M. Adori.ian. Az Est is a subsidized organ of the Hungarian government, and it is said that a deserted cemetery could not be more depressing than the picture it has permitted M. Adorijan to draw of the capital of its ally. This is what lie says: "The train glided along the high viaduct within the inner part of the <'ity toward its heart, the Kriedrichstrasse Station. Already we had passed the slums, the zone which reminds one of Seville, with its multicolored garments hanging out of the windows to dry. I stood at the win. dow staring out into streets leading straight to the center of the city. "At first I thought it was an opical illusion; the streets wore almost completely deserted, as if it wen late at night and every one had gon< to bed. But it was not so. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, yet on< could only discern a figure now ant then in the streets. From the trail window it seemed as if they weri but shadows moving phantoms dowi in the depths..

GERMANS BELITTLE AMERICAN TROOPS - \ > Say They Will Prove Small Fac tor in Great Struggle. ' Claim our Men are Mot Equ^l to Task. DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE UP AGAINST It appears from news which leaked out of Germany, in spite of the unusually close censorship, that the German officials are telling their men and women that the American troops will cut little figure in the big war.

The Germans will find that out soon enough, in the meantime, we at home should get ready for the big drive. Of course wc all can't go to the front but we can do our bit in just as important a manner right here at h< me.

Recognized by all nations as safe from attack in time of war, and now the only means of car' ing for the sick and wounded soldiers, 1 and caring for those unprovided for ! by reasons of war, and recognized by the United States as the onlv means that exists to meet the requirements arising from war. WHAT IT DOES, k It cares for the pooi* and needy? i both in a devastated country and ; v/hen necessary cares for the families f of soldiers at the front. The sur geons, both army and volunteer, and nurses work through this organiza* i tion, just behind the firing line and } at the base hospital, to which the , wounded and sick are finally carried.

States there are now, in the beginning of the war, 10,000,000 women working voluntarily and patriotically, making everything r.eedCul for hospital uses. In every community, county village, town and city a brunch of the Red Cross exists,, all active according to- th.e interest aroused in this great work of necessity for those who are fighting and' being wounded and killed, and thai' cuntry m ;y still belong to its cit:e ns, and their life and property, etc. .'ifcguarded and perpetuated as they "'e?;n wise and proper.

Surgeons and nurse- are volunt^erini; by the thousand and are now in the trenches, and many are now trying to care for the wounded and dying. Our mun are now at the front, and each month wil! see large armies land in France. Our boys will be at the front, and very dollar supplied to thr RED CROSS may mean a life or limb spared that but for prompt act'on would have been lost. Every account of a battle?the Nft s;yht of even- soldier in uniform ? should ask the question?"Have we done our duty in providing for these n;"n.?our men who fight for us." It is estimated that it takes $20,00 to bring a wounded man off a battle field and get him well, and just how many $20.00 the RED CROSS has, just so many men they can promptly care for. No one can properly afford to give them a sum they will not feel. Think about your boy, or your neighbor's boy, who is or will surely U.. -X .1 la- ix\ tne iront, and then ask yourself if you will feel you have done right by him, or by your country not to respond. Contribute liberally and see that others do likewise. We mustvdoour \ duty and see to it that others do theirs, or make it known in plain terms that they are known and regarded as shirkers* The RED CROSS is the one means of those who cannot fight doing seme thing for those who are flighting, and the demand for this cause should find full response. ,
