red Cross
work, such as giving information, get
ting allowances and Insurance mat
ters adjusted, writing Letters to the
Dept. and numberless other services
for the men who have not facilities
for attending to them Civilian Relief
and the Gare of families of soldiers al
so come under this branch.
Mrs. Ruleau has all of New Mexico
under her supervision and is most
capable, efficient and strenuous woman.
All who have met her have enjoyed
her acquaintance and she is the right
person to handle this work in this
territory.
Mrs. Ogden will receive salary
for conducting this office which will
be quite strenuous, if not more so,
as the keeping of the books Of the
Chapter for the past three years
which she has done without remunera-
ton save the satisfaction of doing her
share for the Greatest cause in the
world.
The office will be open at the Red
Cross room, Monday December /, and
all soldiers within the jurisdiction Of
this chapter are entitled to any SER
vice due them.
