the place of men and proving their
ability TO serve their country. When
peace comes, men are apt to recognize
this by giving them voice in govern
ment, she says.
That is another point that Uncle
Sam has ir mind in having the women
folk cultivate the wives and daughters
of his southern neighbors. He doesn't
intend to let his g g1od-neighbor policy
lapse after this emergency; he intends
to build up hemisphere solidarity for
all time. And the more political power
the Latin American women acquire,
the more important it Is for him to
secure their good will.
Women throughout this country and
in all the Latin American countries are
working to improve inter-American
relations. They are working primarily
through the Inter-American Commits
sion of Women, composed of one repre-
sentative from each of the 81 republics,
with a permanent Office in the Pan
American Union.
The women of this country have their
contact with the commission through
the United States representative, Miss
Mary Winslow. 1t is Miss Winslow, also,
who handles the work with women for
Nelson Rockefeller, co-ordinator of
commercial and cultural relations
between the American republics.
OId-Time Suffragette.
Miss Winslow is an old-time suffra-
gette, with memories of narrowing ex-
periences in the picket line and in the
midst of anti-feminist riots in the fight
for women's rights. In the co-ordinator's
office she aids the United States women's
organizations to carry on their

reports of the dreadful suffering at the
front from. want of supplies and care"
says Cora Bacon-Foster. Putting aside
considerations of convention and pro-
priety, Clara Barton determined to go
to the fields where her supplies were
most needed. By persistent effort she
secured a pass from Col. Rucker, the
Washington depot quartermaster, who
always was her devoted friend and
them Mrs. Fales. wife of Patent ONCE
official, also q worker for the soldiers
during the war-she was on the field
after The battle of Cedar Mountain in
August, 1862.
"One Of Clara Bar.on's greatest war
achievements, measured by results, was
her success in securing the authority
to cut the red tape regulations that con-
tinued the congestion at Acquia Greek,
where hundreds of wounded men were
held waiting in ambulances and in the
fields for transportation to Washington
hospitals. No one Was ever told how
she secured tug for the Capital, but
she came and at night aroused the
chairman of the Senate Military Com-
mittee, who at once conferred with the
War Department officials; they were
incredulous of the recital of incapacity
at the flcnt, but the Senator so stormed,
threatening publicity, that in two hours
the quartermaster general was en- route
for Acquia Greek, where he took charge
and cleared the situation"
Grants Headquarters.
Clara Bartons subsequent experience
with the International Red Cross relief
workers in the Franco -Prussian War in
duced her to establish an organization of
this kind in the United States, and so,
on May 81, 1881, "The Association of the
Red Cross" was incorporated in the Dis
trict of Columbia and worked under
this charter for 10 years. In 1893 the
association was reincorporated in the
District as the American National Red
Cross and from 1892 to 1895 occupied

Convoy Arrives in Britain After Repeated As
 sdults by Germans

LONDON, Sept l3.-Battered by two submarine attacks and a Nazi air assault in raging storm, plus just missing conflict with Ger man surface raider, the bulk of British convoy on the Atlantic reached port today with only eight ships missing, the Admiralty said. Three ships were victims of tor pedos, four were sunk by aerial bombs and another foundered in the storm after being damaged in the aerial attack.
 The Admiralty highly praised the conduct of the men in the convoy and gave a large measure of credit for bringing the majority of the craft safely through the danger to Lieut.. Comdr c. A. Thring, ii command of the senior escort ship.
 The first attack on the convoy was made far at sea by the sub marines, which sunk two ships within few minutes. The steamer Brandenburg picked up nearly all the men from one of the sunken vessels and survivors from the other were rescued l2 hours later by the sloop Deptford.
 Later, an air attack from six four-engined bombers sunk one ship outright and two others soon fol- lowed. A fourth ship was hit in the eneineroom and abandoned. Another was damaged.
 The submarines struck again the next day, sinking the Brandenburg immediately. Only one man was saved. A day later, the convoy was warned that a German warship was near, but the fleet hoye-to in a near gale for two days and the raider meanwhile disappeared. The entire crew was saved from the damaged ship which was lost in the storm

MIDNIGHT TOMORROW
 INDUCTION ZERO HOUR
 FOR ALASKA GUARDS


 Well, girls, when you kiss your guardsmen good night tomorrow evening, make that last territorial embrace real one, because when the fellows wake up Monday morn ing they'll be members of, not the Alaska National Guard but the Ma tional Guard of the United States.
 At minute after midnight, Sun day night, the men of the guari in Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Ketchikan will pass from the jurisdiction of the Territory of AL aska and under the control of the U. s. Army.
 But, girls, don't keep those Ju- neau guardsmen up too late Sum- day night, because at T a.m Mon- day khaki-clad bugler is going to blow Reveille in the Southeast Alaska Fair Building, down near the Douglas bridge. and the boys will be expected to toe the line and right-dress for Uncle Sam.
 At least that's the lineup as pro- posed today by Major Jesse E. Gra- ham, U. s. Army instructor in charge of induction in the Terri tory.
 Don't Bring Toothbrusiies
 No. Major Graham affirmed, the guardsmen aren't going to be re- quired to turn out a minute after midnight tomorrow, the moment when the induction order becomes effective. And when they appear at T am. Monday, in response to the 5ugler's "can't-get-em-up' notes, the men aren't expected to take their personal effects along. But when they fall in after the bugle has stopped it's footing. the men will be in the army now" the Major pointed out.
 Unless their living at home in- terferes with their army duties, Ju- neau men who wish to stay at their homes between the induction date and their departure for Chilkoot Barracks or Fort Richardson will be permitted to do so, Major Graham stated.
 However the guardsmen will all be fed by the army in local res- taurants while they are in the city. As matter of fact, the first order of the day Monday, after they are lined up at the fair building, will

WASHINGTON = This is the story of how paid German agents have used for their own purposes a very active member of congress and through him have flooded the country with Nazi literature.
 The Congressman is Stephen A. Day, Republican Representative at large from Illinois, who on April 6. 1883. sent telegram to Adolf Hitler congratulating him on his rise to power.
 Since then book written by Con- gressman Day entitled We Must Save the Republic" and consisting largely of attacks on Great Britain have been flooding the country. This book is published by firm registered at the State Department as paid by Nazi agents.
 Congressman Day has been send ing out telegrams Cat Government eXpense) attempting to exonerate himself from Nazi connections. How CNCi, III NACW VI tilC ldCG UIldU JitC Merry -Go-Round interviewed Day two months ago, well before his book was published, and called his attention specifically to his nazi af- filiations, it would appear that he went into the Nazi publishing game with his eyes open.
 At that time (June l5) Congress man Day had just delivered radio broadcast demanding that Great Britain be made to pay for her back war debts. One interesting thing about his speech was the fact that it was mimeographed and distributed to newspapers by the Columbia Press Service, an organ ization close to George Sylvester vierick.
