"CUFFER Little Children to come unto me-" de-
~ clared the compassionate Christ.
But never since He dWelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been so many Little Children" in need OF
compassion as now.
There are the Little Children" who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all Can you 90 less? Shall
you keep from your boy or your neghbors boy that
which is symbolic Of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Rcd Cross Mother?
Then there are the uncounted Little Children
of our allies who have fallen wounded and ill in de-
fense of their home fires. Who but the Red Cross
Mother know the suffering the anguish, of the
she-torn thirst-stricken soldier who lies upon the
ghostly bed of No Mans Land? Will you deny him
the ife-giving cup?
Think also of the Little Children" of devastated
lands Some Little Children" in size and tender
years. Others, alas, mature in stature and age,
but none the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-their abiect need. Can we in our plenty with
hold from them the bare bread of existence? Can
we still our inner voice with the thought that others
will bear our burden, when in our heart we must
know that there are others?
The Red Cross helps no one who does not need
help a hundred times more than we need the money.
Therefore let us give gi until feel it. give until
it pinches Then and OIL then we shall know that
we have indeed offered tae Little Children" of the
war the tender compassion OF nation.

Doing the Best It Can.

(To the Editor of the Courier
Journal
We are told that there are per-
sons among us who are critical of
the public press for it's persist
ency in referring to the Germans
as Huns"
The public press is doing the
very best it can in this matter.
1t has searched and researched
the entire scope of both philology
and history for a more fitting and
therefore a more epprobrious
term than that of Hun" to be
applied descriptively to the Ger
mans, but has searched in vain.
If the aforesaid objectors to the
term Hun" will come forward
with an epithet that will really
convey a deeper sense of execra-
tion and opprobrium they will
have deservedly won the thanks
and gratitude of the civilized
public press; but until they can
do this their criticism must be
looked upon as merely carping,
for criticism, before it can make
any claim to justification or vir-
tue, must be constructive, don't
you know?
Of course, to speak of the
Kaiser and his cohorts as Huns"
is totally to disregard the sensi-
bilities of Attila and his h0rdes-
now sometime resident in hades
and, no doubt, cause them to
raise hell, so to speak, by their
wholly reasonable protestations
against this indirect SANDER
which the civilized public press,
under desperate extremities, has
been constrained to perpetrate,
and for which it should and does
feel just compunction and stands
ready and willing to make any
apologize explanation.
But it is an ill wind that blows
nobody good. So there is some
consolation in the thought thai
when the Kaiser and his follow
ers eventually confront Attil;
{ and his horde down there, ;
, hell will be made a little more
unpleasant place for the Teu
! tonic thugs than it otherwis,
