Chairman Davison of the Red
Cross Council Says War Need
ed to Cleanse People of Am
erica From Selfishness
4
(BY THE UN'TED PRESS)
Washington.—lt took murder of ba
bies and women by Zeppelin bombs to
awake Great Britain to the fact that
Hhe was at war; what will it take to
awaken the American people from
their apathy to the fact that the Unit
ed States is now fighting for its ex
istence.
This was asked today by Henry P.
Davison, chairman of the Red Cross
war council, addressing the Washing
ton chapter of the Red Cross.
“What must happen to us we may
be awakened and purified?” he de
manded.
“I wish for no ill, but I hope and
pray that whatever may be needed to
arouns us toa sense of sacrifice and
cleanse us from our selfishness will
come to us.”
Spiritual Exultation.
(SY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
Washington.—Sacrifice which the
war will bring is needed by America
to lift its people to the spiritual exal
tation developed In European warring
nations. Henry P. Davison, chairman
of the Red Cross war council, told the
Washington chapter of the Red Cross
today.
”1 wish for no 111." he said, “but I
hope and pray that whatever may be
needed to arouse us to a sense of sac
rifice and cleanse us from our selfish
ness will come to us.”
Mr. Davison expressed doubt If more
than one per cent of all Americans
•realize that we hre today not only
fighting for the principles upon which
our republic was founded, but for our
very existence.” People of England
and France also were slow to change
their ideas early In the war, he said,
but now it seems as if their affection
and regard for mankind had immeas
urably increased. They seem to be
without malice or design, envy or
Jealousy, without sordid ambition to
be living on a higher and better plane.
"The process of fire which has thus
purified them has been for our account
as well as their own.
’ I hope yon will not think me an
idealist; 1 was never more practical
in rny thought. It Is perhaps an ap
preciation of this that has caused me
to go to the Red Cross.
"For I firmly owlieve that through
the Red Cross we cannot only render
a service to the people of our allies to
those who are today fighting for us,
but we can bring forcefully to our
own people a sense both of their obli
gation and of their opportunity, and I
am optimistic enough to believe that
the men and women of this country
will, in a not far distant day. rejoice in
sacrifice, In real sacrifice."

00R FOOJ 'DEBATE
Allies Admittedly Anxious As to
America’s Position in World
Food Problem. Naxt Cereal
Year Coming Rapidly.
(BY TUS UNITED PRESS.)
London.—England is following the
American senate debate on the food
bill with intense interest. The allies
are admittedly anxious as to America's
position In the food problem of the
world. That anxiety is demonstrated
every day. The Mail and Post today,
for instance, emphasizes the vital im
portance of early congressional action
so that the allies may know just how
far they can depend on America's as
sistance, and thus be able to frame
their own policies accordingly.
Allan Anderson, chairman of the al
lied wheat executive board, who ac
companied the Balfour misslop to the
United States thus summed ,up the
situation today for the United'press.
"I met many members of the Ameri
can grain trade and I believe they fully
realize the allies great need. I was
assured everywhere that private spec
ulation was no longer attractive and
that all desired to meet the crisis with
the least possible disturbance to trade
machinery. But how and when will
the problem of food control in the
United States is to be settled is still
obscure.
"America must settle matters in her
own way—but we who are depending
so much on the United States food
supply are anxiously awaiting the food
solution. Until then we may be unable
to map out a comprehensive program.
The next cereal year is now rapidly
approaching.”

M. A. Dunn, Incarcerated at
Jail, Receives Mysterious
Package
ATE OF SARDINES;
TAKEN VIOLENTLY ILL
Bishop Suffered Most. Dunn’s
Life Also Endangered. Other
Prisoner Slightly HI. Doctors
Worked Over Stricken Men
For Hours.
What appears to have been a plot to
kill one man. and which resulted in three
being affected, two of them almost to
the point of death, was enacted upon
three inmates of the Richmond county
jail a day or two ago.
The government officers have been
working on the case, and have reported
it to the district attorney. Mystery sur
rounds the affair as to yet.
The three men who were affected were
M. A. Dunn, incarcerated on the charge
of forgery; E. B. Carrier, held there on
a state charge, and Dr. St. Elmo Bishop,
recently committed to jail on the charge
of impersonating a government officer.
The story is this: Dunn received a
parcel post package from a point which
haR not yet been ascertained. Among
other things, the package contained two
cans of mustard sardines and some
crackers. Dunn divided the sardines
with Carrier and Bishop, his cellmates.
Carrier ate but a small amount of the
sardines, and Dunn and Bishop were not
so sparing. Bishop partaking of the
largest amoynt. In a short while Dunn
and Bishop were taken violently ill, and
Carrier slightly so. Medical aid was
summoned, and physicians worked over
Dunn and Bishop for several hours be
fore It was seen that tney would re
cover. One of the stricken men. real
izing how ill he was, summoned religious
counsel.
After several hours. the physicians
succeeded in bringing tne men past the
danger point.
Afterwards an examination was made
of the sardine cans. The officers say
that tiny holes had been punched through
each can. and believe that if poison was
the cause of the men’s Illness, which
seems to be the case, the poison was in
jected through these holea
Who sent the sardines^ 1 and whether
or not they were sent with a murderou#
intent, remains to be ferreted out.

TRIP TO FRONT IS
PERSHING'S DESIRE
(Continued from page one).
It is trying to make its quarters and
its comforts so seductive that the Amer
ican* will not be attracted by the bright
lights of Paris.
Further evidence of Pershing’s popu
larity in Paris, no less than the grati
tude of France toward America, occurred
today.
Street Choked.
A crowd kept gathering around the
American commander’s headquarters un
til the street was literally choked. Thev
cheered again and again, until Pershing
was finally induced to come to a bal
cony and voice his apprecaution. Then
the crowd threw flowers, waved flags
and redoubled its cheers in a veritable
pandemonium of sound.
This evening Pershing plans to journey
to the tomb of The Marquis de Lafay
ette and to place a wreath there, on the
grave of the French man who died so
much for America in the days of the
revolution.
