Red Cross Funds Small

Red Cross Funds Small
M lSS MABEL BOARDMAN, active head Of
1FA the Red Cross Society, is quoted as
expressing establishment "at the small re-
Spouse to our call for money in this Euro
pcan war calamity" The Mississippi floods
brought 100000, she points out: the Mes
sna disaster about $1,000 900; the Salem
fire about 100000, and the Dayton floods a
large amount. But for the European war.
up to the present time, there is only $780,
600.
Miss Boardman does not express an opin-
ion as to the reason for this lack OF response
III the present crisis, but the figures she
quotes show conclusively that it is not a
lack OF generous and humane feeling on the
part OF American people. Humanity of a
few years ago is the humanity of to-day
and If the people of the United States gave
then and do not give now, the reason must
be sought elsewhere than in niggardliness
and absence of sympathy for the suffering
PROBABLY there are several reasons. One
is that the naturalized citizens, natives of
the warning nations, and many native Ameri-
cans as well, give to the various relief So
cieties formed for the help of the wounded
OF the various countries. rather than to the
Red Cross Society, which serves all alike
Another is that the world has moi vet
awakened to realization OF tho terrible
slaughter. the minds of tho people have not
yet grasped the immensely OF the struggle
The thing is too big and too terrible
sui another reason, probably, is that
with many people. sympathy for the suffer-
ing has not yet triumphed over Indignation
against those who caused it all. There is
latent feeling that they brought it all upon
themselves.
In case Of floods and earthquakes and
steamship wrecks the sufferers are patiently
innocent sufferers. The killed arc guiltoss
or any crime or even wrong contributing to
their death. These facts have an appeal
which is lacking in the of n war, and
especially in the case OF an avoidablc war.
With time people will realize that tho women
and children who are starving are innocent
victims. not of natures wrath but OF mans
crimes. They will realize. too. that the sol
diers are but pawns of war lords. Sympathy
will separate itself from indignation. the one
TO bc directed toward the victims and the
other against those responsible. Then we
imagine. contributions TO the Red Cross So
cety will flow more freely

power like unity. The Gospel of the King

lovers Of pleasure more than lovers Of God,
hence the deplorable condition Of society,

why? Because men are selfish and grab

upon their own lusts.
