children and bring them back to
the desolate mothers breast.
Late one night during that ex-
citing period in March the work
ers at the Care du Nord found a
boy Of 10 who had been separat-
ed early in the flight from his
family, He had walked a dis
lance Of twenty kilometers,
twelve and a half miles, before
he reached the railroad station,
and he carried with hin on that
walk and on that journey to Par
is, two bags of feed for the horse
four or five pounds of beans in a
paper sack, a cross-cut saw, two
axes, some harness and a gas
mask.
When the Red Cross workers
discovered him he was about all
in, but he was brave. He sat on
his baggage and ate sandwiches
and drank hot chocolate like a
famished tramp.
He had an aunt and grand
Hother in Paris, he said, but he
did not know his aunt's married
name. He knew the name of
the street she lived on, though,
and next morning a Red Cross
man went with the boy to the
street, and by the simple process
of calling at every house in every
block finally located the aunt.
But that wasn't all. Elio, his
name was Elio Beaussart, needed
a job, and the Red Cross gave it
to him. Now that game young
ster wears a khaki uniform with
| A. r. c. on the collar, and works
in a Red Cross canteen. When
| came away Elio's family had
not yet been found, but he was
serene and hopeful. The Amer
lean Red Cross in his opinion,
can do anything if you give it
time.
Your money did not wait until
the refugees got to Paris before
it helped them. In front of the
Red Cross headquarters in the
Place de la Concorde crowds
gathered daily to see the great
motor trucks being loaded with
food to DE sent up into the firing
es Of the war zone. Thousands
of loaves of bread, tins of meal,
condensed milk. chocolate, coffee
everything necessary and practi-
cal.
The Red Cross had a great
many stations in the sections
over which the Germans swept,
and while the workers in those
stations were helping to evacuate
whole populations the workers
i'm Paris were rushing supplies to
feed them, With guns roaring
and shrapnels bursting around
them the Red Gross camions
went steadily on taking hope and
relief and life to thousands of
civilians and wounded soldiers.
In one station yard, waiting
for trains to carry them to base
hospitals down the line. the Red
Cross found and Succored 1900
wounded French soldiers. In
the town of Beauvals. almost the
last haqitable point near the war
zone, a large number of sick civ
ilians, mostly women and chill
dren were found. There was no
hospitals left in the place, which
had been shelled and largely
evacuated. and to show you how
promptly your money acts, ! am

THINKS "FLU" is CAUSED
BY POISON, NOT CONTACT

CHICAGO. Dec. 5.--In a paper
recently read before the Chicago
Medical society and being circulated
by medical journals. Or. Albert j.
Croft OF Chicago, expressed the
opinion that the influenza which has
swept over the world Is caused by a
poison in the air and is not spread
by the victims coughing and sneez-
ing as most physicians contend, but
due TO what he calls "irritated at
mosphere." Doctor Croft points out
that the present epidemic started
on the gas-poisoned battleflelds of
Europe,

condition termed influenza is in re-

and when the air is surcharged with

Croft.
lie said the spread OF the disease
TO every part OF the world was too
wide and rapid for body or personal
contact and too erratlc for germ

JUST PEACE HOPED

Pope Asks Prayers 10 Guide Congress
TO Secure just TcrmS-Rcjoiccs
That Slaughter Is Ended.

ROME, Wednesday. Dec 4.-The
encyclical letter addressed by Pope
Benedict to the Catholic episcopate
throughout the world cXhorting it to
offer public prayers for guidance by
providence Of the approaching peace
conference, bears the date Of De-
cember /. "A brief synopsis OF this
encyclical was received from Rome
yesterday 1t says:
That which the entire world so
long sighed for, that which Chris
tianity implored with fervent pray
ers, and that we. interpreting the
common grief, urged with paternll
heart for the good OF all, has in a
moment come to pass as the last
booming of the guns is slenced.
Peace has noa yet sOlemnly ended the
war, but an armistice meanwhile has
suspended the slaughter and devast-
alton by land, sea and air. happily.
opening the way for peace"
The pope attributes the end OF the
war ito Him who governs all events
who. moved to pity by the persever-
ing prayers of the good, conceded at
last that humanity might recover fl
nally from so many griefs."
The pontiff rejoices at the Impress
ing demonstration of piety that has
occurred throughout the Catholic
world and continues:
There remains now to implore
the Almighty that the great gift
granted us have its crOwning, that
the delegates of the various nations
to meet in solemn congress give the
world a just and lasting peace. Such
grave and complex decisions will
have TO be taken as no human as
sembly ever took before. Therefore,
words are wanting to express how
greatly the delegates need to be di-
vinely enlightened so as to be able
to accomplish their mission.
Their decisions in the highest de.
gree will affect the interest and good
OF all humanity. Thus Catholics whd
favor order and progress must in.
woke the divine assistance upon those
participating in the peace confer
ence. We desire this duty to be re-
called to all Catholics"
The pontiff ends by urging the
episcopacy of the world to implore
the Almighty by means of public
prayers in each parish to shed His
light upon the congress and enabia
it to secure a true peace founded
upon the Christian principle of JUS
tice. The pope on his part will use
all the influence Of his apostolic min
istry, II Is added, to have the de-
cisions of the congress everywhere
accepted and loyalty executed by
Catholics with view to perpetuating
order, tranquility and concord in the
world.
