HAYDEN, has become a distinct fea-
ture of modern battle. 1t is the one
organization that brings succor an
quick relief to the MANNED and the
wounded in their time of trial. 1t is
the organization that is blessed with
the soldiers dying breath and it is the
organization which produces such
heroes as Nurse Cavell who gave her
life to the world as a lesson of the Red
Cross tenet of service till death
And Nurse Cavell," continued
Father Hayden, was shot, not be-
cause she was a Red Cross nurse but
because she was captured while min

opponents of Hunnism. contrary to all

With the Kansas infantry regiments
already overseas, the artillery reei-
ment on the way, the engineers just
landed. the ammunition train already
in action and casualty lists coming in,
and very recently a report that the

practically every family in the state
is beginning to feel the iron hand of
a savage war against a barbaric and
pagan enemy who recognizes no rule
