entered the war for humanitys sake and whose
most faithful servants soldiers are.
Never perhaps has n generous and sympa'
thetic nation responded more promptly and cf'i-
cicn,ly 10 such a call than this one did. Quickly
as the two hundred thousand volunteers
thronged 10 the front. the many more than two
hundred thousand women and men joined hands
in work for their health and comfort. In city
and town and village there sprang into being
Red Cross societies and anxIliarcs. Women

for providing and maintaining trained nurses,
furnishing medicines Ice. clothing and appetlz-
ing food and in general doing all that gentle
non combatants can do 10 encourage their cham
pions IN the field and to care for those who are
stricken in the strife. The work thus done has
been vast In volume. and In practical efficiency
ard benefit above all estimation
But now that "the tumult and the shouting
dies" and the fierce inspiration OF triumphant
strife Is ended. this work must rot yet lapse.
