COMFORT TO GERMANY
BY ROBERT AD0ER BOWEN
of the Xiallantea.

1t has been cause for amazement
mingled with a sharp regret that, dur
ing the dark days of the German drive
against the British lines In Flanders,
following that upon the British lines
in Picardy. there should have broken
out In press and public alike that mar
row and warped antipathy toward
England, which II 1t ever was other
than ungenerous and %grOundless, sure
ly the debt we Of America owe Great
Britain today should have silenced
into a Inundated but very sincere 10y.
atty. On the contrary. there has been
far too evident a disposition to. attack
England. Almost, 1t has seemed, the
disposition In the present instance has
been based on a fear that was akin
to panic. The fighting quality Of the
British has been openly belittled, and
this In the face Of a splendid resist
ance against all but overwhelming
odds that was being exempliied even
as these false accusations were made.
And this, 1t may be added, In the face
of all that history teaches since the
days of Alfred the Great to the pres
ent years Of this most momentous Of
wars.
Such prejudice In us of AnglO-SaxOn
lineage Is at any time unworthy OF
our own best traditions. Today 1t Is
contemplate. If the echo Of 1t has
reached Germany-and we may be
sure 1t hast is music to the ears Of
those who, however they may have
looked upon England before this wa,
have learned to their cost that they
can prevail against her only by force
Of superior numbers and the insensate
power Of modern artiIlery-whose hat
red Of her has become tinged by a
deadly fear which is to be measured
by the horrible price Germany is will
ing to pay for the hope Of victory.
For those of us in this Anglo-Saxon
country whose heritage is British to
seek to defame England Is truly q
~graceless act. 1t smacks not Of supe-
rior merit upon our W part but Of
something very different. At least, let
us reserve our caustic criticism Of her
until in this war we have done what
may be compared with what Britain
has 30 nobly done.

WHAT CAM
IN Xb5 S$t

In the New England Bulletin Of the
did review OF Its work during the past
year from which the following is an
extract under the title of "The Human
Side"
1.-THE American Red Cross recognizes
that our first duty for humanity In this
war Is the protection of u soldiers
in France. 1t recognizes also that this
duty lies with the United States gov
eminent and that the government is
responsible for It.. AS a supplement-
airy relief organization the Red Cross
stands ready to cooperate with the
government in this work, and to put
its organization, money and supplies
into service at the call of the Ameri-
can army whenever and wherever they
car be of use. Fully realizing the dis
advantages that are always met In a
foreign country, and with the view of
keeping our soldiers In touch with
things American, the Red Cross begins
at the port Of landing In France by
establishing rest stations. These rest
stations extend inland toward the
camps and are located In a series at
junction points and railroad stations
where the soldiers are required to
wait for train connections.
"Chief work Of the American Red
Cross In helping care for wounded SOL
diers lies in Its cooperation with the
government In supplying ar efficient
nursing service; In assisting the Army
Medical corps In s of emergency,
and In furnishing materials for hos
pitfalls. There were on March l, 1918,
more than twenty-three hundred Amer
lean Red Cross nurses employed in
base hospitals and In the French mill
tary hospitals throughout the republic.
The total number of hospitals of va
rious sorts In the French republic *
ceeds five thousand, and more than
half of these are receiving all or part
Of their medical and surgical supplies
from the American Red Cross.

miration for our president knows no
bounds. When they hear the splendid
story Of our trade union movement and
Its firm position they know that Amer
lea will make good. Having made
mistakes themselves. they know We
have made them. too, and will make
more. They understand us better
than We have imagined.
Here are two indications Of the
British regard for America. The
American mission visited Warwick to
be guests for a day at the histori"
castle. built in the thirteenth century
America is as mythical to the humble
folk Of Warwick town as Warwick il
to most Americans. But the mayor
ordered the American flag flown dur
ing our visit. 1t was the first time an
American flag had v flown to the
breeze in Warwick. Last night I Wis
tied a theater-the Adelphia. A must.
cal comedy was on the boards. Two
thirds Of the chorus costumes con.
tanned the American c0lOrs. There
were Uncle Sans and American cow
boys and GOddesses of Liberty. The
theaters have been doing this since
W came into the war. They overlook
no way here Of showing affection for
America. America must overlook no
way Of making good!
1--WE were on the sea on April 6. the
anniversary Of our entry into the war.
The event was celebrated, and those
who spoke most feelingly for America
were Canadian and British soldiers.

