RED CROSS STRICTLY CIVILIAN.
Henry P. Dawson Explains Why Of
ficers Received Military Titles.

Decision of the War Department to
authorize the use of military titles by
Red Cross officers while on active duty
in the war zone was adopted only as an
emergency measure to give Red Cross
officers in effect exceptional passports
and freedom OF action. This was en-
Dhasized in a statement today by Henry
p. Dawson, chief of the American Red
Cross war council. who said in part:
Nothing in this plan changes the
character or status of the American
Red Cross, its officers any OF it's

is distinctly q non-combatant, civilian

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, England, July ST.
As an example of GOODNESS in danger
Admiral Sir Stanley Colville recently
told of the conduct of the captain and
lieutenant of a British submarine who.
upon discovering that a floating mine
had become attached to the submarines
rudder. calmly sat down to breakfast
and while they ate evolved a successful
plan for removing the mine.
The submarine was proceeding through
the Dardanelles when the discovery
was made that it was towing the mine.
The crew knew nothing of it until they

Merrick was agape at the fire of her
earnestness. simultaneously his heart
skipped couple of beats.
"But-you know-I'm here now
and"
"You're here now, and you'll stay here
until something uproots you! You say
it's bunk, and you know it's expensive.

everybody else-you pick out one pretty

tonight"
"Aliss Ruston,' said Merrick. =
Every other number, suppose?"
"More than that, if I'm lucky Pardon
me-7there goes the orchestral
He hurried away, and the patroness told
Billy Irving that Julian Merrick hadn't
the lovely manners with which he was
credited, so that Irving, who had asked
Miss Ruston too late for the initial num-
ber, had out of shame to volunteer to pilot
the giggling proteg6e. and took no pleas
.ure in being crowned with the laurels des-
tined for his friend Instead he was il
logically grieved at him.
THE atmosphere of the ballroom was
so humid that Merrick and Miss Rus
ton danced on the glass-inclosed veranda; !;
afterward they sat on the steps overlook
ing the third tee and the considerations
and the river, and-overlooked them.
I'm having a splendiferous evening",
said Miss Ruston, not at all dreamily.
"Aren't you?' ~, .#.
."Fair, said Merrick @Only fair--ex-
cept in the last ten minutes.
"Do you know why l like it?s
He caught himself by a hairs-breadth.
Il think So"
"You do?"
sWell, l may be too conceited, Of
course: but I've done my best to please
you"
She looked at him and laughed happily.
"That's it! Why, this is the first time
in Kenilworth that anybody's talked
Anglo-Saxon to mel Father used to tell
me l was too blunt; but somehow or
other, ever since was baby, I've liked
to look people in the eye and be really
friendly -and not talk much, or say things
all crooked. And you're the only man
that's done that with me-and you only
started tonight at dinner"
Merrick stared at her profile, and ex
perienced an inward emotion that baffled
him. Season after season he had gloried
in his immunity; he had complimented
himself that, of all the junior set, he was
the sole representative of manly inde-
pendence. Now he was curiously moved
by the profile of girl who wasn't even
popular; who was secretly criticized as
perhaps trifle too breezy, toe. outspoken,
too impulsive to be ranked among the
truly exclusive.
"I'm sorry to say that it's Intentional
he said. "I'm beginning to wish it had
been spontaneous"
"But I'm enjoying every minute Of it!
And the clocks running ahead all the
time-and I've been waiting to know
what on earth you meant by saying that
society's bunk"
"As told you, I'm condemned to the
truth. 1t wasn't very grateful thing for
me to say; but, as long as said it, I'll
stick to it."
Miss Ruston nodded appreciatively.

nearer to the sort OF man l imagined you

Miss Ruston was suddenly wide-eyed.

