1t is lamentable and shameful that
the United States is not in position
to help the Allies in the business Of
enforcing German obedience without
further delay. The German menace
is not dead; it is only sleeping, with
one eye open at that. watching to
take advantage of any weak spot in
the alliea armor. Amer
lean.
What is to hinder the United States
from giving the Allies any help that
we may wish to give? Officially we
are still at war with Germany, and
there is nothing to prevent US from
continuing the fight. except our own
desires The fact that we are not
giving the assistance that the Amer.
lean thinks we should give is evidence
that we do not think it advisable, and
thanks to the defeat of the Versailles
treaty we can net be forced by Euro
pean authority to 30 40. Had we
ratified the treaty we might now find
ourselves drafted into a new contest
to help the allies collect their indem-
nifty.

no one else should worry. But the

high cost of living, by purchasing
$3.50, 900 worth of clothes made in
England. The clothes were made for
demobilized "tommies'' and are from
the surplus stock left after the troops
had been supplied. The suits cost
about $18 apiece, and they will be

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion Of the 10000
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth Of food. clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans Roumania. Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia. Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross IN this stricken portion of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
ofphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi.
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer.
ican tractors and other farming imple-
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- in blowing the land.
BY the last of this year probably
an American Red Cross agencies adj

Will have withdrawn. BY that time, it
is believed, the people win have ap-
preached normal state of living and
WIN be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.


Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
1900 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues. community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
fied on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
fage. IN many instances solving rec
rea{ional problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action
