to the middle ages. The castle, on
the right bank of the Forth. IL built on
the highest tip of promontory. close
to the edge Of the crag. It's position
Is almost impregnable.
On the north and south a rolling
plain stretches away to the foot of the
Ochil hills, below, the Forth winds sill
yer across the plain. On the east and
west the water projects the fortress.
The key to the highlands, the bulwark
Of the north, Stirling was for centu-
rfes Scotland's main defense against
the invading English.
Much history has been made on the
plain at the castles foot. The Ger
man prisoners from the ramparts can
view the scene of seven important bat
ties. On the northwest on the top Of
a high hill stands statue to William
Wallace. At the foot of the hill was
fought the battle of Stirling. Just In.
side the curve of the Forth Is the field
of Cambusllenneth where In S43 the
Scots defeated the Picts. Falkirk,
where Wallace was defeated, lies to
the south. Years later on this same
field Prince Charlie won one of his
most important battles. Bannockburn,
the holy ground Of Scotland, lies to
the south. From the castle you can
see the center of the field, the Bore
stone, marked by tall white fiagpole.
Mary of Scots was crowned in the
castle hall. Her son, afterwards James
the Sixth, passed his baby days here.
The iron bars at the windows of some
of the rooms were placed there to pro-
tect the tiny prince from kidnapers.
Years afterwards he was crowned as
king In the same walls. John Knox
preached the coronation sermon.

'Inasmuch Gs the war fund OF 1915

American people to the American

relief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
lions fer the welfare OF the men in

for those dependent upon them for the
yet more urgent necessities OF our al
lies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt Of war;
And, 'inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by law
and international convention as the
public instrumentality for war relief;
And, inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality OF our
people, and made evident the neces-
sity of concentrating the work of re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and UNIVERSAL
ly to the needs of humanity under
stress of war;
And, ina3mrch as the duration of
the wal and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with the
governments of our allies, and with
foreign relief organizations, have re-
suited in the discovery of new oppor-
tunities of helpfIlness under condi-
lions which translate opportunity into
duty;
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and it's COM
mi3sioners in Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
peoples trust;
Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President OF the American
Red Cross, l, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week,
during which the people of the United

give generously to the continuation of
the important work OF relieving dis

warriors.

is the sight Of the waving green and
the bloom of the flowers, but we heed
them not. The song of the birds and
the music of the wind in the trees
were made for our ears, but we hear
them not. Our minds are full of the
cordid thoughts of life and business,
so crowded with daily cares that we
miss the glOries of nature and the
blessed inspiration which they bring.
We need the voice of the child to
awaken us to an interest in the beau

need to feel as did the little lad that
the beautiful sunset was made Tor our
enjoyment and none may deny the
