MEXICO SAILOR BOY
BRINGS BRIDE HOME

Life on a dreadnaught of Uncle
Sans Atlantic fleet is very facinating
according to Seaman Richard McKin-
ney of this city, but there is something
else that has a greater charm and that
is Miss Marie Rountree of De Sofa,
Kansas. Richard Is home on a fifteen
day furlough. He arrived in Mexico
Monday from Kansas City where he
went to get his bride-to-bc. The sea-
man blushingly admitted Tuesday that
the wedding would be some time this
week.
A Dreamy Naval Life Was His.
Last winter while still a student of
Mcmillan High School-where by the
way he lead his class in scholarship.
Richard went TO visit his aunt, Mrs.
Frank Gibson, formerly Of this city,
in De Sofa Kansas. There he met
Miss Rountree. His visit was entirely
too short after that; and ever since he
has mad a dominant desire to be back
in Kansas. At the Great Lakes train
ing camp where for several months he
was stationed as a recruit, he dreamed
of her. At Hampton, Road, Va,
where he received final training be-
fore going TO sea, he thought of her.
On deck patrolling to Atlantic for
German U-boats, he unused of her.
With a furlough in his hand he made
dreams realisms and sped to Kansas
for his bride.
He Worked Hard Though.
But love did not interfere with Nc
Kinney's work and since being assign
ed to the U. S. S. Utah he has made
a splendid record. The advancement
to second class and the privilege Of
sailing on the flagship of his division
Of the Atlantic feet are honors in
themselves. The U. S. S. Utah is one
Of the largest dreadnaughts in the
United States Navy, and as has been
said is now acting as flagship Of the
feet. Seaman Mckinney has been on
. board for over a month now.
He Tells q "WhoOper" Tale
Mckinney is full of fish stories"
now; perhaps because Of his close
association with the sea. He tells one
with a little hesitation which might
indicate that the party who takes the
lead in the adventure was named Nc
Kinney. This is the tale: The big
ship was laying at rest in an Atlantic
harbor. One Jackie because Of an

Children

THE spirit of the children of France makes
L doubly worth while the efforts of the Red
Cross to save them Major Murphy tells this
story,
Il remember was at one time outside Poper-
ing. went there to little home which was
maintained for refugees. It was hospital and
q home. saw soldiers "a mutilated soldier
was walking across the lawn, and he was leading
by the hand little boy about eight years old who
had bandage over his eyes. That child had
been blinded by German SHE'LL and they had
to take out both of his eyes.
"IIe did not know he was blind. He thought
it was the bandage; and even when they took the
bandage off he still thought there was some
thing tied over his eyes. He was very happy,
and had no idea of the seriousness of the situa-
ton. While standing there talking to this
soldier, the little fellow put his bandaged head
down on the ground and turned somersault.
There is 80 much of that spirit over there"
T N THE ordinary course of days work, a
i Red Cross official sent in this report to the
Paris headquarters:
"There arrived last week at Evian, where the
repatriates from France and Belgium are re-
ceved back into France, q train loaded with Bel
gian children.
"There were $50 of them thin, sickly, from
four to twelve years of age children of men
who refused to work for the Germans and of
mothers who let their children go rather than
have them starve. They poured off the train,
little ones clinging to the older ones, girls all

the long way alone.

The Red Cross is helping our soldiers and sailors
in a practical way. It is helping the comfort
and the spirit of our Allies, and in both these
things it is helping to shorten the war by rem
dering more effective the service of the armed
forces Of all the Allies.
But beyond its practical help it is dedicated
to the alienation of human suffering. and this

War has not brought new sufferings, but it has
enormously multiplied suffering and has caused misery
to fall in new places and in horrible combinations
The old who protected, the children who were
sheltered, the women who cherished, have been
called upon to endure to the uttermost Upon those
countries exhausted in death grips the blows have fallen
hardest; upon those least able to meet them caamtes
have piled upon calartes. 1t happens that this full
load Of tragedy has not fallen upon U.s. but it happens

Serbia

CRUSHED by the combined Austrian-Ger-
Oman advance, the nation of Serbia was over
run; its population forced into exile or left in the
hands of the invader, Serbia was no longer
vital military factor in the war. The contribu-
ton of the American Red Cross to the people Of
Serbia is an expression of human kindness on
the part of the American people to suffering
nation.
! When the Red Cross Mission went to Serbia,
the Austrian atrocities had reached their zenith.
The Austrians had set themselves to annihlate
that nation. In some places the people were
driven by soldiers with fixed bayonets into court.
yards of the schools and there shot down. In
others, they were tied in groups to hayrcks which
were then set on fire. Victims were left hanging
by scores to village trees.
There is little strip of Serbia in the neigh
borhood of Monastir that has been saved from
the invader, and it is here the Red Cross is help
ing what is left Of r-bia. There are FL 900 acres
Of fertile plain in this district and to this district
the Red Cross is sending enough seeds and farm
machinery to assure the production of thousands
CT bushels Of barley rye, potatoes and other food
produce this year.
The $4,000 Serbians huddled into this district
will become self-supporting. The medical assist
ance, the sanitary help necessary to these women.
children and old men, is being provided. There
is hope for at least this little remnant of brave
people.
