LAND WHERE DEAD MEN DWELE

(The following poem was written by
Lieut. John d. Cosgrove before he Lett for
France. He was killed in actton.)
I wandered among the graves oEs dAS
In the land where the dead rssn @wsfk
And sorrow seemed leagues away
From the hearts of that quiet dell,
heard no moan, and heard no sigh.
And no one rose with complaining crFs
But all slept under peaceful sky
In the land where dead inca &Swcs.
The roses red were there in bloom
In the land where the dead men dwell;
And the lilies white In the twilight gloom
Stood guard as the shadows fell.
The violets there in the waning day
Knelt down by the hearts of the dead to
pray,
And the wind passed by with a were DO
say,
In the land where the dead men dweaL.
I saw no sin and saw no strife
In the land where the dead men dwell;
And no one walled at the woes of life
At rest in their narrow cell.
Then why should one ever come to weep
In the land where the dead men dwell?

TOUL CANTEEN SERVED
1,621,417 DOUGHDOYS

vides Large Variety of EdibIes.

Oceans of coffee, chocolate and lem

sandwiches and pyramids of Ice cream
were consumed by the 1921, All Amer
lean doughboys who passed through
the American Red Cross canteen at
Toul, France, during the last eleven
months. The Toul refreshment sta
ton. long known as lone Of the bust
est Red Cross spots In France" is To-
Gated In the original American battle
sector, at a point which enabled 1t to
feed almost as many soldiers as there
were in the American expeditionary
forces. Many interesting figures re-
garding the canteen's activities are
contained in a report received at Red
Cross Headquarters.
American fighting men tarried there
long enough to eat 1,561,625 thickly
constructed, we'll filled sandwiches and
461,114 doughnuts. During the big
American troop movement In the
Teul sector last June the canteen
served 5000 men a day, the soldiers Of
the Twenty-sixth, Seventy-seventh and
Eighty-second divisions being cared
for as they passed through in trains.
No effort was made to keep track of
the number Of cigarettes and quantity
of tobacco passed out to the men at
this point. During the American Of
fensives last September $4,000 soldiers
received refreshments as they were
carried into and evacuated from a hos
pital two miles outside of Toul.
Originally the canteen was estab-
lished in a fifty-foot tent in the rail-
road yard at Toul, but with the rapid
increase in the number of men to be
cared for the Red Cross took over an
entire hotel close by for the work.
AS many as 1000 soldiers have found
lodgings there in a month, the number
cared for in this way rarely dropping
below 5000. More than 100000 SOL
diers received meals there during the
month of January. The shower baths
have been used by 10000 soldiers.
General Pershing recently inspected
the c;nteen and complimented the

A peace program for the Junior Red

the relief of child sufferers in war

One of the first steps will be the TAX
ing over of the maintenance of the
Red Cross Home for war orphans at
Mount Zion, Jerusalem, where children
orphaned by the war, whatever their
/ nationality, are sheltered.
1t is especially significant that the
children of America should form bonds
of union with their cousins in remote
lands. In this time OF unprecedented
international intercourse when nations
and races are being drawn together
through new common Nes and interests
discovered to them by the war, the
Red Cross regards 1t as fitting that the

bigger in population than London by
a quarter of a million, the figures for
1919 being S,045,090 in New York
against London's 7,7S7,326

area and population of New York was
steadily increasing and the margin be-
tween the size of the two communities
growing less and less until, In 1917,
New York gained the lead.
The land area of Greater London is
500 square miles, while Greater New
York covers 800 square miles, of which,
however 95 square miles is uninhabit-
