Red Cross Chapter] Delegates to Hear Livingston Farrand, Red Cross Peace-Time Leader A RECENT announcement from Lake Division headquarters of the American Red Cross gives the dates of October 20, 21 and 22 for the three Lake Division n te meetings of the American Red * l'f rt Livingston Farrand, Chairman of ♦he Central Committee, will speak in lexington, Indianapolis and Clcvoland before gatherings of Red Cross chapter chairmen, executives and men'bers who have been Invited to hear Dr. Farrand detail the Red Cross peace service as it is being carried ° According to Dr. Fat’and, various kinds of Red Cross work are to be coordinated for service in American communities. Home Service. Nursing First Aid. and Junior Red Cross work in communities will perpetuate the Red Cross name, emblem and service for humanity through >ut America. Letters received recently at Lake Division Headquarters give evidence that the needs of local communities not now taken care of. are to be the business of the American Red Cross ns its peacetime work. Until the a fter-war work overseas is completed.the Red Cross is to function abroad. The Red Cross, concerned not alone with emergencies arising from sudden disasters, is planning to meet the continuing disaster of peace, the thousands of unnecessary deaths which occur yearly from preventable disease and epidemic. Three hundred and sixty-five chapters with the thousands of branches and auxiliaries in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, have been invited to send one or more delegates to attend the Important meetings just announced. Disaster Relief Still a Red Cross Service IF there comes to your town, Fire, Flood, Storm, or Epidemic, the American Red Cross will come too, bringing relief and supplies to tide you over the time of emergency. This service is to be part of the peace-time work of the organiza tion for which public support is to be asked during the week of November 2-11. when the Third Roll Call for members is made by the organization. There is need of preparedness against disasters, as statistics recently compiled at National Headquarters of the Red Cross show that since 1900 the disasters of peace-time at home have Injured 1.500,000 people, de stroyed $1,000,000 worth of property. In the year 1917 alone Red Cross aid was called for in eighty disasters. Under Red Cross direction the entire resources of all communities can be mobilized for almost instant use when needed. Three hundred and sixty-five Red Cross chapters in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky constitute preparedness committees which are to make surveys to locate food, hospital supplies, clothing, physicians and nurses, ready for emergency service. This information is to be filed by the thirteen territorial division offices of the organization and will make possible the establishment of disaster relief centers centrally located and prepared to cover trouble anywhere in the United States. In cases where the emergency is too great for any one division to handle through its own relief centers, the entire relief strength of the Red Cross can be mobilized through National Headquarters. Disaster relief work, a traditional service to the Red Cross, is to be included in the peace-time plans for service to Americans now being worked out in the Lake Division. Red Cross Distributes Hospital Supplies TWO hundred and forty packing cases containing over 2,000,000 separate articles — pneumonia jackets, absorbent pads, bandages, nightgowns, pajamas and baby clothes—have been sent out during the past week from the warehouse of the Lake Division Red Cross Headquarters, Cleveland, to hospitals in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. The American Red Cross is co-oper-ating with the American Hospital Association to distribute 25,000,000 yards of gauze, intended for military hospitals, to civil hospitals in the United States that are in need of supplies. At the division warehouse there are 3,000 boxes of garments and supplies sent in from Red Cross Chapters. These will be distributed to hospitals as orders are received from the hospital association. Women who met during the war to make surgical dressings meet now to pack these cases. In the distribution the past week twenty-five hospitals in Ohio received supplies, five in Indiana and two in Kentucky.

