At the first onslaught OF the Huns,
before the French were able to With
stand their invasion, the Kaiser Sc
cured a goodly section OF France.
With the captured cities and villages
he acquired many thousands of French
men.
True to all the rules Of Teutonic
efficiency, the noble German worked
and starved these French close to the
point of death, then saw to 1t that an
impressive number of them caught
tuberculosis and finally sent these poor
wrecks back to burden France.
It has taken the Kaiser from two to
three years to suck the healthy blood
from the veins Of these sturdy rural
French, but now he is sending them
back at the rate of about 1000 day
The Kaiser never announces these

shipments. He simply dumps them In
Evian, on the French Swiss border.
If it were not for the American Red
Cross the task OF caring for these
starved. ragged, sick, homeless, ter
rorized men, women and children
would be more than the French govern
ment could handle. But our American
Red Cross Is making heroic efforts to
defeat the Kaiser's aim to fill France
with consumptives. Trained Red Cross
workers are at the receiving station at
Evian. They first separate those
showing signs Of tuberculosis from
those who are only starving or have
some other disease.
1t is just like the tender care OF
our Red Cross to give particular at
tention to the babies and children to
whom the kindly Kaiser has fed con-

NURSES PRETTY
Red Cross Hospital Uniform
Most Becoming in His
tory Of World.

In a recent news letter from the
front the war correspondent OF the
Philadelphia North American helps to
explain the song, "Tm in Love With .
Beautiful Nurse"
'aThere are 81 Red Cross nurses at
this place." says the dispatch. "They
are cheerful, obedient, brave and COM
petent. And those who weren't pretty
to begin with became SO the moment
they donned the uniform that is the
most becoming In all the long history
of costumes devised for the mystifica-
ton and beguiling Of men.

my, who, so his major told me, woke
up In a hospital in 1916 and, seeing the
nurses in the ward, exclaimed, May

gels have come down to the Sonnet !"
Hundreds of Red Cross nurses, how
ever, are doing work abroad in which
their looks are less eagerly considered.
Finding and caring for war orphaned
babies, fighting tuberculosis, re-estab-
fishing homes in shell wrecked villages
these are some Of the big tasks of
mercy which, thanks to American con-
tributions, the Red Cross sets for Its
nurses.
