The Long Arm Of Mercy
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

The Red Cross the Long Arm of Mercy
1t is the Kindness Of Mankind organized
In Man is Angel and a Devil a DIR Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde The Red Cross is the Good aroused energized to
thwar the Bad
1t is the best antidote we know to the bane Of war
There are other Charities, more or less helpful The
Red Cross is the mghtest Of all Charities the Love and Pity
OF all men made Supremely efficient.
If, Emerson said sensible men and conscientious
men all over the world OF religion. this is the
preston Of that religion
The Red Cross Humanity united in Service.
1t asks no mans opinion; only his need.
Black White Friend Foe, to the Red Cross there
is difference, only asks: "Who Sufferng?" And
to him it goes
The Red Cross 50 Efficient that Governments recog-
nze it; Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well his
fellow men, desires help it, so Clean in its administration
that the most suspicious can find no fault in it.
The Red Cross only seeks to alleviate the cruetieS
of War; it the expression of those human sentiments that
some day will put an end to War.
1t the impulse of Love- striving to overcome the i'm
pulse of Hate.
1t is Mercys cooperation struggling against Wars ri.
valries.
1t is the one Society in which every Man. Woman and
Child should be enroled for knows no sects no preu-
dces protesting opinions the human being does not live
that does not feel that the starving should be fed the sick
tended and the wounded healed.
Majestic and divine is this Long Arm of Mercy it finds
the fallen the battlefield it brings the and the
physician the victim in the hopita leads the weeping
orphan home it feeds the starving for the pest
smen whom all others abandon and pours the oil of Help
and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World.
Where a volcano has wrought desolation in Japan, or
Flood in China, Hurricane in Cuba, Famine in
India Plague in Italy, ravagng Armies in Poland,
Serva Belgium there flies the Red Cross, the Angel of
God whom the fury OF cannot Danish from the EARTH
and the Ends Of the Earth all the ways of the Seven
Seas wherever Human Misery there is extended to bless
and to heal, its Long Arm Of Mercy.

GEORGE RoTHWELL BROWN
The American boys in the front
line trenches take to the life under
ground as rat takes to a sewer.
They would rather live and fight in
the open, but if forced to dig in they
can do it and keep on smiling, and the
mud, and dirt, and water, and cold,
have no terrors for them that they
cannot somehow manage to overcome.
At the height Of the Somme often
sive, when the allies needed every
man they could muster, some of our
troops who were holding the front
line in a sector we had taken over,
stayed out there under shellfre and
gas, in wretched trenches that were
like creeks from the heavy rains that
had fallen steadily for weeks, for
twelve days without relief.
Military Situation Serious.
Ordinarily the men in the 'front.'
lines are relieved after AZ hours, and
sent to the rear, but the military sit
uation was so serious, from the chan
mel coast to the Swiss border, that
these men were called upon for unus-
ual sacrifices, and they responded and
withstood the frightful hardships to
which they were subjected without
murmur; and the fighting is some
times the least of what they have to
undergo.
A Harvard boy with his shirt in his
lap was hunting Coolies" when l
splashed through the communicating
trench one day in May, and found
myself for the first time in ''front

was terribly interested, and asked
him what he was doing.
"Ketching cooties," he replied in
pure Harvard, but with slight Fen
way Park accent, as he pulled his
shirt back over his head.
Had Never Seen One.
Gee! I'm sorry | missed that" |
said with genuine regret in my voice.
I've never seen any coolies"
"Oh, hell" he answered genially,,
"a fellow can always find one more"
and with this he pulled his shirt off
again, and began hunting around, and
presently he cried joyfully, I've got
him.
| exemined the cootie and found
him to be small, fluffy bit of pink
ish white wool, about the size of the
head of pin. He makes up in fe-
rocity what he lacks in size-he is a
bug with bite. The college boy put
his shirt on once more, stood up in
the mud and slush that filed the bot
tom of the trench, and invited me
down into his dugout, where found
half a dozen other college boys in
their muddy hunks. And all of them
had coolies too

work"
The fourth case: Three patrol
planes sighted a large submarine as
IL was submerging and dropped two
bombs close to the coming tower
and disappear in a mass Of oil and
wreckage."
The flfth case: "a seaplane sight
ed two submarines close to the sur
face and dropped two bombs. One
bomb was ineffective but the other
hit the deck fairly amidships. The
submarine was hidden by the smoke
OF the explosion and when the smoke
cleared the U-boat was sinking with
both ends in the air."
The sixth case: "A seaplane saw
the track Of a torpedo fired at a mer-

face. 1t dropped two bombs which
both exploded close to the submarine,
resulting in a large quantity Of oil,
bubbles and wreckage."
The seventh case: Two seaplanes
sighted a U-boat on the surface and
dropped a bomb each. The first bomb
caused a heavy list to the U-boat
which began to sink by the stern.
The second bomb exploded in the
center Of the swirl, demolishing the
U-boat"
The eighth case: "a seaplane
dropped a bomb on a submarine just
emerging and the U-boat disappeared
with n heavy list TO port. The pilot
dropped a second bomb into the swirl
and few minutes later a patch of
oil $50 feet long and II feet wide
appeared on the surface"
The ninth case: "A naval airship
at midday sighted a suspicious patch
of oil and circled it in an effort to
ascertain the cause. Suddenly a
periscope broke the surface in the
midst of the oil. The airship dropped
bomb close to the periscope and a
series of bubbles began appearing,
indicating that the damaged sub
marine was moving slowly away
under the water. Several more bombs
were dropped in the path indicated
until sufficient evidence was obtained
of the enemy's destruction"
The tenth case: AN airship drop
ped two bombs over q submarine
which was engaged in attacking mer-
chantmen. Great patches of oil and
bubbles indicated severe damage and
trawlers made this complete by depth
