Ending three years of work as county home demonstration agent, Miss Ethel Richert has resigned to accept the post of- expert in charge of demonstration of food and hy giene at Salt Lake City.- , Washington, Nov. 10. President Harding aiked tht American people to give their liberal support to the annual campaign of the Red Cross for relief contributions which begins Armistice day and continues two weeks. The call of the Red Cross, he said in a statement, should be re garded as "the call of country and humanity." He set aside Sunday next as "Red Cross Sunday" and re quested that churches devote that uay to emphasizing "the gospel of Krvice." ' ' Mr. Harding's statement follows: To the American People: As pres ident of the United States and presi dent of the Red Cross, I announce that the Red Cross annual roll call will begin Armistice day November 11 and continue through Thanksgiving day, November 24, and I designate November 13, as Red Cross Sunday. "I recommend ministers , and priests to stress the gospel ot ser vice November 13, and 1 invite and urge my fellow citizens to accept the period of the roll call as an occa sion for rededication of themselves to he principles and practice of ser vice. The American Red Cross is both the volunteer and semi-official medium through which our people may appropriately express their pa triotic and humane desires to render practical assistance to their soldiers arid sailors, to their fellow citizens in civilian life, and to those peoples of other lands who have a human claim on the sympathetic concern of our own people. , the American Ked Cross has kept faith with the principles which gave it birth and with the obliga tions- laid upon it by congressional charter 'to act in matters of volun tary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States and their army and navy.' After a net able ; war servfce it, 'in conjunc tion with the Veterans' bureau apd other activities, stands by our veter ans and their .families in a period of painful reconstruction, in which, as too many of us have been prone to forget, thousands are in pressing need, not only of governmental at teotion and assistance, but also of those supplementary acts of human kindness which only volunteer mercv can suunlv. "By systematic and scientific plans and equipment for relief from dis aster, and by prompt response to many urgent calls throughout the last year, the American Red Cross has fulfilled another requirement of its congressional charter 'to continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and to apply the same in miti gating sufferings caused by pesti lence, famine, tire, floods and other great calamities. Aiding Children. "After liquidating its obligations of general relief to peoples of other lands who were associated with us in the war. it has concentrated its for eign efforts on a program for the medical relief of children in central Europe, and from funds made avail able last year, it continues this work and also contributes trom its medical and hospital' supplies for the work of relief in Russia. "As a result of vast and varied ex- perience during the war, the Ameri can Red Cross has devised and put in operation, an extensive domestic health and welfare program where by our American communities arc instructed and directed . in the solu tion of those community problems upon which the public will ultimately rest. "it is a fundamental principle of the Ked Cross not to duplicate but to supplant efforts of governmental and other agencies in the mitigation and alleviation of human suffering and to supply means thereto where other agencies do not exist. The call of the American Red Cross is the call of country and humanity; and l earnestly urge my fellow citi zens to make that - response which satisfies the promptings of a gener ous people." . v Long Jail Term 4 For Moonshiner Judge Stauffer of Omaha Sen tences Box Butte County Man ' To Serve Year in Prison.

"Instantly Shot," Ex-Soldier Says Representative Johnson Denies Men Hanged Without Trial As Charged by Sen - ator Watson. Washington, Nov. , 10. Traitors, cowards, enemy spies or those who were mentally unfit for front line duty in the American Expeditionary Forces in France were "instantly shot" in some instances, according to Representative Johnson of South Dakota, in a speech in the house yesterday.

No Men Hanged. "I can say unreservedly that I know that no American soldier in France was ever hanged upon a scaffold without a trial and convic tion by a1 court-martial," said Mr. Johnson. ''No American soldier was ever shot 'in 'France unless at the front, in the face of the enemy and actually fighting, and then by those who were with htm and knew him to be a traitor, coward or an enemy spy. "Although never in my pretence, nevertheless' I believe I know that traitors, coward or enemy spies or these who were mentally unlit for front line duty have been instantly shot. Only divine providence can determine to what das they be long." "Does the gentleman mean to say that under any circumstances where men at the front line became de ranged or something of that sort. they were shot by their own men?" interrupted Representative Raeburn of Icxai. "I was trying to indicate to the house in very careful language," Mr, Johnson replied, "that it seems to be well understood among many members of the, A. E. F. that men who have been mentally deranged as I say and the Divine Providence onty knows men who may have been . cowards nobody can tell were undoubtedly shot in the front line." . "By whom?" asked Mr. Montague or Virginia. ay men ot their own com mands, answered Mr. Johnson. . City of Rome Isolated ' By General Labor Strike Rome, Nov. 10. (By The Asso ciated Press.)
