RED CROSS SAVES SOLDIERS
Organization Acts on Theory TE"t
Is better to Heal Wounded Ei5'.:.
er Than to Pension His Family.

Long ago some one remarked that @ n
ounce of tuffy is worth ton of ppi.
taphy. A 10-cent bunch Of violpts to
the living outwcighs Il $50 funeral
wreath for the dead.
That's the motto Of the Red Cross
says writer In the philadelphia
Ledger. II is much cheaper to soothr
and heal Il wounded soldier than to
pension his ,amily.
Erecting monuments at Gettysburg
and Valley Forge is well cnorwh fifty
or hundred years after the events,
hat q dollar for the stricken soldier
equals q hundred dollars in marble
over his body.
Red Cross money Is I'm insurance
policy. What does 1t insure against?
Philadclphia's $3.000,00O will surely
preserve scores Of lives. SO it insurcs
against death itself. which is some
Thing an ordinary Insurance policy
does not do.
Wipe out Philudelphia's hospitals
and how many mere persons will die
every year? Doctors tell me the num-
Gcr would be many hundred.
Deprive the battle front of hospital
facilities and the death rate will jump
enormously. So your Rcd Cross dollar
is out unon practical errand-nOt q
sentimental, sissy Journey
il is certain to hr invested in the
life of Il liberty soldier, which Is II
GOOD enough investment for me.

PETROGRAD, Aug. 7.-The indi- cations, such as can be seen at the present time of the policies which will be pursued by the Kerensky government tend to show that they will be more or less of d conserva- tive nature with a well marked tend ency to turn away from radica}ism
