YOUR RED CROSS

Americans who contribute to the work ot she American Red Cross in Europe today constitute the army Of the United States on the fighting front in France. They are not living in the trenches, they are nor firing a gun. they are no, flying in the air, but they are helping France to do all these things until the army of the United can take it's place in force on the firing line
 The manifestations Of sympathy and sincerity which the American people as a whole show 10 France through the Red Cross. raise in pro portion -he morale ot the French army and the French people. Thus the Red Gross is for the time being. the bridge over which the United States is pour ing it's money and it's help until such 2 time as il can lif, at least part ef the burden ot actual wa. eH the sheui- ders of the French nation
 The suggestion frequently has been made that ,ha American Red Cross is doing and attempting 10 do many things in France which ought to be done by the Government Of the United States This oyerlooks the fact that while the Red Cross primarily is or ganized 70 give relief on 9 large scale, + is also -he best medium ye. devised for rendering international assistance aoE under the guise Of charity, but with full understanding tha, nations as well as individuals, though sorely wounded and tried, can have pride. and that official assistance by one gov e-nmenG 70 another may not be nearly as effective zs the voluntary offerings ci the whole people ot the United States in France
 There is peculiar physiological factor in giFing and receiving assist aace which must always be reckoned with In this instance 1T is the firm belief ot the Red Cross officials that in amalgama-ing and coordinating nearly all Of rhe private agencies con duc-ing relief in France before the United States went 10 war, and in CO., operating win the French Government and such other organizations in France and elsewhere doing the same

SHOPPING-PERSONALLY CONDUCTED-FOR U. s.
 SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

The American soldier in France is good fighting man. But when he faces the French shopkeepers,-that auiek-1ongued. sharp-eyed little wo- man who keeps the tih as full as she can while her hushasd fights. he is glad enough 10 have an American wo- man beside him.
 So the Red Cross woman at the line ot-communication canteens have a new job. They take the boys out shopping
 There are a string Of towns along the railroads where if is common sight nox @ see hundred American soldiers hurrying about she streets, using their precious quarter hour or So, while they wait for connections, in laying in a stock ot tobacco or food or sweets And heading a group of 9 score here and dozen there you will see an American woman. shepherding the whole crowd like a new kind Of non-com; marching them into the shops. 5ranslating their wants into shop keepers French. counting their change for them. and generally serv- ing as guide. interpreter, and guard ian There is usually troop of youngsters bringing up the rear, chat iering and siggling and scrambling now and then for the coppers that the soldiers throw among them.

First Introduced Canes.

The Mexicans first used canes in America. When the Spanish con- quered the country, a queer custom was introduced. The chief executive of the towns carried a stick with a gold or silver head. It was a kind of scepter
 The people, of course, rarely knew how to read or write, and when any one was wanted for a crime, one of the mayors subordinates would take the cane, find the culprit and place it horizontally upon the latter's chest.
 The proceeding was equivalent to a summons, and the man had to ap- pear before the mayor under the pen alty of being cast into prison. This action was borrowed from Spain, where it still prevails in the more i'm pertant actions.

 Non-Partisan investigations.
 So far no one can say there has been partisanship in any of the invesuga- lions of the war work of the govern ment. While sharp and pointed ques- tions have been asked, and implied criticisms made by senators in queries or. comments, these come from men of both parties. It is observed that in the military committee Democrats like Chamberlain. Hitchcock and Mcclellan ask as pointed questions as Republic ans like New, Wadsworth and Freling- huysen.
 Will government control of the rail- roads improve the mail servicea There has been quite a lot of complaint about the service for several months past. and blame has been placed alternately upon the mail service of the railroads and that of fhe department. Each has asserted that the other was largely responsible for shortcomings. Now that the government operates the roads there can be no divided responsibility.

MANY At PARKS IN SPITE
Of WAR AND TRAVEL BAN
Supt. Mather Reports Visitors for
1918 to National Reserve SO Per
Cent of 1917 Total.

In spite of war and enforced restric-
tions on travel, during the 1918 tourist
season, the number OF visitors to
Americas national parks was SO per
cent of the total in 1917.
Stephen T. Mather, superintendent
of the national park service estab-
lished a year ago. has reported to
Secretary Lane that visitors this year
numbered 454.S41, against 490,705 in
I 1917. For 1919. the director antici-
pates that the new privileges and the
released restrictions will lead to i'm
mense increases.
Director Mather urges that the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado be add
ed to the list Of national parks. and
that steps be taken to acquire for the
kentucky, the Sand-dune area in Indi-
ana and the gigantic tree areas in
CaliforniA.
Total appropriations for parks car
ried for the year beginning June 80,
; 1918, were Sl,O12,000, Mr.. Mather re-
parks. in the year ending the same
date, were $217,105. as compared with
s1S0,571 in the previous year. Point
ing out that large number of gifts
of lands and rights of way have been
made to the park systems. and are
ture, the report suggests that per-
, inanent legislation be enacted to al
low the Secretary of Interior to &C
'cept these, and to accept money gifts

railroads is also asked. that the travel