"And l haven't nickel to my name

years-but it's been sort of balm to be

Miss Ruston, who had become mar
velously confused and tremulous, put out
her hand and touched his arm tentatively.
"f-if it would help you TOTO solve
any of our-problems, she breathed-
"I-out in Ohio I've lived in "a sir

"Heiress!" she said, with catch in her
voice. "Why-who ever said that? Mrs.

wanted me to have one care-free summer.
But I've been supporting myself. 1--we

Her reason for not completing the SEN
tence was that Merrick-awkward, but
convincing kissed her.
IN the club-car of the nine-twenty-fve
from Kenilworth two men sat smoking
at the cross table. One of them, an exc
cradle golfer named Rodgers, indicated
neat settlement of modern suburban cot
tages to the left, and shook his head sor-
rowfully.
@How civilized people can live in COM
munities like that he said, II cant un-
derstand. All the discomforts of the
country and none of the advantages of the
city. But-why, come to think of it,
guess poor old Julian Merrickll have to
live in just about that sort of dump,
won't he?'
His seat-mate, who was named Irving,
replied in a monosyllable.
"Queer thing, isn't it? Wouldn't have
suspected it of Julian--would you?'
Neither would l., said Irving shortly.
"No-I wouldn't have suspected it.

Rodgers complacently. "But last night

astonished he finally got it over. Wonder
what struck him.

Republican, Republicanism was one of
the basic virtues of the community, and
hitherto Merrick had held his peace and
let his belief go by implication. He knew
that his statement would prejudice some
of the men against him; he knew that it
would distress Others; but when the ques-
ton was put to him point-blank, he re-
piled succintly. 8 .5S
"A moment later he was on the defensive,
the center of storm of protests; and,
while Irving stared at him in stupefaction,
he said what men ostensibly Drawer would
have hesitated to divulge. He was a
Republican because his father had been;
because he was such a diffident citizen
that he hadn't bothered to study the
merits of the parties; he was six years
beyond the voting age and hadn't yet cast
ballot; to his way of thinking, he ought
to be disfranchised for neglect of duty;
he thought the Republican candidate for
Governor wasn't fit for the office of second
deputy assistant dog-catcher; he thought
politics was another name for organized
thuggery; he thought incomes of more
than fifty thousand dollars ought to be
taxed ten or twenty per cent; he thought
Wall Street ought to be under Federal
jurisdiction; he thought the trade
unions had just as much right as the
Stock Exchange to dominate affairs-he
didn't think that either of them was
wholly fair to the public; he wouldn't
vote the Democratic ticket solely because
if he did he'd lose his job.
And he said many other things, any of
which was apparently sufficient to render
him undesirable to the company of Keni-
worth. Some of them, taken in con-
junction with earlier statements, seemed
to qualify Merrick as rather a sophist.
He admitted that, zoo. And when he
finally stood up somewhat shaken by the
ordeal, he was dazed to find that his hand
was being wrung by MIR. Wilson and MIR.
Rodgers and others of the older men in
turn, and that they We're delighted with
his youthful eXuberance and his ideals,
and proud of his strength of character,
and of his boldness in boarding half a
dozen financial lions in the den of one of
them, and that they regarded him as an
eloquent young genius who had suddenly
burst from the chrysalis and couldn't help
airing his theories which, of course,
would become smooth and practical in
the course of time
On their march to the drawing-room
some one asked him what he thought
of Arnold Benefits latest book, and he
said: "To tell the truth, don't know
what it is"
"For heavens sake!" exclaimed the
bookish one. "What do you read?"
"The morning papers; that's about
ALL said Merrick.
Behind him Irving was making strange
grimaces and looking at his watch.
MERRlCK had the very first dance with
A'A Miss Ruston, and he acquired it at
the expense of verbal bomb-shell. One of
the patronesses had brought prot6gee,
"a simple-faced maiden who giggled,-
and the patroness, after waylaying in vain
succession of Kenilworth young men,
fell upon Merrick in palpable relief
"Oh, Julian!' she begged. "Be dear,
won't you? Don't you want to come and
dance with poor little Maud Hastings?'
Merrick tempered his negative with a
sweet smile.
