TRINITY chapel In New Orleans since
1884. He takes keen interest in the
work of the Red Cross and in all war
activities. He regards membership in
the Red Cross sacred privilege.
But to go on with the story of a war
without the Red Cross. Reverend
Blackwell can tell only little part Of
the horrors Of sneh arfaFe one 81
the things that the holders suffered
most from was moESDtony-yes, and
the "blues." The soldier of today does
not know what that word means with
the Red Cross and canteen workers
and the Y. NJ. G. A. to entertain him
when he is well and to care for him
when he is iii or wounded, Read the
following extract from the diary of N.
NJ. Baker, chaplain of the One Hun
bred and Sixteenth Illinois regiment,
TO get an idea Of the Gimp life in the
days of eighteen sixty-something
Bang, bang, bang! The constant
firing for so long a time becomes mo-
EOtonous, one longs for something new,
something that will cause excitement
and shake off the ennul induced by
this hot weather. Excitement at last
Ia woman in camp, Mrs. Hoge of the
sanitary commission.
Reminded Of Mothers.
'sIt is amusing to see as she passes
how the boys leave of their rude
pranl1s and settle down as deInure az
kittens. She stops and talks kindly
to every group and the boys all feel
better after 1t. They are as polite and
proper in their conduct toward each
other for full five minutes after she is
gone as If they had suddenly beer
transported to civilization and to the
drawing room. On. what refining and
restraining influence even this wom-
an can exert. She is an old lady
and not handsome, but to use the ex-
preston of the boys, She has a soul as
large MS wagon wheel and somehow
reminds them all of their mothers"
Here is another typical day in camp
described iii the same diary:
ssRained today. Oh, how tedious
rainy dry is in camp! We eat break
fast, then lie down, then get up, eat
dinner, and lie down again, etc. etc.
Nothing to read, nobody to talk to,
nothing to do but to dream of home
and loved Ones"
Even these few stories cannot half
describe war without the Red Cross.
What about the food the soldiers hadf
What about the conditions in the hos
pitfalls? These questions can be an
swered from the diary Of another Civil
war veteran, Frank L. Richardson, q
well-known New Orleans attorney, who
entered the war when lad of seven |
teen. and unfortunately spent most OF
the time between those years OF 1861
1865 in army hospitals.
"No one can appreciate the work OF |
the Red Cross as wen as we Civil wal |
veterans says Mr.. Richardson
"That is why am proud to have my

To Fight Till Victory Comes
The President clearly showed, they
