American Aid Coming
 Says Secretary Hughes

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-American assistance in necessary measures for the economic rehabilitation of Eur ope may be counted upon, Secretary Hughes of the United States said in this city today upon his arrival from an European tour.
 "It does not matter that this aid is not given by the government" MT. Hughes continued. "I may give it as my conviction that had had we attempted to make Americas con- tributions to the recent plan of ad- justment of a governmental matter, we should have been involved in a hopeless debate and there would have been no adequate action.
 "We have been beset with de- mands, objections, instructions. This is not the way to make an American contribution to economic revival.
 "You have the Dawes plan and you have had the participation of American experts with the liberty of constructive effort, which was es- sential because it was undertaken in the only way in which success was possible. When you deal with eco- homie rehabilitation you doubtless have in mind such contribution as America may be able to give in dis interested advice and later in par ticipation in the absolutely essential Dlan."

Miss Stella Fuller also reached Se- ward arriving from the westward on the Starr. Miss Fuller is placed in the Seward Chapter by the Jane De- lano Fund. This fund is created thru the will of Miss Delano who was Red Cross nurse and the organizer of the Red Cross Nursing Service. These nurses about forty thousand in number, are the reserve force for the Army and Navy. They are also call ed upon for service in any disaster and many are doing public health nursing. Miss Delano wished the iso- lated places to have the service of such workers. The demonstration is made with the idea of the local Chap ter taking over the work as soon as the finances can be arranged.
 The Delano fund has taken the en- tire financial responsibility, covering salary and travelling expenses until Jan. 1, 1924, Since that time the To- cal Chapter has taken care of the travelling expenses except when the nurse went to San Francisco for me- dlcal attention. The nurse pays her own living expenses in Seward and
 
 The local chapter acts in an ad- visory capacity to the nurse and car rles. on the other phases of chapter work, such as the Home Service work and Junior Red Cross work.
 Miss Taake is making an investi- gation at the request of the Delano Committee and will report on the extent of the value of the nursing service in this particular territory and the advisability of continuing the service Miss Fuller has now made trips to the westward and finds that the work is limited because of the lack of facilities and medical service to complete the work that she finds needed. A meeting will be held at the c. F. McMullen store tonight at 3 o'clock to discuss the matter and it is urged that good attendance may be had.
 The Post War work is important part of every chapters program. The Bonus forms have been received and applications for adjusted compensa- tion may be filed now. Forms may be secured from the local chapter of the Red Cross and if any assistance Is wished in filling in the forms it will be gladly given. Every ex-ser- vice man is a-responsibility of the Red Cross until every claim he has against the government has been ad- justed and should there be any uues- tions on the minds of any of them, Miss Taake will be glad to have the ex-service men call at the Hotel and she will talk over the problems care fully.
