Remarks by Ian Malcolm, N. p, Rep

With the British Mission, Made In
Washington, D. c., May "a, 1917, TO
Delegates From American Red cress
Chapters.
In France and Flanders you come
nearest still to the true agony of the
situation. How can describe 1T
Think Of the worst earthquake, Of the
worst floods that have scourged and
shocked you here at home, multiply
the horror Of your impressions hun
dred fold, and you will come near to
the horrors Of the Marne and the Aisne.
Multiply them a thousand fold and
you VIII realize the ferocity Of car
mage at the battles Of the Ancre and
the Jomme.
Multiply them two thousand fold and
that is the picture Of misery and pain
and death after the great battles on
the plains of Russia and In the noun
tains Of Persia and the Caucasus.
Think Of the ruin by floods in Flan-
ders, with the stencil of thousands Of
carcasses, human and animal, poison
ing the atmosphere for miles around
for those who must stay day and night
In the trenches. Think Of the devasta-
ton by fire In France, where villages
and woods and broad pasture lands are
utterly wiped out Of existence. not q
oh Inft
standing where once there were thou
sands Of families living In a condition
as prosperous and happy as anywhere
IN the world. Then turn your minds
to the picture Of some great engage
ment. Try to conceive long trenches
Of men writing in torture from poi
sonous gas or from liquid fame, Of
soldiers smashed and disfgured by
shell wounds, their decorations indie
scribable as their heroism is undaunted.
Leave the trenches and retire behind
the firing line with me. Here we are
on roads lined with men on stretchers,
some dead, scores MORALLY wounded,
hundreds upon hundreds of casualties
In one or another degree of collapse.
The middle Of the roadway is filed by
dozens of ambulances after every ac-
ton. There is perhaps a mile length
of hospital trains waiting In q siding
to convey the wounded to base hos
pitfalls. And all this purgatory Of pain
Is dependent for relief upon the skill
Of our doctors, the tenderness Of our
nurses, the efficiency of our equipment,
all OF which means, and Is dependent
upon, the generosity of the public.
May not take it for granted that
just as the fighting manhood Of the
United States is soon to be with us in
the trenches so you of the Red Cross,
who have done SO much for us In the
past, are now eager to be modified In
the allied army Of mercy and Of char
ity that Is almost divine. l assume
that your organization is coming with
us in increased numbers and with In
creased equipment. IL necessary. to the

Martyr Heroes Of Red cross.

The tale Of victims to the white dag
crossed with red" Is long one. MedL
cal men, nurses, ambulances bearers
and helpers have fallen by scores,
sometimes under fire, sometimes strick-
en- by typhus. The representatives OF
the Russian Red Cross followed the
advance guard into action at the at
tack OF Kheok-Tepe. Twelve Of them
paid for II with their lives: six were
wounded. The Dutch on the outbreak
OF war with the sultan Of Atchin sent
messenger TO announce their inten-
ton OF adhering 10 the convention. The
messenger was murdered. The Ital-
Ian Red Cross society during the Abys-
sinian war escorted the wounded TO
Nassau through savage and hos
tile country. At Abba Carima fifty
surgeons OF the Italian army were kill
ed or left for dead upon the field. Many
fell under tire In the act OF relieving
the wounded; others were savagely
stoned 10 death by the Abyssinians.

Huldah. as though sensing an i'm

Jesse and then followed Shelah toward
the dog kennels. Jesse strobe a few
steps down the road only to hasten
back at hearing fearful cry Of agony
from the direction Of the sheds. The

was Ia every note.

Among the ancient Greeks and Rom

more sought after than wealth. We
know you have honor with the people
of Florida, and it has been without
wealth. This little token memento of
our esteem goes to you and your good

told so. gracefully by Nixon Quarter

"A rose to the living is more
Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead,
If graciously given before,
A rose to the living is more.

A rose to the living is more,
The hungering spirit is fled
Than sumptuous wreaths to the

"Our official relations have closed,
but our personal consideration and
communion will not end while the
lamp of life holds out to burn. As
Mrs. Stowe has said, Life goes on as
inexorably as death And we must
accept the philosophy outlined by
Miss Vivian Vaughan Staten, in her
pretty lines, that 1T isn't the why
and it isn't the how of life for which
we are caring-its the love of those
that are with us now, and the joy of
the hearts own sharing. 1t isn't@the

doing the best that we can do that
