gical supplies, ambulances and

surgical supplies, ambulances and
hospitals should be immune from hos
tile attack or injury. This agreement
should apply to the armed forces of
any and all nations which should rat
ify it.
The Red Cross in all the nations
makes sacred the medical attendants,
supplies and equipment in time of war.
The various countries have different
plans of organizations and govern
ment, but all are volunteer and for
manifest reasons must not be con-
nected with the military service. A
man cannot be a Red Cross non-com-
blatant one day and a soldier the next.
No enemy would permit that. The
object is to make the care of the
wounded a nuetral proposition and
protect those who wear the emblem
of their work.
The work of the American Red
Cross is summarized as follows:
To furnish volunteer aid for sick
and wounded in time of war.
To act as means of communication,
under military regulation, between the
soldiers and sailors and their folks at
home.
To give relief and aid in time of
peace, to mitigate and relieve suffer
ing caused by pestilence, fire, famine,
flood and other great calamities.
All moneys and contributions to the
Red Cross are voluntary. The presi-
dent of the United States is president
of the Red Cross and a board of man.

When the United States declared
war on Germany there were 100000
members of the American Red Cross
Now there are about ten times that
many. This week the membership is
to go wei Is, 1000, 900, or the workers

The Red Cross membership costs 81.
The call this week does not have
money as it's object. 1t is to give ev-
cry American a chance to show his
support of the brave boys who are Of
fering their lives. It is to give you a
chance to prove that you have a

ABOUT THE RED CROSS

The announcement that the Christ
mas week drive for the Red Cross
has resulted in the enrolment of
more than 5000, 900 American citi-
zens as members Of that patriotic and
beneficent organization, is cheering
news. 1t dispels any apprehension
that the American people are indif-
ferent to the welfare of men who are
risking their lives for their country.
1t neal that at least 100000
American men and women, and boys
and girls, propose to give service in
some capacity to help win the a
The mission of the Red Cross is to
save, restore and to heal. The United
States and it's people had nothing to
do with starting the Red Cross. In
fact, our country did not recognize or
take part in it until after practically
every other country had accepted and
Endorsed it. But we had had the spirit
of the Red Cross and during the re-
bellion the Christian commission had
done much work. But thousands and
tens Of thousands of American SOL
diers suffered and died from 1861 to
1865 who would have been saved if the
Red Cross or some such effective or
g%anization had been at work.
The Red Cross was started in Swift
zerland during the Civil War by men
who had become interested in the re-
lief of wounded men on battle fields
of Europe. Up to that time each army
took ARE of it's own wounded and
there was no respect paid the relief
work except when it vas under a flag
of truce-not always then. The main
objects of the military organization
was to fight and the attempts at care
for wounded were. limited to insuffi-
cient and inadequate surgery, or were
left to the loving but indispensable
and often ignorant service of COM
rades.
After considerable discussion and
preliminary meeting the Red Cross
was organized at Geneva, Switzerland,
in September, 1864. 1t adopted the
name and emblem and it's constitu-
ton provided that doctors, nurses and
helpers who wore the emblem should
be held inviolate and that medical and

CONGRESS SHOULD ENACT
UNIVERSAL TRAINING

We should hold r%esolutely to our
stand for a world league to prevent

reckless for America to regard that
as the only string to it's defense bow,
says the Spokesman-Review
The worlds future is darkly yelled.

kind that vars often breed other wars,
and protracted world unsettlement
may be the aftermath of this great
war.
Russia, to consider only one posi-
bility, may break up into three or four
or a dozen independent states, and
some ambitious warrior in one of them
may try to recement the fragments.
The warning Balkan states would be
drawn into the conflict of that charac-
ter, and the fires thus kindled could
easily expand into another mighty Eu-
ropean conflagration that would
spread across Asia and involve China
and Japan. Into that frightful mael-
strom of fire the United States might
be drawn, a probability no thoughtful
person will ignore in the light of the
complications and entanglements Of
the present hour.
Against these grave uncertainties it
is the solemn duty of American states
manship to provide and maintain an
adequate defense, and that defense,
should be defensive, not aggressive;
democratic, not militaristic. 1t should
not take the form of a great stand
ing army.
1t should be built on the democratic
principle of universal compulsory mil
itary training of the young men of
the land.
The principle was urged by Wash
ington and advocated by Adams, JEFF
f%erson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and
Lincoln. 1t is now counseled by prac-
tically every military authority OF
note.
And wherever the principle has
been discussed and submitted to the
American people on informal but
fairly conducted test votes, they have
declared their cordial approval.
If congress, drawing wisdom from
the counsel of the founders of the re.
public and the great lessons of oul
own day, should enact a universal
training law at this session, it woulc
have the overwhelming approval Of
the nation.

