If our children don't want them, why
not distribute them among the refugee

saying this I am not less ineistent
that Germany and her people should
get all that is coming to her in re-

committed on the civilized world
then, if we demand that Germany pays
dollar for dollar for every bit Of DAM
age she has done, kindly tell me how
she can pay this debt if we and the
rest of the world place boycott on
her commercially and refuse to buy
her goods. If man owes you debt
you cannot hope to be paid If you en-

civilization presents against her or
whether we are going to let her go

believed that there need be no furth-

know as definitely as possible the
plans of this, their national humani.
tartan society.

man service.
Work During Great War
"Since Americas entry into the
war, the purpose of our Red Cross
has been, primarily, to aid our army
and navy in the care of our own mer
under arms, and secondly, to extend
relief to the soldiers, sailors and civil

fighting our battles along with theil
own. With the funds which have
been so generously contributed by
the American people this war work
of the Red Cross will continue and be
