THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organization for the relief of suffering that the world has es- CT seen.
 It is made up almost entirely of volun- teer workers, the higher executives Icing without exception, men accustomed to large affairs, who are giving their ser vices without pay
 It is supported entirely by it's r.e!a- bership fees and by voluntary contribu tions.
 It is today bringing relief to suffering humanity, both military and civil, in 4v- cry War-torn allied country
 It plans tomorrow to help in the w rk of restoration throughout the world
 It feeds and clothes entire populations in times of great calamity.
 It is there to help your soldier boy in his time of need
 In it's thousands of workers, it's tre- mendous stores and smooth-running transportation facilities, it is a perfect example of Americas genius for organi- zation, of Americas generosity, and of Americas will to Win the War.
 Congress authorizes it.
 President Wilson heads it.
 The War Department audits it's ac- counts.
 Your Army, your Navy and your AL lies enthusiastically endorse it.
 TWenty-tWo million Americans have joined it.
 Every cent of every dollar received for the Red Cross War Fund goes for War Relief.
 The interest which accrues from the banking of funds has made actually avail able for War Relief, one dollar and two cents out of every dollar contributed.
 This week is Red Cross War Fund Week throughout the nation One hun dred million dollars is the nations goal
 While some one gives his life-what are YOU giving?

The Red Cross War Fund is title full of meaning, to be studied to catch it's full import. War fund.- always suggests to the mind money to buy guns, pay armies, build navles, forts and camps, purchase food and clothing for soldiers and every thing needed to equip an army to fight and kill opposing enemies. Red Cross War Fund has no such meaning. though called war fund It is used to save men from death, not to force them through it's gates; to repair the forces of life broken and shattered by missiles of destruction to care for children orphaned bv brutal cannon, and for helpless refugees made homeless by the hot blast of war. It means and is the expression of a con- science not smothered in the mad war Whirl of political interests of the wrold. qulckened into action by the tear in the voices going up to heaven and filling the ears of God The fund has it's founda- tion in the hearts of the people and de- bends for it's supply on the sorrowing sympathy of everyone who reads the story of suffering filling the past four years and widening as the days go by The deadly possibilities of this uefering reaching Anne; ican shores is n.t vet a7erted and depends on the sevond and tcirl line supporting the line now form Ing France.

LET GEORGE DO IT."

It is lamentable fact that thousands of otherwise good, loyal citizens of this country have never outgrown that boy lsh inclination to want George to do it. They have not realized that both them selves and George" have grown to mans stature and assumed mans obligations.
 In fact we as people have been long accustomed to regard with complacency that familiar quotation, "That which is everybody's business is nobody's busi- ness, until the very thought has become part of our natures.
 But We are now being rudely aroused to the unpleasant fact that George" is busy-too busy to assume the obligations that we fain would shirk He has also

to bolster up our falling belief by recount ing national glories of the past never achieved and glories of the future we will never realize. It is not hard to under stand the psychology of national mind if we know the educating factors. A nation may be brutalized by education or made vainglorious by flattery. Each nation engaged in this war is writing history for itself in deeds, and by our deeds we and all other nations will be known.
 American history is being written on the battle line today by the side of other men writing history for other nations. They are writing history with the sword and the world is anxiously waiting for the last chapter of the record. It is enough to say of these men, they are men with a great purpose in their hearts and count their lives but dross if they win it's accom- plishment. They have heard the call of a bleeding world and have responded in the spirit of their colleagues in Belgium, France, England and the countries allied in one common cause, to save the world from the philosophy that might makes right
 American history is being written in the homes of the American people, on the farms and in the cities, in the business houses and the great industrial plants of the country, in the pulpits and the halls of learning, and wherever the call is heard to make the world safe for peo- pie whose rights can never be alienated by the spirit of hell that has chosen body deformed with loathesome disease for a dwelling place and nation brutalized by education to be the instrument of death. The history that is being written by Americans on battlefields or at home, Is history of individual endeavor and will influence the destiny of this Nation in all time to come. It Is biographical and in many instances Is luStrOuS with soul light shining through deeds of sacrifice. But it cannot be said that all pages of our his tory now being written are radiant with deeds of self denial and patriotism. The shadow of selfishness, of disloyalty, of miserliness, of greed darkens the record to the eternal shame of some who are American citizens Those shadows also influence our National destiny and may predominate ln the warp and wool of American history read by generations to come. To the man who writes that shad- owed history, the mighty fact is, it is inn perishable and will live in eternal ages with the soul:
 Organizations other than the military are writing American history and mak- ing shining record that will inspire flu ture generations to emulate their deeds. The Red Cross, the Y M C. A., the Sal vation Army, not mentioning others, are on the battle line caring for the wounded, ministering to the dying, burying the dead and in hundreds of other places in hundred ways acting as the agent of our benevolences, it's members in active ser not do in person. Particularly is this not doin person. Particularly is this true of the Red Cross the history of it's inception, growth and development mak- ing page of American history shining with the Cross-light of Him who is the Light of the World.

