Across the Seas the Call
X CROSS the seas from every war torn nation in
~ the Allied cause there comes the call for Red
Cross help.
It comes from soldiers who have grimly faced the

and throbbing wounds.
It comes from soldiers sick with fever, pneu-
monia tuberculosis.
It comes from soldiers crippled mutilated,
blinded who no longer fight and must be taught
and trained for useful occupations.
It comes from the underfed, shivering, helpless
prisoners in the German prison camps.
It comes from little children, orphaned, home

thousands.
It comes from mothers in the pillaged zones OF

with horror.
From all these millions of suffering human

upon our Allies cannot be giuen unless it be pro-

He is one of six, amongst the fifty men selected by General Pershing, who wears the famous French Cross of War for valorous action on the field of battle, presented to him with kiss on both cheeks by the French general acting for his government.
 He also has the distinction of being one of the first Americans to capture a German prisoner without the aid of the allies.
 Corporal Whited has had his bap- tism of fire, has seen his comrades fall at his side, has had a taste of Boche strafing, and a sniff of gas. He speaks with intense enthusiasm and admiration of the men fighting at the front; not only of the American fight CT, but of those heroic Frenchmen, Britishers, Italians and Belgians who are standing with their backs to the wall.
 He is anxious td get back to his comrades who are so vahantly holding the line-Somewhere in France. Corporal Whited will speak at Elks' hall, Wednesday evening, May 29. Ev- erybody invited.

WITH THE RED CROSS
Rv G M MiIlard

By G. M. Wlllaru Over there beyond the waters,
 In the conflict with the Huns, -- Where Democracy's brave daughters, Match the valor of her sons. Over there my thoughts go speeding With the Red Cross in its work, Binding up the bruised and bleeding, Friend or foe, cen Hun and Turk. Deeds of mercy, help and healing,
 Is it's mission everywhere,
 For that brave band am kneeling Night and morn in earnest prayer Over there my thoughts go flying To our Johnnie with his gun; Round about him comrades dying The chief mission of the Hun. Over there our gentle Mary
 Is enrolled beneath the cross, Half ashamed am l to worry
 Half ashamed to fear a loss. Sentenced to the rear to languish
 In the sunset of my years; Who can gauge a parents anguish? Who can chide me for my fears? Yet, however well I love them;
 'Gainst my love my heart IS steeled For I'm sure their God above them Would not call them from the field

TWO SONGS ARRIVE
 FROM CAMP MEADE

HUM UnIIlI mInpL Following we give the two latest | songs of the 27th Engineers at Camp l Meade, Md. According to the instruc- tion received the first song has tune of it's own, and the second is sung to the tune of "A Son of a Gamboleer": Oh, Kaiser Bill, you know we're com ing, -. And that's why you're shedding tears. Oh, Kaiser Bill, we've got you running, The Twenty-Seventh Engineers. And when we start to drift and stope, Bill,
 That will be your funeral nell, And when we load and spit the fuses, We will blow you straight to Hell.
 2 We don't care much for the daylight, For we were all born under ground. And we can dig those drifts and tun- nels
 So you'll never hear a sound. And when Jack Pershing gives the word, Bill,
 You'd better sing your little song, For we'll blow you and your army Back to Hell where you belong.
 3 The ship that takes us OCT the ocean Will surely spell defeat to you, For we've been waiting months and
 months, Bill,
 Just to get a crack at you. You'd better pack your grips and bag
 gage,
 For vour shift is nearly in, We'll be eating Christmas dinner At your palace in Berlin. Come all you gallant soldiers and Q story you shall hear 1 Of the trials and tribulations of an army engineer. They put a pack upon his back that weighed a hundred pounds, And they marched him to the rifle range to shoot a dozen rounds.
 CHORUS He's a hulluva, helluva, helluva hellu- van engineer,
 A rambling skate from any old state and nothing does he fear. He tries to do his duty and he tries to do it well,
 But the captain and the sergeant and the corporal give him Hell. They taught him every kind of gait to march, to run, to crawl; The first was bad, the next was worse the last was worst of all. He skinned his belly on the rocks and snagged it on nail, He'd have made a damn good lizard if he'd only had a tail. They took him to the surgeon and the surgeon grinned in glee. A shot in the arm will do no harm bring out my long skewgee. With fifty million typhoid germs pa trolling through his blood, Then they shot him fifty million more and then his name was mud. He drove a lot of drifts and stopes and tunnels underground; He burrowed underneath the BOche and never made a sound; And then he loaded up the mines and did it on the sly, And he blasted fifty thousand Boche and didn't bat an eye:
