QUEEN THANKS COL.
\. v. ANDERSON

Focsani. Rumania. - You have
brought back the smiles to the chill
dren OF my country" said Queer
Marie Of RuManiA TO Lteutenant-C Colo.
mel Henry W. Anderson, commissioner
OF the American Red Gross to the
Balkan States, AZ she finished q two.
day inspection trip to the hundreds
OF Red Gross canteents that dot the
country.
God knows what would have be-
come Of the poor little. tots II the
Americans hadn't come" Rumania'a
much loved queen said. with a sug-
gesticn OF mingled sorrow and graft
tude. How shall we ever repay you
for all you have done. After all. you
must look for your reward In the
hearts OF those you have saved. Their
prayers and gratitude will be your
best compensation
And what the queen said was not
just an expression prompted by the
enthusiasm of a moment. 1t was a
real appreciation of what the Ameri-
cans have done for her country. Not
only have they brought smiles and
contentment into the hearts of a mill
lion OF kumania's children whose
they have rescued from famine I'M
told numbers OF mothers whose hus-
bands gave their lives for their coun-
try. They provided shelter and food
to many thousands OF orphans at a
time when the state was too poor to
care for them.
Devoted American nurses and re-
lief workers have gone into hospitals
and homes and have administered to
the sick and dying. Drawing contagioun
and pestilence in all their forms.
American doctors and medicines have
meant to the destitute all the differ
ence between health and wretched-
ness. Whether 1t has been in fighting
typhus or combating the numerous
diseases brought on by famine and ex-
posture, the physicians and nurses
have preserved the finest traditions of
the medical and nursing profession,
and have brought new honor to the
American Red Cross

The stin, Small Voice.

We have seen the wages of Ameri-
can factories rise to a point above
which they have never risen before.
They are still at that height Have
you heard the voice OF industry calling
out that they should be reduced? Is
not the silence from a thousand indus
tries more potent than the shrieks OF a
few agitators or the walls of a few
employers? In their quiet way, which
has no spoken voice that we can hear,
the industries are moving on: little by
little are taking up the slack, stead
lily; as every financial authority states.
the country is settling down to the as
surance that matters are becoming
stabilized. But they are not being
stabilized because labor is being cut:
they are being stabilized with the
wages OF labor standing where they
are

many revelations Of the unusual
methods used by the Germans to
spread their harmful propaganda in
the countries arrayed against the GEN.

which often frustrated their well-laid
plans. In one case. mentioned in

be a volume of attacks on British
rule in India. Only the first few
pages or the book were printed with
the words OF the ancient poet. The
remainder. though in Greek type like
the beginning, was filled with the
diatribe. The volume was addressed
to an educated Hindu capable of
translating the Greek into an Indian
dialect.

4 you kick folks out of our house,
you, wouldn't kick up such a muss,"
said Mother Rabbit Grossly, as she set
about tidying up the rabbit nest.
Father Rabbit snorted and gave two
or three more little kicks. II wish
those mice would come back and I'd
clean up the place with them," he said.
He looked 80 funny standing there
With his whiskers twitching that Peggy
copldn't help giggling. Instantly Bunny
Rabbit, who was holding Peggy in her
arms, looked down.

0quealed. Billy, who was held fast in
Pinkey's paws, gave Peggy warning
wink. Pinkey saw the wink and gave
squeak of Joy.
.'My toy can open and shut its eyes

Johnny Rabbit held up Judge Owl
and looked him over carefully. ~
wonder what my toy can do" he said,
and he poked the judge In the stomach.
s'whoo! WhooW hooted Judge Owl
my toy can make funny noise,
zoo, squealed Johnny Rabbit, and he
h0pped up and down in delight. "He
looks and talks just like an old owl
that nearly caught me when was play
Ing In the fields night before last.''
e'Humph That boy doll looks Just
IKE youngster who once shot an air
rifle at me-" snorted Father Rabbit,
looking closely at Billy. "I'd better
kick him out, too"
you've done kicking enough for one
day." answered Mother Rabbit, and
then abe stared at Peggy. ''This girl
doll looks like child I once heard
taking about rabbit pie," she said.
s'Maybe you had better kick them out,
father, but don't you dare kick up any
more Dirt
Peggy, Billy and Judge Owl now fully
expected they would get the same rough
treatment the mice had suffered, but
Finkey came to their rescue.

We will carry them out and play in the
moonlight"
That's a good idea," shifted Mother
Rabbit. "And while you are gone
can clean things up"
So Johnny Rabbit clutched Judge Owl
tight under one paw and went scram-
bling UP the rabbit hole out of the nest.
Bunny Rabbit. carrying Peggy, was
next. and then came Pinkey Rabbit,
holding tightly to Billy. The rabbit
hole was long and twisting, but finally
1t came out in brush heap at the edge
of the woods Close by was an open
field on which light blanket of snow
sparkled In the bright moonlight.
LETS put our toys on our backs
and run races like horses" suggested
Johnny Rabbit.
Good" said Pinkey and Bunny
Rabbit, lifting Billy and Peggy to their
heads. There the children clung be-
tween the big ears of the rabbit, and
on started Pinkey and Bunny at hop
ping pace. Right after them sped
Johnny Rabbit with Judge Owl cling
ing fast to his fur.
Around and around the field they
raced, Peggy and Billy thrilling with the
fun. But suddenly there came sound
thaC caused the tnree raDDitS to give
leap of fear. "Ur-ur- ur -ur -urgh +"
came the growl of dog. In the path
of the rabbits stood Johnny Bull.
Away rushed the rabbits in a panic,
only to halt behind bush when they
! had gained a safe distance.
"It's that slow bulldog. We can run
circles around hin" I" snickered Johnny
Rabbit.
Lets go back and tease him." sug-
gested Bunny Rabbit.
"It tickles me to see how mad he
gets when he can't catch u.s." squealed
Pinkey Rabbit. And back the rabbits
went to frolic with Johnny Bull.
Peggy giggled, Billy Uttered and
Judge Owl chuckled. 1t was very funny
to hear the rabbits talking that way OF
their old friend, Johnny Bull, who
thought himself mighty hunter. And
1t would be jolly sport to have him try
to catch them. But they wouldn' Z
have giggled. nor Uttered, nor chuckled
so much If they had known how wise
Johnny Bull was in his hunting and
what shrewd trap he had laid for the
foolish young rabbits.
