Adv Paris, Feb. 12. iWhen the trial of Bolo Pasha for treason was re sumed Monday, his brother, Mon signor Bolo, prominent as a pulpit orator, took the stand in his behalf. He declared at the. outset that he was a patriot first "of all, and was defending his brother because of the convinction that he was insane. Mon.signor Bolo's testimony was more in the nature of a pleading than a deposition. He reviewed the entire case. Speaking of the prisoner's journey to Switzerland, he expressed the opinion that Bolo Pasha's purpose in going to see the former khedive, Abbas Hilmi, was to win him over 'to the side of the allies. The prelate ridiculed the idea that a man so wise in the ways of the world and so cynically clever as Count von Bernstorff, former German am!issa(Ur at Wlishingtom, , could, have mistaken Bolo Pashia for an important political personage. The witness scoffed at the idea that any of the references in Count von Bcrnstorff's telegrams to Berlin were to the prisoner. The spectators, who have been hos tile to the prisoner throughout the trial, appeared - to be impressed by the eloquent plea of his brother, who drove home point after point, em phasizing them by striking xae ran I of the witness stand with his fist. tttttt Society i8tt:nmmmmtuntnnim Miss Pruitt Hosted On Monday afternoon the Y.

Bost Everybody knits but father and he winds yarn all day, Forming the big balls swiftly that knit so slow away; Mother casts on stitches, for she can do it right; Then everybody knits at our house, morning, noon and night. Luck knits a sweater as she walks around, Using, (per instructions) five-eighths of a pound; Annie knits the wristlets, for she can quickly purl, "Knit too, purl too" always a most industrious girl. Nancy knits the mufflers, the eas iest work of all, The work that is best suited to one so young and small; Carrie knits the helmets and won ders who they'll fit, And hopes they're not mistaken for a glove or mitt4 Peggy knits a wash cloth, she knits one in a day, While her thoughts are wandering many miles away; Mother does the "binding" and knits the well shaped socks, Then all are sent together in the Red Cross box. No one has time for cooking, no one has time to eat, No one has time to visit or gad upon the street; Everybody knits at our house be cause we think it right, Everybody knits at our house morn ing, noon and night. NEWTON MAN SAFE, HIS MOTHER HAS LEARNED To the School Children of the United States: A Proclamation The President of the United States is also President of the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time when so many of you are beginning the school year. , The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Membership with School Activities in which every pupil in the United States can find a chance to serve our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. s Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service to your community and to other communities all over the world and guide your service with high and religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that suffer ing children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare some of the supplies which wound ed soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross Bulletins the thrilling stories of re lief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things under your teacher's direction to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love. And I commend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your co-operation, knowing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs ? (Signed) WOODROW WILSON, President September 15, 1917. a m ff m m m m m m m m 1 m m m m m m m Pi m 81 m ' 13 m m is m m m m m m M m m m m m m m EaaaannnanaaaEKananHBsannag It Of the Junior Membership of the Red Cross, Mr. Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross, said : "I believe a program has been made out here which is the most important single movement that was ever started in America for the protection of the American public and the future of the people. "When I was talking with the President about the pro gram I then said that I believed that nothing in the Red Cross was as important as the Junior Membership work, and that alone from the standpoint of our own people." m they recognize the part that clothes play. The recruit soon learns tnat to be a soldier he must look a soldier trim, smart, well set up. In Business life-" the same thing holds true. If yu would attain success -you must look successful.

Mrs. L. T. White Newton has received a mes sage from her brother, Dr. J. R. Bost, saying that he was aboard the ill-fated Tuscania which was torpe doed last week by a German subma rine.

Open proph esy that Hindenburg would undertake a great general offensive in the west this spring in an endeavor to crush the British, French and American armies and end the war, was made in a public lecture by Major von 01 herg, of the German general staff, before the German Colonial society at Berlin last month. According to an account of his ad dress, printed in German papers which have reached here, Major von Olberg said that as 1917 had been the "year of revenge," 1918 would be the "year of decision." Germans were to turn their eyes and hearts to the west front from Flanders to Venetia, ignoring the peace negotiations in the east, the outcome of ' which was "militarily without importance." "Today," said Major Von Olberg, "our back is free and we have the reserve which we lacked in 1914, when we had to defend east Prussia against the Russians. The great offensive can now start, and then God help Albion!" Von Olberg, who was speaking -officially, as head of one of the de partments of the war press office, did not say explicitly, however, that the principal blow would be delivered against the British forces, declaring that Hindenburg could be trusted to select the proper place for the offensive. Under the slogan "Every School a Red Cross Auxiliary and Center for National Service," the Junior Red Cross has perfected plans for the en rollment of every school child in the United States as a member of a Red Cross Auxiliary, the date of the cam paign being from Lincoln's birthday, February 12, to Washington's birth day, February 22. The Junior Red Cross is a branch of the American Red Cross through which every school in America is giv en the opportunity to carry on author ized Red Cross work by forming a School Auxiliary, upon the payment of twenty-five cents membership fee for each pupil enrolled in the school or by a pledge of satisfactory service in Red Cross work. It is the only agency which is approved by school authorities to enlist the children in patriotic work during the war. All other organizations must work through the medium of the Junior Red Cross, whose services have already been re quested by the United States Food Administration and by the War Sav ings Stamp Committee, of which Frank A. Vanderlip is chairman. The schools, however, are not the only units in which School Auxiliaries may be formed. The other educational units which have been recognized as suitable centers in which to organize Junior Red Cross work are Agricul tural Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Night Schools, Sunday School classes and such authorized educa tional centers as may be properly or ganized under the supervision of th local representatives of the Red Cross Chapter. The United States Department of Agriculture has already offered to use the Agricultural Clubs for Junior Red Cross work. Every child who is en rolled in a School Auxiliary is entitled to wear a Red Cross pin, although not considered a regular member of the Red Cross. Conference at Washington.