1--WE ARE THE SALT OF THE
EARTH" SAYS THE KAISER

Iu an address at a Red Cross meet
ing in Pittsburg, Friday, Former
President Taft said that, "The Ger
man people have become obsessed
with megalomania, with the idea that
they are supreme and are Gods chos-
en- people"
Mr.. Taft here states the basic fact
that brought this dreadful war upo l
a startled and defending world. From
the time Of Fichte, a German philoso-
phere, whose addresses to the Ger
man People," written more than 100
years ago, drove that belief into the
minds of the educated classes, the
thought has grown in German minds
that they are a superior and uncon-
taminated people, charged with a di.
vine mission to ram their kultur down
the threats Of other nations.
"We are the salt of the EARTH" de-
clared the kaiser in a public address
at Bremen, and that doctrine has been
Systematically taught in the schools,
the churches, the universities and the
newspapers. The propaganda starts
in the primary schools. "Germany's
mission in history" asserts "The
School and the Fatherland," a manual
for school children, "is to rejuvenate
the exhausted members of Europe
by a diffusion of German blood"
Two hundred years ago the English
nation helped to foster that dangerous
egotism when it imported a new breed
of German monarchs from Hanover
and was inflicted for it's experiment
with the Georgian kings. Readers
who desire further light on that mon
archical venture and it's consequences
will find plenty of revelation in
Thackeray's lectures on "The Four
Georges"
This Germanic assumption of racial
superiority is only a fantastic Pigment
of the imagination, but nations as
we'll as individuals often travel fan

on the persistent assertion of the as
sumption. In the case of the Germans
it was fostered until they came to
believe devoutly in the truth of it,
and from that obsession it was but a
step to willing acceptance of the
kaiser's audacious dream of world con-
quest. And as Mr.. Taft adds, "a peo-
pie thus obsessed are just as danger
o,,s in the family of nations as a mad
dog in the domestic family"

it. Milk is an example. That is why
it is wise to take milk on cereal.
We shall have to admit that wheat
is the best bread cereal, but other
flour can very readily be used with
it to make bread. That is what they
are doing in Europe. They mix other
cereals with the wheat flour so that
probably only three quarters of it is
wheat. Even so, they have not
enough. Europe must receive from
us nearly 400, OOO, 900 bushels of wheat
Millions of men have been taken
from wheat raising and have gone
into the trenches. Fields have been
laid waste by the enemy. Food sup
ply ships have been sunk by submar-
ines. Crops in other countries have
been poor.
Four hundred million bushels of
wheat is a very large amount, but we
must supply it. In one way or another
we must get it together here and send
it across the Atlantic to u allies.
We cannot do this unless we are will
ing to use some other food for a part
of the wheat we would ordinarily con-
sumo. We cannot eat it all and send
it too.
The U. S. food administration would
like to have all the boys and girls
in the country help their mothers and
fathers to save wheat. We can help
send those 40O, 900 900 bushels if we
will only use a little less wheat flour.
Suppose each one of US each week,
instead of using S pounds of wheat
flour use 4 pounds and one pound of
some other kind of flour. We would
then be able to send over $50, 900 900
bushels and that is more than half the
big sum we want. We must raise
more wheat, to be sure, but the quick
est way for US to help now is by
using less wheat, and v wasting a
crump of what we do use.

PAY OF PRIVATES

In general if you want a man to do a
dangerous job;
Say, swim the Channel, climb St.
Paul's, or break into and rob
The Bank of England, why, you find
his wages must be higher
Than if you merely wanted him to
light the kitchen fire.
But in the British army it's just the
other way,
And the maximum of danger means
the minimum of pay.
You put some men inside a trench
and call them infantrie,
And make them face ten kinds of hell
and face it c%heerfully;
And live in holes like rats, with Other
rats, and lice, and toads,
And in their leisure time assist the
R. Els with their loads.
Then, when they've done it all, you
give 'em each a bob a day!
For the maximum of danger mean:
the minimum of pay.
We won't run down the A. S. c. no.
yet the r. T. o.
They ration and direct US on the wa!
we've got to go.
They're very useful people, and it
pretty plain to see
We couldn't do without 'em, nor ye
the A. P. C.
But comparing risks and wages
think they all will say
That the maximum of danger mean
the minimum of pay.
There are men who make munitions
and seventy bob a week;
They never see a lousy trench, no
hear a big shell shrek;
And others sing about the war at hig
class music halls
Getting heaps and heaps of none!
and encores from the stalls.
They "keep the home fires burning
and bright by night and day.
While the maximum of danger mean
the minimum of pay.

SEND WHEAT ACROSS THE SEA

Everybody wakes up. nuHgry The

it? And at our breakfast we eat
wheat, wheat in our bread, and very
often wheat in our cereal.
Wheat is a "building" food. 1t con-
tains what is called protein, that
builds our tissues and helps our
growth. But it is better not to de-
pend on wheat protein entirely for
building food. Some other food which
is rich in protein should be eaten with
