growing on the hlllsldes, wheat and

lion men, without thinking of sending
ambulances all through South Africa,
into Egypt, into the Balkans, into
Russia, as well as into France? But
they have failed 'nowhere-and this

undertakings.
Immediately our soldiers go into
camp, their dependent families will
become a problem. Obviously, in a
country the size of u own, the pro-
per and practical way to distribute
both the burdens and the benefits fair
ly and uniformly will be through the
government itself. This is especially
fitting when voluntary contributions
must meet such enormous require
ments in other fields. There will un-
doubleday arise a large number of
special cases requiring assistance.
Such assistance should be made sys-
tematic largely through local chap
tiers of the Red Cross.

than a dollar to the Red Cross, but

money from you. Why you are giving

But he insisted, "My conscience
wouldn't let me go away without do
ing at least that much and you see,"
he added earnestly, 81 may be needing
the help of the Red Cross myself be-
fore long"
So the badge vas pinned on silently
and the workers nodded the thanks
they could find no speech to express.
After the young man had gone out
the chairman cried, "What an exam
