the sudden cessation of war pictured to your mind
IL joyous epoch, to disengage thoughts of its
horror, and 1ul your of duty loyal American
the gigantic task that confrons the Red Cross
The task of reconstruction and restoration
The frighu1 carnage of battefieds; the agonies of

of civilians and noncobaants have ceased The death
and atrocities dealt to the unarmed and women,
who with the emblem of the Red Cross flaming their
bodies wanton1y murdered in their unselfish,
faering service humanity, will longer be recorded
The deafening crash of the deadly bomb, dropped
from Gods heights in the air hapless hospitals behind

What Does Peace, Mean to the World?

No vocabulary of the combined tongues of civilization
will be able to describe depict the ruin
anguish; the suffering and the death; the abnegation of
SELF and the spiritual bravery and heroism that have sig
nazed the records of these humantarians
Now the wake of Peace lies the blight of humanity
The most heroic work the world has faced, now
faces the Red Cross in its and mighty problems of
for millions left in the path of wars destruction
UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP for the Red Cross is
the great far reaching appeal
That membership asks for but two things-YOUR
HEART AND A DOLLAR. Can less be asked to do
so much? Your willing Dollar is magnified thousand
fold in your allegiance to the Christmas Roll Call.
Remember the words of our beloved President II sum-
mon you the comradeshp"-
Heed the NOW-See to it NOW-that your
Cross button bazons forth your breast glorfied
emblem of your duty done.

Italian Headquarters III NorlheiA
Italy. ian. 4.-The officer commanding
the 1,4oo Austrian prisoners captured
in the recent French success on Monte
Tumba gave the correspondent today
an opportunity to go among them ane
talk with OFFICERS and men on war con-
ditions.
A more miserable lot Of human be-
inss would be difficult to imagine. The
officers were in even worse condition
than the men. Their clothing was rag
ged and the tinselled ornamentationa
on the uniforms were green with rust.
The officers were unkempt and had not
been shaved for a week. Their red
hands looked like pieces Of raw beef
steak. None had overcoats as all were
Wearing light trench uniforms when
the French swept upon them.
Put On Bold Front.
Notwithstanding this they put on .
bold front and any one thinking they
are crushed is badly mistaken.
All ages were seen among the men
There was a boy Of 1S and man OF
50 with q gray beard. A coating OF
trench mud made them look worse than
they really were. Some wore shaws
and blankets. Their headgear consisted
Of battered helmets and caps or hoods
They tramped along sullenly. Each

chunk Of bread. The correspondent
tasted the bread and found 1t better
In quality than he had been getting IN
first class restaurants. The prisoners
said it was the best food they had had
In weeks.
Surprised BY Frsneh Attack.
The correspondent was told that the
method of French attack was an en-.
tirely new experience for them. Most
men were Moravians, Dalmatians and
Galicians. The sudden French charge
after the artillery fire bowled them
over before they had any chance to
offer resistance.
Concerning the war they all express
ed themselves as heartily sick Of 1t and
said the Germans weer keeping the
others in the fight. The offers were
chiefly Hungarians. They were very
cold and their. first request was fol-
warm iood. ~. ~ n 55-5'.si =;
I'VE have not had warm food foa
days said their spokesman.
.nAnd our own French soldiers die
not have warm food for nine days after
they arrived here" said the command
ant. He explained that fuel was al.
most impossible to get.
World Against Central Powers.
Asked about the war, the Officers
gave Americas entry into It as prool
that all the world was against the cen
tral powers.
One officer said that food was run.
ming low hut that conditions were bet.
ter In Hungary than In the othe,
countries.
The officers were very anxious Il
know when they would be removed Il

gratified to learn they would 60 thrr
