Attention of farmers and all

serve this for future use.

The Bed Croa to Aid India.
Ti c American National Red Cross,
now in course of reorganization under
the new powers conferred by the last
Congress, has taken up as its first act
ive work the relief of suffering in the
famine districts of India. Although
the work of reorganization his barely
begun, yet Miss Clara Barton, Presi
dent of the Red Cross, believes that
famine relief should be undertaken at
once, not only because the need of
relict grows mort urgent as time passes
but also because this is the kind of
work that Congress and the President
have committed to the hands of the
Red Cross.
To avoid delays and to prevent
complications with the reorganization
work, which will be carried on at fsa
tional headquarters at Washington,
Miss Barton has placed the India
famine work in the hands of a com
mittee with heaquarters in the Pres
byterian building, 156 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.
The committee has already received
a largs number of volunteer offers
from persons desiring to aid in the
Red Cross work in India. The offers
came from physicians, trained nurses
and persons who had already seen
service in India.
The committee has selected as its
depository of iunds the North
American Trust Company, 135
Broadway, New York City, to which
all contributions should be sent direct.
Checks should be drawn to the older
of the North American Trust Com
pany and marked "for the Red Cross
India Famine Fund.' It is hoped
that funks wi'l be forthcoming immed
iately, as the suffering in India is
widspread and acute.
By act of the last Congress the
American National Red Cross was
designated as a permanent agency for
the relief of suffering by war, famine,
pestilence; flood, fire, and all other
calamities of sufficient magnitude to
be of National importance. The
organization acts under the Geneva
Treaty, the provisions for which were
made in international convention at
Geneva, Switzerland, on August 22,
1864, and since signed by nearly all
civilized nations. The United States
gave its adhesion by act of Congress
on March 1, 1882. This was ratified
by the Congress of Berne, on July 9,
1882.
Under its new powers conferred by
Congress, the American National Red
Cross has full protection for its insig
nia. Unauthorized persons or soci
eties using the name or the emblem
of the Red Cross for the purpose of
procuring money are liable to punish
ment under the law.
In its new form the Red Cross will
establish permanent auxiliaries in all
parts of the United States, with
branches in Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines. It will be ready at
a moment's notice to send trained and
experienced relief agents to any part
of the world where the relief ot suf
fering may be needed. It will be
ready also lo receive and forward
money and supplies in cases where
trustworthy agents, such as mission
aries and consuls, are on the ground
in sufficient force to undertake relief
administration.
It is believed that with the Red
Cross always at hand as a permanent
official rgency for emergency relief,
religious organizations and voluntary
committees of citizens will be spared
much of the labor that has fallen upon
them in recent years. That this cen
tralization of relief work will be wel
comed by the public at large there is
abundant reason to believe.
The committee having in charge
the Red Cross India Famine Fund in
vites the co-operation of all lovers of
humanity in this work. A special in
vitation is given to persons who were
members of the old Red Cross auxil
iaries during the Spanish-American
war.

Stevenson by a larger majority in
the electoral college than McKinley
and Ilobart received four years ago.
It isn't pretended over confidence
that exists among . the Republican
leaders now, but genuine alarm.
They rea'ize that the trend of pub
lic sentiment is against imperirlism,
and that if they cannot stop it Mc
Kiuley and McKinleyism are doom
ed to a crushing defeat.
Dr. Habercom, who had charge
of the German work for KcKinley
four years ago and who is now
working for Bryan and Stevenson,
says of the outlook, as judged from
extensive correspondence with Ger
man voters : "The Germans know
all about imperialism. They know
that imperialism can anly be main
tained by militarism and that' mili
tarism means heavy taxation and
inroads on the young and producing
elememeut of the population and
most likely conscription. Follow
ing the Kuropean models com
pulsory service in the army or navy
for all men might be demanded.
The German voter is going to
strangle the empire before it stran
gles him. I don't think the Presi
dent's letter ot acceptance did him
any good. The most that can be
said of it is that it is the strongest
argument that can be put up 111 a
weak cause."
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas,
who was a leading Democrat in the
House for 26 years and 111 the Sen
ate for six, indignantly denies the
report that he had flopped to Mc
Kinley. In his own words : There
is not a word of truth in it. I am a
rawhide Democrat. I am not tak
ing an active part in politics, but
you can bet your life I will vote for
Bryan and do all I can for him."
Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio.
who enjoys the reputation of a close
and conservaiive political observer,
is 111 Washington. When asked
his opinion of the situation he said:
"The Democrats are now making
steady gains. They are gaining
strength every day in New York,
in Ohio, in Indiana in fact, all
over the country. If the election
occurred today the Democratic vote
would have been larger than it
was' yesterday. This far, I think
there has been no day when we
were not stronger than the day be
fore. Such a condition surely
promises well for success. ' '
