Chief Justice Hughes
In Tribute to Red Cross

One of the finest tributes ever
paid the American Red Cross and its
membership was that by Chief JUS
lice Charles Evans Hughes, of the
United States Supreme Court. on
the occasion of the fiftieth birthday
anniversary Of the organization on
May 81 Of this year. Mr.. Hughes said:
1.-THE American Red Cross repre-
sents the unitod voluntary effort of
the American people in the minis
try Of mercy. 1t is the finest and
most effective expression of the
American heart. 1t knows no par
tisanship. In the perfection of Its
cooperation, there is no blemish Of
distinctions by reason Of race or
creed or political philosophy.
However we may differ in all
things else. in the activities of the
Bed Cross we are q united people.
None of our boosted Industrial en-
terprises surpasses it in efficiency.
-. 1t moves with the precision and
the discipline of an army to achieve
the noblest of human aims.
1.-The American Red Cross is not
only first in war but first in peace.
The American people rely upon its
ministrations in every great catas-
trophe. 1t has given its aid in over
one thousand disasters. When. as
we hope, war will be no more, stu
the Red Cross, in the countless &C.
tivities of relief and rehabilitation,
will continue to function as the or
ganized compassion of our country"

composed, sealed and presented to
Washington, the French made every
effort to detain his Indians with more
liquor and presents. Finally, how
ever, on December 16, Washington
was able to break away and got back
to Venango on the 22nd.
By then his horses were done for,
and, DOMINIC Indian costume, Wash
ington set out on foot, his compan-
ions likewise. Even so, his baggage
was an encumbrance, and Washington
left it in charge of Van Braam, while
he and Gist pushed on by themselves.
At a place with the startling name of
Numbering Town they fell in with
Indians of more than doubtful char
acter, one of whom insisted on &C.
companying Washington and Gist, on
the plea that the woods were full OF
hostile Ottawas and that he was
needle for protection. A little way
along their route, this self-appointed
protector suddenly shot at Washing
ton or Gist, but fortunately missed.
By a stratagem, Washington and
Gist got rid of this fellow. Pretending
to camp for the night, they rushed
on instead, through he night and all
the next day, and finally reached the
banks of the Allegany river, hoping
to find it sufficiently frozen to cross.
The stream, instead, was full of float
ing les and therefore dangerous. A
raft had to be built, and, with but one
Ratchet, Washington and Gist con-
sumed a whole day in constructing
this craft.
They got half across the river on
this frail float when it jammed in the
ice, and Washington was jerked into
ten feet of icy water in attempting to
get the raft free. Only by luckily
grabbing log of the raft did he save
himself. At length they drifted to an
island in midstream and there passed
a night so cold that Gist's hands and
feet were frozen. By next morning
the river itself had frozen and they
were able to land on the southern
shore and reach the cabin of John
Frazier on Turtle Creek, along the
Monongahela. After a rest there,
they pushed on to the. cabin of Gist,
where Washington was able to buy
horse and hurry on home alone.
He got back to williamsburg on
January 16, delivered st. Pierre's de-
iant refusal on the part of the French
to leave the Ohio region and wrote
out his own report to the Governor.
Vastly to Washington's surprise, the
Governor ordered it printed and
Washington found himself suddenly
famous. He himself may not have
known then that here was the begin
ming of his career, though we konw it
now, in the perspective of history.
In these days it is scarcely possible
to think of Western Pennsylvania,
now teenfing with important manu-
featuring towns and cities, as once a
wilderness so densely wooded and
dangerous that it was almost mira
Gle for a lone white man to escape it
alive. But the Virginians of that day
knew it, and the fact added to Wash
ington's reputation. At once he was
the rising hope of his Colony; and,
on the strength Of this achievement
Washington began to climb the mill
tary ladder. He reached the, highest
rung when he became Commander-in-
Chief of the Revolutionary Army.
So the date of October 80 is impor-

GENERAL WASHINGTON'S
DANGEROUS EXPLOIT, 1853

To the American boy Of today, Oc-
tober 80 is Halloween and nothing
more. But October 80 marks another
anniversary of considerable impor-
lance. The United States George
Washington Bicentennial Commission
points out that it was very impor-
tant day in the life of George Wash
ington. On that day, 178 years ago,
George Washington began the first
major assignment in the interest of
his people. .
On that day in the year 1853,
George Washington, only 81 years
old, but already Major in the Vir-
ginia militia, was sent by the Gov
ernor of Virginia to penetrate the
Pennsylvania wilderness and warn the
French on the Ohio to vacate the ter
ritory which, the Governor claimed,
belonged to Virginia. 1t was risky
business, because the French were
reaching down from their stronghold
in Canada and fortifying all that re-
gion which is now Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. And long before he could
face the hostile French commander,
Washington had first to get through
wilderness teeming with doubtful In
dams in the dead of winter.
On October 80 he set out from Will
liamsburg, the Virginia capital in that
day, journeying north to Fredericks-
burg, where he picked up French in
terpreter, Jacob Van Braam. From
there he rode to Winchester, and
thence to Wills Creek, now the city OF
Cumberland, Maryland. There he was
joined by Christopher Gist, a trader
and scout, skilled in Indian ways and
familiar with the densely wooded re-
gion.
On November Is, Washington and
Gist, together with another woods
man they hired as an interpreter, one
John Davidson, set out into the wintry
wilds, on a day of rain and snow. At
Turtle Creek, a few miles south of
the present Pittsburgh, they stopped
at the shack of John Frazier, an
other experienced trader. From there
they headed for Logstown, some IT
miles away.
The errand that took Washington
there was to meet certain Indian
chiefs and win them over as his al
lies.
In this Washington was successful
and from these Indians he gathered
valuable information. Some 70 miles
of dangerous and difficult country had
still to be covered, but on December
a Washington set forth, accompanied
by Half King and other Indians for
further escort. At length they reach
ed Venango, now Franklin, with their
objective-Fort LIE Boeuf-still fur
Their up French creek near the site
of the present Waterford.
Arriving at the fort, the youthful
Washington delivered his message
from the Governor to the French
commander, st. Pierre, and got his
first taste of international diplomacy.
The Frenchman took two days to con-
slider Governor Dinwiddie's letter, and
meanwhile, did his best to wean away
Washington's Indians with fair
speeches and liberal potions of liquor.
Even when st. Pierre's reply had been
