cused him Of usurping the powers Of
the President by calling meetings Of
the cabinet during Mr.. Wilson'S i'll
ness. Mr.. Lansing denied that he had
sought or intended to usurp the presi-
dental authority. He added. how
ever, that he believed then and still
believed that the cabinet conferences

public" that they were proper and
necessary because OF the Presidents
condition and that he would have been
derelict In his duty II he had failed
to act M he did. As the record stands
Mr.. Lansing rendered his resignation
nnd Mr. Wilson accepted 1t. The res
ixnstion was offered. however. only
after the President had written asking
II 1t were true that Mr. lansing had
called cabinet meetings and stating
that II such were the case he felt 1t
necessary to say that under our con-
stitutional law and practice. as devel-
0psd hitherto, no one but the Presl-
dent has the right to summon. the
heads OF the executive departments
into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered. saying he
had called the cabinet conferences he

the fact that we were denied cOnhnu-
nication with you. It was wise for us
to confer Informally together on mat

The secretary concluded by saying
that II the President believed he had
failed In his loyalty" to him ana II
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
In him. he was ready to "relieve you
Of any embarrassment by plncinx my
resignation In your hands"
The President replied last Wednes-
day that he was much disappointed"
by Mr.. IansinE's letter regarding the
so.cRiled cabinet meetings" He said
he found nothing In the secretary's
letter (which Justified your nssump-
ton Of presidential authority in such

armistice a new field opened up in
which desperate need for the efforts
of the association was disclosed. This

organization and its aim never to deny

JUNIOR RED CROSS
DOING FINE WORK

What is the Junior Red Cross, with
its 100000 school children enrolled,
really doing to justify its continued
existence after the war? The answer
is found in "Civic Training Through
Service" by Arthur William Dunn,
just issued as Teachers LeaIlet," be-
cause 1t will give parents the best pos
sible idea for some of the things to
look for in modern school.
Doing things, and doing them with
the inspiration of service-thats the
Junior Red Cross way. It's the best
answer yet found to the mere "thr Q
R" stuff of the old-fashioned sort most
American schools still try to get away
with. Lots Of schools will put in sew
ing for girls and handwork Of various
Red Cross when they wouldn't dare
spoil the fair tradition of the school
by putting these things in with the
regular subjects.
Here are some of the activities OF
the school children under the Junior
Red Cross: Making garments for
needy children at home and abroad;
toys for the children of devastated
regions of Europe; equipment for Fed
eral Public Health Service hospitals;
gardening, providing comforts for the
sick; making simple playground equip
ment, etc.
Note that they actually do these
things instead of talking about them.
The Junior Red Cross has the concep-
ton America needs so badly today
that the way to be citizen is to
work and do your share, not talk about
how the other fellow doesn't do his
part The Junior Red Cross holds that
the only right method of training cit
liens is to train them while they're
citizens in school through Service

by the Gulf Division. Relatives living
in Louisiana originated the request for
aid. This man was on a motor tour of
the United States, which was to end
in Winnipeg. 1t Is thought that an
old injury to his head, received in a
fall from an airplane, may have affect,
ed his mind, and insane hospitals are
being searched for him.
Or again, it may be plain case OF
desertion of his family. He may have
had an accident on the road which
sent him to a hospital. He was last

he visited relatives during the early
summer.

with the solutions Of the problems
they present, fill long rows of files in

THREE REASONS FOR
RED CROSS WORK

There Is much of va Jed and human
interest in the everyday work of the
American Red Cross. Three cases OF
aid to individuals or families in dis
tress, which are cited below, illustrate
this statement. These three cases
are recent ones taken from the files OF
the Gulf Division office, New Orleans,
La.
One story is that Of mother with
four children, the youngest a baby
only two weeks old, the mother insane,
without any means of support except
begging for aims, found sleeping in a
railway station. She had no home.
The little family wandered into a
small town in Mississippi the other
day. A Salvation Army man found
them and took up a collection for them
on street corner. The mother named
a town where she lived and she was
given a ticket to that Ilace and $500
But three days later she returned to
the town where she was first found,
with only $23.00 left. She fed hersel.
and the children on canned foods which
she purchased with money gained by
begging. The baby was nearly dead
the other children and the mother par
TALLY starved. Their filth and dirt
was unspeakable.
The Salvation Army man sent the
family to the Red Cross. This organi,
zation found the mother work. sent the
three older children to home, and the
baby was placed in a private family.
All went we'll for about a week, but
then the mother took her baby from
the home in which it had been placed
and went to the other institution de,
manding her three older children. She
exposed the baby on this trip so that
it had to be sent to child hospital
for three weeks. The mother was then
committed to an insane asylum, where
she is being detained until home can
be found which will take her in. The
children are all being properly cared
for now, and the begging career Of the
mother Is ended.
For an unknown length Of time this
small family wandered over the coun'
try, a burden in whatever community
they happened to be. Now they have
been placed in state institutions, where
the children have a chance to live hap
by lives, well-fed and well-clothed at
last.
The story Of the location Of the par
ents of a man who committed suicide
In New Orleans, although they lived
in a foreign country, is taken from
another file. Through the Red Cross
the father and mother were located in
Czeko-Slovakia, and advised Of the
death of their son. They appointed the
Red Cross executor of their sons es-
tate, and his property, which he willed
to members of his family living in va.
rious parts of the world, has been sent
to his heirs.

disappeared is now being searched for
