Old French Boy-and His

Marcel is a man. He is just fifteen
years old, but yet he is man. say
he is a man because in the last four
years time has burned into his child
heart marks that should wait for stern

has the responsibility of woman. He
has no father. The Germans saw to
that. Marcel has had to stand by and
see his small brothers and baby sister
ask In vain for food while he fought
off the pressing call from his growing
boys stomach. He has had to see
tears from his mothers eyes drop on
the plowed ground as she worked the
soil his father would have TILED had

less hands and his boys strength he
fought almost alone the unequal fight
against want with what little help his

FUNDS NEEDED FOR RED CROSS.
Second Nation Wide Campaign sched-
uled to Begin May 20.

The War Council of the American
Red Cross has announced that the
campaign to raise q second war re-
lief fund, of 100000, 900 would be
inaugurated May 20. It. was the
original intention to launch the drive
May 6, but fear that it might detract
even slightly from the forthcoming
Liberty Loan campaign prompted the
War Council to postpone the date two
weeks.
This action fixes the date of the
second Red Cross war fund campaign
eleven months after the first, which
was carried on the week of June 18,
1917. The War Council had been ap-
pointed by President Wilson five
weeks prior to the start of the first
campaign, and the first great task was
to provide the means Of carrying on
the relief work on scale commensu-
rate with the military operations.
More than s100,O00,Oo0 was contrib
uted in response to the first call for
financial aid, and contributions, plus
interest, brought the total receipts
from the drive to $105 ,O99,257. tOf
this amount about $17, 7,O06, ,121 was
refunded to chapters for local relief
work. Of the balance, $77,721,91s
has been appropriated, leaving bal
anee available for appropriations of
$10,371,21
J: France has been the beneficiary of
the American Red Cross appropria-
tions in the sum of more than thirty
