Illinois, Minnesota and the northern

The Liberty Issn headquarters
wss crowded yesterday afternoon at
4:30 to "overflowing by large crowd
of women and some men to hear
Mrs. Harold R. Test for nearly an
eh our tell of the war conditions in
England, France and Helgium, and
the work of the Red Cross and its
part in the war.
Mrs. Test spoke on the spirit of
the Red Cross and told how thousands
of school and college girls and others
untrained enlisted under the banner
of the Red Cross, hinking to nurse
a wounded or sick soldier consisted i
of smoothing his brow and singing
him to sloep. But instead they were J
put to washing dressings, scrubbing i
floors, etc.

of woman's site is now msde snd used
in factories. Women endure because
of the atrocities of the Huns com
mitted upon their men, women, and
children. She says the women will
endure till 1930 if the war lasU
that long.
Mrs. 1'eat told of the Zeppelin
raids she witnessed in London, and
ays that these raids do not fright
en anyone, bu instend arouse great
en anyone, but instead arouse great
to greater efforts.
Here Mrs. I eat told of the mental
attitude of the llritish and how slow
they are to put their trut in any
body but now they have tested and
tried the good United States and have
put their trust, in Uncle Sam.
When the dermans hegnn the use
of gns on the allied soldiers. Kngland
saw tho need of renpimtor. It wss
explained how the ' newspapers used
a sketch of how these were made
and as if by magic 3.000,000 respira
tors were delivered to the srmy offi
cials by the good women of KnKlaad.
The Ilriti h women have learned
concentration of effort; conserva
ion of food, money, an J children;

have forgotten the sorrow of giving
up their boys snd every dsy at noon

one earnest, fervent, and united
nraver for tho boys at the front.
She says the women of Kngland pray
and nrav every day.
The boy that goes to the front
will not come back, ssys Mrs. 1'eat.
That is he will not come back as a boy
but will come back a man.
Those who failed to hear Mrs.
Teat missed a rare treat, especially
at this auspicious time. Mrs. I'eat
is llio w.le of 'Tr.vule 1 eat wlio lec

dark hair, blue eyes and rosy cheeks.
She is quite pretty and a fluent and
