Wo- men and children all over Europe and in the countries of the near east are suffering from the lack of proper clothing Even if the people had the money with which to buy, there is no material to be made into the articles that mean protection and warmth and health.
 It is to supply in some means the crying needs in the line of relief, that Red Cross chapters now are summoned to a new knitting task. Fortunately, there is in stock con siderable quantity of yarn. originally intended for use in knitting garments for the soldiers. This yarn is to be made available as quickly as pos sible for the making of stockings, mufflers and sweaters for children who are innocent sufferers of war now ended, and shawls for women who have lost homes and loved ones everything except hope, which must be turned to courage in order to set the world going again.
 The immediate duty of the Red Cross on a peace basis is to supple ment the tremendous work of relief which the government will be com pelled to carry on. It rests largely with the chapter workers to let the rest of the world know that the heart of America still throbs for humanity.

Would Mean Disaster.

I have said, and | repeat, that, in
my judgment. It Is the view of all we'll
informed Americans In Europe that for
America to abandon the task now
to- despair. Befoso Germany laid
down her arms she almost succeeded
in wrecking the nations she attacked.
She has left her enemies victorious,
but exhausted, almost paralyzed In the
presence of the stupendous task of re-
construction. We, who came late, who
suffered relatively little, were still
strong, supplied the ono fixed basis
Of hope in a situation critical beyond
words to describe.
In this situation II Is too much to
expect that either France or Great
Britain, much less the little nations,
will be able to differentiate between
Mr., Wilson, president, and Mr.. Will
son, leader of the Democratic party.
1t is beyond the limits Of possibility
to expect that they will understand
our domestic and political conditions
ical conflict at home but a menace to
all their hopes for the future and a
threat OF population by America OF
the many obligations which we have
undertaken through the president of
the United States and have, through
him, clearly indicated our purpose to
carry on.
What opposition to the league of
nations In IT'S present form in America
means in Europe is, therefore, unmis-
taxable. Technical objections arising
out OF danger to the Monroe doctrine,
or interference with our immigration
laws, are unimportant to the European
mind. If 1t IL desired by America,
and asked, both will be excluded from
the operation of the league of nations.
Any concession or amendment win be
made, except one. No nations, big OF
little, will consent TO the withdrawal
of America from Europe willingly. II
the league OF nations and the idea OF
the league of nations collapse, the
elements of hope will be withdrawn
from the European situation and the

people who have the great task OF
reconstruction to undertake may yield
to despair, In sum, the simple fact
Is that Europe ha, accepted Mr.. Will
son as the spokesman of America. II
has welcomed him as no other public
man has ever been welcomed here be-
fore. He was the dslegf tie of that
America whose services were in the
minds and hearts of millions OF people.
1t has to an incredible extent rtsked
all its future hope upon Mr.. Wilson,
not as an individual, but as president
OF the United States; and II the coun-
try repudiates what Mr.. Wilson has
done here for domestic or political rea-
sons the tragedy will be st%upendous.
Europe has known no other American
1t has accepted his view because it
believed II to be the American view,
and today II stands literally aghast in
the presence of the possibility at least
suggested by fragmentary dispatches
that the real view Of America is some
thing entirely different from the presl-
have talked with many Republicans
who are here, all of whom see the sit
uation clearly, substantially, n have
presented 1t here. Without exception,
they recognize the greatness of the
duty in Europe; with no dissenting
voice they assert that to abandon the
league of nations, with its European
responsibilities, now will be little less
than the abandonment Of those who
died In Europe to establish American
ideals in the world. No country could
deserve the admiration America re-
ceives In Europe today and no country
could afford TO surrender that position
In the world which had been won for
It by devotion and achievement, by UNI
selfishness unparalleled in world his
tory, and to withdraw from Europe now
would be TO sacrifice what seems to be
the greatest opportunity for human ser
vice that has ever come to any single
people.
