AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes OBue and TOusehead Learn About the Red Cross
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

We have talked it over at our house.
Talked it over as we have never talked
1t over before. We did not want Eyes
OBlue to know about it, nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart Of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world is q good and beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light in the humble little parlor at our
house, we talked it over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, 1t is not
all good; that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who In the furtherance of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them of
hands hacked from baby wrists, of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, If need be, die to keep this hor-
ror from our land. We told them of
burns and wounds and suffering.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-05-07

: And then-we told them of the Red
Cross.
We had a number of Red Crosses in
our windows, but they had not known.
We told them of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys in khaki.
We told them of the great need of
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning / went to- the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63. 90, and
they are to be put to work--to a bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house tor the duration of the
war we expect to keep the days." we
expect to wear cObbled shoes and
patched clothing, and if we ever hest
tate in our sacrifice / shall see the
faces of Eyes .O'Blue and Touslehead
as, with tears on their cheeks, they
smiled at the thought of the help they
might be to the Red Cross.
Are you helping US to carry the Red
Cross?

TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit It, tnen
still exists distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of great many
people in various parts Of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or pro-Ger-
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact is,
although we did not realize It until
recently, the average citizen Of this
country hes not had instilled In him
real responsibility In and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea In America and
the ultra-political nature Of our form
Of government has resulted In the al
most total disappearance Of the appre-
citation by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition IL
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. II involves COM
plete readjustment and revitalizing of
our methods Of civic instruction. This
work must start In the schools Of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in
struction in political economy, and
even the influence OF the discussion Of
these matters In high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority Of boys
who later make up the citizenry OF the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League, or
ganized at the start Of the war as a
preparedness proganda ard now devot-
ing its entire efforts to the awakening
of the people to q realization of the
meanings Of the war and the menace
of defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question Of true
citizenship which Is worthy of atten-
ton and support. 1t has enlisted the
cooperation Of state, county and city
superintendents Of schools In all parts
Of the country to make daily instruc-
ton on the war part Of actual school
tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to 1t on full pay by the
Boards of Trustees of number Of the
largest colleges and universities In the
country Of corps Of professors who
are to constitute a National Patriotic
Education Faculty" to carry on this
work In the broader field. These men
win create q sort of peripatetic uni
versity, journeying personally into all
parts of the country to spread this
thought Of the necessity Of awakening
the citizenship Of the country to re-
sponsibility in its government More
power to the National Security League
and may the nation quickly realize the
importance Of it's work !.

FIGHTING SISTERS
OF FIGHTING men
Twenty Thousand Nurses Now
Enrolled In American
Red Cross.

OF the eighty odd thousand register
ed trained nurses In the United States
about 10000 have enrolled as Red
Cross nurses, volunteering their serv.
ices at the front, in cantonments and
hospitals or in any other needed ca
pacities. This enrolment Is the nurs-
Ing reserve Of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States
Navy Nurse Corps, and from it will
also be Drawn contingents for service
under other al..ed flags than our own.
The enrolment goes on at the rate Of
1000 volunteers month. On basis
of an army of a million men over 80.
600 nurses will be required for active
duty in the present year.
Up to the last of February over
1000 nurses had been actually detailed
to duty or were ready for immediate
mobilization. So 1t is seen that there
are none too many, in view Of the re-
quirements of the service, since be-
tween time of enrolment and actual
assignment to duty the nurse must un.
dergo a period of special study and
training for war service. and the work
of organizing and modifying this
"army of mercy" Is no small thing.
A Nurse Is a Soldier.
Surgeon General Gorgas has called
upon the Red Cross to supply 5000
nurses for the Army Nurse Corps by
June 1, and if this quota is forthcom.
ing the total number detailed will
have reached 1900. So the mobiliza.
ton of another $4,000 to $4,000 by
jar. 1. 1919, will be big problem to
solve.
Now, nurse is a soldier. She Il
recognized officially by the govern
ment and included In those eligible
for soldiers and sailors war insur
ance. A nurse goes into actual danger
Of wounds and death by shell fire and
bomb explosion. Her work is arduous
exacting, calling for the finest quail
ties of mind and heart. She Is the
right hand of the surgeon.
So, because nursing is primarily 9
woman's job, the war nurse is proper
ly the peculiar responsibility Of the
women of America. While the trained
nurse Is urged to volunteer the risl
of her life at the front. the American
woman at home is commanded by ev
cry dictate of patriotism and humanity
to support her fighting sister,"
The nurse fights pain, disease and
death, making her sacrifice with amaz
ing cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

The whole aim and object of Home
Service is to protect the welfare of the
soldiers family while he is away and
to maintain as far as possible the
same standards of home life that pre-
vailed while he was at home. More
than this, when the standard of living
is low 1t is the duty and the opportu-
nifty of Home Service to raise the
standard.

Everybody knows that in the aver

due to the fact that the old fashioned

her efforts in food conservation to
preserves, jams and jellies.

London; Aug. ia Danish engi-
neer has taken out d patent for an
apparatus he has constructed which
he calls "The Automatic Soldier"
It consists of steel cylinder with
in larger cylinder, the whole being
sunk vertically into the ground BY
means of a simple mechanism set in
motion by wireless telegraphy, the
inner cylinder rises IS inches above
the ground,
At the same time an automatic rife
mounted on the inner cylinder hres
400 shots in any direction desired.
These automatic soldiers" can be-
controlled from a position tour or five
miles behind the line Of defense. Fhey
can be seen by the enemy only when
they rise from the ground and their
installation is a simple operation
Trials already made have proved
that a few hundreds of these mechan-
ical soldiers, can easily defenda posi-
ton against all infantry attacks, how
ever numerous the opposing force
may be. Panic or disorder affect them
not, and they blaze away without
fiinching. II
To overcome them they must be de-
stroyed one by one. which can be ac-
complished only BY direct hit from a
shell, and as they are controlled by
wireless there is no means Of demo-
bilizing them. d I'M -. ~.
Danish military experts who have
examined the invention declare it
would be feasible to line up the auto

posed to attack. human soldiers be-
