At theater the other day a box

for that victory at the battle Of Chateau
Thierry. Some were without arms
and others without legs; others so bad

Germans they probably will not live
more than a year. But from every one
of them came strange spirit Of spir-

erect and smiled as though to say, 1T

something tugged at our hearts and
brought singing tears to our eyes.
What have the most actively patriotic
of US done to compare with them7
We are past the time Of mere logi-
cal calculations. Our hearts and souls,
as we'll as our minds and bodies are
In the struggle. And we are winning,

tiding OF new victories. But remem-
Der, we have yet to strike the final
decisive blow. And without money we
cannot do 1t.

Of influenza, starting somewhere In the

thence over practically the entire CIV

although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that It originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at

mention the disease as occurring along

Pacific Division Red Cross Nurses

Women of the Pacific Division have arisen to the present epidemic emerg- ency in a manner which is beyond mere words of opprobation. There is continued need of women's ministra- tion and>the Red Cross feels it can de- pend upon the daughters of the West to keep at the helm until the last vis- age of the storm has disappeared. The Division Bureau of Nursing supplied every available nurse and aid at it's command, then called on laywomen to fill up the gaps in the army of helpers to care for the thousands of sufferers. Chapters in all afflicted districts have handled the situation in a splendid manner and the Red Cross has again lived up to it's real ideal.
