and the more remote possibility Of

American soldiers In camps and hos
pitfalls In Great Britain are now able to
keep in touch with affairs at home
through the medium of a daily bulletin
service which has been established BY
the American Red Cross.
Army officers say the service fills q
long-felt want, providing the men with
sporting and home news they cannot
find In the English newspapers.
The arrival of the bulletin is now
one Of the big daily events. In this
connection a Red Cross worker in
England sends the following message
to National Headquarters in Wash
ington:

The Red Cross Ready for Peace

T>H following message has been telegraphed by the
l War Council of the American Red Cross to each one
of the 1857 chapters:
ION February 10th, last year, nearly six weeks be-
fore the United States declared war, National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war.
That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering
growing out of it, constitutes something of which every
American citizen has a right to be proud. Every Ameri-
can Red Cross worker must feel a sense OF gratitude IN
having had a share in it all.
"The moment is now come to prepare for peace.
Until peace is really here and our soldiers home there
can be no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to
active hostilites.
But even with peace, let no one suppose that the
work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American
boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick
and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may
take a year or more to bring our boys home from France.
But whatever the time, our protecting arms must be about
them and their families over the whole period which
must elapse before the normal life of peace can be re-
sumed.
"Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the Com
manderin-Chief tells them there is no more work for
hem to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member and
worker-and this means both men and women-show
our returning soldiers and sailors that to care for their
health, welfare and happiness we are enlisted for no less
period than they are.
'"The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery
such as the world has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which cannot help themselves. The
American people will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and
broken bodies. Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken
areas which have been narrowed by war, and for this
great act Of mercy the heart and spirit of the American
people must continue to be modified through the Amer
lean Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council, we accordingly ask
each member of our splendid body of workers through
out the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which
rests upon each one to carry on We cannot abate one
instant in our efforts or in our spirits. There will be
abundance of work to do, and specific advices will be
given, but even at the moment of peace let no Red Cross
worker falter.
"Our spirits must now call us to show that not the
roar of cannon or the blood of our own alone directs our
greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to
serve"

WHY SHE BECAME CHRISTIAN
Religions of Orient Make Slaves ~
Women, Says a Japanese, and
Rebelled.

"And how did you happen to be-

81 wanted women to be good and l
wanted to help them to improve their
lot" she replied tersely. II found that
1 could not accomplish what l de-
sired without religion. That conclu-
sion sent me to study religion from
the woman's point OF view. / found
that there is no hope for women in
any of the religions of the Orient.
They teach that from the cradle to
the grave women are inferior to men.
They regard women as evil. Confu-
clan ethics, for example, teach that
fools and women cannot be educated.
A woman cannot be a heavenly crea-
ture.' 1t teaches that it is better to
see a snake than a woman, for the lat
ter passion.
Japanese women have been so long
oppressed by this kind of teaching that
they no longer stop to ask why. They
are afraid like slaves. Then l began
to read the Bible. / did not like some
parts of it any better than I like the
religions of the East. 1 did not see

the only hope for the women of the
Orient to attain their true position is
through Christianity"

There is really an endless asSort-
who look to the blouse more than ever
to provide them variety in their APP
parel. Since we may not have so
many frocks, what with the scarcity
of wool and labor and everything, we
must turn to the blouses made of cot
tons or those of silk to add the spice
of variety to skirts and suits that are
serving overtime.
Blouses are of two characters
those that are moderate in price-any-
where from about three dollars to
eight or ten-and those that employ
lavish or difficult handwork that
brings their value up to two or three
times the outside price of those in the
other class. 1t seems inconsistent to
talk of wartime economy in the same
affairs, but 1t is not always so; some
of them r remarkably durable. The
blouses that most women will buy,
however, are the moderately priced
models that are new and smart in de-
sign. French wolfe, fine batiste and
~georgette crepe are the materials to
select-no matter what the price-for
1t is not in the materials but In the
laces and other decorative features
that take much time to make, that the
high value lies. Women who know
how to do exquisite needlework have
The advantage because they can do
this exacting handwork for themselves.
Fine organdie is another material that
helps solve the problem of dainty
blouses at moderate prices.

Had First Call on Dance.

Down at Quantico one night recent
1y there was a dance for the men
of a certain company, who were to
leave for France the next morning.
OF course, other marines than those
about to go were on the floor. There
was one man who was a mighty good
dancer. and all the girls liked to dance
with him.
There was a very popular girl there,
too. She had her dance program full.
There wasn't a dance left.
A marine came up.
MAY 1 dance with your" he asked.
The young woman said she was sor-
ry, but her program was full.
81 am so sorry" she said.
81 am sorry, too" replied the young
man. 81 just came into the hall, and
/ did want one dance before / leave
for France"
He started to turn away.
The soldier who had the dance grab
bed him by the shoulder.

and installed shower baths In them.
1t distributed 10000 enameled plates
and cups for soldiers in the trenches.
It gave prizes for organized athletic

It sent presents to each man deco
rated for bravery. These presents are

only applied to the infantry.
The Red Cross provided the appa-
ratus and films for cinema shows.
Eight thousand soldiers see them
every day.
1t supplied books for all soldiers.
It Installed a recreation and writing
room at the large canteen at La Panne.
