CARDINAL LAUDS
JUNIOR RED CROSS

Cardinal Gibbons has issued IN ap-
peal to. teachers and pupils of paro-
chial schools throughout the Country
to cooperate in the campaign to enroll
the school children of the United
States as members of the Junior De-
partment of the American Red Cross.
The campaign opened on Lincoln's
birthday and will close on Washing
tons birthday. A determined effort
will be made to enroll every school In
the country as an auxiliary of the
American Red Cross. Cardinal Glib
bons' message reads:
"The President of our beloved coun-
try, who is also President of the Red
Cross, has issued a call for all schools
Of whatever kind to become a~uxiliaries
of the Red Cross. and each pupil in
each school a junior member of the
Red Cross. His desire is not only to
add the efforts of all the children to
the work of the Red Cross in sustain
ing the fighting forces of the nation,
but to teach by practice to the children
those lessons of unselfish love and
service which must be part of the ed
ucation. of every child If this republic
is to endure as a Christian nation and
remain the haven of Freedom.
Services of Children Needed.
a. 'In this time of peril our country
needs the services of the children as
well as the adults, and in the days to
come she will need still more the clear
heads, the honest hearts and strong
and steady hands of men and women
who today are school children.
Therefore l ask and urge that each
of you make full response to the call
of our President and that each school
become q Red Cross auxiliary, thus
making every pupil a Junior member.
1t is a privilege, no less than a duty,
for the children to help baer the bur-
lens of the momentous hours of Amer
ica's trial, and in the~days of her graf
itude for final victory to rejoice that
they have helped to preserve her as
the home of liberty. (Signed) Faith
fully yours in Christ, J. Card. Gibbons.
Archbishop of Baltimore"

thirty. This cloth can be used by sol
diers for cleaning and shining their
guns.
Another useful occupation for school
children is the making of puzzles for
soldiers. Nothing hangs heavier on
the wounded soldier than time. The
authorities of France and England
have found that puzzles divert the
mind of an injured man from thoughts
which tend to retard his recovery.
A good puzzle car be made by past
ing q colored picture on a piece of
cardboard and cutting 1t into innu-
merable pieces of all shapes and sizes.
The wounded men then try to arrange
the pieces properly. 4
The Red Cross Junior workers also
prepare scrap books, collect novels and
magazines, put up jellies and jams,
make splints and crutches and innu-
merable- other things that are neces-
sary.
For the successful conduct of the
affairs of the Red Cross every bit of
Some one has to do 1t or u soldiers

the men in the trenches may be as
sured that 1t Is not going to be left I'M

school children devoting their labor to
the work of the American Red Cross.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
IS BIC FACTOR
IN WAR RELIEF
Army of 100000 Youthful
Workers to Be Modified by
oaa hington's Birthday.

: When the Junior Membership Cam
paign Of the American Red Cross ends
on Washington's birthday, the public,
private and ~parochial schools of the
United States will have been modified
for war work In the interest of Ameri-
ca and her Allies.
The enrolment campaign was
launched in every State in the Dun
try on Lincoln's birthday. 1t opened
amid marked enthusiasm on the part
of the pupils and teachers-an enthu-
siasm which has convinced the Red
Cross that the movement will be en-.
tirely successful.
Each School to Be Given Charter.
The campaign is being conducted by
the schools themselves. The Red Cross
is not ~canvassing the schools, but is
depending for its results upon the mi
tiative of the pupils. Enrolment is by
schools and not individuals, and no
schools will be given a Junior Red
Cross Charter unless all its~pupils are
included in the blanket enrolment. AS
a necessary step to the formation of a
Red Gross Auxiliary the school must
raise a fund equivalent to twenty-five
cents for each child. This fund may
be completed through entertainments
or through contributions from outsid-
ers. The impression has gone out that
the individual child a contribute not
more than n penny. This is not
true. According to Andrew Ten Eyck,
In charge of Junior Enrolment for
the Atlantic Division, the children can
contribute from one cent to twenty
five cents each to the fund.
Hundreds of schools In the Atlantic
Division. have fer many weeks been
doing war relief work under the SUI
pervision of the Atlantic Division.
One of the principal forms of work
has been the preparation of garments
for French and Belgian refugee chill
dren. These garments are made from
the apparel of grownups. The gar
ments are taken to the school rooms,
where they are cut down and sterilized
and made ready for shipment abroad.
Children Aiding In Many Ways.
School children give many forms OF
service. Pupils in the first and sec
ond grades wind balls of yarns for
their older sisters to knit into sweat
ers. socks and wristlets. They also
wind thread on pieces of cardboard
for the convenience of those pupils
who devote their time to making sew
ing kits for the men In service. 9th
er children in the lower grades are
occupied putting pins in completed
garments, attaching buttons or cutting
cardboard for pin balls. :
The Red Cross has found excellent
workers In the children of the fourth,
fifth and sixth grades. The boys in
these grades will work like Trojans.
They have profound admiration for
American fighting men, and anything
they can do to help them they do with
effervescing enthusiasm. So these
boys, for the most part, have been as
signed to the task of making woolly
cloth, two and a half inches square,
put up in packages of from twenty 10

