THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the VIglIantes.

OF the Vigantes.
Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
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
Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast,
The old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
A Red Gross Man!

RED Cross WOaa.

The annual report of the War Council of the
Red Cross, submitted today to representatives OF
the 1854 chapters in the United States, and pub
lished in another column makes interesting, alb
sorbing reading; and we urge our readers to give
it a careful reading. 1t deals in stupendols
amounts: in hundreds of millions of dollars, in
million of members, in hundreds of millions OF
articles produced, and in thousands of active
workers. The figures are, in themselves, suffi-
GENTLY big to command the attention of the peo-
pie; but they are All the more significant when
one remembers that they tell the story of an or
ganization whose origin was in philanthrophy
whose service has been maintained by free gifts
of time and money to the cause and that it is
history's grandest testimonial to the basic inn
pulses which bind the world together
It is the story of the response of the Ameri-
can heart to humanitys needs It's characters
include practically every person in the United
States, for there are very few individuals in this
!. land who have not given of their means and of
their time to the work of the Red Cross. The
pride which Americans may properly take In the
achievements may certainly rank with the sat
isfaction which those same Americans derive
from the consciousness that their participation
in the present war has been for altruistic pur-
poses. Through the Red Cross America has
poured out 1926, 0eO 900 for the relief of suffer
all humanity which the organization is able to
touch. Through American military effort de-
mocracy and liberty for humanity have found
vigorous champion. The records in both in
stances are unequaled.

WINTER BEAUTY.

In the midst of the absorbing war interests
it is relief to turn aside once in while and
survey our civic problems. At present the first
matter to attract our attention,-physically and
financially, and perhaps, artistically,--is the
promised decoration along King Street which we
shall enjoy this winter, afforded by the stacks
of brick which are to rest on the sidewalks and
in the parkways until spring brings relief.
will come our share of snow and ice We look
forward with pleasure to the cubist disarrange-
ment of the landscape along King Street then.
Instead of the unbro1en expanses of snow and ice
we shall have walls of it, broken into relief here
and there We are even inclined to overlook the
bending effects of these bricks on the pave
ments there helped on by the freezing and UNI
freezing processes. We almost envy the pros
pectiye pleasure with which the residents there
will pass the winter, looking out against the
walls,-an entirely new xperence,-instead Of
to the streets.
However, it is war time and under the cir
cumstances everything goes. We might have
saved a few dollars by stacking them where they
would not have had to be hauled while present
high prices prevail; and we might have saved
a few dollars in repairs to sidewalks; but that is
neither here nor there The unusual winter
beauty will more than repay us for our outlay.
