$325,000,000 GIVEN BY U. S. TO RED CROSS Annual Report of Chairman Shows Membership of 20,648, 103 in U. S.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The American people have either paid in or pledged to the American Red Cross for its work of relief throughout the world, In money or material values, a net total of at least $326,000,000. The American Red Cross has a total membership of 20,648,103 and. In addition. 8,000,000 members In the Junior Red Cross; a total enrollment of more than one-fourth the population of the United States. American Red Cross workers produced up to July 1 last a total of 221.282,833 articles of an estimated value bf $44,000,000. About 8,000,000 women are engaged In canteen work and the production relief supplies. The American Red Cross Is distributing aid in ten countries the United States, England, France, Italy, Belglum, Switzerland, Palestine, Oreece, Russia and Siberia. Besides It has aent representatives to Serbia. Denmark and Maderia. More than 5,000 Americans will be working under the Red Cross In Prance by Jan. 1, next. These facts were laid before the 3,854 chapters of the Red Cross In the annual message of the War Council of the Red Cross when the chapters throughout the. country today held their annual meetings to elect officers. Announcement was made In the message that every man, woman and child In the United States would be asked at Christmas time to enroll in the American Red Cross. Women Did Great Work. The message, signed by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council said in part: "Since the beginning of the war, you of the chapters have co-operated with the War Council in conducting two war fund drives and one membership dirve, in addition to the campaign on behalf of the Junior Red Cross. . The total actual collections to date from the first war fund have amounted to more than $115,000,000. The subscriptions to the second war fund amounted to upwards of $176,000,000. From membership dues the collections have amounted to approximately $24,500,000. "To the foregoing must be added that very large contributions of materials and time given by the millions of women throughout the country. For the period up to July 1, 1918, Ameri- ' can Red Cross chapters, through their workrooms had produced: 190.120 refugees garments; 7,123,621 hospital supplies; 10,786,489 hospital garments; 10,134,501 knitted articles, 192,743.107 surgical dressings; a total of 221,282,838 articles of an estimated aggregate value of at least $44,000.000. "These articles were largely the product of women's hands, and, by the same token, infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles going to the operating rooms of the hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees, and carrying comfort to our own boys in the field, convey a message of love from the women of this country entirely distinct from the great money value attaching to their handiwork. "By the terms under which the first Red Cross war fund was raised, the chapters were entitled to retain 25 percent of the amount collected, in order to defray local expenses, to carry on their home service work, to purchase materials to be utilized in chapter production and otherwise to meet the numerous calls made upon them. The chapters were thus entitled to retain nearly $29,000,000. As a matter of fact, their actual retentions amounted to only about $22,000,000. Out of collections from annual memberships, the chapters have retained about $11,000,000. Brazil Establishes Strict Quarantine Against Flu (By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 25.

Central Labor Council Addresses Resolution to Y. M. C. A. Board

The following resolution was adopted at the meeting of the Central Labor Council last night This resolution was introduced after a letter had been addressed to the Y. M. C. A. trustees. ' ' The Central Labor Council, Richmond. Ind.: "In the present and in the past, while local labor has been nghting there has come to the foreground a number of manufacurera who are opposed to the granting of anything that resembles permanent relief, and "Whereas: Labor, because of the attitude of these men, who profess to dominate the religious and civic life of the city, must view with suspicion any committee or society which embraces the names of one or more of these men, and "Whereas: Organized labor recognizes the Y. M. C. A. as one of the great forces necessary to win the war, and we find that it is impossible for organized labor to give whole-hearted assistance or co-operation in any manner that necessitates association with these afore-mentioned men, therefore, be it "Resolved, By the Central ; Labor Council, of Richmond, Ind., in regular meeting assembled, that this body heartily condemn the action of the board of trustees of the Y. M. C. A. in appointing S. E. Swayne, J. M. Lontz and George E. Seidel on this committee, and be it further "Resolved, That this body notify the trustees of the Y. M. C.

Opening of Offensive on American Front Described in Soldiers Letter

The following letter was received by Mrs. Joe Clevenger, of Milton, from her son, William J. Moore, in France. "I am feeling fine and dandy while writing this, though wearing my gas mask makes things somewhat uncomfortable, but it is better than being gassed. The Huns sent quite a lot over last night, also a number of huge shells. "I have been in the service just eleven months today and four of those in France, and so far feel none the worse for It. I am in the trenches for the fifth time, and don't mind it any more than getting Into a sub-way Jam In New York City. "Last night our battalion was relieved and we are now back from the lines resting up. While we were there we sure made things hot for the Huns. Although the boys are very tired and glad to rest they feel very happy over the results of the battle. No doubt the papers will publish the part our division played. To begin with I was acting courier from our company-I gun section. About midnight of September 12, I went with a message to one of the gun sergeants a short .distance awak. On my return I heard the church bell in the village strike one o'clock. AH of a sudden I felt as if the world had come to an end. What was really a very quiet night was turned into a regular hell. It is impossible for me to describe, but thousands of great guns opened up and the entire world seemed to' be on fire. The screech of shells makes one's blood run cold. While we knew that a drive was close at hand we did not know the exact date until a few hours before. The barrage continued all night A runner delivered a note to the captain and in less than five minutes we went over the top. Half an hour later we were in our new position on the outskirts of a certain farm, and our guns placed, in two great shell holes. It had been raining since early Thursday morning and was still raining. The roads were rivers of mud. The boys were Covered with mud but were glad to get a crack at the Huns. Now it was about six o'clock Friday morning and very light. To our right we could see our infantry going over the hills in perfect rows or waves, a very pretty sight; shells were bursting everywhere and great fires could be seen all along the German lines. The roar was deadening. Airplanes were blacking the sky directing artillery fire and dropping bombs on the Huns. Everything ran as by clockwork. On the roads our engineers were at work, and every time a shell knocked a tree down it was cleared away, and holes in the road repaired, so to keep the way open for troops and supplies. "The fight continued all day. About 4 o'clock another runner and I were called to take a message to headquarters. We Jumped and crawled the

"I shall not let the resolution that was passed at the meeting of the Central Labor Council last night discourage me in any way in my work for the benefit and the upbuilding of Richmond," stated George Seidel in reference to the resolution adopted. "I feel that my work in Richmond wil

Finally we came to the first barbed wire entanglements which were about sixty yards across. We got through them and then another open field to be crossed then the road. Here we crawled along a shallow trench. Aside from ripped uniforms we were none the worse for delivering the message. We stopped at a field kitchen and had a cup of hot coffee, and it sure came in good. "Such sights as we saw along the road! All ages and sizes of German prisoners were being marched back. Helmets, rifles and everything used in war were everywhere. I shall never forget it "I could just keep on writing, but time will not permits If I live to see the old U. S.

ALL-RUSSIAN ARMY PLAN OF GENERAL

(By Associated Press) VLADIVOSTOK, Thursday, Oct. 17. General Ivanoff, war minister of the Omsk government, has arrived from that city to confer with the allies in an attempt to systematize the mobilization of Russians here for the new army. He will also attempt, through a united command; to bring harmony about among military leaders of eastern Siberia, many of whom are now acting independently. General Ivanoff 6aid today: "A strong army under the all-Russian government is completing its training at Omsk, but there is urgent need- of arms, equipment and money from the .allies. At present Russia is Siberia and Siberia is Russia. Therefore, the Siberian army is a foundation for a new and powerful Russia. There is no room in , Siberia for a class war, hence, the downfall of the Bolshevikl." The Ufa government has been removed to Omsk and the authority of the all-Russian government is being exerted through cabinet members. General Ivanoff says that all questions as "to conflict of authority have now been adjusted. The organization of the new army, is based upon the principlesh of iron discipline and unity of command. The officers are responsible to the government and the. army is strictly non-political. FRENCH INSTITUTE AMERICAN COURSE ( (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct, 25. (Correspondence of the Associated Press) A course in American literature and civilization has just been instituted at the Sorbonne (the university of Paris) by the French minister of public instruction. Its purpose is to promote in the sphere of intellectual interests the same close and cordial relations between France and the United States that are now binding the two republics on other fields. It is hoped to transform this course into a regular professorship and equip it with funds for a library as well as to institute research travels in America. Professor Charles Cestre, head of the English department at Bordeaux, has been apopinted director of the course. Prof. Cestre, when still a student at the Sorbonne, was the first French student to go to America, to take advantage of the English department in a great university. He graduated from Harvard in 1897 and became an instructor there in 1898. He has written many books and magazine articles, and has lectured much in France on American universities and institutions. He was an exchange professor at Harvard in 1917-18, and afterwards travelled through the states as official lecturer of U Alliance Francaise.

King Albert and French Premier Show Bravery , in Face of Shell Fire (Bv Associated Press.? LONDON, Oct. 25. King Albert of Belgium and Premier1 Clemenceau of France were apparently so indifferent to shell fire to which they were exposed while the premier was visiting the Belgian front recently as to arouse the admiration of the Belgian soldiers. One of them describes the incident thus: V "The scene is laid among the "ruins of a part of the Belgian front daily shattered by shells, bombs or aerial torpedoes. In the street parallel to the church a little group of persons are walking. A tall khaki figure seems to be guiding a civilian and some French officers. It is a Belgian general wandering leisurely up and down nnawprine Questions and giving ex planations to his guests. From our dug-out we soldiers watch with curiosity. Suddenly a whistle, an explosion and a buret of smoke but thirty yards from the visitors. Not one of them took any notice! Another. It falls quite near. The Belgian general, the civilian and their suite have not turned their heads, merely continue their walk as slowly as before. While the fire continues, the visitors are getting nearer our dug-out and we stand at attention. ; "The Belgian general is King Albert, the civilian M. Clemenceau. I .
