 Spartan mothers, dry eyed, sent their sons forth to battle; they steeled themselves for the sacrifice that seemed to them supreme. American mothers are giving up sons as freely. but the women of America conceive their sacrifice in terms of action. They have banded together to mitigate the horrors Of war as far as may be possible. While the tempest rages they labor unceasingly to ease the suffering that follows in it's wake. Mercy md gentleness. compassion and pity these keep alive the human vir- tues that motherhood must keep alive. The Red Cross means these things to millions of boys in camp, in trench, in hospital, far from home alone in the watches of the night. writhing in agony. burning with fever, they turn their eyes to the symbol of motherhood which you have sent them. The Red Cross, the greatest mother in the world.
