THE MIGHT OF RIGHT.

I Wrong is wrong. whether in
/ Moscow. London or Peru. Moth
I ing can make wrong right.
I On the other hand, there Is
power to right that is able to sweep
I wrong from its citadels, and crush
I its power though IT bc ten times
! numerically as strong.
: Nothing founded upon wrong has
! ever been known to permanently
: endure
! There is might 10 right that is
I irreprcsSiblc and irresistible Every
I man Of force and vision knows this
: MS clearly rs he knows his name.
/ When General pcrshing said that
I Germany could bc beaten, that
I Germany must hc beaten, that
! Germany would bc beaten. he merely
expressed truth that every thinker
! already know. For wrong. though
I enforced hy Il million legions ot
fighting soldiers and though backed
I by billions of gold, could not make
a dent in right which must and
. always shall ultimately prevail.
Wrong always fights losing
battle.
Think Of this when YOU are
tempted toward present advantage.
Think Of this when the glitter looks
. 50 omtIch more attractive than dark
ness of the moment through which
YOU may hc passing Think and
know that the NIGH, of right IS all
. and ever powerful
Life Is battle Of the elements.
Fire against water Darkness again
hight Truth against falschood
But be encouraged hy the fact
chat right has never lost = fight
That right p,lgrimaglng across
strange and changing world, has
always led victorious army back
. home Remember, with Lowell
. Truth, forever on the scaifold,
. Wrong. forever on the throne
: Yet that ecaiiold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown

MOST DANGEROUS JOB
Men Of Ambulance Service Work
Under Fire.
Risk Their Lives to Get American Sol.
dlers Wounded In Action TO
the Surgeons.

Washington.-Mo dangerous OF all
the work Of the American Red Cross
is the ambulance service. The drivers
and attendants OF these ambulances
are always under fire.
Lieut.. Frank Dempsey talked inter
estingly about the life OF a Red Cross
ambulance driver in the verdun sector
where the fighting has been the hot
test. The Germans know the country
and are able TO drop big shells with
great accuracy on the roads the ambu-
lances must travel.
"Our work is never out OF range Of
the big guns" said he. I'VE 20 up to
the third-llne trench, gather the
wounded and take them back a mile to
the dressing station. Here only the
toughest bandaging is done and then
we start back another mile or so to an
other station where the most desperate
cases are operated upon.
''In the first week we handle the
wounded four or five times and finally
leave them in the evacuation hospitals.
From there they are carried to the
base hospitals, usually on trains
Thus the Red Cross ambulance driver
risks his life TO get American soldiers
TO the surgeons. Lieutenant Dempsey
had his ambulance blown to pieces
while he was a short distance away
picking up II wounded man.
When the wounded soldier gets to
the dressing stations or hospitals he is
assured OF the best bandages because
loving hands in America in Red Cross
chapters have prepared them. And a
CHEEKY Red Cross nurse viii smooth his
pillow and make his convalescencc
pleasant.
The dollars given to the Red Cross
are doing more than 100 cents worth
of good.

STEP TO VEIL TARTAR WOMEN
Mohammedan Order Enlarges Hand
kerchiefs to Hide Face Of
Wives and Daughters.

Petrograd-T Mohammedan Tar
tar men of Tchistopol district, province
Of Kavan. have ordered their wives
and daughters each to sew half a
square of extra material to the hand
kerchiefs with which they cover their
heads.
sThe women long ago ceased to veil
but when meeting unknown men they
took tab Of the bow formed by tying
handkerchiefs beneath the chin, and
held the tab before the face In place
of veil.
Unluckily, as the handkerchiefs with
the passing of time grew smaller, the
tabs ceased to cover the face, and the
act became only symbol. To make II
again reality husbands and fathers
are insisting on bigger handkerchiefs.

A record in the excursion bust

yesterday.
No crowd of river eXcursionists
that ever left the tri-cities exceed

1t is estimated that a thousand
more were left on the leyees in Rock
Island and Davenport because of
the limit 10 the load the boat is al
lowed to carry.
Although the ST. Paul is closing
its own season by taking the last

those that may be seen gathered TO
witness the loading and swinging
