To insure the prompt delivery Of the

obtained the cooperation Of the Eng

Ambassadors. The French and English

Iheir idea Of having the one-ac,

Originated "old Linen" Idea.

at occurred to me that the Salvation
Army in America ought to do some
thing. In Europe all its resources were
in the hands Of those who needed help.
1t had done all it possibly could. The
old linen idea came TO me like an
inspiration. knew there was a great
scarcity Of hospital supplies. Our
officers in France and Belgium had so
informed me, and their information
was supported by the ambassadors at
Washington.
81 then called a meeting of the
Salvation Army cabinet, and it was
agreed that we would try to collect old
linen. BY odd linen mean anything
that will serve for making bandages,
congresses, spouges and handkerchiefs.
A handkerchief is a luxury in the
trenches. often a man has nothing but
the sleeves of dirty tunic with which
TO wipe his face. A linen shirt, because
it is frayed at the cuffs or collar, is
thrown away generally. Out Of this
may be cut several handkerchiefs
which would bring immeasurable relief
TO the benoficiaries.
ut doesn't matter how small or how
frayed a piece Of linen may be, we want
It," continued Miss Booth. IF We can't
make bandage out Of it We can at
least make a wad or pad. and either

ret be tragedy in the accepted form,
but, as Galsworthy allows, the people

course, worse than a mere tragedy OF

night by Frederick |. Monson, f.

Club. Monson is well known as a
lecturer and war correspondent
for United States army newspapers.
His computation of the fearful
cost in money and lives that this
nation would have to sustain before
the Stars and Stripes flew over the
cupolas Of MeXice City, had been
made, he said, by the aid of his
own knowledge of the country,
coupled with what American mill

him.

Monson to his hearers. He correct

can nation" On the contrary, said
he, four-fifths Of modern Mexicans
