tanned the members of the University
Club last night with a number of his
poems and tales of his experiences among
the people of the northern mountains Of
Georgia. For more than an hour his
audience, which filled the club reception
room, listened with close attention to
Mr. Hills, who mingled humor and pathos
in his anecdotes in rapid succession.
Mr.. Hills gave his experiences in a
mountain school and initiated both boys
and girls in their recitations of poems
which he himself had written, and essays
of their own composition. :. poem on the
Blue and the Gray" written by himself,
was heartily applauded. Mr.. Hills served
in a Federal cavalry regiment for three
wears during the civil war, although
when the war ended he was not yet of
voting age, and he bore personal testi-
mony to the gallantry of the Confeder-

Would Avoid Implications.

Miss Boardman is particularly anxious
that there shall not be established a
number of agencies in this country for
the purpose of sending money abroad to
alleviate suffering during this war. She
stated last night that the American Red
Cross has found that such duplication of
forwarding agencies only creates con-
fusion.
1t is highly desirable Miss Boardman
pointed out, that all funds or contribu-
tions received from Americans should be
sent through the American Red Cross.
They can be specially designated for any
country the contributor may desire. One
fact that should remain pre-eminent in
the minds of all contributors is that the
Red Cross stands for neutrality and
humanity; that its duty is to the sick
and wounded. irrespective of country or
race: that wherever there is the greatest
suffering and the greatest number of sick
and wounded there is the greatest need.
1T would be unfortunate If, because of
many temporary organizations or Dy
action of individuals who seek an occa-
sion like this for making money. as has
been attempted. the appeal for assistance
in this country which has been made
should meet with but scattering response.
The officers of the American Red Cross
cannot too earnestly urge that there
should be but one channel through which
all funds should be forwarded, and that
is the American Red Cross
