HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK How an Italian Officer Travelling on Train
 Helped New Born Baby.

One of the ways to say that man Is good hearted is to descend Co eX- prcssive Americauese slang and say he'd give you his shirt
 A young Italian officer did exactly that-gave the shirt off his back to a baby just born Il was during a flight of the Italian refugees just after the Italian army had been tricked by the Austrians.
 Here's the story:
 An Italian officer, who had been a volunteer worker at the station when the crush came through, walked into the American Red Cross office at Eo- log%q. Italy, and told of a poor young woman who had given birth to baby on the train in which he was riding few nights previously. They had been riding for over 16 hours, and the

wretchedly poor and disheartened mother had been damned in with the hundreds of other frightened Italians on the same train. Hungry, tired and miserable and in frightfully weak ened condition, she had scarcely suffi- cient clothes for herself, not to speak of properly caring for newborn babe. The young officer stripped himself of his shirt, and there among this fright ened, half starved, forlorn crowd the poor Italian infant was wrapped in it's first body covering.
 Mother and babe were afterwards nursed back to health, clothed and looked after by the American Red Cross. And this Is only one small, is- plated incident among thousands that come under the working of the Red Cross.

 You changed that picture, you Amer jeans, who can never be bombarded, who can never lose through war five out of the seven dearest to you. It was not your husband and children who died; not your wife who was widowed; not your little ones who came back, bony and tubercular, to home that had vanished. Not yours, but only the grace of accident saved you; not yours, but 1t might have been and so you changed the picture. You could not build up with your own hands that heap of stones into a home, nor till the fields, nor bring Mime. Pel- Her back to hope and the children back to health But through the Red Cross you saved the remnants of that family that had suffered as you might have suffered
 Things the Red Cross Did.
 You took the mother of Mime. Pel- Her to a Red Cross hospital to be treat ed for anaemia. You took the little girl, who was in the first stages of tuberculosis, to a Red Cross sani- tarium. You found 8 place which could be made habitable for Mime. Pel- Her near her fields which she was anxious to till. You gave her clothes and furniture you got her seeds; you lent her implements. You sent a vis- iting doctor to watch over her health and that of her little boy You sent nurses, who achieved the mighty vic tory of making her and the child take baths. Later you persuaded her to let him go to a refuge not far away where he might attend school and where she could often visit him. Through the help of your Red Cross hope and cour- age and ambition have come back to that woman, and she is rebuilding her family life The biggest thing one hu- man being can do for another you, if you are a helper of the Red Cross, have done for that mother.

 This symbol of help has a double meaning now for Americans, who have always taken for granted the blessing of safety. It stands for your willing ness to pay the price of exemption, of pity, of sympathy. A bitter, black road this road of war, but across it, like beacon of hope, you have flung the Red Cross.

This Is the picture l saw last Janu- ary in France,-and you have merci- fully changed it Color enough there was-above, the eternal blue; in the background, fields of living green, which the German shells could not prevent from creeping back in the middle foreground, long village street so battered and burned that 1t was merely canyon of cream-col- ored ruins. In front of one little broken house were four figures in black-an old woman, poking among the fallen stones In vain search for something that could be used; a younger woman, seated on what had once been a doorstep, with her face hidden in her arms; and little boy and girl, who stared, half frightened, half curious. at the desolation about them. The little hoy held in his thin hand Red Cross flag. All four were pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies of the children showed none of the round curves that make the beauty of c child.
 This is their history: When the war broke out, Mime. Pellier, her mother and her four younger children were visiting her husbands mother in the north of France. Her husband and two elder sons were at home in Lorraine taking care of the summer crops. Then the war! The mother ln-law of Mime. Pellier was ill and could not be left. Her old mother was afraid to travel to Lorraine with the full care of the four children. Be fore they could all start together the Germans invaded Bad news is allow ed to come into northern France, and so as the months passed Mime. Pelier learned that her village home had been bombarded and that her husband and two sons had been killed Except for the Belgian Relief Commission, which operates in northern France also, she and her little ones would have starved outright. At the best they were un- dernOurished. Then the great push began, and hopes for France grew high. But as the French soldiers ad- vanced they had to Lombard the north ern towns. Mme. Pellier begged the Germans to let her. go away with her children-even into Germany. This was refused. She tried to seek safety In some cellar whenever there was a hOmbardment Nevertheless shell killed two of her children.
 Found Her Home Gone
 Home gone; husband gone; brave soldier sons gone; little, tender boys torn into shreds That womans face would have shown you what she had suflered-her face against the batter cd ruins the Germans had made At last she and her mother and her two remaining children were repatriated. They knew the infinite relief of cross

RED CROSS WORK.

 ing class are an enthusiastic group of workers, and there has been much friendly rivalry this week among the different units as to their output. Wednesday was the banner day, when 492 dressings were made, with Miss Julia Logan and Mrs. Wren Scott as captains. Each day almost that num- Der was made, excepting on Monday when only two members were pres ent Don't forget that the room is now open on Monday, and Mrs. Jor- dan and Mrs. Nelson need your SUD- port. If convenient, join this unit. There were 50 workers and 1872 gauge dressings made, inspected and tied up in bags. The following mem- bers were present one or more times this week: Mesdames Thos. c. Me Rae, Jr., c. H. Moore, A. s. Buchanan, w. R. White, IT,, Joe Boswell, Lizzie Jordan, Carleton McRae, Jacob Hes terly, J. w. Dill, L. c. Henderson, Wren Scott, Chas. F. Putnam, Doug las Brooks, E. M. Sharp, Jack John- son, Sam Taylor White, Will Sar- ruthers, A. c. Williams, Horace F.. Bemis, and Misses Sadie Griswold, Julia Logan, Beulah Greeson, Mamie Ward, Mildred Pye, Irene Denman, Mildred Hale, Opal Harrell, June Volway, and Lula White. We well come Miss Mildred Hale as a new member. Mrs. Goode Renfro, of Camden, visited the room Thursday, learned to make the wipes, and work ed for some time. Visitors are well come. Call and see our work.
 On Friday Miss Griswold busily folded gauge and at the same time told her co-workers of her trip to the Biennial She heard Geo. w. Sim mons, manager of our Red Cross di- vision, and we were especially inter ested in her account of his message.
 MT. Calhoun stepped in the work room, and at a glance mentioned two of our needs-an electric fan and screens. Judge Franks is going to have the floor oiled for us.
 The number of workers at the sew ing room was 73, and 40 bed jackets completed. There were fewer work CTS, and the unfamiliar short is the reason for smaller output. There are many faithful workers-one lady goes every day. A call has been is- sued to this chapter for comfort kits. Further information regarding them will be published in Mondays daily.
 The entertainment given by the Emmet high school was highly en- joyed by large audience, and the proceeds were $52.00.
 Mir. A. H. Smiths thoughtfulness in furnishing ice daily to both work rooms is greatly appreciated by the ladies these warm days. In fact he is regarded as life saver"
 Uncle Sam needs his nieces as we'll as his nephews. The Red Cross counts on you. Will you help?
