WHY NOT REGISTER MEN7

The food administration has taken
great pains to register the wives and
mothers of the country for national
service in conserving the food supply
OF its good effects there is no need to
speak; they are our daily experience.
But disquieting reports from various
sources, some of them authoruye,
about carloads of potatoes and other
food being withheld from the market to
sustain prices justify the question Of
whether the time has not come to reg
lister the men also for honest and pa
triotic service.
Nobody doubts that the government
will eventually cope with the situation.
The machinery is just beginning to work.
But winter is upon us and little actual
relief has been given. Domestic con
sumers are becoming suspicious. not
without cause. Something ought to be
done.
II the already qualified authorities
would institute systems of pledgIng
every dealer in food to fairness and
honesty they would know very soon
who was cheating and who wasn't. As
matters stand the women are carrying
more than their share of the burden. -

THE RED CROSS AND THE
AMERICAN SOLDIER

Upon the entry of the United States
into the WARMTH the prospect that
not the smallest part of the job of OBJ
literating Kaiserism will fall to us the
burden of the Red Cross was heavily
augmented. In a general sense, the
primary purpose of the Red Cross is to
care for the men of our own Army and
Navy, experimenting the work of the
government. Three American soldier,
have fallen in action and have been
buried with unusual honors in French
soil. How many young Americans will
| fill graves in foreign lands before the
hour of Prussianism shall have struck
God only knows. But at all times, no
matter how long the struggle, the
supreme object of the American Red
Cross will be to safeguard the comfort
and welfare of our fighting men on land
and sea.
The initial work of the organization
after troops began to move to camp in
this country was the establishment of
canteens at railway stations. supplying
excellent lunches to the soldiers. As
the boys leave for France they are
supplied with comfort kits. And at
Christmas every man in the United
States Army and Navy, at home ard
abroad, will receive a parcel intended
to convey to him the Goddess you of
all Americans. The clicking of hun
dreds of thousands of needles in the
nimble fingers of Red Cross knitters is
familiar sound.
In the United States the Red Cross
follows the soldier and sailor to the
pier; in France it greets him the in
slant he sets foot ashore. 1t looks
after the soldier in the coast reception
camps, provides him with dispensary
and rest-station service. treats his ach-
ing tooth, and in innumerable other
ways makes his new life happier. Al
the base camps it supplements the work
of the Army in making him comfortable.

And when the American soldier is
captured are more than 100 Amer
lean prisoners in German hands now
he will know that his Red Cross mother
has followed him right into the prison
camp. for arrangements have been
made to get to him from Switzerland
the same rations given to the man in
the trench.
Thus, from his military cradle to his
grave, if must be, the Red Cross is an
omnipresent help, working for him with
the effectiveness born of long exper-
fence, efficient administration, and I'M
selfish devotion. From "What Our
Red Cross is Doing in France" by
Marion G. Scheitlin, in the American
Review Of Reviews for December. 1917.

THE KAisER's INHuMAN SYSTEM.

Says Cheradame: Everywhere the
Germans steal horses, cattle, domestic
animals, crazy, potatoes, FOOD products
of all kinds, sugar, alcohol, all Of which
constitute the reserve supply of the
occupied countries. Their harvests,
too, are appropriated through the cul-
tivation OF productive lands by means
of labor extracted almost without cost
from the onslaved peoples " Looms,
engines, drills, presses, lathes, rolling
mills, steam hammers, motors, etc,
etc, are taken to Germany. A Ger
man newspaper prints the advertise
ment, Furniture moved from the
