to escape the fate of the nations of
antiquity then mnst morals and reh-

This, members of this Men s Club,

Our nation is working out its destiny
it is adding new stars to the sky of

their fellow-men; as those who found
the Holy Grail.

see her tender eyes
AS they glow across the darkness with
a light that never dies.
Oh, hard day lies before me, there s
bitter dawn ahead;
There IS man next door who s moan
ing, and my bunkie mate lies dead.
But she IS coming through the shadows
and her glance is misty bright,
And I know her love is near me
through the horror of the night,
Yes, she gave me to our country
through she might have made me stay.
How she kissed me, smiling bravely,
as she brushed the tears away.
And her voice sings past the moaning;
past the battle raging near;
And she says, "Be true and fearless
just because I love you, dear.
There's a little girl-she's waiting in
the land across the foam;
AMI know that she is praying that
with honor ] II come home.
And 7 make myself a promise that
I'll justify her plan
The ideal she sets me of soldier and

Leaders of Kenosha Red
Cross Get New Call to the
Service of the Men in
the Army.
MUST ELIMINATE MISERY
End of War to Reveal Picture Of
Human misery Which Must Be
Alleviated by the Aid of the
American Red Cross.

The work of the Kenosha Branch of
the American Red Cross is not to be
il any way affected by the signing Of
the armistice and the end of hostilities
in the field as the officials Of the branch
have received a formal statement from
the War Council of the organization de-
claring that their work must go on
without interruption.
The message says:
''The moment is now come to pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any moment; it may be de-
ferred for some time. Until peace is
really here, there can be no relaxa-
tion in any Red Cross effort incident
to active hostilities. But even with
peace, let no one suppose that the
work of the Red Cross is finished.
Millions of American boys are still
under arms. Thousands of them are
sick or wounded. Owing to the
shortage in shipping, it may take a
year or more to bring our boys home
from France. But whatever the time
orr protecting arms must be about
them and their families over the
whole period which must elapse be-
fore the normal life of peace can be
resumed.
Our soldiers and sailors are enlist
ed until the Commander in Chief tells
them there is no more work for them
TO do in the war. Let every Red
Cross member and worker show our
returning soldiers and sailors that to
care for their health, welfare and
happiness, we are enlisted for not less
period than they are.
The cessation of war will reveal a
picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which cannot help
themselves. The American people
will expect the Red Cross to contin-
ne to act as their agent in repairing
broken spirits and broken bodies.
Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how we may best minister
to the vast stricken areas which have
been narrowed by war and in this
great act of mercy The heart and
spirit of the American people must
continue to be modified through the
American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers throughout
the land to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each one
to Carry on we cannot abate one in
slant in our efforts or in our spirits,
there viii be an abundance of work
to DO and specific advices will be Civ
en-, but even at the moment of peace
let no Red Cross work falter.
Our spirits must now call us to
show that it is not the roar of can
non or the blood of our own alone
that directs our activities, but that
great people viii continue to re-
spond greatly and freely to its obi
cation and opportunity to serve man
kind.
8 In view of this urgent appeal to
all Red Cross workers for continued
service, we confidently request that
Chapter workers in the Central Divi-
sion hold themselves in readiness to
undertake, if necessary, even larger
tasks than heretofore