 The Red Cross is making it's second appeal to the generosity of the country and it is entitled to most favorable near ing. There is no organization that mas done so much to promote human eOmi0h and relieve human suffering. Beslaes caring for our wounded and making ne endurable for them during their conVa' lescence in the battle-stricken and com, fortless regions of France, it has relieves and helped the hopeless and destitute felj ugees of Belgium and France.

flown and only the father and grandson
were found, who were summarily dispatched
as said above Though the entire week
was devoted to the ''nigger hunt" and
every avenue of escape watched by white
men, yet it was a seven-day wonder how
eleven black men could get out of hostile
country and no sight of them reported.
The colored servants at DR.. Bourbon's
were surprised to be dismissed by Miss
Lilly, but it being cotton picking time they
were glad of the opportunity to get out
and make some quick money. DR.. Bourbon
did his chores each morning before joining
the "nigger hunt" His advise was much
sought by the mob and he it was that
planned the manner of execution when the
Emancipation niggers were caught.
At the close of the week the men grew
weary of their tolls and slowly but surely
dispersed.
BY this time however a reward Of $4,000
had been hung over the heads of the fugi-
tives and detectives continued their search
in the hope of getting the money.
A month had passed since that sad Sat-
urday in October and Miss Lilly sent for
her servants and things moved on as of
yore. The earth had apparently opened up
and swallowed those eleven cOlored men
ana the WnOle AFFAIR was fdp1OlV DolnS Tor
gotten
Five years from that date one of the
Emancipation boys, who had nothing to do
with the killing of John Murderer, yea
verify, if Harrison himself had anything to
do with it, rode into Brandywine and was
warmly received by some of the merchants,
but brother Of John Murderer heard Of
it and with hOrsewhip and revolver in
hands walked in on him and began to lay
on, but down he went from great blow
of the fist of young Emancipation and as
MIR. Murderer rose he looked down the
mouth Of dangerous 1852 He backed
away, but in wtenty minutes he headed
mad mob and was seeking his victim The
young black man was not found, but Dr.
and Mrs. Bourbon had new livried SER
want the next day and drove over to Davis
Bend to visit friends and in the meantime
young Emancipation disappeared just as
suddenly on this occasion, as all Of them had
done five years prior, and yet there was no
family thereabouts held in higher esteem by
the white aristocracy than was Dr. Bour-
bOn's.
The conclusion of the whole matter is:

Committee Sends to Washing
ton for Dates Of Trans
port Arrivals.

Mayor IIylans Committee of We'll
come to Homecoming Troops got into
action yesterday and appointed Will
lam Randolph Hearst a committee Of
one to go TO Washington and make
arrangements with the War and Navy
departments to be informed Of the time
OF arrival OF transports bringing re-
turning soldiers.
Rodman Matchmaker, chairman OF
the general committee. announced that
work on the temporary Victory arch
to be erected on Fifth avenue and
Madison Square had been already be-
gun.
Daniel L. Ryan, chairman Of the
publicity committee OF the Mayors
committee, said yesterday that the
arch to be erected would be of tim
Der and white plaster, and that it
would cost considerably less than the
$50. 1000, which the Board of Aldermen
appropriated for the purpose on Mon
day.
George w. Loft, chairman. OF the
Mayors Committee on National De-
fence, wrote to Mayor Hylan yester-
Gay suggesting that the committees
work was completed and that the or
ganization might be dissolved. He
wrote: I'm my opinion, the signing Of
the armistice. which practically termi-
mates the war, makes the further con-
tinuance of our committee unneces-
sary. and 1 would respectfully ask that
you dissolve the same"
Mayor Hylan appeared to have some
doubt about Chairman Lofts optimis-
tic reference to the termination of the
war, and in his reply to Mr.. Loft did
not say whether he would dissolve the
committee or not.
BrooSlyn's plans for the reception
of its Homecoming "doughboys" and
bluejackets are extensive and a fund
OF $1,000 900 will be raised by popular
subscription for the purpose.

ton will be the sending of a food ship
ito the needy and the homeless ones
in Belgium and in France" Three
thousand tons of foodstuffs will be
loaded aboard the vessel and she will
sail for France in the name Of Brook
lyn's soldiers and sailors.
In addition Nathan S. Jonas, chair
man Of the Victory Day Celebration
