JOHN MADISON'S FAMILY

space of a few hours Home Service
had driven poverty from the absent
soldiers home.
The whole aim and object of Home
Service is TO protect the welfare of the
soldiers family while he is away and
to maintain as far as possible the
same standards of home life that, pre-
vailed while he was at home. More
than this. when the Standard of living
Is low II is the duty and the opportu-
nifty of Home Service to raise the
standard.
Think of what II means to John
Madison and his legions of comrades
In khaki and in blue to realize that in
their absence their loved ones will he
safeguarded as carefully and as con-
stantly as they themselves would have
done Think what it means TO the
morale of these brave lads to know
that whatever may happen in the per-
lis of warfare the future of their fami-
lies will not be iaonardlzed.

FIGHTING SISTERS
OF FIGHTING MEN
Twenty Thousand Nurses Now
Enrolled in American
Red Cross.

OF the eighty odd thousand register
ed trained nurses In the United States
about 10000 have enrolled as Red
Cross nurses, volunteering their serv-
ices at the front, in environments and
hospitals or in any other needed ca
pacities. This enrollnent is the nurs-
ing reserve of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States
Navy Nurse Corps, and from it will
also be drawn contingents for service
under other allied flags than our own.
The enrolment goes on at the rate of
1000 volunteers month. On basis
of an army of million men over 3d.
600 nurses will be required for active
duty in the present year
Up to the last of February over
1000 nurses had been actually detailed
to duty or were ready for immediate
mobilization. So 1t Is seen that there
are none too many, In view of the re-
quirements Of the service. since be-
tween time Of enrolment and actual
assignment to duty the nurse must un-
dergo a period of special study and
training for war service. and the work
of organizing and mobilizing this
"army of mercy" is no small thing.
A Nurse is a Soldier.
Surgeon General Gorgas has called
upon the Red Cross to supply 5000
nurses for the Army Nurse Corps by
June !. and If this quota Is forthcom-
Ing the total number detailed will
have reached 1900 So the mobiliza-
ton of another $4,000 to $4,000 by
Jan /. 1919. will be big problem to
solve.
Now, a nurse is a soldier. She Is
recognized officially by the govern
ment and included In those eligible
for soldiers and sailors war insur
anee. A nurse goes into actual danger
of wounds and death by shell fire and
| bomb explosion. Her work is arduous
exacting. calling for the finest quail
ties of mind and heart She Is the
right hand of the surgeon.
So. because nursing is primarily a
womans job. the war nurse is proper
~ the peculiar responsibility of the
/ women Of America While the trained
nurse is urged to volunteer the risk
I of her life at the front. the American
woman at home is commanded by ev-
cry dictate of patriotism and humanity
/ to support her fighting sister,"
The nurse fights pain. disease and
! death, making her sacrifice with amaz-
/ Ing cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes OBue and Tousehead Learn About the Red Cross
BY JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

And then-we told them of the Red
Cross.
We had a number of Red Crosses in
our windows, but they had not known.
We told them of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys in khaki.
We told them of the great need of
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In a voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings. and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning / went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63.29. and
they are to be put to work-to bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house for the duration Of the
war we expect to keep the days" we
expect to wear cobbled shoes and
patched clothing, and If we ever hesi-
tate In our sacrifice shall see the
faces of Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead
as, with tears on their cheeks, they
smiled at the thought of the help they
might be to the Red Cross
Are you helping us to carry the Red
Cross?
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-05-10

We have talked 1t over at our house.
Talked 1t over as we have never talked
1t over before. We did not want Eyes
O'Blue to know about 1t, nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world Is a good and beautiful place.
but last night, gathered beneath the
light In the humble little parlor at our
house, we talked Ii over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, 1t is not
all good; that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who In the furtherance of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them of
hands hacked from baby wrists. of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, If need be. die TO keep this hor-
ror from our land. We told them of
burns and wounds and suffering.

HUN PROPAGANDA
APPEARS \, " MEXICO
TWO AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
MEN ORDERED TO LEAVE BY
PRESIDENT cARRANZA.
BEFORE MILITARY COURT
One of the Americans Represented the
Committee On Public Information
and Was Explaining To Mexico
Our Attitude in the War.

W. hington.-Unofficia advfces re-
ceived here tell of an order for the
expulsion from Mexico by the Carran-
ga government of Robert H. Murray,
the representative of the committee on
public information in Mexico City,
who In that capacity has been in
charge of the work conducted by the
American government to offset Ger
man propaganda
AT the same time, the unofficial adj
vices say, one of the correspondents
of the Associated Press in Mexico
Ciey, w. E. Weigand, also was order
ed to leave.
said, was ordered under the thirty
third section of the Mexican constitu-
ton, which provides for the summary
deportation of 'pernicious foreigners"
without trial or hearing. Some of the
experiences of Americans expelled
from Mexico under that section have
been described as little short of har-
rowing.
Murray was the correspondent Of
the New York World and one of the
best known American newspaper men
in Mexico. When 1t was determined
to take steps to properly inform Mexi-
cans of the attitude of the United
States in the war, and thus attack
the German propaganda in Mexico,
which for months has been described
as rampant, Murray was selected by
the committee on public information
to carry on It's work. An order for his
expulsion is taken to substantiate re-
cent reports that the German propa-
ganda had again gained the upper
hand in Mexican Official circles.
The State Department was without
official advices from Ambassador
Fletcher on the subject, but had re-
ceived the report officially. Other
sources of information here in touch
with Mexican affairs heard the same
report.
The last definite information of
Murray and Weigand was received
here more than two weeks ago, when
news came that both had, at the order
of President Carranza, been hailed be-
fore military court and that their
deportation was expected.
