SEE 1T THROUGH OVER THERE.

The blood and iron empire has
crumbled, the armistice is signed;
fighting has stopped, the Kaiser is
out
The uppermost id04 IN eyeryone's
mind today Is that the war is ended.
And the next thought is "Ou men are
coming home" Some of this months
magazine covers are picturing the re-
turn of the soldier to the arms of his
sweetheart or mother, and some car
toons of the same type have appeared.
A statement In the papers said that
with out present shipping facilities
cur entire army could be brough home
in three months. The effect Of all OF
this is that it Is raising high hopes
which may not be justified by subse-
quent developments The people of
this country must not be impatient for
the return of the boys until the job
Is done-well done.
The idea that the war is over and
the boys will be back tomorrow Is
most unfortunate fiction of circum-
stance; for as matter of fact now
that the actual fighting has stopped
our boys now across are going to
tackel an even harder task--the re-
building of devastated France and Bel
gturA and the satisfactory pacifica-
ton Of the central powers,
As a young American officer re-
marked. I'VE began the job about
three years late. But believe me, we
are going to show them that we know
how to finish a job"
The French government, through
NJ Andre Tardieu, has appealed to
America for the aid of our troops
over there in clearing away. the ruins
and beginning the work of rebuilding
stricken France and PROSTATE Bel
GUM. This means that the home COM
ing OF our boys will be delayed.
Reports in Washington indicate that
it will be- six months after peace is
concluded before the first transport
returns, bringing joyous bands of war
riors, and possibly two years before
the last American troops leave France.
Our boys are going to see the thing
through to the end. And to do II
they must have the backing of the
folks at home. The splendid vigor
of their fighting was due in part to
the knowledge that they had the en-
thusiastic backing of all America; we
must show them that we are witt
them rev z. We must hot weaken theft
determination to finish the job by any
signs of impatience or t'scontent. W.
at home must Garry g. harder thar
ever, AM await tn; 1eturn with
cheerfulness.

 Candidates for this service will be selected from the American Red CrosS Motor Corps in all cities where such motor corps now exist. Volunteers for this work are sought and the can didate must meet the requirements for his overseas duty as set forth by tho war departm years of age, loyal and healthy The American Red Cross will pay the transportations and, if necessary, the volunteers will be grV- en an allowance of 450 francs a month for expenses when out of Paris, where they will be employed, principally, end
 500 francs 8 month for expenses when in Paris.
 Special qualifications for this service are: Certificate of the First Division Red Cross Motor Corps Ambulance and Truck Driver or successful passing of examination in mechanics and first aid as specified for American Red Cross First Division Motor Ambulance and Truck Drivers. Women desiring to volunteer for this service are requested
 to make application at once to their local captain of the American Red Cross Chapter Motor Corps, where such corps exist, or to the director of Motor Corps of their division. About 500 women will be sent over to France every month for six months. Addi- tional calls for women drivers will fol- low.
 Fernando at Bellies Feui1les Hospital One of the Paris military hospitals numbers among it's patients brave lit tie mite of six years discovered at Faver olles by some kind of poilus of the xth Infantry As they patrolled the village streets to make sure that all was we'll before posting the sentries for the night, they heard 8 thin little ,oice from out the darkness:- "Soldiers, dear soldiers-please help mel am hurt"
 They lifted their lanterns and, through the broken window-pane of a ruined cottage, they saw the fright ened face of 6, little girl, streaked with blood and tears. Calling some Ameri- can ambulance drivers they wrapped
 her in a blanket placed her on stretcher alongside a gruff old French
 man, a grand Blesse" on his way to
New Britain herald., 1918-08-26

the dressing station, and carried them both tenderly to the waiting motor. A warm hearted Am erican college boy drove them to the station, thinking now and again of his own little sister across the ocean, and gave them into the care of the doctor in charge of an American Red Cross train.
 The little girl refused to leave her blesse and they lay side by side until early morning when sine was taken out at Aubervilliers and sent to the V. 0, hospital, 48 rud des Belles- -Feuiiies, Her friend was transferred to another military hospital and the next day 1le called his nurse and said: T know ] must die; but first,-tell me, is she safe?" Our wounded are like that.
 The child's nano was Ferdanda Noel. We are writing this in the hope that her parents, who were with her Just a few minutes before their house was shelled, may read the story and know that she is alive and in good hands, having been operated on ves- terday and now quite out of danger. She was struck in her sleep her father and mother must have gone out, to get help perhaps. She knows nothing more.
 Her nature is a charming one, she is quick and very intelligent As she lies in her long chair in the open court yard, the convalescents make a circle around her and her sunny smile is like Q ray of gold through the darkness of that place of suffering and forlorn hopes At times the little face is se- rious with characteristic peasant grav- ity and then it lightens at some jol1a CT at the sight of a simple toy given her by one of her kind friends. The men listen to her as they would to an oracle
 The Bocres would be happy if they knew how much they had hurt me-, and the frown on that tiny face is terrible to see. On the other hand, she adores the ambulance drivers who were so thoughtful of her: They don't speak as we do, but they are peo- pie like us just the same"
 She vows she will always love them" and hate those others, those who are not like us'. the other species of the human race. She tells that her village was under heavy bonn bardment for several days, that all the houses had been struck and still her parents refused to leave. They had suffered particularly at the hands of the airplanes.s She says she can al- ways tell those Of the Boches, they make so much noise and throw so many horrid bombs"

REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
Why Robert Savarin Signallod Even Lillian to Leave Him Alone
 With Marion.

We are all fairly elf-contained, poised wOmen-We, who were gather ed in Lillians rose hued bedroom yet 1 think that Lillian, Katherine and Mrs. Cosgrove had as hard a time as l did to keep back the tears when little Marion struggled to get down from Robert Savarin's arms, saying that her grandmother would want her.
 We managed to turn apparently un- concerned, even smiling faces upon the child, but the very room seemed tense with the knowledge that never again would old Mrs. Morton want nor need the little granddaughter she had adored.
 But Robert Savarin held her tightly.
 Marion, you want to please grand ma? You wouldn't want to hurt her, would you?"
