 proved a greater boon.
 As whole-heartedly and literally as the people contributed then the out pouring of contributions will, it is be- lieved, be even more generous and more widely distributed in the forth coming campaign, for the people ap- preciate now as never before the splendid work which the Red Cross is doing and they understand fully the vital needs of the organization.
 Instead of one hundred million dollars, the fund will probably total one hundred and fifty million dol lars. Every dollar can be used to ad- vantage and every dollar will help to strengthen the morale of soldiers and civilians alike.
 Birmingham's quota is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Let's raise three hundred thousand dollars. It can be done if Chairman Morris W. Bush's slogan, "Give Day." be the rule. Certain it is that no war cam paign yet organized here has been quite so highly perfected as this.

Intensifying Activity
 In Red Cross Cause

Z ERMANY'S offensive of terror NJ by airplane bombing of towns in France and Italy behind the lines and killing or maiming women and children and old men for the avowed purpose of breaking down the morale of the civilian population and driving the people to importune their re- spective governments for peace, is as fiendish as any plan of Teuton fright fitness yet devised.
 No American can read Henry P. Davison's account of what has been happening in these nightly raids with out quickened sense of horror and a new resolve to assist the United States government in every way possible in the conduct of the war.
 Mir. Davison, national chairman of the Red Cross, describes conditions as he found them in a twelve thousand mile survey of the battle fronts, and this first-hand information is given to the public without drawing in any de- gree upon the imagination. As his plain, unvarnished story makes the blood curdle, it can but have the effect Of intensifying sympathy for the Red Gross in the campaign now being 1aunched.

Fight to Finish.

"One of the most gratifying things to me in reference to the war, is the manner in which the public generally are lining up solidly behind the gov ernment in it's stand to fight the Ger mans to finish" said W. E. Corn ing.
 T have visited quite a number of points in Alabama and Georgia recently, and I find the sentiment crys- tallizing on the fact that regardless of former opinions we are in the war and that we must and shall win. Not only that, but the people are begin ming to realize that sacrifices must be made. and that the boys at the front must be supplied even if we at home are put on short commons"

WOUNDED AMERIt AN SOLDIER
 From Caring for American Wounded in
 France" by c. L. Gibson, M. D., Major
 M R. C., in Scribners.
 When a soldier is wounded in the trenches, emergency treatment is usual ly available not very far away in dug out just back of the trench; that is, suitable dressing. pandage, or splint will be applied by the surgeon, usually one of the younger men, and he will then leave the first-line trenches by communication trench, being carried on a stretcher if his wounds disable him. At varying point in the rear, say one to three miles back, he reaches field hospital, the so-called advanced dressing station in the British army. This post is usually under canvas and situated at the farthest point which the ambulance, either horse-drawn or motor, can reach dressing station the patient after inspec- ton may be passed on without disturbing his dressing to the next station, or the wound may be redressed if necessary. If he has fracture requiring better immo- bilization or protection than it was pos- sible to give at the first station, it will be properly put up. Should he have some condition requiring immediate treat ment, such as dangerous hemorrhage. an operation may be performed. All cases, except under conditions of extraordinary rush, here receive the first prophylactic dose of antitetanus serum. He will also receive sufficient anodyne to make his journey to the next station comfortable. and 1t has been found that the generous use of anodynes prior to operation has a marked effect in diminishing shock. If conditions allow, he will also receive hot drinks or food or necessary stimuiants. Occasionally the patient is in so desper- ate condition that further transporta-

 As a demonstrator and pilot of the Caproni plane Captain Resnati is best known to Americans. He had been in this country but short while, but had performed number of spectacular feats.

The question has been answered affirmatively by the inventor of the electric magnetic tele- graph, Prof. Samuel F. E. Morse, by whose invention Pucks promise 'Th put girdle round the earth in 40 min utes," has been performed.
 Samuel Morse was the son of New England clergyman, who was the first American author of a geography. Care ful attention was paid to his early edu- cation, and he advanced so rapidly that he was able to enter Yale college when he was le years of age. He had a spe- cial talent as an artist, and to eke out his modest expenses at college he painted miniatures at $5 and drew profiles at a dollar.
 As part of his course at Yale, he learned all that was then Known about electricity and just because he filled and connected voltaic cells, charged and discharged Leyden jars, noted the vibra- ton of compass needles, his brain was planted with seeds which more than 70 years 4fterward germinated in his re cording telegraph.
 Morse had decided upon art as a voca. ton, and began to study under the eel ebrated Washington Allston. That fla nous artist was soon to cross from his native America to his studio in London He took Morse with him, and they sailed on July l3, 1911.
