WOMEN's WORK

In all the volunteer service Of the Red Cross none is more notable tor devotion, none so notable for extent as that which the loyal women Of America are giving in their chapter work. It is estimated that there are 2,o00, 00e of these women. many giving most of their time to this work, all giving unstintingly. It is they who do the handiwork of the Red Cruss it's surgical dressings, hospital gar ments, knitted garments. To meet the demand for these articles, appropT ia- tions of $11.o00.0o0 for raw materials have been necessary so far. During the month of April, 1918, the women of the country produced approximately 25,0G0, 000 surgical dressings; 100000 hospital garments: 500000 knitted gar ments and 10000 pieces of clothing for refugees. and many other important and useful articles. The chapters are performing other great tasks. They are helping dependent families of sol diers and sailors. It is estimated that 100000 such families are receiving help from the Red Cross at the present day.

It reaches into every American village. and overrcaches all Hatlonal pcundarleS- mere are chap ters in the insular territories and in practically every allied and neutral country in the world; in Hawaii. the Philippines and Porto Rico, in Cuba and Guatemala, in London and Paris and the eastern countries.
 year ago there were 562 chapters in the United States and 4s6,194 mem bers. Today there are 3551 chapters, 1t,000 branches; 5o.0D0 auxiliaries. 22,- 100000 adult members. and a Junior. membership comprising a large pro- portion of the school children of the land.

WHAT THE RED CROSS MEANS

The red in the cross stands for sac rifice, for giving life, as the warm crimson blood gives life to the body. The cross has the same length on all four sides of it's arms to signify that it gives equally to all, high or low, east or west. It stands alone all ways, no words or markings on 1t, to show that the Red Cross workers have only one thought-to serve. They ask no questions. they care not wheth- CT the wounded be American or of am other people--their duty is to give and to give quickly.
 The Red Cross stands on a white ground, because real sacrifice can come only from pure hearts. Service must come. not from hate but from love- from the noblests thoughts and wishes of the heart or it will fail That is why children love this flag. It is drawing them by millions in inc schools of the land in wonderful army of rescue under the president. to. make. to save, to give for others. And some day the children of all lands under the Red Cross. will teach the grown people the ways of understand ing and of friendship; the beautiful meaning of the Red Cross which Is echoed in their lives

Incident which left very deep im-
preston upon me.
I was informed by one Of the Ger
man aviators that plans had been
made to drop gas bombs on London
which contained deadly gas which
would penetrate the cellars Of houses
In which civilians were In the habit
OF hiding during air raids.
Shortly before this hideous idea was
to be put into effect the papers an.
nounced that bombs Of this character
had been dropped by the allies on
Baden-Baden, but that, fortunately.
they had fallen In clump of woods
In the center Of the town and had fail
ed to explode. which had given the
Germans an opportunity to take them
apart and ascertain their nature.
The purpose of this announcement,
or course. was to forestnll the storm of
condemnation which the Germans
knew would follow their use of the
bombs on LOndon-a ruse which they
had invariably employed whenever
they contemplated some fresh violation
of the rules of international law and
the dictates of humanity.
1t happened that one Of my patients
who resided In Baden-Baden called to
see me the day after the bombs had
been dropped on her town. and she
told me all about 1t.
THE airplanes which dropped The
bombs had been flying over the city all
the morning." she declared. 1--WE
thought they were our own machines
out for practice and paid no particular
attention to them. Then they dropped
the bombs and they landed In the
woods. and we knew we had been at

them to do"
What foolish thing for allied air
planes to do-to spend a whole morn
Ing studying the layout OF the town
ana then to drop those deadly bombs
on clump OF woods where they could
not possibly hurt anyone, and how
careless of the Germans not to molest
them while they were engaged in their
devilish work
But the point wanted to bring out
was this: these gas bombs were never
used or london!
"Just as everything was in readiness
Tor the raid" the officer told me re-
gretfully, I'VE received orders direct
from the kaiser to held Off saw his
signature to the order. or course,
there was nothing Tor us to do but
comply. but II we had had the kaiser
there. believe we would have strung
him up by the neck We still have
those bombs. however, and you may
be sure they will yet be used!"
For some unknown reason the kaiser
stopped the use of those lethal gas
bombs for the time being. Why didn't
he move to save the women and chill
dren OF the Lusitania?
