There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the privi.
leges of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies Of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations Of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This Is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu-
tion Of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same.
"False to Their oaths."
All these naturalized citizens who
are taking part In obstruction to our
government In the conduct Of the war
are false to their oaths, are forfeiting
their rights OF citizenship, are repudi'
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people Of the United States have well
coined them to the liberty and the op-
portunities of this free land. We must
believe that in many cases this Is done
because OF failure to understand what
this war really Is.
This is a war of defense. 1t Is per-
fectly described In the words Of the
Constitution which established this na-
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
fense" and "To secure the blessings OF
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The national defense demands not
merely force but intelligence 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration of the
policies and purposes of other nations,
understanding of the inevitable or
probable consequence of the acts Of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when it will be too late, and prompt
action before it Is too late.
BY entering this war the United
States availed itself of the very last
opportunity to defend itself.

used, with more stitches, or, for the
sweater, the thread may be doubled.
Never leave a knot in your yarn. Splice
the ends by ravelling for two inches.

Through the Junior Red Cross,
which has been created in accordance
with a plan credited largely TO DR.. ii.
N. MacCracken, president of Vassar
College. it is proposed to give the
$4,000, 900 school children OF the Unit
ed States an active share in the worn
of the Red Cross.
The purpose of the Junior Red
! Cross is largely educational, and its
activities will be carried on entirely
in the schools, as a part of the school
work.
The organization of the Junior Red
Cross aims at decentralization and
the independence of the local unit.
Contact with the Red Cross will be
maintained only through the School
Committee of the local chapter. the
! chapter, in turn, receiving its direc-
tions and material through the divi-
sion director of Junior membership.
The dues Of each auxiliary are a
sum equal to rs cents for each mem
Der. This is required as a pledge OF
serious purpose, and is to be used by
the auxiIiaries In the purchase Of ma.
terials for making supplies.
Military Relief Work.
The American army in France Is re
ceived in large reception camps on
the coast, and after several weeks OF
preliminary training the men are sent
across the country to permanent
training camps back Of the firing
lines.
Along the route followed by the
troops the Red Cross has established
infirmaries and rest stations, each In
charge OF an American trained nurse
with an American man to assist her
Each infirmary contains 10 beds, 8
stock OF drugs and other necessities
The seriously sick are cared for a

Daily calls are made upon the Ameri

comforts.
Bio Work In United States.
Dispensaries have been established
in the American army zone to carr
for civilians and to improve health
conditions in the vicinity of the Amer
lean camps.
When our men reach their French
base the Red Cross continues to &C
as a friendly agency as opportunit!
may offer to supplement what tn
army itself does to make the mel
comfortable. Recuperation camp
have been opened at suitable places
and recreation huts provided for tn
sick and convalescent.
The department Of Military Relic
likewise does a practical and a hu
name work in the United States. !

makes it necessary. This department
even has gone to the extent of SUI

WHAT THE

is DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
WOMAN'S WORK.

Under the department of Womans Work are listed all of
those articles s. necessary for the recovery of the wounded and
the comfort of the convalescent. 2t
Red Cross work shops through the country are busly engaged
turning out great quantities of the various types of surgical dress
ings so badly needed in the field dressing stations and base hospi-
tails abroad. These dressings are made with the utmost care in
hygienic surroundings and in their preparation are occupying the
time of hundreds of thousands of women in the larger cities
throughout the country. There can be no fear of an oversupply of
hospital dressings and the need for them will become more and
renewed vigor in the spring. There is also an urgent demand for
many articles which come under the heading of hospital garments,
directions for the making of which are herewith appended. These
articles can be made in the home, or in the church, as wome n
articles can be made in the home, or in church centers, as wonen
find most convenient.
