The Founder of the Red Cross.

Charles Downer Hazen, lecturer and
historian, has written for the July
Red Cross Magazine most eminent
article on Henri Dunant, the man
whose vision and years Of work led
to the founding of the Red Cross.
Out of the observations and ex-
periences of a crowded and heart
sickening week Battle of Solferino
June "a, 1850, out of the scenes
of bitter, piteous, unavailing distress
a thought gradually crystalized in
the mind of Dunant which was to be
the germ of great work of benefi-
cence. He saw that the mediral service
of no army could ever be adequate to
the demands of a great battle; he also
saw that no sufficient service of relief
could be improvised on the spot at the
moment Of emergency itself. AS there
were no signs that wars were soon to
cease among men, it was wise to draw
to obvious lessons of experience ard
prepare methodically, in times Of
peace, to meet the problems that wars
inevitably bring.

tifically with his best hands and

spirit that it might grow with mis-
needs. and at the hour that he judg-
ed best he let loose on world that
till then had believed there were linn

dared not sin.
But we have no conception-and
till the veil is lifted after the war we
shall have no corception-of the range
and system of these atrocities. Least
of all shall we realize, as they realize
in Belgium and occupied France just
across the water, the cold organized
miseries which Germany has laid up
on the populations that have faller
into her hands that she might break
their bodies and defile their souls
That is part of the German cresi
What understanding is possible with {,
breed that have worked for and
rought about these things?
"And so long as the Germans are
left with any excuse for thinking that
such things pay can any peace be made
with them in which men can trust
None. For it is the peculiar essenc
of German Kultur, which is the Ger
man religion, that it is Germany
moral duty to break every tie, every
restriction, that binds man to fellow
man if she thinks it will pay. There

Therefore all mankind must be against
her till she learns that no race car

There is a great satisfaction that
comes from helping fellow being in
distress. In the hustle and hustle
Of life today we overlook little oppor-
tunities to lend helping hand and
fail to gain the satisfaction that
comes through attention to this duty,
but A. C. Nesbit, farmer at Sky

lowing statement:

health, i went with him and made sure
that he got it. That is how much

HUMANITY AND THE HUN.
By Rudyard Kipling.

"Once upon a time, a hundred
years ago, there was large ana
highly organized community IN In
dia who lived by assassination and
robbery. They were educated to it
from their infancy; they followed it
as a profession, and it was also their
religion. They were called Thugs.
Their method was to disguise them
selves as pilgrims, travellers or mer-
chants and to join with parties OF
pilgrims, travellers and merchants
moving about India. They got into
the confidence of their victims, found
out what they had on them and in
due time-after weeks or months Of
acquaintance-tHey killed them by
giving them poisoned foods-sweet-
meats for choice-or by strangling
them from behind, as they sat over
the fire of an evening with knot
ted towel or specially prepared
piece of rope. They then stripped
the corpse of all valuables, threw it
down a we'll or buried it and went on
to the next job. At last things got so
bad that the government of India had
to interfere. Like all governments,
it created department-the Depart
ment of Thuggee-to deal with the
situation. Unlike most departments,
this department worked well, and af-
ter many years Of tracking down and
hanging up the actual murderers and
imprisoning their spies and confed-
crates, who included all ranks of So
ciety, it put an end to the whole bus
mess of Thugee.
"Even now there are people in Eng
land who find it hard to realize that
the Hun has been educated by the
State from his birth to look upon as
sassination and robbery, embellished
with every treachery and abomination
that the mind of man can laboriously
think of, as perfectly legitimate
means to the national ends of mis-
country. He is not shocked by these
things. He has been taught that it is
his business to perform them, mis-
duty to support them and his religion
to justify them. They are, and fol
long time past have been, as legiti-
mate in his eyes as the ballot in ours.
"This, remember, was as true o1
the German in 1914 as it is now. Peo
pie VINO have been brought up to make
organized evil in every form theil
supreme good because they believe
that evil will pay them are not goine
to change their belief till it is proved
that evil does not pay. So far th'
Hun believes that evil has paid hin
in the past and will pay him bette
in the future. He has had a goo,
start. Like the Thug, the Hun knew
exactly what he meant to do befor
he opened his campaign against man
kind. AS we have proof now, his poi
soned sweetmeats and knotted towel
were prepared years beforehand, an
his spies had given him the fulles
information about all thes people h
intended to attack. So he is doin
what is right in his own eyes. H

REMEMBRANCE.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Please allow me a small space in
your valuable paper for a few re-
marks of remembrance.
REMEMBRANCE is THE FATHER
OF WISDOM"
In my native land, which is old N. c..
Where | would be pleased to be,
l have home and mother dear
Who when I left could not conceal
that little tear.
I've a father back there, too.
Who scarce could say goodbye.
Even now l can see his quivering Iips
And the tenderness in his eve.
/ think I have lot of trouble
AS forward with my gun / go;
There is place where sorrow is
double
My father and mother know.
With changing scenes and things
quite new
Ny mind is kept from grief,
While back at home is the same old
thing
And nothing brings relief.
I may feel quite lonely
AS round the camp I go,
But | don't know what loneliness is
But my father and mother know.
Thus things go On whilest we are
apart,
My father, mother and l;
Asleep and awake our trust is in God
Who watches from on high.
God will bring right in the end, 1 know
If father and mother pray,
Then their hearts will be filled with
happiness
On my returning day.
Yes, if you don't know about grief
For the answer do not roam:
60 back from where you came from
And ask the old folks at home.

THE MAN BEHIND
THE TRENCH

To say something of the man behind
the trench
We must remember we'll and bear in
mind,
That earnest prayer to God
Will win the war in time.
Our soldier boys are at the front
With bayonet and gun
To make the naughty Kaiser squirm
And put him on the run.
They're nobilizing at the camps
And going through the drill,
And we needn't doubt they'll make it
warm
For bcastful Kaiser Bill.
The boys are gone to do the great
work
That they, are resigned to do,
And we at home must help them to win
That wicked Kaiser crew.
Our soldier boys are in the trench
With gallant hearts and true.
But there's work of war a-plenty
For the left-at-home to do.
For the farmer and the merchant
And the man who owns bank,
And the man who runs a tractor
And the man who turns a crank.
For the business man, the Office man
The man who wields a wrench.
Oh, there's work. and plenty Of it
For the man behind the trench.
We must save and we must hustle
AS we've never done before
We must save the stuff to feed then.
So the boys can win the war.
They can win it if we help them
If we do our duty plain
In our stores and fields and work.
shops,
With our money and cur grain.
The business man, the farmer man,
The busy financier,
The dairy man, the orchard men
The jolly muleteer.
The barber and the preacher
And the banker and the cook,
And the man who raises pumpkins.
And the man who writes book.
There's duty clear for all Of us,
At Office, field and bench:
We can win it if we each will be
The man behind the trench.

A WAR OF SIN.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

I wish to take some space in your
most welcome columns to say a few
words about this great conflict of war,
some call it, but call it sin. If our
old world was inhabited by good
Christian people we would have no
war. If that should be the case,
must say that sin is the cause of this
great war. In olden days when Noah
was building the ark, sin was here and
the sound of his hammer should of
been good warning to the people in
that day; but sin went on and our old
world was destroyed by water.
So Noah took God for his leader
and was saved, he and his family. We
have this same God Noah had, and if
we will have faith like old Noah we
will win this great war of sin.
