And get The Leader for year.

RED CROSS union
GIVEN APPROVAL
President Sends Letter of Con-
graduation to H. P. Dawson
for His Success.
SEVERAL NATIONS JOIN
Wilson Declares Unity of Purpose Is
Inspired by Same Idea That Moved
Formation of the Proposed
League of Nations.

Paris, May 14.-President Wilson, in
worked out the Red Cross plans, de-
clares the League of Red Cross socie-
ties of the world, formed to unite relief
efforts, is inspired by the same pur-
pose that moved the formation of the
league of nations. The letter reads:
Permit me to congratulate you and
your associates representing the Red
Cross societies of the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
upon the formation of a League of
Red Cross societies designed to unite
the Red Cross societies of the world
in active cooperation against the
miseries which arise from disease and
disaster. I know that formation of the
league marks the achievement of a
plan cherished by you for many
months, plan with which l had an
instructive sympathy when you breach
velopment of Red Cross usefulness and
because saw in it kindred purpose
to that which inspired us with the
league of nations-a purpose to draw
all people into concerted action for the
welfare of the world. "
Although the Red Cross league has
no formal utilization with the league
of nations, it is so obviously conceived
in the spirit of the league that we in
corporated its purposes in an article
of the covenant. l know that both
your committee and the international
committee of the Red Cross purpose
an organized union as soon as the tenn
per of the world will permit. -.'
Il wish all speed to that consum-
nation, both for the proportion of Red
Cross activity and the prompt at
tainment of the time when peace and
good will shall be written in mems
hearts as plainly as it is now being
written in their covenants.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
(Signed Woodrow Wilson"

Y LOAN IS A SUCCESS
Liberty Bonds Are Bought by
100000 Americans.
This Compares With About Twenty
one Million Purchasers of the
Fourth Issue.

Washington, May 13.-Fifteen mill
lion Americans bought Victory Liberty
Notes in the campaign which closed
Saturday night, according to estimates
This compares with about 21,000,000
purchasers in the Fourth Loan, H..
100000 in the Third, 100000 in the
Second and 100000 in the First.
No attempt was made to tabulate
additional reports of subscriptions.
The treasury announced that the off,
cial total probably would not be known
before May 26. The total as compiled
still stood at S3,S49,000,000 but late
reports emphasized the earlier indica-
over-subscribed.
Federal Reserve districts commit
tees estimated the number of subscrib-
ers in their territories as follows
Minneapolis, 100000; Chicago, l.
100000; Cleveland, 100000; Boston,
100000; Philadelphia, 100000; San
Francisco, 100000; Kansas City, 906,-
900. The other districts could not es-
innate accurately their subscribers.
Unofficial advices from the Atlanta,
San Francisco and Dallas districts, all
of which had Jagged, indicated that all
probably reached their quotas.
In New England 9O4 cities and
towns had achieved their quotas be-
fore the closing hour.
The Chicago district estimates it's to-
tai at more than 1854 900, of which
the city of Chicago subscribed about
$240,000,000. That part of Wisconsin
in the Chicago district subscribed
$S3,O0O,00O.

MAKES GERMANY
ENORMOUS JAIL
Chancellor Denounces Peace
Document as Dreadful and
MurderOuS."
REMARKS ARE CHEERED
Philip Schedemann Charges Decep-
ton on the Part of President Viii
son and His Abrogation of His
Promised Fourteen Points.

Berlin, May 14.-The German chan
cellor, Philip Scheidemann, has fol-
lowed the lead taken by President
Ebert.
In a statement to the national as
sembly, couched in language more
forcible than that of Ebert, Scheide-
mann asserted that the peace terms
are not acceptable to Germany.
Cheering from all the factions in the
chamber, excepting from the benches
of the Independent Socialists, greeted
the chancellor as he characterized the
treaty as dreadful and murderous"
document which would make an enor-
nous Jail of Germany in which Co.
100000 peoples would have to labor
for the victors in the war. The speaker
charged deception on the part of Presi-
dent Wilson and the abrogation of his
promised IA points.
1t is reported that Scheidemann has
been informed by the leaders of the
two democratic parties and of the
parties of the Center that these fac
tons will withdraw their representa-
tives from the government if the peace
treaty is signed.
Meantime the German plenipoten-
tiaries at Versailles are continuing
their work of assimilating the terms
of the treaty and formulating such
protests as they desire to make, while
others of the delegation are in Berlin,
discussing prospects with the govern
ment Still another German note

French foreign Office.
Hungarians Are Encouraged.
Vienna, May 14.-Reports from
Budapest say that the condition of the
Hungarian Communist government ap-
pears to have grown stronger in the

has encouraged the Communists who

more than they were able to accom-
plish if their intention was to reach
Budapest. Official announcement has
been made that the Allied troops NOV
ing on Budapest were ordered last
week to halt their advance by the
Peace Conference.

us not INCLUDED.
Omitted From Proposed Agree
ment to Keep France Free
From Aggression.
FRENCH ARE AROUSED
People Are in No Mood to Listen to
Protests From Germany Against
Peace Terms and Suggestions
for League of Nations.

Paris, May 14-Considerable COM
ment has arisen over the fact that
Italy is not included in the proposed
treaty between the United States,
Great Britain and France for mutual
action against Germany should Ger
many again become aggressive toward
France.
1t is said that Premier Orlando was
ready to bring Italy into the agree
ment and that he took part in some OF
the early discussions, although the
plans were consummated about the
time of the high tension which re-
moved Premier Orlando from active
participation in the Council of Four.
Because of Italy's membership in
the former triple alliance, it is held
in some French quarters, it was a SER
ious omission not to include Italy in
the new FTanco-American-Br en-
gagement. ..-..
France Sees German Bluff.
France is not in a mood to listen TO
Germany just now, The Journal Des
Debats says in concluding an article
on the manifestations against the peace
treaty by the German government and
the German press. .
The president of Germany" the
editorial says, protests against the
peace terms and declares them impos
sible of acceptance This attitude will
be lost on us. The Germans, as usual,
will yield only to force. During the
time allowed them to make up their
minds, they will try to persuade us to
basis.
1T is comical, indeed, to see at a
time like this the Germans seriously
proposing to us a version of the
league of nations and plans for the
reconstruction of Europe. They should

Strasbourg, May IA. - Industrial,
commercial and political leaders in
Strasbourg and Alsace are favorably
impressed with the peace terms inso-
far as they concern the return of Al

pecially with regard to Kehl, across

that Strasbourg will be ruined as a
