THE YANKEE WAR
MACHINE
" W0rE Of ~ NalionaI r. 60.
By DAVID N. CHURCH.

w ! ASHINGTON, DC. Oct 81
M IN a great white marble
building overlooking the Mall
about Washington monument is the
greatest unofficial war machine in
the world-the American Red Cross
headquarters.
The business OF the Red Cross Is
not to make war, and II should not
properly be called a war machine, but
it has made more preparations Tor
alternating the effects OF war than
any other organization in the world.
The Red Cross Is not. as is popu-
larly supposed. an organization OF
physicians and nurses. IN fact, one
can't even smell medical cdors around
the building The Red Cross is an
organization OF trained business men
and statesmen. who have been formed
into a body to alleviate the war
pangs. They have gone about their
business in a business-Iike manner.
The Red Cross might be called a
guide Very little actual war relief
work, such as bandage making, is
done by the national organiza ton.
But this work is all directed from
headquarters.
Much Of the work OF this organiza-
ton has been the discovery Of eff
Client means OF comforting those who
are in the war. Bright minds and
expert minds have been set at work
Their ideas have varied from the plan
which backed the popular campaign
Of cigarettes for the soldiers TO the
plan which sent a travelling shower
bath all over France TO battle the
peasants.
Relief work has always been the
HnnFa Of the Ped fTwnce he IN
war or in peace. Today il has, how
ever, its biggest job on its hands
To handle this job the Red Cross has
built for itself a wonderful home in
Washington. To man this machinery
for relief there have been gathered
here specialists in every line of re-
lief work These men are busy daily
in making plans 10 comfort the men
in the trenches and behind the lines
as well as to comfort those at home

the majority Of our large cities, is
that taxes are collected late IN the
year, whereas the making Of the
budget and collection Of the revenues
should be done when the year opens, q
said Dewitt A. Bandeen, secretary Of
the Taxpayers association There
are two ways TO remedy this. in so
far as FL Faso is concerned First,
collect taxes at the beginning OF the
year. bur as this would mean paying
two years taxes at one time for the
first year. there would be tremeud-
Gus objection; secondly, to levy a
little more each year than needed,
so that in a period OF years a SUI
pIus would accumulate. When this
surp--= is secured. then one years
taxes can be jumped and payments
would be for the year Just starting

Swimming should be made a part
Of our school training. 1t is i'm some
schools already, but, instead of be-
ing occasional, it should be compul-
sorry. Every summer brings a pa
thetic string of drowning accidents,
and nine out of ten of these would
not happen if the people engaged
knew how to swim.
Parents who protest against their
little boys going swimming" for fear
they will be drowned should rather
urge them to so so as to learn how to
avoid being drowned. Not one is
