THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice OF
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work Of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
OF voc and sustains our faith in hu-
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, hat inspires US with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell Of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we are giving u all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life--because it
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-th the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-05-14

THE hope of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose hat must, through the force OF
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dam
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercyiwith
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

II the whole duty of man could be
told In n word. that word would be
loyalty, the duty of standing by. 10y
atty to the past, loyalty to the pres
ent. loyalty to the future, is something
that is obligatory on all Of us.
Our duty TO the country at this time
implies a loyalty to all Its traditions
Of freedom and hi~gh-hearted justice
which were fought for by our forefath-
ers; which have been preserved for
US; and which we have been accustom-
ed to enjoy all too thoughtlessly until
now. Now is the time to stand by
them with every word and deed.
Loyalty Our First Duty.
Our duty to the mar In the trenches,
and to every other American at home,
means loyalty TO the demands of the
present. In the first place our loyalty
to the man In the trenches implies
keeping him In good heart. Not only
must we send him constant words of
cheer, but the damnable treachery Of
doubt and pacifism and G~ermanism.
which keeps trying to spread itself
through the press and by spoken ru-
NOR, must be stopped and abolished
utterly swamped in patriotic enthusi-
asm. Whenever you hear a doubling
whisper of d~isloyalty, nail the whisper
err al a lair and a criminal, and know
you are doing your country a service.
Part Of our duty to the men in
France Is to make the profteer and
the striker understand that they are
disloyal crooks, and to block their sell
fish and disgusting game by any means
necessary. There is no choice between
the man who Is willing to profteer and
the man who Is willing TO strike for
more wages, In the present crisis. They
are equally d~espicable, the lowest of
the low. II shame will not restrain
them, they should be drafted and set
to work at a decent wage and profit.
Duty TO Posterity.
Our duty TO American posterity, or
our loyalty to the future, must con-
sist In passing on to the coming gen.
erations all our national ideals unim-
paired, in leaving to them the institu-
llOuS VI lTecuOIu WutCn We OURSELVES
have found invaluable. What they
may do with those institutions under
new conditions is for them to say. But
at least W must leave them as good
as we found them.
We are fighting nov to preserve our
national life. our civil rights, and our
homes and families from devastation
and ruin. When we have succeeded In
world by preserving the United States
a. q nation. with Its laws and institu-
tons and customs and standards un-
debased by the ignorance of those mill
lions OF refugees who will wish to Zee
to IA after the war.

REGIMENT SPEAKS FRENCH


Camp Greene Claims Most cosmopei-
ltan OUTFIT In National Army.
The personnel Of the First army
headquarters regiment at Camp
Greene In North Carolina is perhaps
the most diverse that could be found
In any regiment In the American army.
Its function when 1t goes abroad is
surmised by the fact that 1t is a head
quarters regiment and that nearly all
OF its members speak French.
The working Of the melting pot In
America is exemplined in a study of
the regiment. Every European nation
is represented in Its personnel, IN
GLIDING peoples with those countries
now at wal with America and men
who are at least descendants Of PEG
pies OF the central empires.
Among the French-speaking mem
bers of the regiment are many French
Canadians from the border between
the United States and Canada and
many "cagans" from the French
speaking parishes Of louisiana.
