CAMP MEADE, Nd, June 1o.-The
work OF the Rec Cross in camp Is az
Interesting as that OF any other
agency that helps the soldiers. It is
at times the authorized agent for
Cupid. In domestic complications the
agents are called on to stand between
the better half and the other half and
plead for peace for the wars sake.
Having its agents in every com
munity, it is able to keep the soldier
in touch with conditions back home
Over 500 cases Of civilian relief have
been handled at suggestions from SOL
diers here. The man in camp who
does not get a letter from folks at
home need only report this to the So
ciety and some one pays a call on
those folks and finds out why the
soldier has been forgotten.
For two months soldier was mute
at the base hospital The field agent
carried a flower to the patient ana
said: Take this and think Of your
mother" Thank you" the man re-
piled, and the next day he said, Good
morning" For two months he had
not uttered q word.
Services Are NhrleG
A field director found that a certain
medicine was badly needed at the hos
pital, and he took thirty-cile trip to
get the medicine. The little Ford
automobile of the society helps in
many ways with the service which
the agents render.
In the camp zone there are cases
- -
man bought $500 worth Of furniture
for a house he hoped to turn into a
hotel when he learned that he would
have to move out. An agent Of the
society adjusted with the furniture
dealer what looked like a complication
that would have meant ruin to the
man who plunged too suddenly,
Men who have made false reports
and dread the consequences seek ad-
vice. Some say they are not mar
ried when they have been, but do not
know what has become OF the wife
and dread the idea OF giving up half
their pay to her even II she can be
found. Here is where the work in
camp connects up with the organized
work in the homo town and makes
possible a just settlement OF cases
that the army through its own agen-
eies could not go into deep enough.
There is one case in this camp that
attracted wide attention, that OF a
man who wished TO marry a girl
hundreds Of miles away and had not
time or money at his disposal for the
trip The Red Cross here working
with the Red Cross in her town car
ried out a marriage by proxy.
Men come into the office who are
under bond in connection with civil
suits and criminal charges and who
cannot go back TO their homes to

Charles J. Ferrin, the field director;
Frank B. Guest, associate for civilian
relief, and ". H. Brickel, associate for
military relief, and the other members
OF the stan are men Of middle age.
They have given up business and
home comforts to live in camp and
work from "ReveiIle" to Taps" Mr..
Brickel, for instance, was owner Of a
big ranch in Colorado, and took an
active part in a Red Cross money
campaign. He decided that the work
needed something more than money.
service, and he gave up everything
and went to Washington to enlist
He was anxious to go abroad, but con-
scented to do camp work.
The Red Cross in the camp dis
tributes the thousands of knitted
articles made by women Of the coun-
try. The secretaries impress upon the
men that these gifts carry with them
the love OF the women who are put
ting in so many hours each day at the
knitting because it is one way in
which they can do a bit The Red

soldier than just another part Of his
clothing.
A great part OF the work in camp
as well as at the front centers in the
hospitals.

Norman Hapgood, in Leslie S.
 If there is one man who has moro to do with the policy of the entente today than any other-even than Lloyd George-it is the prime minister of France. France more nearly is under a single dictator than any other coun- try in the war; French governmental policy is clearly defined; and if is difficult for England or the United States effectively to depart from it.
 It is not without good reason that Clemenceau is called the tiger. As he sits in his office, one is reminded cas- fly of the big cat tribe, so intense he is, so quiet, so 1.-the. As he crouches there, his 75 years look like 60. As he jumps from his seat and hurries across the room, his movements are those of a vigorous man of 50. He by no means suggests a man with a grandson in the war.
 One picturesque habit of his, as far as I know, has not been made public. Like many great workers, he makes an early start. Lloyd George has many of his most important meetings at breakfast. Lord Reading, before he came over here as ambassador, used to do days work in helping the gov- ernment administer itself before he started his chief justice functions. CleMenceau also puts in a good day. labor before regular business hours begin. He has an old housekeeper who knows how to make soup of which the prime minister is fond. Ev- cry night this soup is made hot, put in stone jug, and the jug placed between the sheets at the foot of ths bed. where it serves for a hot water bag until about 3 a. m, when the hungry tiger awakes, drinks the soup and goes to work

BARREN LITERARY YEARS

and among his shorter poems the haunt ing '1The Lotos Eaters" and the lovely Deep on the convent roof the snows are sparkling to the moon." Browning had written many of the poems that to- day cause young women to form socic- ties for cooperative interpretation. Carlyle had to his credit "Sartor Resar- tus,'' .grhe French Revolution" and "He- roes and Hero Worship Maeaulay was then in the height of his glory as an es- sayist and two years before 1850 the first two volumes of his History of England had appeared.
 If Macaulay was discouraged as to the permaneney of the literary work done by himself and his fellow craftsmen in the years immediately preceding 1850 what as of 1918? We have gone far in the con quest of men over matter. But it would seem that no people, except the French. are adding materially to their literary prestige. Is matter in reality triumphing over men? In the victory, of which Macaulay speaks, is man Frankenstein who has evolved the engine of his de- struction? And is he approaching a pe- riod of intellectual dacadence in which the written word will lose the inspl-a- tion it held for our unautomobiled, unbi- planed, unsubmarined unwirclessed fore- fathers, who at least could talk and write and sing to a Tyre now broken?

