YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Without a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the vIgIlantes.
OF the vIgIlantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service Of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not
only in the range and variety of its effort. but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms Of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army wihout gun that wages wal
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag Of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go|
forth to with spirit Of hopefuness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them; that it's work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort Of one of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by|
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross: we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds,-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we of great, free
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross soidly supporting our soldiers

HOLLAND TO DRAIN
THE ZUIDER ZEE
Project Will Add Over $4,000 Acres
OF Land to the Country-To In
demnify Fishermen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Under-
taking project which will cost about
SS9244, 200 and win add 523.440 acres
Of tlilable soil to the area of Holland.
ana which will require 30 years for
completion, the Dutch government has
begun preliminary work of draining tbe
Iuider Zee. A commission has hean
named to take the necessary stems FIR
work, under authorization of an act
passed by both houses of the Dutch
legislature, which received the ROYAL
signature June II, 1918, according 10
"a report from Commercial Attachc
Paul l.. Edwards. at The Hague.
The work of turning the bottom Of
the Zuidqg Zee into fields and gardens
Is divided into two distinct phases !:
First, the building Of a great Is-mile
dixie from the Island of Wieringen to n
point near the town of Priam on the
coast Of tho province of Friesland
and, second. the construction of four
dikes within the sea and the draining
and retaining of the land in back Of
these barriers.
The average depth of water which
the great dixie will encounter is about
l2.3 feet below mean average sea lev
ell. The height of the dixie itself above
sea level will run from $50 feet to Il s
feet
The body of the main dixie win con.
SYST OF sand on body of brush and
stone, with a surface covering of elay.
and the. outside lateral surface will
be faced with 4 basalt riprap. A dou-
ble-track railroad will run along the
dixie on the inside. This clay for the
surface will be dredged from the bot
tom of the Zuider Zee and also will
be transported from the island of Wicr.
lngen as waste material of Il canal that
will be under construction there. The
total volume of the dixie is estimated
to be about 39,23S,O00 cubic wards.
The estimated cost of tho dixie proper
is about $ll ,256,000.
Although the completion of the en-
tire project will require So years, o.
600 acres comprising the first section
of reclaimed land viii be available for
cultivation within fifteen years Ex-
perts assure the Hollanders that the
soil will be fertile, as, after the great
dixie has cut off the sea, the Zuider Zee
gradually win turn fresh owing to the
continual cmptying into it of fresh
water streams
Several important fishing villages.
such as Vollendam and Marker will
be no longer touched by water, so the
government has promised that special
laws shall be passed providing for adj
equate indemni1ication of the fishermen
and providing funds for the removal
and re-establishment of their indus, ~
on the North Sea
The government expects to receive
about $l3 per acre per year as rental
for the reclaimed soil.
