rendered himself to the Germans and
as we'll as brought the French nation TO
the verge of despair. The Germans
made the cup which tn, French had TO
drink as bitter as possible.
The French in the present struggle
with Germany have touched the hearts
of the entire world. Uncomplaining,
daring, with dexterity that is marvellous,
the French have either rolled back the
hosts of Germany, as at the Marne, or
held them at bay, as at Eerdun. In
man power the French do not equal the
Germans. but each Frenchman in the
present struggle is host. AS Lafayette

Frances aid when they need us most.
Rev. Mr.. Wood then spoke of the raw.
ages Of the Germans as they endeavored
in French territory. One of the pic
lures showed the Germans driving
French women TO work.
The speaker then showed that the
French are a match for the Germans in
the feeding of her army. in war appli-
ances and in spirit. He showed many
most interesting pictures describing the
ingenuty of the French in the present
struggle, among them being a fine pic
ture of French tlame-throwing attack.
Other interesting pictures showed
dogs serving their masters in the
war. the French hospital barges on
the Seine. the use of dogs in Red
Cross work and General Petain deco
rating a French soldier. Fine por-
traits We're shown of General Joffre,
Gens:al Petain and President Poin-
caire. The landing Of American
troops in France was described in
picture, and also We're shown an iron
cross and a placard left by the Ger
mans TO taunt the French. and the
French reply of a dead submarine
The great drive on Paris failed,
said Rev. NJ. Wood. The failure to
take Paris was really humiliating
German defeat. The failure to take
Nerdun marks the end of the second
phase of the Great war. In closing
he said that today we proudly ac-
claim ourselves brothers in war Of
the French people and that when the
fight is won and world democracy
assured. we may gratefully acclaim
ourselves brothers in peace.

Stirring Addresses Made by Four

Better than print could picture or

tured clearly the conditions that make
necessary the monumental labors of an
organization like the Red Cross.
Particularly striking were the avia-
ton pictures ending with thrilling
climax when French machines brought
down a Boch flyer. The pictures taken
from an airplane, showed him plunglng
helpless to earth, ending with view
of the tangled and smouldering wreck
age Of his machine. The big thrill in the
tishting pictures was the only bonatide
picture ever taken OF a French charge
showing the troops throwing themselves
out of the trenches and charging fear
lessly across No Mans Land.
The second picture. Field Service on

activities, especially the noble work
