paid last year to the federal gov

AS we have said. this is an old
story. The tax returns have told
it ever since the first corporation
tax was established and called an
excise measure. It will be re-
peated, we suppose, with every
annual tabulation of the tax re-
turns, until a Congress is elected
which will regard taxation as
burden to be borne equitably by
every citizen in proportion to- his
ability to pay. Under pressure
of war, necessitating largely in
creased revenues for the federal
treasury, the present Congress
has taken steps to reduce the in
come which may be exempted
from governmental levy, thus
bringing more incomes within
reach and adding materially to
the sum which next. years re-
port will show. This is fair and
equitable; and if the income tax
is to remain as a feature of OUR
taxation system. the end of the
war should not be made an ex-
cuse to go back to the old meth

Now the service within the Red Cross is also
two-fold. Some timorous individuals seem to
fear that in volunteering to help in the Red
Gross work they are enlisting for definite terms
and may be dispatched to any point selected by
their superior officers. But this is far from be-
ing the case. The stories we will read after the
of beautiful young girls who bravely joined
the Red Cross and did heroic nursing service in
the base hospitals will be purely fiction. The
Red Cross will not let any woman serve at the
front as a nurse even if she demands the privi-
lege, unless she is graduate nurse of some
recognized institution. The nursing service is
already recruited up to its limit and it will be
long time before all of it's enrolled nurses see
war hospital service.
But limited number of men and women
volunteers who desire to experience Red Cross
service with the Army will be given the chance.
A few ambulance drivers and men who can do
special executive work will be needed with the
units sent abroad. And the hospitals also have
work for non-professional women superintend-
ing the homework at the hospital and serving
as matrons of the nurses dormitories, and so on.
These women are to be called nurses aids. It is
estimated that there will be as many of them as
there are nurses, so that if 1000 nurses are all
sent across the ocean, that many nurses aids will
dCCO11pdily IuClh'
The service which the Red Cross asks of the
millions of American women anxious to help viii
be purely a voluntary, Embossed home service.
For the most part it will be needlework, the
preparation Of supplies. These supplies include
surgical dressings, which cannot be made for
the Red Cross unless the seamstress has had
special instruction in the work, and other
articles such as bed linen, pajamas, bathrobes,
and other comforts which sick men in hospitals
need. Most of these latter can be made by any
intelligent woman without special attention All
such articles must comply with standard speci-
fcations but these specifications and plain direc-
tons are furnished by the Red Cross. The ma
terials are bought by the volunteer.
To train lay women for the various tasks
which must be done in great numbers if the
nursing service is to have the home support
which will make it success, the Red Cross in
many cities conducts special courses of instruc-
ticn Classes for this instruction can be or
gained by any ten women together, and except
IN extraordinary instances the expert teachers
will be furnished The Red Cross now has
tremendous call upon it for these teachers, and
in some cases it is impossible to supply them.
There are three of these courses named re-

not what it might have been. Some of the nurses
had more pity than trained ability, and as re-
suit men died or remained hopeless cripples
throughout their lives when proper treatment
the sort Of treatment an injured man receives in
modern hospital might have saved them.

1t happened that Swiss-Henri Dunant-
went upon this battlefield and saw these dying

the nations of the world decided that it was time
to take this atrocity out of war. The Treaty of
Geneva in 1868 for the first time provided for
the Immunity of medical and nursing services in
battle, and the sign Of that immunity was to be
red cross. And from that authorization has
sprung the great international order of mercy

When the Spanish War breke out it was still
outside the Government and not organized OF

Mabel i. Boardman became the head of it. Her
interchangeable work caused Congress in 1905 To
give the organization a federal charter and
designate it as the official relief Organization Of
the tinted States of America 1t is the only
organization permitted to give volunteer aid to
the victims OF war; Other institutions seeking
to be of humanitarian service in time Of war
must act through the Red Cross.
The organization is two-fold in several par
ticulars, and therefore not quickly understood
by the public It IS both official and private IN
its character. That IS, the Government has
adopted It officially as the auxiliary war relief

accounts are audited by the War Department.
and it's annual reports are addressed to Con-
gress.
Yet the Government does not finance the Red
Cross. On occasions Congress has voted con-
tributions of money to it. Congress helped to
build the new building for instance But the
great volume of its funds spent for relief work
is contributed by private individuals In times
past most of its cash has come in the form of
gifts, less than 80 per cent of its receipts being
from membership fees. But with the quickened
interest in the Red Cross the membership fees
are becoming an important source of revenue.
In time of war the Red Cross acts as the
auxiliary to the medical and nursing services
the sanitary services, as they are called of
Army and Navy. 1t is case of the auxiliary
being greater than the thing aided. Many
doubtless wonder why the Army and Navy does
not maintain it's own hospital service on an
adequate scale. The answer is that it has been
found to be more efficient and less costly to give
this task over to the senli-private Red Cross. IF
there were no Red Cross doubtless the military
services would have had their enlisted reserves
Of surgeons and nurses, and their storehouses Of
hospital supplies But it would have been
SO@pAI
service would have been no better prepared for
war than many of the other departments of the
Army and Navy.
But the Red Cross IS ready. It's enlisted
nurses number 1000. These are sufficient in
number to care for the victims of a fighting
army Of | 100000 men. War experience is that
i've per cent of a fighting army are in the hos
pitfalls. That is, of 100000 men at the
trenches, 10000 will be sick or wounded One
competent nurse can care for ten wounded men
II this work the Red Cross is merely the
auxiliary. Both Army and Navy have their
medical and nurse corps But these are main

about the purposes of the association while the
applications for membership in single day
amount to more than the total membership six
years ago.
What is the Red Gross?
What does it do?
Who does its work?
Can I help?
These are the questions asked most often in
the marble building across from the White
House. The Red Cross tries to keep UP with
these floods of queries by distributing it's litera-
ture and by answering letters, but it is falling
behind in the task. The whole nation seems to
be asking these questions And APPARENTLY as
fast as individuals learn what the Red Gross
stands for and how they can help it along as in
dividuals they add their names to the mounting
membership roll and stand ready as volunteers
to assist in the work.
No doubt two-thirds OF the population of the
United States either never knew that the Red
Cross as an ideal came into existence since our
Civil War or they have forgotten that it is so
youthful. 1t never occurs to the modern man to
wonder who takes care of the victims Of wars
and disasters. The modern man usually does
not have to bother about such things, anyhow.
When fire breaks out the apparatus quickly
arrives, and when there is q riot the police are
on hand, and when we have trouble with for
eign country the army and navy are in evidence.
These things seem to provide themselves miracu-
iously-the modern man takes them for granted,
like the mail delivery and the newspaper.
And yet when great disaster comes or
thousands are killed and wounded in battle.

of the victims, il they are to be taken care Of at

of the American people to provide funds and
other support for the organization, the appoint-
ment Of such man as Henry P. Dawson, Of
j. p. Morgan & Co., of New York, as head of

that Mr. Dawson would devote all his time to

realize that the Red Cross stands next to the
Army and Navy themselves in Importance to the

Why should I, already war-taxed and taking
my share of the Liberty bonds, give voluntarily

about the matter of support for the Red CROSSE
Why will such men as Dawson sacrifice privite
