Besides) it has sent representatives to Serbia, Denmark and Madeira. . More than 5,000 Americans will be working under, the Red Cross in France by-January 1, next. > These, facts Were laid , before the 3,S54 chapters of the Red Cross;in the annual: message- of the War Council of the Red Cross when the chapters throughout the..country held... their annual meetings to elect officers. Announcement was made in thej message that every man, woman andj child in the United States would be asked at- Christmas time to enroll in the .American Red Cross. Trie message, : signed by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council, said in part: "Since-rthe beginning of the war, you of the chapters have co-operated j with the War Council; in conducting ] two war fund drives and one mem bership drive, in addition to the cam paign in behalf of : the Junior Red Cross. The; total- actual collections to date from, the first, war . fund:, have amounted- to upwards; of $176,000, 00ft; From membership dues the col lections^ have amounted to - approxi mately $24*500,000. ^?fEer the foregoing must be added that .very large-, contribution of ma terials- and time given by the millions j of women throughout - the country;: For the period up to: July 1, 1918, American Red; Cross chapters, through ?eir workrooms hadrproduced 400, i?o, retagem'ga^menl^i 7,123,621 hos p?ai supplies; 10578^,480 hospital garr meats; 10,134,501. knitted > articles, j 195,748,107; suirgieal ;dressings; a to tal of 22J?2fc2;83S- article**?-of an' ear l timated ag|*re^ate value e? at least j f44,M0v000w.

"Under your Commission to France) the work has been carefully organ ized, facilities have been -provided, and effective efforts made to so co operate with the army as to carry out I the determination of the American! people, and especially of the mem bers of the Red Cross, that our boys J "over there" shall lack for nothing which may add to their safety, com. fort and happiness. I "Your Red Cross now has active, operating commissions in France, in England*- in Italy, in Belgium, in Switzerland, in Palestine and in Greece. You have sent a shipload of j relief supplies and a group of devot ed workers to northern- Russia; you have despatched a- commission to work behind our armies in eastern j Siberia; you have sent special repre sentatives . to Denmark, to-Serbia and to the Island of Maderia. "Your Red Cross is thus extending relief to the:.armi.es and navies of our allies. We - are told by;those best in formed in the countries of, our allies that the efforts of your Red Cross to aid the soldiers and- to sustain the morale of the.civilian populations left at home, especially in .France and It aly, have constituted a very real fac-j tor in winning the war. "What the Red Cross may be call ed upon to do in the further course | of the war, or with the coming, of vic: tory, peace and reconstruction, it would be idle to attempt to prophesy.

Rosevelt, Lodge and Others Called for Victory at Polls at Close of Spanish War.-. Washington, Oct. 27.?Secretary Tumulty tonight made public a letter he has written at President Wilson's direction to the Cuyahoga County Re publican committee \ at Cleveland, Ohio, in which he replies to protests against President Wilson's appeal to the country to return a Democratic congress by recalling quotations from utterances by Colonel. Roosevelt, Former President Harrison, Senators Lodge and- Penrose, and Former Sen ator Foraker in the campaign of 1898 at the close of the Spanish war. The Cuyahoga County committee telegraphed th* White House taking issue with the . president's statement Secretary Tumulty, writing at the president's direction, simply com mended the statements he quoted and also various editorials appearing at the time in leading Republican newspapers' to the committee's con sideration without comment. . The first-quotation was from Col. Roosevelt, identified as Republican candidate for governor of New York in 1898: "Remember that whether you will it or not, your votes this year will be viewed by the nations, of Europe from one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctions. A refusal to sustain the president this year will, in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and; to sustain the ef forts of our . peace commission to se cure .the fruits of war. Such a refusal may not inconceivably bring about a rupture of, the peace negotiations. It will give heart to our defeated antag onists; it will make, possible the in terference of those doubtful neutral nations who in this struggle have wished us ill. : "You tjouiS get the benefits of the victories, of Grant-and Sherman only by reelecting Lincoln and we will gain less than we ought from the war if the administration is: not sustain ed at these elections.'1 f From . Former President Harrison, pleading for the election of a Repubr lican congress: . "If the word goes forth that the people of the United States are standing solidly behind the president the task of the peace commissioners will be iia&y, but If there is a break hi the rsinks?-if the Democrats score a telling victory, if Democratic sena tors,' congressmen and governors are elected?* Spain will see m ffc a gleam of hope; she will take a fresh hope and renewal of hostilities, more war may be necessary to secure to us what we haye: already won/* From. Senator Lodjger "But tliere is ] one question on which I wish to say a few words and that seems to me 'to'Override all othera It is .whether we1 shall stand by the admlnstration and the president at this juncture. If we give a victory to his political-opr ponents, we say not only to the United States, but we say to the world, w? say to the Spanish commissioners in Paris,- that the people of the United States repudiate its result and repu diate thb man who has led victorious in the war and is now leading us back to peace?William McKinley." From Senator Penrose: *Tn his re cent speeches the president has ap pealed not to a partisan but to a nat ional spirit > * * He wants Pennsyl vania to remain the Keystone State for the Republican^ party. It is 'diflU culft to overestimate the supreme Im portance of sustainIng the president of.^tne United States and the Repuh? lican party at the present critical cri sis in *ur foreign relations." From Senator Foraker: , "The war came while a Republican administra tion was m power and-must now be tiled by that administration. I do t .believe any fair minded Demo would question the.fitness of the blican party for the discharge ol >duty, but however: it might be herwise the work is already in the nds of President' McKinley. ??