freedom that fires America and thrills

Did She Resiun7

When Bret Harte wrote 1.-THE Luck
Of Roaring Camp" the young woman
who read proof for the Overland
Monthly, the paper for which It was
written, sen word TO him that II any.
thing SO indecent was to appear In the
paper she would resign. The wife
Of the owner Of the magazine also felt
that It was somewhat risque. Harte
was utterly unable to find anything
improper In the story and delivered his
ultimatum In opposition to that Of the
proofreader. II the story was not
published he would resign. The story
appeared, but did not meet with ia
vor on the part Of Californians. How.
ever, 1t was a great success in the
East and a Boston publishing house
offered to accept anything the author
might send at his wi terms.

There Is no economy in using old
or WORKOUT utensils; learn to keep
up-tO-date equipment in the kitchen.
A workman Is known by his tools.
Use small wooden spoons for stir

get hot In the dish over the heat.
Have a soap sha err. in which
gather all pieces of %unscented soap
to use in the dishpan; this will be a
saving of both soap and the hands.
Save steps by using a tray or n wire
dish drainer in removing dishes from
the dining table. One trip saved is
worth the mental effort and many
times the trips may be divided by en-.
When standing for any purpose,
such as ironing, II a stool Is not con
venIent to use, fold a heavy rug to
stand upon. The spring under the feet
will make a great difference. taking
the pressure off the tired feet.
Good sharp knives. a reliable can
opener and a good knife s%harpener
will save the temper which Is often
rufled by poor tools.
A bottle of kerosene should be kept
near the sink. which may be rubbed
after each washing with a cloth damp
ened In the coal oil this will take of
soil and clean the sink much quicker
than any powder or soap will do.
A roll Of soft absorbent paper is
invaluable In the kitchen. It may be
used to wipe up spots on table or
floor, or to remove waste from
dishes, thus saving in the dIshwash-
ing.
When food burns on, In q dish, do
not scrape 1t, but put a teaspoon Of

diers is being carried . Jointly by the
French government and the American
Red Cross. There are between fifty
and sixty schools Of various kinds for
this work. The Red Cross has provid.
ed more than six hundred mutllated
soldiers with artificial legs Of the best
type, and has established a factory
neal Paris where artificial limbs are
manufactured. BY arranging for con-
sultatiOn between the surgeon and tho
manufacturer, the Red Cross has been
able to secure the best possible treat
ment for each case.
With the wantOn destruction OF
homes by the German army and the
%uprooting of the population In the dev.
astated regions, the home as an in
stitutiOn in France is In peril. Real.
izing this condition, the Red Cross is
e~ndeavOring to keep the soldiers
homes intact; to find homes for the
Outcast children who have neither
homes nor parents, and to help the
refugees and repatries to fnd a place
to live until they shall be able to re-
build their homes.
1.-THE most telling work of the Red
Cross In France, as far as helping to
win the war goes. is the care Of the
families of the French soldiers. The
Red Cross is giving to the needy fam
lilies of these French soldiers supplies
and money, according to their needs.
"When the German army invaded
France, hundreds Of thousands Of
French people were driven from their
homes and are o scattered through
out the republic. These people are
known as refugees. The number has
increased. of course, for various rea-
SOM until 10Y there are more than L.
100000, embracing all classes and ages,
except a~ble-bOdied men. There are ap-
proximately 100000 refugees In Paris
alone.
1.-THE housing Of these people Is one
Of the greatest problems of the French
government. The American Red Cross
Is cooperating with the French govern
ment in this work."
