LETTER FROM EX-SOLDIER BOY

New Haven, Conn.,, April 29. Dear Mother:
 l fully intended answering your let ter yesterday, but went over to a fellows home to dinner and didn't get back until late last night, so knowing l would be off today, I put it off about my worst failing is putting things off.
 We have had some great speeches here lately, in the Liberty Loan drive. Daniels, secretary of the navy. spoke to the Winchester employees, praising them as industrial soldiers" and some are contented to let it go at that, but mother, am not. You can't un- derstand, you don't see and hear the wounded soldiers who are coming back now and are talking in the show houses of New Haven. We get more of them here than any other place, besides New York, and it keeps one fired with patriotism, and it isn't camouf1age; they tell their story in a simple, straightforward way; then the physical condition of some speaks more or better than words.
 This war is the greatest thing that ever happened or ever will, in the history of the world, and to miss it is to miss the chance of lifetime, a chance that will never come to any one again. This war and the time-honored topic, the weather, are the only sub- jects of conversation among the Amer ican people. and I, who will soon have arrived at the age when I will be al- lowed the privilege of talking with men, will have to set back like child of good manners, only speaking when asked. 1 have never looked into the matter of registering, as I am not old enough, besides my discharge is as good as registration card, were I ever apprehended for not registering but expect to volunteer if can come up to what is required to pass the physical examination, but do not worry, mother, shall come home be- fore doing so.
 You are right, only God knows the feelings coming through the hearts of the individual. l can't tell what to dc next-mine are divided.
 Your affectionate son,
 Thomas C. Thrasher.

YOUR RED CROSS An Army Wifhom e Gun
 By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
THE Red Cross IS the greatest in.
Of the ViqiIantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument of
 mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the service of mercy and hepfulness was in Civil War days the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not only in the range and variety of its effort but in efficiency and effectiveness.
 The Red Cross is, may say, the arms of the mothers of the world reached out to their sons to bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red Cross is an army aVithom gun that wages war only upon suffering and heartache Where the flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we know that this great agency of humanity presses close behind them; that its work is not incidental but the intelligent directed effort of one of the most marvellous organizations ever contrived by American genius.
 We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we shall be called upon again to contribute to its funds,-again and perhaps again. And we will respond again and yet again! For this Is a war for the defense of civilization, and we of great, free splendid, glorious America have every intention that it shall be fought with the army of the Red Cross soidly supporting soldiers.

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
 Of the ViQantes

Of the Viqantes. Broken with pain and weariness And sapped with vile disease Back to the land of ruined towns, Of murdered men and trees, Through Switzerland from Germany The trains of wreckage ran,- And on the French frontier they found
 Red Cross Man. And when to what had once been home Those haggard exiles came, Young wheat was green above the scars Of steel and blood and flame Round new built houses where once more The work of life began. And still they found to welcome them
 A Red Cross Man. There the husband casped again The wife he mourned dead The child was on it's mothers breast, The old were comforted. S... What wonder if they hope to find The Angel of Gods Plan Who meets them at the heavenly gate
 Red Cross Man!
