THE PEACE TRIP AND THE PRESS
The best thing we’ve seen emanat-
ing from the Ford peace expedition is
tho “confession of faith" drawn up at
Christiania by the American
puper correspondents who went along.

BLOGKADan THE RED CROSS.
Great Britain seems to have reach
ed the limit in the way of war hldcb
odes when she forbids the shipment
iothospltal supplies from the United.
States to Germany. Austria. ‘Bulzario‘
and Turkey. The “Red Cross Society
has a large quantity of supplies gith-
ered in New York. but has been on"
able to forward [them Muse the
British government in spite of formal
denials, has prevented this shipment.
This action is contrary to the agree-
ment made between the belligerents
shortly Bile?- the beginning of the
war, ln‘whlch it was determined that.
medical stores should he allowed to.
pass freely into all countries.
The need of rubber gloves for the
use of physicians and nurses is es-
pecially serious. A German nurse re-
cently died of an infection received
from treating a wounded soldier with-
out gloves. The scarcity of crude rub-
ber in Germany and Austria has made
it impossible to keep up the supply.
England insists that she can't afford
to let rubber gloves enter the enemy's
country because that would release
an equivalent quantity of rubber for
making automobile tires and other‘
war materials. But even if any uppre-'
ciable difference could be made in
this great war by the quantity of run
ber required for surgical gloves in the
military hospitals, it’s hard
how any civilised nation can
tion so brutal a policy.
We have ceased to expect chivalry
in this war. but this is going too far.
Refusing medical supplies to the en-
emy is as bad in shooting wounded
