MAKE YOUR CH0ICE-IT'S
RED CROSS OR IRON CROSS

One Of the most striking phrases ex-
pressive Of the duty Of every Ameu-
can to uphold the Red Cross is tn,
J. Roe Purchase, editor of a trade
per In Chicago. Here is what he tells
his readers:
you'd better bear the Red Cross
burden now than bear the Iron Cross
burden all the rest Of your life"
Never was spoken truer word. The
first appeal Of the Red Cross was for
$10OOO0,000, which means about 81
per capita. This fund Is for the care
Of sick and wounded soldiers, and the
destitute In war-desolated lands.
But when the German heel Is stamp
ed down upon a land-Belglum, Ser
bia, Poland, Roumania, Francois far
as the crown prince has been able to
go-there is no such thing as CON
tribution; It is conflscation. Why, more
money has been ravished from the one
city Of Brussels than the Red Cross
asked for Its whole first year cam
paign. Millions Of dollars In 'flnes''
are taken from every Belgian city ev-
cry month. Only a few weeks ago
fine Of millions was imposed on Brus-
sells because q newspaper published By
Belgians in England had printed
story of German savagery.

CHASER OF CYCLONES

The world Is full Of rainbow
chasers, but the one and only
official cyclone chaser is John ].
O'Connor. director of the central
division Of the American Red
Cross, with headquarters at Chi
cago. The Red Cross Magazine
has graphically told how he per-
sonally administered relief at
Newcastle and New Albany, Ind,
when those cities were wrecked
by storms. But 1t Is not general
ly known that, beginning with
the disaster at Mattoon and
Charleston, where 90 lives were
lost, Mr.. O'Connor directed re-
lief work In IS communities
scattered over seven statesl
Not only did he get calls for
help from several of the nine
states then In his division. but
Washington ordered him to take
over the cyclone relief work In
Kansas and Oklahoma, which or
dinarily are administered from
Denver.

CHAPTER xI.
The Rodeo.

1t was with feeling Of some reluc-
tance that Dave drove up to Las Pal
mas shortly after the lunch hour, for
he had no desire to meet young Ed"
However, to his relief, Austin did not
appear, and inasmuch as AlaIre did
not refer to her husband in any way,
Dave decided that he must be absent,
perhaps on one Of his notorious sprees.
The mistress Of the big ranch was
In her harness, having at once assumed
her neglected duties. She came to
welcome her caller in a short khaki
riding suit; her feet were incased in
tan boots; she wore a mannIsh felt
hat and gantlet gloves. showing that

All that afternoon the cowboys

In war-t0rn Europe as well as to nurse
the wounded fighters. These little ones
are just as heroic, In their way. as
any man who charges the German
guns. And the children are often
wounded, too.
Here Is an extract from q letter
written by Mrs. Marian BonsaI Davis,
who was for SIX months a volunteer
worker In France. among those non
combatants who are almost hourly In
danger from German guns and bombs:
Because 20 many bombs fall on the
town Of Nancy. and because the place
is sometimes bombarded. the children
all know that on q certain signal they
must run into the cellar of the nearest
house marked with the great red cross.
There, perhaps. they will have protec-
ton.
There are children In the hospitals,
victims Of the bombs. There is one
little girl, both legs taken OF by q
German bomb. hugging tight her dolly.
with never smile on her grave face.
There are two little boys who also
suffered amputations because Of the
bombs. They begged to be allowed
to lie in the hospital ward with the
wounded soldiers, and when the SOL
diers heard Of the request they smiled
and said "bienl" Ut Is well.} And
now the little fellows are inordinately
proud Of the mutilations that permit
them to lie In the ward Of crippled SOL
diers, the equals In rank Of the heroes
of battle.
Then there are the little ones In the
refugee colonies. II you have helped
with your money. with service, to car
~ the world-burden, you can look into
their eyes; otherwise you turn your
head when they gaze at you with
child wisdom.
These little ones are very like 9TH
er children except In one thing-no
horrible thing can ever surprise them.
Their baby eyes have looked upon the
unspeakable. They have gazed on vio-
lence and wrath In their most pervert-
ed forms. have seen their grandpar-
ents hunted and driven, their mothers
hunted down. They are too young to
know that these things are not COM
mon part Of life. And they are 20
much older than you In knowledge Of
violence and suffering and terror, yet
because you are SO big. and seem to
them wise, they look up to you In child
appeal.
"When you have seen that from
these little ones, you have touched the
war; and when you have touched the
war, there Is only one kind Of relief
possible to you-and that is to help.
There Is very definite. practical way
to help-the American Red Cross. Ev-

Thomas A. Edison.
While details of the Edison inven-
ton were withheld by the navy de-

The navy officials declared that IN