IM. F. EGAN WRITING K. OF C. HISTORY — Service Men Called for Scholar* ship Examinations—Employment Service Seeks Many New Jobs. An official history of the Knights of Columbus for publication In two volumes is nearing completion under the joint editorship of Messrs. Maurice Francis Egan, former United States Ambassador to Denmark, and John I’., Kennedy, director of publicity of the Knights. The first volume will contain two books, one dealing with the crlgln, growth, fraternal and piddle activities of the order; the second book being devoted to an exhaustive review of the war work at home and abroad. In the second volume the patriotic services rendered by more than fifty thousand members of the Knights of Columbus in the world war Adil be commemorated. It will detail the efforts of the soldler-Knights from the United States, Canada, New Foundland, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. Dr. fell Hr §■- * IH I ' JK w ■"fen Copyrighted by International MAURICE FRANCIS EGAN. Dipion,at and Literateur Who Is Writing Official History of the Knights of Columbus With John B. Kennedy, Egan Is a prolific writer of history, biography, fiction and poetry, and an acknowledged figure in the realm of American literature. Mr. Kennedy is a well known newspaper writer, a contributor of poetry and fiction stories to magazines, and one of the most accomplished publicity producers developed during the war welfare work campaigns. According to Peter W. Collins, director of the reconstruction and employment service of the Knights of Columbus, the demand of soldiers, sailors and marines for jobs Is still to be encountered. The Knights will continue their efforts to find jobs for the men. The work lias been Intensified in Greater New York, nnd the big hut located in the Longacre Square section of Broadway is kept open until nine o'clock each evening. One of the reasons why most of the service men appeal to the Knights for jobs is primarily brought about through their policy of refusing to place men in positions which would “run them In a blind alley." The employment service has never placed any of the many thousand men in a job paying less than $lB per week, nor in any kind of work to which the applicant is not suited. Despite the vigorous protest of the order against the ousting of all welfare workers from the military camps and reservations of the army, there is every indication that the policy of the war department will be invoked. While the government order of taking over the wofk of welfare societies and putting it in the hands of army officers was directed against other organizations besides the Knights of Columbus, none made any public protest against the contemplated action. The first protest brought letters and telegrams to William P. Larkin, overseas director, from former officers and soldiers urging the order to fight the idea of taking civilian support away. Sentiment of the soldiers favors the Knights. Several hundred former service men will this week hear the verdict on, how they passed the entry examinations held by tlie different colleges and universities which the Knights of Columbus have selected in their award of one hundred free scholarships to soldiers, sailors and marines. The scholarships Include board, lodging, books and tuition. All of the applicants have been looked after by William J. McGinley, Supreme Secretary of the Knights of Columbus, at New Haven, Conn. One of the unusual cases which came to the attention of Mr. McGinley was a cablegram from a soldier at Coblenz, Germany, asking that his application for an engineering cqrurse be considered, which request was granted. -• | $ $ $— WANT ADS EARN—S $ $ $

KEEP THEM GOING ' Government Has Already Completed Secret Plans Which Will Keep I ■■■■ RAILROADS RUNNING If Coal Strike Goes on Nov. Ist—Efforts are Being Made to Avert It. (United Press Servico) Washington, Oct. 30—(Special to Daily Democrat)— The federal gov-1 eminent today completed plans for action to be taken in the attempt to keep industries and railroads running and to preserve order when the 1 strike of 500.000 soft coa] miners goes into effect tomorrow night. Details of the government’s plans are secret, as carefully guarded as war plans would be. but it was learned that orders for the first moves already have been issued. At the same time efforts were still I ■ being made to avert the threatened strike. Backing up President Wil- 1 son’s recent declaration outlawing it, Attorney General Palmer issued ! a statement asserting the walkout would violate the miners contract and threatening to prosecute under the food and fuel control act, those ■ involved. Congress was virtually helpless in the face of the announced determination of labor leaders to go through . witli the strike as scheduled. It was expected that the senate and possibly the house would go on record in vigorous protest against any compromise, but congress was looki ing to the white house for whatever action is necessary. “It is up to th'e executive arm of

But now we have a chance ■ to find out if we have a strong gov-'; eminent or not.” Frelinghuysen said he planned no I further investigation of the strike i situation, the committee having gone ; deeply into the situation, during the' past few weeks. • If there is anything that congress ■ can do, however, Frelinghuysen back-' ed by many other senators, will do it. they made clear today. An effort was expected to be made to bring up ; the resolution of Thomas, Colorado, which would assure the president and the secretary of war of the moral support of congress in any steps I they may deem necessary. Senators take the position that the coal miners have an agreement with the government and that in the legal sense the war is not yet over and : the agreement therefore Is still binding.
