"The reason people do not have time to read, is that they do not read." Dr. H. H. Cherry.

The Red Cross on a Business Basis A stupendous task confronted the Red Cross Society when the war broke out. It had coped successfully with problems affecting civilian relief and with small wars, but never in its history had so gigantic a task confronted it as when all Europe hurled itself into the present war. Naturally the old organization found many weaknesses that had to be overcome and found itself confronted by conditions that taxed its executive ability to the utmost. But it met these problems promptly and with good judgment so that today it is able to manage without confusion the added work which America's entrance into the war has forced upon it. . Harvey D. Gibson, president of the Liberty National Bank of New York City, has become general manager of the Red Cross, according to an announcement made Sunday. Before he entered the banking business, Mr. Gibson was assistant manager of the American Express company. He brings with him high executive ability

that has been developed in an excellent school. He will co-ordinate the work of the chapters and mobilize effectively the volunteer service of the thousands of men and women who have joined the Red Cross in the last few months.

Say Germans Feel War Is Lost The whole world is speculating on what is really going on behind the curtains in Germany. The Entente powers and our own government believe that the Kaiser is bluffing the world into believing that he is instituting reforms whereas in reality he is staging a fight to save his dynasty. The manifest failure of his submarine policy, the entrance of the United States into the conflict, and the rehabilitation of the Russian army and the telling blows it has struck in Galicia must have a depressing influence on the morale of the German soldiers and on the spirit of the people. Refugees from Poland who reached the United States early this week declared that underneath the surface in Germany there is growing a belief that the country lost more than she could gain through the ruthless submarine campaign. The German people believe the war is

going against them and are ready to take part in a gigantic political upheaval. The statements of some of the Poles make interesting reading for the American who is trying to orient himself in the present crisis: Mendel Serottsky, a merchant of Wilna said:. "From what I have seen of the Germans they agree that the war Is lost and their only hope is to save something out of the wreck. They fight on because, the soldiers are held under strict discipline and because they are urged on by their patriotism. The food situation is troubling Germany more than anything else. German . hopes were centered on Russia, believing they could conclude a separate peace with the Russians, obtain from them a food supply and then turn on the remaining enemies. "The German soldiers are sorry that America is in the war, not because they fear the military power of America, but because America is in a position to shut off their supplies. The Germans do not hate America, and they did not want to fight her. There can't be a revolution when only the women and children and the men necessary for civil positions are at home. The soldiers have plenty to occupy them and besides the soldiers are well fed. There may be trouble when the soldiers go hungry." Chaim Berman. merchant and teacher of Grodno, Poland, has come to America in hope of finding his wife and children, from whom he became separated when the Germans entered his native place. "The Germans left us only our clothes," he said. "They drove off the livestock and took possession of all the goods in the place. It is Impossible to describe conditions in Grodno, where the people are starving and every bit of food is under Government control. For trivial violations of the military order Jews are beaten daily. Food prices are very high, and those who have money can eat; the rest must starve. For six months we could get no meat. Sugar, for example, is 70 cents a pound, and other things correspondingly as high." . Some refugees brought their food cards, and in some cases their allotment was an egg a month and a lump of sugar a day. Berman said that not so long ago he went through Bia.lost.ok and saw children on the streets crying and begging for food. When he returned those children were dead of hunger, and he saw some of their bodies.

Mrs. Esther Eisenberg, who left Warsaw three weeks ago

to join her husband in Chicago, said:

"The people in v Warsaw are dying of hunger. The death rate is 500 a day there, and those who do not act

ually die of starvation are so weakened by lack of food that they fall victims to disease. Six months ago bread

was 17 cents a pound. Now it is 35 cents. The fortu

nate' get about four and a half pounds of bread every

two weeks.

"The Germans are sick of war. It was bad news to the soldiers when they learned that America had gone to war. They did not think she would. Though there was strict censorship, the people learned that American

troops had arrived In France. They do not know ho

many are there, and believe the number is insignificant,

The soldiers are willing to lose if only they can have

peace again." - Officers Training Camps

Major Gen. T. H. Barry, in command of th

military training division of the Central Depart

ment, asks you men to heed this appeal :

"Our country is a conspicuous example of force, pro

gress and prosperity in all fields of human endeavor. This

results from the liberty of thought and action which we

all enjoy.

"The Constitutional guaranties that have made this possible are now in danger. If these guaranties live, it

will only be through America's men who bring to our mm

tary establishments the same thought, energy and leader

ship that have made their peaceful pursuits successful

Those who are achieving success in peaceful pursuits do so because they have within them native ability which

would make them equally successful in military life.

"Successful men must now give their knowledge and

energy to the organization and direction of military force, For successful military leadership they should be special

ly trained in the. Officers' Training Camps.

"Millions of young men will soon be called to arms

they have a right to be led and directed by the best men

on the country, and an appeal is made to men of this type

to come forward and enter themselves for the Officers

Training Camps before July 16th the last date for filing

applications."

QUEENSTOWN, July 3. (Mail)

The newest memorial to be placed on the graves of the Lusitania victims is an artificial bouquet of flowers enclosed in a glass case, also containing a woman's photograph and small marble cross with the inscription:' "In memory of my dear wife, Margaret Butler, drowned on the Lusitania. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. I will repay." This and three rough mounds of earth virtually are all that mark the resting place of more than one thousand persons who perished May 7, 1915, when a German submarine stunned the world by sending to the bottom of the ocean, twenty-three miles from here, the first trans-Atlantic passenger steamship to be sunk by a torpedo. There is a-movement on foot to erect a great monument over these graves but it is not likely to bear fruit until the end of the war. Cunards May Help. , A high official of the Cunard Steamship company, owners of the ill-fated Lusitania, visited the graves recently and deprecated the fact that they are so neglected. He told the veteran town clerk, James Campbell, that he is making a report to his company with the view of co-operating with the British government for a suitable monument but expressed doubt if anything could be done in the midst of this war. Officers and men from American

craft now in British waters also have

made long overland pilgrimages to the graves and have given hearty support to the movement. A correspondent of The Associated Press who a few days ago, visited the burial place in a local cemetery which is situated in a greeh wood on the cliffs behind this picturesque town, found grass growing a foot high over the three mounds marking as many huge graves, the largest containing 70 bodies and the others 50 and 27 victims of the German submarine. The town clerk apologized for the uncut grass, saying it was allowed to grow until July 1, to enable the poorly paid caretaker to procure hay therefrom. Change Prophesied. "After July, the first, he said, "you will see a transformation." The town council has just denied a request made by the relatives of Miss E. A. Secombe, of Peterborough, New Hampshire, to allow her body to be disinterred for burial in the United States, on the gronud that it is detrimental to the public health. It develops that the town medical authority has been busy ever since the catastrophe in declining requests made by relatives of the victims in American and other countries. The cemetery is

seldom visited by any of the townspeople, who shun it, because it brings back awful memories of the heartbreaking scenes enacted on that fateful May 7, two years ago. As showing the sentimentality, of these pious townspeople, it is interesting to note that the town hall which was turned into a temporary morgue on that occasion pas never been occur pied by any one since, except Campbell, the town clerk. . . "People who used the town hall as a market place where they sold butter, eggs, and cheese have never returned," said Campbell. "The treasury is set back five pounds annually, derived from rental space in the town hall." Not until about two years after the disaster could the decorator and painter be induced to take up the work of housecleaning the town hall, which is

being done in the hope of coaxing back

the market people and incidentally some of the revenue of this quaint old place which before the war owed its fame largely to its being the port of

call of American mall steamers and the fact that it boasts the oldest athletic club in the world".
