New York.-A certain white-tiled

acrobats, was filled to overflowing
early the other morning with the mot
ley jinkle-jumble of night birds, SEMI
respectables and the curious. The
place is all that is left of the pre-war
night life of Gotham. A little white

with just few bouquets, soiled by an
evening Of handling, which she shyly
tried to sell. On her black blouse was
a service pin with three stars. An
officer of the National army alone at

He did not hesitate. "Come," he
said. taking her gently by the arm.
Selling flowers is no occupation for
the mother of soldiers. Let me have
them" She gave them over with a
look of wonderment. He went among
the crowds and collected $40 for her
for the flowers. then he put her in a
taXicab, paying the fare himself, and
she rolled away, leaving the officer at
the curb with his head barred.

Branches are to be formed in every

Twice a day 100000 optimists
shall at designated hour concentrate
Intellectually, grit their teeth, stamp
their feet and simultaneously wish
dire things for the Potsdam crowd.
The enemy shall be mentally annlhi-

1t Is really Tactic acid fermentation

unless kept very cold. In making this

should be filtered or strained and

 We here at home who associate the great Red Cross movement with band ages and white gowned nurses must lose this old illusion in the light of a thousand other works for humanity.
 In this case we see the Red Cross first as diplomats convincing the civil authorities of Paris as to their ability to remedy the situation, then as architects remodeling buildings, chang. ing building plans, hiring labor gath. cred by themselves from the ex-sol. diery and the older man, all the while working under every imaginable hand. icap, while Father Time cried; "Get it done get it done."

It is not strange that our French brothers believe in your own Red Cross just little more than you do. But should this be?
