RED CROSS ABROAD AND AT
HOME

Recently naturalized Austrian
came to the Red Cross, begging it to
get word to his son held prisoner in
far-off Siberia by the Russians. He
sent supplies and a letter, the spirit
of which is as follows:
'Do not let the Russians involve you
in any exchange of prisoners, for then
you will have to go back to Austria
or perhaps to Germany and be forced
to fight Americans. Don't let them do
that if you can help it; but stay
where you are and we will send you
supplies until you can come to Ameri
ca"
The American Red Cross is at work
all the time gathering data about the
American dead, wounded and miss
ing on this side of No Mans Land
and about the prisoners on the other.
The war department undertakes to
send to the nearest of kin only this
bare fact that an American soldier
has been killed, wounded, missing or
taken prisoner. The Red Cross on APP
plicatlon, supplements this by obtain
ing details and data. 1t thus performs
a service of inestimable value to rela-
tives at home.
Likewise any enemy alien" in the
United States can get n message of
reinsurance to relative in the Cen
trail Empires through the Red Cross
If the message Is legitimate In re-
cognition of this work, the German
government grants the Red Cross sim
liar privileges regarding the Ameri-
can prisoners of war in Germany, the
nature of which cannot be revealed at
this time.
The American Red Cross has been
endeavoring to supply sweaters to all
men in the training cannS who have
not already received them from home
or through friends. The distribution
is nearly completed at the camps in
the southern division and any man
who has not already received a sweat
err and needs one should take the mat
ter up at once with his company COM
mander, who in turn should apply to
the field director of the Red Cross to
supply the deficiency.

Secretary Daniels has made public a
report of the rescue from drowning, during
heavy northeast gale. on the morning
of December II. 1917. of Chief Quarter
master Robertson. who was washed over
board from the U. S. S. Smith. while en-
deavoring to clear jamb in the steering
gear.
The gale then blowing was said to have
been the worst for many years, and the
ship was rolling SIS degrees The vessel
was running before the gale. and in short
order was brought about, so that line
could be thrown to Robertson.
Hung by Feet from Deck.
Exhausted by the cold and rough sea.
Robertson could help himself no longer.
James Marcio, ships cook, first-class,
thereupon tied a line to his waist, and
regardless of his own safety, jumped into
the water. He chung to his man until
the two were hauled aboard ship, this be-
ing made possible by the assistance OF
Lieut. Connolly. who, suspended by his feet
from the deck, helped to haul the men
on board.
Marcio has been commended by the
navy department for the bravery he dis
played Letters of commentator have
also been sent to Lieuts. J. H. Klein.
Jr., and J. c. Byrnes ,Jr., for their ex~
cellent seamanship.

THE BOOK AND THE
PRACTICE
(By Corp. Radcliffe, 1O9th Inf.)

When the l. d. r. is lived up to in the
army, human nature will be perfect,
wars will cease, armies will be unnec-
essary, and we can all go home. The
I. d. r. contains the ideal or perfection
of soldering just as other books con-
tain the ideals of other fields of human
endeavor. The ideals contained
in books, however, are rarely lived up
to in human practice. 1t is doubtful if,
in the whole history of military annals.
squads right or range estimating has
been accomplished absolutely, mathe-
matically correct. Yet despite human
limitations military evolutions and
routine can be made so nearly perfect
that human judgement cannot detect
any flaw. And when man becomes
imbued with the zest for doing things
perefct, life ceases to contain monotony
for him. When soldier becomes i'm
bued with the zeal to do the job per-
feet, war ceases to be hell and becomes
q positive fascination, compared to
which all other pursuits and adventures
appear tame. The field of soldier
ly perfection comprises all the details
of camp and campaign life from per-
lection in personal appearance to meet
ing death at the hands of the enemy
with the perfection of courage. An In
telligence Service man particularly
must strive for perfection down to the
smallest details He must ever bear
in mind the story of the loss of king
S-a1aa for tina want of nail

ENEMY PROPAGANDA
And the Glare in the SIX.
BY EDWARD J. RADCLIFFE.
Journalist Member Of 109th infantry
intelligence Ssrvice.)

Propaganda, deliberate or undeliber-
ate; directly inspired by the enemy or
not so inspired, but acting along lines
of the enemys interest, must all be
classified as enemy propaganda There
is q small percentage of the soldiery
in Camp Hancock and no doubt in the
other camps also, VINO are doing the
work of German agents, whether they
realize it or not. Baseless criticism of
the war policy of the government, crit
icism Of officers, which has neither sin
cerity nor logic, attempts to SOW dis
cord and dissatisfaction, is all enemy
propaganda in spirit if not in the let
ter, and those who persist in it must
eventually be dealt with as German
agents. The casualty lists in this war
will probably be big enough as it is
without having men within our own
lines whose work might interfere with
the smooth running Of our armies and
so increase the casualty lists. The man
in khaki who is under the impression
that the enemy is their officers and the
government rather than the Germans,
is a menace to the army to the coun-
, try and to the great cause for which
most OF the ClVlllZ6u WOI1u As AlsLLlIlS.
A glance at the international sky
line should convince evry soldier and
every American that this is a time for
only unprecedented loyalty. The defec-
ton of Russia creates appalling pos
sibilities for the indefinite prolongation
Of the war and even new and startling
waE aims. With the Reds" in the
saddle in Russia and the great pros
pect of them slipping into control in
Now she Shn oil in
dethroning the present miliaristic-m
archist government, every student of
the Red InternationaliSt" movement
realizes that the chances are hundred
to one of a quick new Russia-neW Ger
many alliance which will give national
leadership to the radical world move
ment and cause every country in the
world to rock with revolutionary at
tempts. No one who knows the TENDER
of the radical movement thinks for
moment that the Reds" would fail to
take advantage of such a propitious
world situation.
Even the prospect of the war enter
ing such a second stage is terrifying.
There is absolutely no doubt but that
the awful religious elmeEt would be-
come involved. Radical culture is an
tithetical to Christianity. the religious
and time -honored culture in nearly all
| the countries that would be involved.
The prospect of the radicals following
the lead Of "Old" Germany and enlist
| ing as allies all the Asiatics who may
still be stirred up to the fervor of a
| "holy war is one that would have to
be seriously considered.
One does not need a pair of field
glasses to see the red glare Stealing
! across the horizon, that would obscure
| the Red, White and Blue tints as well
as all other tints which we have learn
| ed to cherish and have faith in as the
4 best hope of mankind.
