DECENTRALIZATION Of
ARMY is UNDER WAY

The Rehabilitation of Uncle Sans
big army is already under way and
many of our readers are wondering
lust how this task is going to be accom-
plished and i'll what manner the demo
bilization will take place. The best
information we could obtain from local
board officers and Others is that the
boys will come back in pretty much
the same way as they left. That is,
there will be no such thing as demo
bilization of soldiers by counties, states
or other territorial divisions.
We may expect our boys to come
hack in small and large groups after
the fashion in which they left. Sol
diers now at cantonments will be the
first to be released from duty. and
will include many boys from around
here. As soon as cantOnmentS are
emptied other soldiers will be returned
from abroad to these same canton
ments and then mustered out-Bar

Hands tremble as they seize papers

took possession of our town, you
stepped right into our hearts. We
tried to show you when you were here

ROLL CALL OF
| THE RED CROSS
Call To People of u. S. To Enroll
In Worlds Greatest Min
istry of Service

The Christmas Roll Call for this
year. 1918. is the one great and univer-
| sal call to the people Of the United
/ States to enroll themselves in the
grandest ministry of service that the
world has ever known.
/ In answer to the call of humanity
voiced by the president, the thinking
people of the nation have been unified
for the advance of liberty and the
rights of man.
The man power of the nation has
| been given unstintedly for the prosecu-
tion of the war. and for the strength
ening of our allies.
The producing power of the nation
| has built UP soffd, serried line of
great corporations. immense factories
and vast industries.
| The labor power of the nation has
given quick and loyal array of mil
lions of skilled and unskilled workers.
Brain and Drawn, capital and labor,
have We'd with each other in instant
response to the call that. challenged
them to the willing task of winning the
war
Not that we love war; not that
mailed fist and shining armor and
cleaning sword had any place in our
American vocabulary Our passion
was for peace, but we found ourselves
forced back into the jungle, face to face
with the law Of fang and claw, where
we had to fight or be destroyed, and
I<N<.s II I.J1< 10 II
stroyed- to see Liberty perish among
men-we chose to fight until the foul
thing that dared to stand athwart the
path of human progress was beaten
and buried forever from sight.
All this America has done and is do
ing. and our army and navy is the soul
of she nation mobilMed for victory.
But there is another side to the ma
TONS life-another phrase of the ma
tion's duty-Justice itself stands in
line for the punishment, the elimina-
ton Of wrong, and it stands equally
for the recognition and establishment
of righteousness.
Behind the purpose of war that
would combat and destroy, there must
be continual force that will conciliate
and renew. That force springs from
the soul of the Red Cross. 1t is the
nation mobilized for service.
The United States entered the war
for the vindication of an ideal. The
Red Cross is founded on that ideal.
1t is the greatest mother in the
world because it is the embodiment of
unselfish mercy, and unselfishness is
the test of brotherhood, just as the
brotherhood is the test of democracy.
In the days that are to come, when
actual peace has finally been declared,
and the world is struggling with the
work of rebuilding what war has de-
stroyed, of gathering the scattered of
bringing succor to the weak, establish
ing law and order where chaos and
confusion has reigned, it will be the
spirit of the Red Cross, incarnate in
the world wide ministry of service
that shall guide the feet of the nation
along the path Of enduring peace.
Through carnage, desolation, blood
and mire,
Mid scenes that cry to an aveng-
inc God,
The Red Cross Army moves
through scathing fire
Clothed in white garments with
quick mercy shOd.
Commissioned is that army from
above:
It's standard is Cross, its
watchword-L

The mole In question lived under @
piece Of rock wall near the garden
fence.
When Uncle Joe came home to din.
ner on one particular Saturday he
walked down to the corner of the gar
den fence, and there saw the havoc
Prince had wrought. In following the
line OF the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under The picket fence
and had torn up two currant bushes
and done some damage in the straw
berry patch.
"And the worst of 1t is" grumbled
the hardware dealer, ''he never caught
the mole. That mongrel really isn't
worth a bag of dornicks to sink him In

Vaguely these facts had become
known to Carolyn May. She never
