American troops would be held back

THE RED CROSS MAN
BY AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the Vlallantes.

OF the NtaiIantes
Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And sapped with vile disease,
Back to the land Of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard eSales came,
Young wheat was green above the scars
Of steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Gross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast,
The old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel Of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
Red Cross Mani

MEN WITHOUT \ COUNTRY IN BAD
 PREDICAMENT
Former Russian Officers in
 Cant Work Cant Fight" Class.

Washington, Aug. 22-More, than 100 Russian army and navy officers now in this country virtually find themselves in cant work can't fight class. They came to the United States in various official capacities for the old Russian government under Czar Nicholas, but with the fall of his empire their official positions like wise perished.
 They now find themselves as men without a country, their old land in turmoil and their funds-though many of them were rich in Russia almost exhausted. All are said to be anxious to return home but getting to Russia now is most difficult.
 The plight of the men, however, has been called to the attention of of fcials of the United States govern nent, who are seeking to place the men in government work, it was said today. Private concerns are also en- ploying them, getting in touch with them through the Russian embassy. Among, the army officers are found men ranking from lieutenant to ma jor general and among the navy those ranking from ensign to commander.

MANY MARRIAGES
 MADE IN HASTE
 MAY BE UNHAPPY

These are days when many mar riages are occurring in haste. Sud- den calls to soldiens result in a sud- den determination of the soldier and his sweetheart to wed before his de- parture. Frequently but a few days Is taken to get ready for the fateful step. The frills and furbelows of fashionable weddings are absent. There are neither bridesmaids nor ushers. Probably the bridegroom and the father-in-law are secretly pleased to escape a lot of obnoxious formalities. The brides perhaps feel little pang at missing the customary celebrations.
 Many cautious people feel that a lot of these marriages are undertaken very impulsively. with little thought about the fitness of the union, and that when the soldit9 returns the we'd ded life may not be happy. It means in some cases that the bride must soon be a widow, with the bunden of @ child to bring up and educate.
 This Is no time for sudden senti- mental attachments and love at first sight, kindled by the fascination of a uniform. Soldiers have always had a traditional power over the girls. There is something about their garG and carriage and assurance that the feminine heart can not resist. Man riages of that kind give little prom ise of performance. The girl so cas- fly won may in the absence of her husband be lost with equal speed.
 Where young people have known each other well and have fully resolv- ed to marry, it would seem we'll to set aside some of the ordinary con- alterations of cool prudence. Other wise the ginl would have many re- grets in t5Se sad case that he did not return.
 It will be a comfort to the boy ir the trenches to feel that she is fin ally his, and both of them will beal the separation better. He may re turn not fully able to earn the kinC of living the girl is accustomed to But life is full of risks that mus be taken. If the girl has the soldiel spirit, they will make their way.
