recently. one OF the most interesting
series shows the work which IS being
done by the Red Cross Society OF Der.
lin. The pictures were all taken In
woods and fields near the city, and are
peculiar because. despite the name OF
the organization, the scenes are OF
peace and not OF war. The society has
established many rest and recreation
places for invalids and convalescents,
and at these places the pictures were
made. Great rows Of weak and amaze
mic chilrden are seen reclining at rest
In comfortable chairs in pine grove;
another picture shows hundreds OF
children playing under the trees. and
another--also woodland scene
shows a long row of men waiting to
receive midday meal at the Red

men and won}eh playing croquet and
tennis and children making and at

the scenes which show the peace work
OF the society.

right.
His criticism of mechanical promo

At the same time there are thousands
of his fellow-countrymen who believe
that the President did many loyal
and patriotic men great wrong
when he boosted his friend Wood
over the heads of proved, able. and
educated fighters. That piece Of rad
icalism may have the effect OF hold
ing back needed reform many years.
The call for an increased Navy
ought to be listened to with more
consideration than when ours was a
Navy in port and the people knew
little of 1t or of its relation with 9TH

No one will dispute the President
that the world-tour of the battleshir

of our history.
