CUBAN RED CROSS TO
; FINAKGEJ10SPITAL
One-Hundred Bed Unit Manned
by Cuban Physicians and
, Nurses to Be Sent to
Western Front.
Havana, Oct. 13. The Cuban Red
, Cross Society, of which Mme. Mariana
" Menocal, wife of the president of
'Cuba,1 is chiirman, has begun the work
;of equipping a 100-bed hospital unit,
manned by a staff of Cuban physicians
;and nurses, for active service on the
! western frunt in France. This enter
. prise, which will reach completion at
. an early date, is to. be financed by a
fund of $1,000,000, which Cuban wom
en prominent in society here have set
"themselves out to raise. .
' Announcement of the plans of the
"Cuban Red Cross followed a special
"meeting in the presidential pal
ace here, presided over by .the wie
.of the president and attended by all
the Cuban Red Cross directors, and
representatives of -"various govern
ment departments and Cuban press.
Unit Will Be Ready Soon.
The encouragement the Red - Cross
lias received from capitalists through
out the island republic and the prog
ress made, in assembling ofeqiiippage
'and the training of volunteer workers,
lead, the Red Cross workers to be
lieve .that before the fund has been
completed the unit will be ready for
service. . Cq-operation, which was re
cently inaugurated between the Cuban
and American Red Cross officials, has
helped to make the Cuban unit pos
sible. p - - - y . ,
) Wit upward of $100,000 already' in
hand, in advance of the canvass for
the $1,000,000 fund, various steps,
some of them unusual in this .con
nection, are being utilized to' bring
the fund to a quick completion. Each
. sugar "ingsnio," or plantation mill in
-Cuba has been asked to set aside
$1,000 for the Red . Cross and many
of them already have done so.
J' Will Have, National Tat; Day.
';A national Red Cross "tag day," to
, be observed in all parts of the repub
lic, is likewise planned, and, accord
ing to the announcement of Mme,
Menocal, workrooms have already
been opened. In the old Havana post
office a complete Red Cross workshop
' is in operation with electrically oper
ated sewing machines donated by
Mme. Menocal and Senora Blanca de
Marti, wife of the Cubaii minister of
war and navy. 1 ' ,". .
,' Representatives of the Cuban press
have donated space for the entcrprjse,
and today the Red Cross flag in this
city is almost as familiar as the na
tional " colors. Instruction in the
making of Red Cross material is being
supervised oy Mrs. canton iv Aear,
wife of the United States naval at
tache here, and Mrs. W. G. Ames of
the Havana branch of the American
Red Cross. - . u X 'f
Reading Matter Wanted
; For Boys at Camp Funston
In spite of repeated requests very
few magazines and reading matter
nave been sent to tne-boys in tram
. ing at Qamp Funston. Cut off from
the usual conveniences and amuse
ments of home, they (find. the. dearth
of reading matter a real hardship.
'For goodness sake, folks, send down
some newspapers and, magazines and
any thing, you can think of," wrote
Sergeant Kenneth, Hitch early in the
week. ' ' :-
Today The Bee has received re
quest from the librarian of the camp
asking that, oar readers be urged to
scud last month's magazines P. D. Q.
to the following addresses: "Librarian
of Headquarters company. 304th F. A.
. N. A., Camp Funstoii," or "The Y. M,
C, A. No. 9, Camp Funston, .Kan
sas." .'V- W;,. ',. .
The postage expense is small and
the boys; feel that this is one thing
. that the" "home; folks" can " very
, easily do ior the men in training. "Do
it now," is the motto they suggest. ,

Deny Secret Agreement to
Export Ire1 to Germany
Stockholm, Oct. 13. Statements
from Washington alleging the exist
ence of a secrer agreement under
which Sweden is obliged 'to export
iron ore to Germany caused surprise
here, but the Associated Press was
informed today that no such agree
ment exists. The only agreements af
fecting iron ore have been published
and none specify any particular coun
try to which the ore may be exported.
The Graengesberg company, which
controls virtually the whole bwedish
iron and steel trade, has an agreement
with the Sveuish government speci
fying the amount of ore the company
is permitted to export. M. Alillner,
director of the GraenResberg .com-
pany, said to the correspondent today,
" "There are many reasons why we
cannot discontinue exporting ore to
Germany. They are sound business
and economic reasons, utterly uncon
nected with political questions or
sympathies with one or the other bel
ligerents.
French Diplomacy
Defended by Briand
Paris, Friday, Oct. 12. The diplo
macy of France was defended elo
nuentlv bv former Premier Briand in
the Chamber of Deputies today dur
ing an interpellation on rrencn diplo
matic action during the war. M.
Rriaml said that the work of French
diplomats must be judged by the re
sults of Germany s uitra-moaern di
plomacy, which has brought the brand
nt Infimv nn that ronntrv's Cnod
name. After Great Britain and Italy
had taken their place beside France
there had come Japan, Roumania,
"the great and noble country, the
United States," and almost every
country in the world.
"Ask America about our diplomatic
action," declared the former premier.
"I defy you to find anything humiliat
ing being said about France."
New Cabinet Named in
Chile to Succeed Old
Santiago, Chile, Oct. 13. A new

Claude Piersol on
, Stand in Own Behalf
Marsiifield, Mo., Oct. 13. Claude
Piersol, defendant in the Keet abduc
tion trial, testified in his own behalf
today. He swore that he had noth
ing whatever to do with kidnaping
Baby Keet and had not heard of the
kidnaping until he read of it in a i
newspap.. . !
Piersol identified the letters he had
written tc Taylor Adams m Kansas
City. He declared the sentence in
one of them, "I made the ded I was
talking to you about," referred to a
job as doorkeeper in Federal Judge
Landis' court, Chicago, that a sup
posed government agent had obtained
for him. He said he did not write
the Keet ransom letters. He told of
visiting the Austro-Hungaritn con
sul's office in St. Louis in 1916. He
said he left there, for approval, arti
cles to be "published in a St. Louis
paper on 'the subject of neutrality
and the .ttitude of the German
Americans in this country. There
was nothing treasonable in these arti
cles, he said. He said he had never
acted as a German spy nor "thought
of such a th'.ig."
