ey EIGHT BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE ; WORLD IN BROIL UNTIL WILHELM IS DISPOSED OF Author of the Tragedy Must be Banished Before Settled Peace Can Come. RED CROSS BEHIND THE GUNS Organization Furnishes the Ne- cessities of War as Import- ant as Munitions. “There can be no peace on earth until the great destroyer has been de- stroyed,” declared Rev. J. T. Bergen, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Minneapolis, in concluding a rousing address to a fair-sized audience at the Auditorium on Friday evening on the work of the Red Cross. Dr. Bergen described the ruthful- ness, the vandalism, the brutish, bes- tial barbarity of the ravishing Hun; he told of the sacriligious rifling of holy sancturaries in the Church of the Nativity in Nazareth and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jer- usalem by “Christian Hun and Mos- lem Turk, leagued against humanity. “This may be true,” said Dr. Ber- gen. “They say it is true. We have no reason to doubt it. Worse things have been done. But these holy relics, whether they be diamonds or gold or precious stones, can not be compared to the life of one little Belgian baby nor to the honor of one humble Ar- menian woman.” The Sinews of War. The Red Cross, no less than the munitions facotry, is furnishing the sinews of war in this last great strug- gle with barbarism, said Dr. Bergen. It is sending men back to the fight- ing line healed; it is keeping them there sound in mind, fit to fight, be- cause they know that somewhere back of the lines the Red Cross is caring for their home and the wife and little ones. The Red Cross knows neither friend nor foe in its mission of mercy. It is the greatest benevo- lent institution in the world; the most efficiently organized and operated phil- anthropy in the world; the world’s one great humanizing influence to- day, when nations are at one anoth- er’s throats. The speaker told of the great fin- ancial geniuses, the captains of in- dustry and the giants of commerce who have laid down princely salaries to serve the Red Cross with not one penny’s: compensation. He told how these men have forgotten everything in their interest in this work, and what a wonderful thing they have made of the American Red Cross. Everyone’s War. He told of the young surgeons and physicians, sacrificing in the aggre- gate fifty million annually to serve their country on a lieutenant’s or cap- tain’s or major’s pay. He told of big men in every field of endeavor who have given over gain to the service of their country, “and yet,” said Dr. Bergen, “there are some who will say this) 1g-a rich man’s. war.’. My. testi- mony: is tonight, ‘This is not.a rich man’s war; there is no rich, no poor; no high, no low—it is a war for all America and for all the world.’” Dr. Bergen told of the solemnity of the east, to which the war is brought very near by the daily embarkation of boys in Khaki, “the finest body of troops the world has ever produced; going to France to consecrate their lives to the cause of democracy; go ing there with the pledge that so long as a single American soldier survives, the Hun will not advance his foot one step further on French soil.” He wondered whether we of the west, with our prosperity and our material comforts are not too indif- ferent; whether there is not need for a more thorough awakening. He urged that every citizen who remains here at home assume his share of the bur- den by placing his dollars and his hands and his energies at work with the Red Cross. Marks Makes Report. B. C. Marks, chairman of the Bur- leigh county chapter, preceded Dr. Bergen’s address with a brief report on what has been done since the or- ganization of the chapter. He told of the work of the civilian relief com- mittee, already called upon to bury the wife of one soldier in the great national army, and to furnish military aid to one select service man, return. ed from an operation at Camp Dodge with no immediate resources.

In the final report the grand jury censured the local police department for their failure to take action at the start of the riot. “It is the judgment of this body that had the proper ef- fort been made by the police depart- ment the disturbance would not have reached the proportions it did, and the unfortunate results were due in a large measure to the inaction of the police,” the report reads. Organized labor, as such, took no part in the disturbance so far as the evidence before the jury showed, the Eve, and which he asserted has cer- tainly placed this patriotic organiza: tion on the map and made Bismarck proud of its home defenders, Rev. H. C.

MILLIONS IN FOODS STOLEN FROM FINNS BY RUSSIAN RABBLE Starving Country Seeks Supplies and Ten Ships Go From United States. COUNTRY STRIPPED IN SUPPORT OF RUSSIA Washington, Dec. 22.—Permission for the shipment of about forty thous- and tons of corn and oats to Finland by way of Sweden has been granted by the food administration, and the war trade board, upon evidence that thousands of the Finnish people are starving. An agent of the war trade board will be sent into Finland from Sweden to investigate conditions and make certain that Germany will not benefit by the ‘Anterican shipments. 24 :Qats and Corn. Dr. Kaatle Ignatius, Special Com- missioner of Finland, already has ar- ranged for transportation, which will require about ten ships. He will get the oats and corn as rapidly as the cargoes can be loaded. In negotiating for the export per- mits, Dr. Ignatius told the American officials that his people were in a piti- able plight. A frost killed their crops RASH ON HANDS la summer, and the situation in Rus- sia has made it impossible for them to import food from that country, on which they ordinarily depended for half their supply. Twelve million dollars has been paid for food in Rus- sia which never was delivered, Dr. Ignatius said, because starving Rus- sians looted the trains before they could reach the Finnish border. impoverished to Bone. In addition to their famine, Dr. Ig- natius declared that in supporting Russia in the war his people had been stripped of raw materials for manu- facture, their industries had been dis- organized to turn out munitions, and their finances impoverished by the ITCHING INTENSE Also on Arms.
