QUAKERS MUST WAKE UP SAYS DRIVE LEADER

Charles F. Coffin, State Red Cross Leader, Addresses Richmond "Drivers." Quakers must wake up to a realization that world brotherliness is not possible when there is a brute nation like Germany to be dealt with, Charles r. CofBn, state leader of the Red Cross war fund drive, said in a talk before the Tied Cross workers of the county at a. luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. Monday evening. The meeting was preparatory to the opening of the city Red Cross drive which began Tuesday. "It Is all right to talk brotherhood and love and peace," he said, "but what is the use of crying peace, peace, when there is no peace. The Quakers must let their blood run through their veins in a way it never has before, before thi3 war is over." "There 1 should be no thought of peace until Germany has been whipped on her own soil," he continued. "We are at war with an outlawed nation. Since 1873, Germany has deteriorated into a brute beast, and we can only meet such a combantant with brute force. Our enemy has no reason, no mercy no morality. The Germans should be made to feel what France and Belgium have been made to feel. The only way to deal with them is to kill them, and to kill them quick. Must Support the War. "In order to win the war we must support the Red Cross and other institutions growing out of the war, and there should be no reason why the Red Cross drive should not receive unqualified support. The greatest money sacrifice we can give cannot compare with the sacrifice made by the men in the trenches. "Indiana people are showing their splendid patriotic spirit by the enthusiasm with which they have taken hold of the Red Cross drive. The quota assigned the state this year is more than 50 per cent, larger than last year's, but there is no doubt that we will raise the money. "We are making no sacrifices in this war, you and I. Until I sell my car, and have cnly one suit of clothes, I will not consider that I have made any sacrifice in giving. The other day I sat near a Canadian soldier at a luncheon. When he rose to his feet to spenk, T saw that he did so with an effort.. Later I learned that he had left two legs 'on the battle field in France. I would rather give every cent that I have than to give, what that man has." John M. Lontz, president of the county war fund committee presided at the meeting. "Those who cannot bear arms for their country must render support at home," he said, "we have been drafted to give our pervices over here. Everybody is making money because of the war. We should be willing to give some of it to this cause." The methods to be used by solicitors in interviewing subscribers and making reports were explained by E. M. Haas, secretary of the war fund

Daniel G. Reid Devotes All His Time Helping V. S. Win the War

The "Annalist," in a recent issue, has the following complimentary things to say about Daniel G. Reid, formerly of this city: "Daniel G. Reid, chairman of the Board of the American Can Company, a director in the United States Steel Corporation, Liberty National Bank, Bankers Trust Company, and a dozen or so other institutions, sits c at his desk on the' twenty-third floor of the big building at 14 Wall Street whence he can look down -on the roof of the New York Stock Exchange just acrossthe way. . . "Time was when another room across the hallway was also used by Mr. Reid. It contained a number of telephones, a clerk, and a trader who gave orders to various brokers to buy and sell stocks. That, according to nearly everybody's belief, was Mr. Reld's principal and absorbing occupationtrading in stocks. But times

have changed. The annex office has been closed and there are but four telephones in the other office. "Mr. Reid has found so many tasks to . his hand that he is no longer concerned with th9 stock market. The American Can Company has been making shells and gas masks; the Steel Corporation has been turning out steel for ships and shells; the Liberty National Bank has handled the British securities sent here for liquidation or to be used as collateral. Somehow, the old game of trying to beat other speculators lost its attraction in the competition of the new game of trying to beat the Kaiser. Perhaps when the war is over, Mr. Reid will become again a great market operator. It is just as good a guess that he will not. He has just as much aptitude for big business problems and he may get hi3 fun out of them in the future.

Kline Outlines New Plan to Wayne Farmers J. C. Kline, Wayne county agriculture agent, has devised a co-operative plan for farm work that he says will probably gain a week or more on the corn crop this year if the suggestion is acted upon by farmers. v On account of the recent heavy rains Mr. Kline said, some farmers have been compelled to stop work in the fields for several days, some of them losing as much as a whole week. Other farmers, more fortunate, having a lighter soil and located on higher ground Were able to return to the fields within a day or two after the rain. "I would suggest to all farmers who are unable to work in their fields on account of the wet soil, that they help their neighbors whose soil may be dryer," Mr. Kline said. "Your neighbors will pay you back later on. If you have corn planted and it is not ready to cultivate, help your neighbor who is working hard to yet his ccrn planted in due time. If this method is carefully followed I believe it will gain a week on the corn crop as a whole."

UT of the bleeding heart of Europe there comes a cry heard above the moan of the broken body racked with pain. The Soul of Freedom, at bay with Death, cries out to save Liberty for the race of men. It is your Liberty, your nation's freedom, your children's birthright, that is fighting for its life. All that life holds for you as American is at stake in this war, and you must fight for it to the utmost limits of your power. We cannot all be in the trenches, but every one of us can and must sustain those who are. Uncle Sam needs a lift over there. Not as an act of mercy, but as an act of war as a Soldier of the Nation help the Red Cross heal, support, cheer our Soldiers and Sailors of Liberty that they may fight the sooner, the harder, the longer in this Holy War. Give to the Red Cross every dollar, every cent that you possibly can give till your heart says stop. Millions of loyal Americans will pledge a part of each month's earnings during June, July, August and September. . $100,009,099 must be raised in one week. What Will You Do To Help ?
