Omaha to contribute to the Red Cross
in order that our boys who 60 to the
front shall have every possible care
and comfort that can be provided for
them.
PRIVILEGE TO GIVE.
This is more than duty. 1t is a
privilege. privilege that we should
prize and that every right-minded and
loyal man and woman will avail him
self and herself Of.
I'VE have lived so long in peace
and prosperity that we scarcely
realize what war means. We have
become careless of the liberty we
possess. We are unprepared for the
stern realities Of war. Those of, us.
who cannot go TO the fr6nt can at
least have the privilege of giving to
provide comfort to those who go. 1t
is our duty and our privilege as
Christian community and Christian
nation"
An impassioned arraignment of
Germany was made by native of
Germany, Judge Benjamin |. Salinger
of the Iowa supreme court In
voice that trembed and while his
fist smotc the table he declared:
There is the sharpest distinction
between. the aspirations of the hearts
of the German peoplSand those of
the last OF the Hohenzollern family.
| love the German people as those OF
my own blood and pity them as no
ono who does not know them well can
pity them.
when | was 9 years old my par
cnts borrowed money from relatives
i'll this country to come to America.
They had become convinced that
small ruling family such as that in
Germany cuts off the opportunities OF
the common people to the last degree.
Kaiser Stands Alone.
To-day the kaiser stands alone in
the world as the one absolute ruler
who does as he pleases with anybody
i'll his realm. Nowhere else on the
'footstooP is there a ruler who still
dreams that might is right and that
the era of the cave man is not past."
Equally stirring was Judge Salin-
gers patriotic tribute to the flag and
his feeling reference to the work of
the Red Cross. He said:
"In the excitement of war not
enough attention is paid to the branch
Of the work which ministers when the
din of battle is stillcd, the ever busy
hands that are cool on fcvered brows
and nurse the soldiers through the
nights OF pain and bring comfort and
surcease Of sorrow to those who have
fought the good fight.
''ln giving this -$2lO,OOO the people
Of Omaha are only paying in small
way for the blessings which will come
to them through it. Is it too much
10 ask that you, from the safety Of
your homes, shall give this sum i'll or
der that the boys who go out to fight
your battles shall fight the better and
bring the sooner the downfall of that

Americas Heart Throb.
I'VE could get the millionaires TO
give this. One man might be willing
TO give it. But that would rob the
fund of most of its value. 1t is to be
given by the people, the common peo-
pie, rich and poor alike, SO that the
soldiers to whom it shall minister and
the poor whom it shall help shall
know and feel the throb of the great
heart of the American people.
What will the soldiers think il a
single life is lost because we are too
busy or too parsimonious? This great
Red Cross movement is only another
manifestation Of the activities Of this,
our beloved country, a-eountry which

He told the legislators that unless the

would amount to $4,000 per county
