Manager Stimpson announces the
appointment of Arthur B. Grindell.
well known newspaper man in Seat
tle. as director of publicity for the
Northwestern division of the Ameri
can Red Cross.
Mr. Grindell has assumed his duties
and will at once set about co-ordinat
ing and unifying the publicity work of
the division. Several numbers of the
new division Red Cross Bulletin have
already made their appearance, and
give promise of filling an importanl
place in the activities of the varlom
chapters.
Ow'ing to repeated requests mad<
to the Red Cross to handle particu
lar shipments for particular individ
tials, Manager Stimson of the North
west division has found it advisable t<
issue to chapters the following lettei
which speaks for itself:
“To all chapters of the Northwester
Division:
'As we are continually being askei
if the Red Cross can handle shii
tnents to designated consignees i
France, we think it advisable to nc
tify all chapters fully in this regard
“For many reasons, which includ
transportation difficulties both tram
atlantic and in France, the Red Cros
cannot, at least during the preser
crisis, accept shipments for designate
consignees in France other than thos
organizations with which we have
made co-operative arrangements to
distribute supplies under the direc
tion of the Red Cross, thus becoming
a part of the Red Cross organization
and obviating the possibility of dupli
cation and wasted effort,
"Such co-operative arrangements in
France have been made with the fol
lowing organizations:
“1. Military Hospital No. 1 (hereto
! fore known as American Ambulance).
"2. Military Hospital No. 2 (here
tofore known at Blake Hospital).
"3. American Distribution Service.
“4. Surgical Dressings Committee.
“5. American Fund for French
Wounded.
“6. Friends’ Unit.
“7. Dr. Fetch Hospital.
“8. Mrs. Park's Hospital at Annel.
"Therefore, any shipments of stand
, ard supplies ordered for the above
1 ns^ed organizations may be accepted
I and forwarded to warehouses for ex
' port by the Red Cross.
•| “As we are at present unable to
obtain sufficient transportaiion and
■| other accommodations for the hand
>; ling of our own vitally needed goods
• ordered by our foreign commissions.
| we cannot accept shipments to desig
1 natcd individuals other than those or
| ganizations listed above.
1' "Our inability to accept such ship
-j ments does not mean, of course, thai
i thev cannot he sent to France, as
- there are regular shipping channel!
open to everyone, although possibly
s somewhat limited at this time.
;- “it is much to be desired that those
s offering shipments of suppliei
t through the Red Cross for designate!
i hospitals, orphanages, etc., in Franc
e should turn their contributions ove
to the Red Cross to he distributed at
its discretion; and write to their hos
pital or orphanage in France to make
application to the American Red Cross
for France and Belgium in Paris for
a supply of needed articles.
“We cannot too strongly urge sin
cere and sympathetic co-operation of
everyone in the Red Cross in explain
ing this situation fully to inquirers.
"C. D. STIMSON,
“Manager Northwest Division.”

(By Associated Press 1
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.—The Ger
i man people now are being told that
the United States went into the war,
not to make the world safe for dem
ocracy, but in order that American
capitalists might acquire the potash
mines of Alsace.
Professor Roth of Greifswald uni
versity, in an article in the Vossische
| Zeitung, says: “American troops, we
hear, are now occupying a portion of
the French front. It is quite possible
that they will soon appear along the
Rhine-Rhone canal, in order to estab
lish American claims to the potash
j mines there, seeing that America's
■ peaceful designs on our potash in
i 1909-10 (by purchase) were defeated
1 by the passage of the German potash
5 law, which prohibits foreign owner
■ ship.
"Along with coal and iron, potash is •
Germany's strongest weapon, and ii
the best of it should be taken away
from her, she would be deprived of
the best economic club she can wield
against the United States. Without the
250,000 tons of potash fertilizer which
the Americans annually import from
Germany in peace time, their cotton,
tobacco, sugar and fruit crops would
be perpeutal jeopardy. So it is neces
sary that our world monopoly in pot-,
ash scould remain intact. It will en-i
able us to demand in exchange cer
tain raw materials from our present
woes. Our watchword must be: Not
one inch of potash-bearing soil to the
enemy.”