TWO MEN WHO KNOW

From the New York Times.
 In saying this I by no means share the opinion prevalent among us today that England laid all the mines for the outbreak of the war; on the contrary, I believe in Sir Edward Grey's love of peace and in his earnest wish to arrive at an agreement with us.-Herr Von Jagow.
 ~ OTTLIEB vON JAGow was the U 7 German foreign minister when
 the war broke out. He makes this statement in the course of his defense of the government against the charges of Prince Lichnowsky, then the German ambassador at London, who asserts that England did everything in her power to prevent the war and was thwarted by Germanys unchangeable resolve that war must be.
 The opinion that England caused the war is prevalent among us today" von Jagow says. But it is not shared by the two men in Germany who are in the best position to know-the man who was foreign minister and the man who was ambassador at London. If these two men are right, then the opinion prevalent among us" is wrong. Germany is wrong. How did Germany come to be wrong :?

Red Cross Needs
 Many Volunteers

1.-THE American Red Cross is in
 4 urgent need of volunteers for service abroad-men as chaplains, secretaries, accountants, stenogra- phers, clerks, social workers, motor truck drivers and mechanics, and women as stenographers bookkeep- CTS. clerks, social workers and can teen workers.
 No man will be enrolled who is within the draft age, unless he has been exempted from military service on account of physical defect. Boys below the, draft age will not be ac- cepted.
 The age limit for women is twenty six to fifty, except for exceptional availability, and no woman can be en- rolled who has "brother, father, hus- band or son in the armed forces of the United States"
 It is hoped that Alabama will fur nish many applicants. As the Red Cross is extremely popular and IS doing splendid work, any appeal It makes should meet with ready re- sponse. Application for service from the people of Louisiana, Mississippl or Alabama should be addressed to l"Gulf Division, Postoffice Building New Orleans"
 | Volunteers who are able to pay ,their own expenses will be expected to do so, but where they are unable the Red Cross will provide money for travel and board.

Some of them have not been in America long, perhaps, although the tide of immi- grafton was checked when the war started and Ellis Island fell into a state of "innocuous desuetude," but they have been here long enough to know that America is truly a land of freedom and democracy.

 If you want to find out just what a monumental ignoramus you are, try to tell your wife how to run the house.
 Man has always been d deceitful pup and woman has always been trusting creature who got the worst of it. When Adam used to stay out late at night Eve imagined that he was studying astron- omy She didn't know that Lilith was the only star Adam cared anything about
 When wife spends two hours dollng her hair and her complexion her husband hardly glances at her. But if some other woman has devoted that much time to dolling up friend husband can't keep his eyes off the other woman.
 Experience is something that teaches a man how dishonest the other fellow can be.
 A man is a two-legged animal who al- ways thinks he needs a wife until after he gets one. Even when a husband likes his wife he is too selfish to enjoy waiting on her. But when a wife likes her husband she loves to wait on him. Watch two boys playing with a wagon and you will notice that the biggest boy does the riding while the smaller boy is tha horse And men are only CrOWn-Ip boys.
 A young man never appreciates his friends because he has not yet learned how hard it is to make friends and how easy 1t is to make enemies. 1 When bunch of women are discuss ing something, dreadful that some other woman has done they all talk at once SC that a fool man can't understand what they are saving.

They did, if the foreign min ister and the ambassador at London konw what they are talking about and on this point, though they disagree on everything else, they agree.
 The foreign minister testifies to Sir Ed- ward Grey's "earnest wish to arrive at an agreement with us.' Why could he not arrive at such an agreement? Won Jagow was willing. But Won Jagow was powerless. No agreement could be ar rived at because of a circumstance con- corning which Grey and Lichnowsky knew nothing, and which Von Jagow learned too late. On July 5. 1914, IS days before the ultimatum to Serbia, there was conference at Potsdam at which the Kaiser and the military chiefs were pres- ent, and these men resolved on war All subsequent negotiations were mere ges- lures, so far as Germany was concerned, and nothing that England could havs said or done would have avs-ted ths carrying out of the Potsdam conspiracy

Three Mill Tax \ and Bond Issue

7Tl HE two school propositions to be
 < voted upon Monday are so sim pie as to need little explanation. One is the three-mill tax and the other is million-dollar bond issue, bearing a 5 per cent interest rate, for the erec- tion of two high school buildings.
 The city commission has decided to reduce the five-mill sinking fund tax to two-mill tax. With this eco homie change in the city's financial scheme the proposed three-mill school tax will mean, therefore, no increased tax burden on the people.
 The three-mill tax is absolutely necessary for Birmingham's public school expansion. In order to pay the interest on the million-dollar high school bonds and have funds for general school purposes necessary to accommodate Birmingham rapidly increasing school enrolment the tEree-mill revenue of about three hun ldred thousand dollars will be needed. According to the condition of the pro- posed bond issue fifty thousand dol lars year must be. retired after five years from date. Still after paying interest this would leave two hundred thousand dollars or more for general school purposes.
 In view of the situation it is almost |unthinkable that any intelligent voter should cast ballot against the three mill tax. There will be no difficulty in selling the bonds. Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be ex- pended on the Central High school building and two hundred and fifty thousand on the Eastern High school Although the cost of construction has advanced the amount to be set aside for the Central High will be ample to provide Birmingham with what it has long needed-a school edifice at
 once fire-proof, spacious and archi- Itecturally beautiful.
