MOTOR TRUCK WORKERS
COME BACK FROM FRONT

Nearly 100000 men trained in
America from the European battle
front. Forrest j. Alvin, general man
ager of the United States Motor Truck
company. recently secured figures in
Washington to show that grand
total of 1891 men were at that
time actively employed on the battle
fronts of Europe serving American
soldiers. Many thousands of these,
after their experiences in Europe, and
other thousands who have been ac-
lively employed in America at the
same time, will elect to remain In the
motor truck business in one field or
another.
The war has given to these men
work, and they win avail themselves
of the opportunities which will be
offered at home to continue that
work, in the opinion of Mr.. Alvin,
who can see nothing but good to the
truck industry as result.
The men who are over there.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came TO the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
short time ago. One was a story Of
bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale of fears that brought smiles.
The first story was of a soldier who
asked for light. He was in bed, and
cigarette was between his lips, pIac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him q box OF matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with.
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that, = he said, "they were good
Irnits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before ! lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, SO therei'
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story Of 4.
big, husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that it was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheeplslrly. "You sure must excuse me,
ma'am, but this here book done make

THE RED CROSS =
IS REAL SERVICE
BY FRANK MORRISON,
Secretary American Federation Of
Labor

The work Of the Red Cross is not
confined to our boys on battlefield or
in hospital nor amidst the ruins Of Bel
GUM and other portions Of devastated
Europe. One of its great activities is
any necessary aid to tho dependents of
members OF Americas military forces.
On the battlefield the Red Cross pre-
sents an heroic figure. In America,
removed from destruction and death,
she Red Cross steps silently to the
side of the father and mother whose
boy is cover there" and who need coun-
sci and aid
No service is too small for the Red
Cross If allotments from the govern
ment or from their son are delayed, or
information on the governments war risk
insurance is wanted, the Red Cross is
both counsellor and friend. It enters into
the home in the true spirit of charity
secrecy.
But first and foremost our soldiers in
field and hospital must be given the most
attentive care possible. Nothing we can
do will equal their share in this move
ment for world democracy. and the Red
Cross presents an opportunity for US to
play our part in this great drama by
contributing 70 the extent of our ability.
The Red Cross appeals to organized
workers because Of it's one quality
service.
Behind Red Cross service is an en-
n0bling charity that is not defaced by
cost marks. a democracy that personifles
Jefferson's great principle Of equality and
4 religion that is beyond sectarianism.
