budgets—because the freest given.
What share is yours? What sacrifice to mobilize those
fighting Red Cross dollars?

for War Relief
The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organization
for the relief of suffering that the World has ever seen.
It is made up almost entirely of volunteer workers, the higher execu
tives being without exception men accustomed to large affairs, who are in al
most all cases giving their services without pay.
It is supported entirely by its membership fees and by voluntary con
tributions.
It is today bringing relief to buffering humanity, both military and civil,
in every war-torn allied country.
It plans tomorrow to help in the work of restoraton throughout the world
It feeds and clothes entire populations in times of great calamity.
It is there to help your soldier boy in his time of need.
Your Army, your Navy and your Allies enthusiastically endorse it.
With its thousands of workers, its tremendous stores and smooth run
ning transportation facilities, it is serving as America’s advance guard—and
thus helping to win th# war.
Congress authorizes it.
j President Wilson heads it.
The War Department audits its accounts.
I Twenty-two million Americans have joined it.

BEING IISEBIIT HOME
COPENHAGEN^ May 25.—Den
mark s stock of swine, which amount
ed to about 2,500,000 head at the out
break of the war, has now dropped to
400,000, according to latest estimates.
Further serious inroads on this stock
are being compelled by the impossibil
ity of importing fodder, principally
corn. In 1913 Denmark's total exports
of. pork were nearly 250,000 tons, of
which just under one-half went to
England. All exports have now been
stopped, and the outlook for supply
ing the domestic consumption’s re
quirements will be dark if the war
continues much longer.

i SURRENDER DF GERMANS
IS PURELY ACCIDENTAL
i LONDON, May 25.—Surrender of a
j German force of 3,000 men in East
j Africa was due to the chance drop
j ping of a number of bombs by a Rrit
I ish airman, according to a report from
| Capetown, which says:
“An officer of the flying corps was
out on reconnaisance in the region of
j tho Rovuma river, but found nothing
to bomb. Being forced to discharge
j his cargo of bombs to lighten his ma
I chine for the homeward trip, he chose
; a quiet spot and dropped them all,
I causing, of course, considerable noise.
“The German general, Tafel, was at
j the time marching to join his chief,
j Von Lettow, but news of the explo
I sions was reported to him, and he,
! thinking a large force of the enemy
| must be somewhere in the district,
I diverted his line of march and before
! long bumped into a British force.
“Ultimately his whole force, 3,000
{ strong, surrendered.”
