in the interest of the Red Gross drive,

of the city's splendid work in raising
more than S218,O00 on the first day,

A small incident sometimes illumi-
mates a whole situation.
About month ago I was with one
of the Red Cross workers in Paris
when a message was brought to her,
a hurry call. Some one came in from
a town in the suburbs to say than an
American soldier, desperately i'll with
pneumonia had been carried into a
hospital where he was laying, alone
without friends, thousands of miles
from those who loved him and sur
rounded by people who spoke French
which he did not understand
We gathered up few things which
we thought might be Of use; as we
set out, another Red Cross worker
Joined us. She was carrying big
bunch of American beauty roses. Of
course, with a war tax Of ten percent
such as exists in Paris even on flow
ers. we looked askance at this ex-
travagant bouquet.
When we got into the hospital ward
it wasn't hard to pick out the Anne
can boy; his hair was so blond, and
his cheeks were flaming with feve

He was terribly i'll, and his eyes had

We laid the roses on the bed. The

Another night, down near the front
we were serving hot coffee and sand
wiches to the "Yanks" One of them
stood for long time leaning against
the canteen confer, asking for nothing
! but just staring at u.s. Finally he said
in a low tone:
Gee, but I wish l could see my
wife tonight"
So it goes. Man doesn't fight with
war engines only; he fights with his
heart and his could and these have
got to be sustained. The Red Cross
is the American soldiers best tie with
home. When you give to the Red
Cross, realize what you are giving

sacrifice. Think less about the war;

the first time in almost four years,

If you actually realized that the
humblest working girl in France was
turning toward you for comfort, would
you fail her? One of the little labor
ers, when she heard Of the work the
Red Cross Is doing in France. said to
me:

Why We Hate to Die

Even at this time of the year, when we have the weather and so many other things to distract our attention we find that We turned to thoughts of the future by contemporary, who remarks: "A philosopher who has been trying to figure out why people want to live has decided that it is curiosity, words to that effect. He that want to stay here to be observers. We know that cannot take an active part in the affairs of the world after
 few brief years, but regardless of how little part we are able to take after age has fastened it's fangs .onto us want to live onto what is going to ihappen. Those are the words of the philosopher .but they convey his meaning
 Curiosity is almost exclusively human weakness, if it may be called a weakness. But it is not weak mess, since it inheres solely in the lords of creation The so-called lower animals have little of it. sCats. it is true sometimes manifest appearance sof curiosity. But rule, the ordinary of illit iorate quadrupeds almost totally devoid of curl .osity
 ! Therefore, they do not look upon death with the srepugnance which characterzes in his itcmplation of final dissolution. Men are always interested in the future and it's developments. The farmer is interested in the probable outcome his icrops; the merchant in the turn trade will tae the banker in the maturity of his notes the lawyer in ithe decisions to be handed down by the suprem. scour and the newspaper reporter in the forthcom- ing payday
 i All of us arc fastened to the future by mental ad !hesives hence dislike the notion of dying because i've fear 1t will deprive of all knowledge concern ing the outcome of things which the future as we know it. holds in abeyance. More than ever we do not want to die until the is finished, for it
 is possible that where be going no intelligence of the end of the struggle the terms on which it Twas ended may reach us.
 Z Even those of us who are most assured as to our
 final preservation among the saints are in no hurry Ito join them partly because fear that they will mot be interested in the things that interest us and partly because as understand that our happiness
 will be unalloyed and eternal will have plenty of time to enjoy it. And then, when things are going right here below. not in a hurry to leave
 It is said that man who is desrous of leaving the community in which he may be because he Is dissatisfied with his neghbors is apt to be dssatis fled with surroundings whatever they may be.
