EYEWITNESS PRAISES RED
CROSS WORKERS IN HAWAII

cember 26, on which Mr.. Wesselius
and his wife, Kathryn, were pas
sengers, one weary mother sighed:
Il don't know what we would do
without the Red Cross. In Homo
lulu it was so good to see the first
aid stations open up. Then on the
boat Red Cross workers provided
toys and Christmas candy for the
children. And now the Red Cross
is here to wish us a Merry Christ
mas"
Mr.. Wesselius' report on Red
Cross activities in Hawaii was
made few days ago.
In describing the splendid work
of Red Cross workers during and
after the attack, Mr.. Castle wrote:
Even before the firing was over
an immediate mobilization of the
Red Cross was under way, and
within two or three hours the Mo-
tor Corps was on duty, as were the
heads of the Production, Canteen
Corps and all other branches of
the Red Cross.
THE immediate evacuation OF
some 5000 people was essential.
By three o'clock Monday morning
this was an accomplished fact.
The School Department came to
the rescue with all school buildings
and the use of their cafeterias, and
q special Red Cross unit of some
800 evacuees was installed at the
University of Hawaii"

APPEAL FOR MORE -
FOOD IS HEEDED BY
MARYLAND FARMERS

Maryland farmers are respond
ing to the appeal for increased
production of food required by the
defense program.
Preliminary reports from a sur
vey that is being made of all the
farms to explain the needs for
greater production of certain com

tions of farmers with respect to
production of crops and animals in
1912 indicate that the increases

those requested by the Govern

Greater Increases
1t is indicated that greater in
creases than those requested are
being planned by farmers in pro
duction Of milk, eggs, hogs, beef
cattle, turkeys. tomatoes for can

Maryland was asked by the sec
retary of Agriculture to increase
milk production by per cent.
County Defense Boards considered
s per cent necessary and farmers
indicate they will increase by 7

Tth, Walter Wesselius, director OF
China Relief of the American Red

the fierce attacks from the porch
of a Honolulu hospital, where he
was a convalescent from a serious
illness.
His eyewitness account of the

return to the Washington head
quarters, emphasized the prepar-

Immediately, he said, and a prear-
ranged plan for the evacuation Of
civilians functioned without a
hitch.
Following the attacks" he said,
Il left Honolulu on transport
and typical of the fine work of
the Red Cross was the supplying
of IA nurses by the Hawaiian chap
ter to tend the wounded who were
being evacuated on the ship.
Many of the nurses had only
two hours warning that they were
needed. They didn't have time to
go to their homes for their belong
ings. They just made bee-line
for the ship and went to work car
ing for the wounded, many of
whom were in serious condition.
"The trip over was uneventful,
except for the nightly blackout,
and though many of the passeng-
ers probably had their fears, none
showed it. Red Cross volunteer
workers helped keep up the morale
of the passengers, and then when
we landed in San Francisco, the
local Red Cross chapter was on
hand to arrange for transportation
and care of the refugees" he said

Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Ci-

the Vatican labeled as purely flc-

Latin America that the church had
attempted to interfere in the inter-
American conference at Rio De

The reports were broadcast by the

The delegate said in a statement: ::

Holy See, however, desirous of inter-
national peace and harmony, made
no pronouncements whatsoever,
either through diplomatic channels,
or conf1dentially, before, during or

1T has been asserted that the

Organization HurriedIy Built.
I'VE now have 1000 volunteers in
service, and the organization was
built up rather hurriedly," said

Our experience Is that this is a
fine body Of men and women, but in
any army Of this size it is possible
there are some who are not living I'D
to their responsibilities, that some
may be in the wrong positions, or
some who have not had proper
