Repor. of Nursing Activitie.

One hundred and eighty-flve stu dents enrolled in Lee county to. take the course of 15 chapters in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick given by the American Red Cross, with Miss Elizabeth Finley, a Red Cross nurse (who had seen 12 months service overseas) as instructor. Miss Finley came to Marianna at the ex- pense of the Lee County chapter on March 25 and completed her work on July 3. All the students who took the course showed a very great interest in the work and many of them were so pleased they express ed themselves as being pleased to the amount of many hundreds of
 dollars worth of good they had de-
 rived from just few of the lessons.
 All those taking the course have
 been taught thoroughly simplified
 method by which they may be able
 to- properly care for the sick in
 their own homes and to follow the
 instructions given by the attend
 ing physician. The classes at Moro
 and Rondo finished the course and
 took the final examination on Fri
 day of last week. At the close of
 the examination at Rondo the ladies
 had quite a surprise in store for
 Miss Finley and Mrs. J. I. Morris,
 chairman of activities. When the
 doors of the domestic science room
 of the Rondo high school were thrown open, the ladies were invit- ed to enter where all enjoyed the most delicious refreshments, con
 sisting fruits, ice cream, four kinds of cake, coca-cola, orange crush and lemonade. After refreshments had been served, call for order was sounded. Mrs. Haley came for ward and in a most beautiful and eloquent address, presented Miss Finley with beautiful ivory mani cure set as token of appreciation of the ladies of the class. Miss Finley was very much loved by all who came in contact with her. Her kind and getle manner, her desire to serve humanity, endeared her to the hearts of the members of all ner classes, as we'll as others.
 Miss Finley was loud in her praise of the officers of the Lee County chapter and stateed it had lone more to induce students to enter the course in home hygiene han any place she had given in- ,tructions. The officers of the Lee County charpter wished to show heir appreciation for the liberal
 they were given by the peo- ,le of Lee county whenever a call vent out, and especially to the wo- nen who made it possible to have his course in home hygiene in Ma 'ianna and Lee county at the ex- ,ense of the chapter. They also

Home service of the American Red Cross is increasing rather than decreasing. Aiding delivery of Lib erty Bonds. Twelve hundred and thirteen Liberty Bonds subscribed for by soldiers and sailors while in service, were delivered to their owners during April and May thru the efforts of the Red Cross. Dur ing the same period 1,011 additional service men asked Red Cross help in obtaining their bonds. The sys- tenn of cooperation which exists between the war department and the Red Cross is the means in thou sands of cases of expediting the de- livery of bonds which have been delayed for months. The war-de- veloped responsibility of the Red Cross has brought it in close touch with service men and their families, making it possible for valuable as sistance to be given in straighten- ing out the tangles incident to non delivery.
 The home service department of the Lee County chapter has handled 231 cases during the month of June.
 The services consisted of secur- ing affidavits, copies of divorces, copies of marriage certificates, rec ords and proofs of births to prove claims for ex-service men and their families, securing lost discharge pa- pers and bonus checks, Liberty Bonds that have been lost through the mails, proving claims of bene- ficiaries to War Risk Insurance, se- curing hospital and medical care for disabled ex-service men, making ar engagements for bodies of deceased soldiers who were killed in France, to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery; delayed allotments and allowances, appointing administra- tors, tracing up service men for relatives, converting and re-instat-

in plose proximity the coming fall. The quadrennial presidential cleo tion will be held on November End. A little more than a week later the anniversary of the armistice that brought the World War to an end the annual roll call of the Ameri- can Red Cross will have its begin ming. One of these events involves a contest between political parties for the control of the government {; the other makes the reaffirmation of allegiance by the American peo- pie to a cause that embraces no difference of opinion.
 In the days when the American Red Cross numbered a few hun dred thousand members it might have seemed preposterous to link the registration of those composing the society and a national election with respect to importance. But to- day the American Red Cross is an American institution in the fullest sense of the term. The war has brought new issues into our politi- cal life, and by the same token the American Red Cross on lines wholly non-political as we'll as non-religious and non-racial, has been wrought into an organization in which all American have a pride and col lective interest regardless of the controversies and views that divide them in other matters. Eighteen and half million people participat- ed in the last presidential election in 1916. More than ten million Americans are today members of the Red Cross, banded together to make their country healthier and safer, as we'll as to give relief in time of disaster, which was the former limit of peace-time activity. Therefore, from the standpoint of numbers, the Red Cross organization and the Red Cross cause are com parable in importance with the pol itical issues and the organizations of the people on political lines.
 This comparison certainly should appeal to the active Red Cross work CTS who will conduct the fourth roll call During the next few months politics will engage the at tention of the people. The cam paign will be heated and perhaps bitter. But after the candidates and the issues have been weighed and the choice made, all will still be Americans, united behind their government-that is the way of American politics. Then let us Red Cross workers put ourselves to the task for which we should all be preparing for in advance of regis tering in the calender days of later November mightier army than even now exists to speed the good that is of non-political accomplish ment and there is no logical reason why the Red Cross membership should not approximate the voting strength of the nation.

Cognac for " edding
Causes Arrest of Two
Longshoreman Who Purchased
1t Held in $3.50 Bond on
COMPLAINT of SbeyIin

Seven bottles of real cognac, pur-
chased by Pol Maresek, a longshore-
man, to impart the proper tang to his
wedding ceremonies next Friday, were
tagged yesterday and consigned to
musty corner In the vaults at the
Custom House by James S. Shevlin,
Federal Prohibition Enforcement Di-
rector. Maresek was placed under $3.50
bond.
The cognac was brought to New
York by Fireman Augustin Cruz, of the
Spanish steamship C. Lopez Lopez,
at Pier 8. in the East River, and was
sold, according to Assistant United
States District Attorney Mildeberger,
for S31 for the entire lot. Cruz was
arrested after he had delivered the
liquor to Maresek.
Herman and Henry Johassen were
arrested yesterday for attempting to
transport fifty gallons of alcohol from

British VierUs on
Wilson Message
Press Sees abandonment
OF armenia to Foes if
4. s. Declines Mandate

NLONDON, May President Will
son has presented a dramatic challenge
to Congress and his countrymen unon
the subject of their international du-
ties" says The Pail Mall Gazette"
dealing with the Armenian message.
He has asked for authority to accept
mandate for Armenia in the name Of
the United States, and the answer will
be fraught with moral consequences
Of the highest importance.
Great Britain has all the respon-
slbllItles she can carry. None of the
other European Powers are prepared
to take Armenia under their iurisdic-
ton. The league of nations, favored
by America in words but rejected in
act has no resources or capacity for
playing protector. If America refuses
the charge 1t means the abandonment
OF Armenia to enemies which sur
round her on every side. and probably
the eventual determination Of a race
already decimated by hideous cruelty.
1T is crucial decision which Con-
gress is invited to take. If its an
sWer is IN the negative it must reg
ister in sinister terms the value to be
placed upon Americas moral en-
thusiasms.'
The Westminster Gazette" the only
other London evening paper to com
ment editorially on the question, takes
somewhat the same line. 1t says re-
garding the possibility of America &C
cepting the mandate: at will be un-
wise to build too much upon the
chances, in view of the pronounced
hostility in the United States to any
entanglements in Europe or Asia. But
it is at least clear that the assumption
Of this task by America is the best
hope for the remnant CT unhappy Ar
menians.
The European allies are war-worn
and exhausted. The defense of Ar
menia will be difficult and expensive
military problem. Americas resources
are SO great that the burden will
weigh but lightly upon her We hope
that in the interests of humanity Con-
gress will give favorable consideration
to the Presidents appeal"