It is pity and burning shame
that the magnificent Rheims cathedral
is now virtually mass Of ruins this
beautiful structure which was designed
by the greatest architects Of the olden
times and which consumed 200 years
in building. But the Huns have ham
mered it to pieces for sheer love Of
destruction. Even when forced to
evacuate Rheims they took parting
shot at the cathedral and crumbled an
other Of it's remaining walls. Sacri-
lege? It is worse than that it is
hellishness in it's worse form. How
different from General Cadorna of the
italian army, who, when his men had
trained their big guns from a position
in the Alps upon a beautiful city
nesting in the valley, and were await
ing the word of command to destroy it,
exclaimed, "Fellow soldiers, cannot
do it; we will win some other way

The Duty of the Reserve.

AS many people are ignorant Of the
work required Of reserve troops the
following from Marshal Foch should
make the matter plain:
y In the maneuver battle, the reserve
Chat is to say, the prepared bludgeon)
is organized, kept back, carefully in
structed to execute the single act Of
the battle from which results are ex-
pected, the decisive attack; the re-
serve is husbanded with the most ex-
treme parsimony, so that the bludgeon
may be strong enough, the blow as
violent as possible. Let loose at the
finish, without any lurking idea Of
saving them, with a well thought out
plan for winning the battle at a point
chosen and determined, the reserves
are thrown in altogether in an action
surprising in violence and energy all
the other phases Of the battle, an ac-
ton with the proper characteristics
of surprise, Of mass and speed. All
our forces really participate, either by
preparing it, or by carrying it out,
in this our supreme aim.

full little did he dream that he would
live to a ripe old he relied upon
a horoscope cast by some old maid
friend. But Mrs. Carnegie had no
faith in horoscopes, so she clandes-

100000 from Andy's savings and
buried the money in the family root
house. Andy, who, it is said, was
about to take the family jewels to

egg, invested a couple Of million in
Liberty bonds, paid his rent, which was
overdue, blessed his wife, and hid the
balance in the coal bin. It came near

right; but whether it will teach Andy

Hun inhumanity was again forcibly
demonstrated in the Smelling Of life
boats which were recently carrying
men, women and children from torpe-
idoed vessels. Not only this, but the
blackguardly crew of one U-boat tied
a lifeboat full of people to the stern
Of their craft and submerged. The
parting Of the rope, however, saved the
occupants Of the lifeboat. And with
such atrocious proceedings as this the
Hun government has the audacity to
request an armistice. This is no time
for peace dickering and, furthermore,
nothing will stop the memorable Foch
and his irrepressible armies from
finishing the job they have started.

The state dairy and food department
has started vigorous campaign
against dealers who pan off Anticipated
eggs upon their customers. Store
keepers have recently been fined at
Warren, Grove Lake and Holdings
ford in sums of SIS, $50 and 500

would be well for dealers who have a
stock Of these deconposed eggs not
to risk the chance Of palming them off
upon customers by mixing them with
fresh ones, but to reserve them for
campaign purposes.
