IRlsHMEN OF DRAFT AGE,

The number of men in Ireland avail
able for military service is not def
nitely known. An authoritative state
ment, issued on October Is, 1916,
placed the total number of men of
military age at 547,S27. OF these,
130,S41 had enlisted for the war. Of
the remainder it was considered that
the labor of 245,S75 was indispensable
either because they were building
ships or producing food for the war.
A certain number, O7,492, were found
to be physically unfit; but, after set
ting aside all those men whose labor
was considered ndispensable-that is,
substitute for military service-and
all the physically unfit, there re-
manned 1929, or four full army
corps.

WAR SPECIAL.

We must not print any information
likely to encourage the enemy, but
we think we may defy the censor by
publishing the following:
ut is stated that the allies left
is trying to move around the Ger
mans right, but the Germans right is
also moving around the allies left.
Now, if the left of the Germans right
moves around the right of the allies
left, then what is left of the Germans
right must be right where the allies
left. But if the Germans rights left
is right where the allies left right
was right before the allies left, then
the left is left right where the right
was before the left's right left the
rights left"
What a wonderful thing military
strategy is, isn't it?''

YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Without a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the VigiIantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument of
mercy the world has ever SEEN Noble as the
service of mercy and hepfuness was in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it UNNECESSARILY not
only in the range and variety of it's effort but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, may say, the arms of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort Them The Red
Cross is an army svithom gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache Where the
flag Of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them; that it's work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius
We have all contributed to the Red Cross we
shall be called upon again to contribute to it's
funds.-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is a war for
the defense Of civilization, and we of great, Free
splendid. glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

were started on their way toward new
apartments, rooms and sleeping wards.
We here ut home who associate the
great Red Cross movement with band
ages and white gowned nurses must
lose this old illusion in the light Of a
thousand other works for humanity.
In this case we see the Red Cross
first as diplomats convincing the civil
authorities Of Paris as to their ability
to remedy the situation, then as
architects remodeling buildings, chang
ing building plans, hiring labor gath
cred by themselves from the ex-sol-
diery and the Older man, all the while
working under every imaginable hand
leap, while Father Time cried, "Get it
done, get it DONE"
So out of the garrets came these de-
spairing people to find new hope in
clean homes, to get new cheer out of
sheer bodily comfort and fresh cour-
age to again take up the great trust
that France has kept so well-"to car
ry on" 1t is not strange that our
French brothers believe in your own
Red Cross just little more than you
do. But should this be?

The avalanche Of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north of
France had been the despair Of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were new RESPONSE
bility to be added to the thousands of
wounded men that came steadily from
the shambles of the west front.
Paris is an old city. 1t was not
ready to take in it's neighbors' chill
dren. Its population was already q
tight fit. So it made the best of it's
poor hospitality by offering up it's gar
rets. New building construction SEEM
ed impossible. Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning the
trenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t is wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met it
with the aid of our own Red Cross
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls and
Jumper, carried the bod, became archi-
tect, engineer and contractor and went
into the building Of homes. Here was

unfinished hospital; there worn out

THE MOTHER.

1 do not grudge them: Lord do not
grudge
My two strong sons that have seen
go out
To break their strength and die, they
and few,
In bloody protest for a glorious thing,
They shall be spoken of among their
people,
The generations shall remember
them,
And call them blessed;
But I will speak their names to my
own heart
In the long nights;
The little names that were familiar
Round my dead hearth.
Lord, thou art hard on mothers;
We suffer in their coming and their
going;
And though I grudge them not, I
weary, weary
OF the long sorrow-and yet 1 have
my joy:
My sons were faithful, and they
fought.

A MONUMENT FOR THE
SOLDIERS.

BY James Whitcomb Riley.
A monument for the soldiers.
And what will We build it of?
Can We build it of marble, or brass,
or bronze,
Outlasting the soldiers love?
Can We glorify it with legends
AS grand as their blood hath writ
From the Utmost shrine of this land
of thine
To the outermost verge of it?
A monument for the soldiers!
Built of peoples love,
And blazoned and decked and piano.
piled
With the hearts We build it of!
And see that We build it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate,
And high in pose as the souls of
those
It would commemorate!

voice pipes up triumphantly from the

America was the bride of your choice

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the viqiIantes

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 exiles 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
Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on it's 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
A Red Cross Mani

ALL BROTHER HAD NOTICED
Father Need Not Have Worried Over
Possible Sad Erect Of Movies
on Little Son.

After all, it's hard to figure out cor
rectly the effect of the movies on the
child mind. 1t happened that mother
and sister had gone to concert and it
was up to father to entertain little
brother, age seven. Father likes the
movies-some of them-so he thought
that would serve the purpose. OF
course YOU can not tell much about
film by the name or by the pictures
But father likes pictures of western
life and he thought the horses and
mountains might please brother. So
when he saw the poster of Il cowboy,
In they went.
1t wasn't a very good sort of picture
as to theme, for it presented ruth
less outlaw and his gang of robbers.
When 4 wagon train of gold seekers
came across the desert he not only re-
fused to give them water, but drove
them off to perish Of thirst on the
desert. And there also was a dance
hall scene in the West. Father had
some misgivings as to his choice of
iuoNAS uIiu NtllNcIeN whether, Nl us
close, his son would elect tc be the
bold. bad bandit or the vice-enmeshed
owner Of the dance hall and gambling
hell. He said nothing but nnXiously
awaited the verdict.
When '"rhe End" came, brother
whispered:
Daddy, do you know who the cow
boy looks like?"
mo, brother Who?"

Flowing in Either Direction.
Because Of the toughness of the

cane-sugar plantation.
For this reason double-enGed pillow
Is used on Porto Rican sugar planta-
tions for preparing the soil for a new

which pull the pillow back and forth by
