ing up at Gods blue sky with be-
wildered eyes that are soon to close;

ninety miles an hour: she has inter

ascertained first hand just what the
Belgian attitude is toward the Ger

women of the Red Cross-and has
chronicled all with the vivid human

famous. And through all the horror
of it, she expresses her woman's SYM
