determined you become that it soon
will be out of France. II have seen
wheat fields that should have been
worked by peaceful farming folk; in
stead they were dotted with dead and
filled with machine gun pits. The
horrible uselessness Of it all grips you
and makes you see that it Is simply
an age-old struggle of right versus
wrong, and that the outcome of it is
as clear as the past history of the
world. His eyes have seen "the
glory"
The quiet poise of the English wom-
men in their war work, the intense de-
votion of the French women in their
almost overwhelming tasks are reali-
ties. What makes it all possible? I
believe they, too, have entered in"
They are going shoulder to shoulder
with their men into that new Land of
Real Things; that land where just a
few big things count-Life and Love
and Death-devotion to Truth, Honor,
Righteousness, the only things worth
living for, because they are the only
things worth dying for
Through those stricken countries Of
our allies, our beloved Red Cross flows
like river of molten gold through a
country Of desolating sorrows, because
it's thousands Of workers are touching
the real things-shoulder to shoulder
with our men. Here at home we must
bridge the gap. I believe we shall
the American women will not fail
They, too, will "enter in" (From a
letter of June Lucas.)

Line upon line Of khaki-clad boys
swinging along in the darkness of the
night beneath my window in a small
town near the front, going forward to
fight; to die for real things, and that
steady English voice came back to
-"they had entered in"-our men
in the fght-our dead, our wounded,
our sick; were the people at home just
anxious for them, worrying until they
were soul sick, or had caught the Wis

Is there a gap? Are we bridging it :?
Can we speak their language? Will
we understand these "golden boys"
when they come back with eyes shin
ing with the deeper things Of life?

there comes to me these words from a

THE RED CROSS

Division Managers Instruct Chapters
'sNational Red Cross Headquarters,
says B. F. Bourne, division manager,
shave instructed me to request all
chapters to avoid making appeals for
funds or membership in connection
with the United War Work Drive to
be held in November.
ssThis conforms with the request OF
the President Of the United States
and with the resolutions adopted by
the War Council Of the American Red
Cross.
ssThe Red Cross, the week Of Dec.
JIG, will conduct national campaign
for membership, to be known as the
Christmas Roll Call. The next cam
paign for Red Cross war funds will
Be held some time next spring.
rThe activities oil the seven organ-
izalions making the United War Work
Drive are Of immense Importance. All
Red Cross chapters are asked to offer
complete cooperation instead OF in any
way complicating the progress Of this
November drive"
While Medina county was having its
Red Cross War Fund Drive last May,
I Cleveland and neighboring towns were
combining Red Cross with other war
demands In Victory Chest. Medina
County Chapter A. R. G. could not
enter into combination, for very good
and sufficient reasons: this drive was
the second Red Cross War Fund drive
\ but for Medina county it was the first
because our organization had not been
completed in time for the campaign
Of i917. It was therefore expected
\ that we would make a double-actior
effort for this War Fund drive to re-
establish our credit in the Lake Divis'
ion. This being done to the satisfac
ton Of all parties concerned, we are
now ready for the United War Worl
drive.
Until the last man is mustered out
until the army and navy hospitals
shall be without patients, until tn
s.scattered tribes" Of our allies hav'
homes and peaceful occupations, w
must GIVE and GIVE WITH 4
SMILE Of thanksgiving for our de
liverance.
