OF the Viqilantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfuness was in Civil War
days the Red Cross surpasseS it UNNECESSARILY not
only in the range and variety Of it's effort but IN
efficiency and effectiveness
The Red Cross is, may say, the arms OF the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind I'D their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Gross is an army acithom q gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them; that it's work not incidental,
but the, intelligent directed effort of of the
most marvellous organizations contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds, again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet againl For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we Of great, Free
splendid glorious America. have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

The avalanche Of refugees that

civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were a new RESPONSE

wounded men that came steadily from
eihe shambles of the west front.
Paris is an old city. 1t was not
sready to take in its neighbors' chill

taight fit So it made the best Of its
2lpoor hospitality by offering up it's gar

eced impossible. Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning the
sarenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t is wonderful indeed how nobly
Eearis tried to meet this condition.
And 1t is remarkable how Paris met it
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,

This plan Of WaslSngtons was

government turned to what it consid-

the hands of the states directly con-
