NEW YORK, May 29. Owing to
the tremendous pressure on military
hospitals in France to eare for the
thousands of soldiers wounded in the
violent fighting now in progress
around Arras and in Champagne, all
available surgical dressing supplies
that can be spared are being sent to
France from tho workrooms of the
New York county chapter of the lied
Cross.
While, this special need lasts, and
perhaps for the entire war, the de
partments of foreign and American
military relief of the large workroom
maintained by the chapter at 4H
Fifth avenue have been merged. Thus
tho output of the 121)0 and more
vWkers there, amounting to more
thun 4ii, 000 dressings a week, will be
pooled for distribution at the discre
tion of the central committee of the
Red Cross. Whero gifts for designat
ed countries are received theso will
-continue to be applied as before.
Now 'serious the situation abroad
is, is shown by this bulletin that has
just been received by the American
Red Cross:
"For lack of sufficient dressings
the wounds of soldiers on the bal lie
fields of France arc now being stop
ped ill many cases with licwspnpcrs.
Rather than bleed to death on the bat
tlefield men run the terrible risk of
gangrene and other infection."
Twenty-two tons of supplies for
French and Belgian hospitals are in
cluded in a Red Cross shipment that
left an American port a few days ago.
Included in this shipment are 00,000
cans of condensed milk being sent
for the relief of undernourished chil
dren in the devastated regions of
France.
Another Red Cross shipment soon
to fcj, forward is an entire ambulance
unit given by the American Collon
Waste Exchange of Huston.
This unit consisls of 23 automo
bile ambulances, kitchen trailer-wagons
that can bo attached to the cars,
nnd the necessary supply trucks. The
entire unit will be manned by Amer
icans now abroad.

VAR1S, May 29. Tho decision of
tho French sociullst party to asso
ciate itself with the Russian socialists
who have called for a plenary confer
ence of tho International socialist or
ganization, has been communicated
formally to the council of workmen's
and soldiers' doputles in Petrograd..
Tho following telegram was sent to
the council today by M Moutet and
Caehin, the two Russian delegates
who were sent to Franco to explain
the Russian position:
"Wo announce to you with Joy that
in national council, after the explana
tions we havo given, tho socialist par
ty of France has unanimously accept
ed the Invitation we brought to take
part in tho international conference
convoked by tho Russian revolution
for the purpose of indicating the con
ditions of a democratic peaco upon
the basis fixed by you.
"Having faithfully and happily con
voyed your message to French social
ism, the latter assures you that it is
entirely with you against wars of im
perialism; for tho reconstltution of
the Internationale, for the defense of
tho rights of peoples and of the lib
erty of nations.
"We do not doubt that there will j
be a double effort on your side, of the
internationalists and military, which
can bring us to a common end."

fornians have the cold choice between
buying liberty bonds, oil which tile
government will pay principal ami in
terest, or paying for this war in ad
ditional taxes, Jacob Schiff, finan
cier, telegraphed from New York to
day. The offering of liberty bonds
he characterized as "an opportunity
such as lias never been offered to the
investor.''
The local liberty loan committee
expressed gratification over Sir.
Scbiff's statment, as coming from an
uiupiestioned authority and stating
an indisputable fact. While appeals
in California thus far have been
based almost wholly upon patriotism
even tile profitable commercial fea
tures of (he loan being subordinated,
surprise bus been manifested among
financial leaders that flu; public gen
erally seemed to consider they were
doing the government n fnvor in buy
ing interest bearing bonds. In the
(linion of financiers, the shoe is on
tile other foot.
The war must be paid for, and
those who prefer to pay it out in
taxes may have the chance. War
taxes, it was pointed out, are not
confined to real estate, hut bit every
body. The more bonds sold, the few
er taxes imposed, is ibe way it is put.
Dispatches reporting yesterday's
meeting of the French socialists said I
that tho French party also had decid
ed to send a delegation to Stockholm
to take part in preliminary conferences.

A seven-passenger Hudson Huper
Six broke the best record made up to
last summer, by nearly 2if days
from San Francisco to New York.
Then turned around and broke the
record from New York to San Fran
cisco. Tt completed tho round trip in
10 days and 21 hours over 7000 miles
including mountains and desert. And
thus twice won America's most covet
ed record in one continuous trip.
1819 Miles in 24 Hours.
Next to that, t,tie greatest official
endurance record is the 21-hour fop
sjM'cd run. A Hudson Super-Six
stock chassis, ran J,H1!) miles in that
time as far as from New York to
Denver. That broke tho best pre
vious stock chassis record by 52 per
cent.
Thene Testa Were Official.
Tiie 21-hour run, the 102 U mile
an hour speed, both made with stock
chassis, and the 100-mile and the one
hour stock car tests, ns well as many
others, were official.
They were made under the super
vision of the American Automobile

association. They mean more than
the speed records won more than
the best time regardless of size or
class in the Pike's Peak hill climb, by
a Hudson Super-Six Special, in which
20 racing cars participated. .
They Prove Endurance. ,
We made these tests just to prove
endurance. Nothing else is so im
portant to motor car owners. It is not
how well ft ear will run in. ordinary
use that counts. How long and how
little attention how free from me
chanical needs and excessive fuel and
lubrical ion charges, is the main thing.
These tests have demonstrated that'
measured by other standards, there is
a yet unknown limit to the enduranco
of a Hudson Super-Six.
What tin; Super-Six has proved, in
performance and endurance, has nev
er before? been done.
To make t he Hudson greater still,
we have added bodies, each of which
is a study in exquisite style. Kach is
distinctive and luxurious. , They
match in their way the unusual indi
viduality of the Hudson Super-Six
chassis.
The sales now show that Hudson is
conceded tho top place for fine cars
selling above $1100. No man can
reasonably dispute it. Any other car
will lose its attraction when you
match it or compare it with Hudson
Super-Six.
