Shakespeare Stands Alone.

Admitting to the fullest that the
present age cannot forestall tie judg-
ment of posterity, it seems unlikely
that copy of the work of any con-
temporary dramatist will ever sell for
$29,OOO. Such a thing happened re-
Gently in the case of four Shakespeare
folios; but Shakespeare was Shake
speare, even when his contemporaries
took him as matter of course, and
since then the judgment of time has
made him a standard by which the en-
during genius of later playwrights can
be reasonably estimated.

AMERICANS FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross Will Use Lat
est Methods.

Included in the unit of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
of the leading anti-tuberculosis work
erS of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
DR.. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, Is medical director of the
tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh,
and DR.. Robert 81. Bishop, the assist
ant director, rs secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis League of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner of that
city. DR.. John 81. Lowman of Cleve-
land, former president of the Ma
tional Association, is another promi-
nent member of the unit. Others are
DR.. Robert G. Patterson, secretary Of
the Ohio tuberculosis Association;
Seymour II. Stone, until recently Sec
rotary of the Massachusetts, Anti-Tu-
berculosis League; DR.. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary of the New York City
Association of tuberculosis Clinics,
and n. A Nelson, superintendent of the
Cincinnati AAti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re-
quest of the Italian government, will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some of them will be
charged with the establishment Of
clinics where people of all ages may
be examined and treated; others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren, and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign in America that 1t
has produced specialists of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremittingly here at home Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National TuberculO-
sis Association. tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross in its Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.

TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER

Following tour of South England,
Secretary Of War Baker made this
comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
"These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated on the way in which it is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
81 left London so shortly after my
drive to Winchester that / had no
early opportunity to thank you for
the courtesy of the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the trip.
On this trip to Europe l have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence of the
astonishing efficiency of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England. l have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Cross
has done to weld hearts of the allied
people together"

Antiquity of Disease.

The antiquity of disease is shown
by the recent discovery of Prof.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, Washington.
He found fossilized toxic, or poison
Gus bacteria, at the base of and far be-
low the Cambrian rocks. These rocks
had originally lain 36 miles below the
earth's surface, but had been up
sion. Theirs is an age of 100000
years ago.

Good Advice.

If you're a good citizen you will be
more concerned about your contribu-
ton to the world than you will be
about what the world thinks about it.
It's the fellow who can forget what
the world may think, in the desire to
give the world the best, who really de-
serves praise. Forget the unkind
words and dismiss the sighting acts
OF people about you. Censor all that
you hear for the good that's in it and
profit by the result. You will be far
more comfortable and the world will
hear from you.

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING
FOR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against
Pain, Disease and Death.

Through three takings Of Belgrade,
first when the city was taken by the
Austrians, again when 1t was retaken
by the Serbians, and still again when
it was taken back by the Germans and
Austrians together, an American Reo
Cross nurse, Mary Gladwin, worked
in the operating room. In that nrst
capture, when nine thousand wounded
crowded the wards and halls and yard
of the thousand-bed-hospita and doctor
and nurse worked together for day
and night without stopping, giving to
each operation an average OF six min
utes, and employing emergencies In
spired by the desperate need of the
moment, they did not know that the
city had been taken until all the
stretchers brought Austrian wounded,
and Austrian doctors came to their
relief.
Several hundred women are work
ing over there In the American Red
Cross canteens. There are about two
hundred of these canteens along the
French and American lines of COM
Auu1SdllOuB anu LAC WOlhCh 0AO WIN
ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross
is also establishing canteens by mill
tary request at number of Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone of
these canteens has something of the
genius of home about it; and 1t is
because of this, no less than the ia
cijties for cleanliness and rest and
refreshment, that the French govern
ment has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies
to the hands Of the American Red Cross.
In large numbers women are going
abroad as hospital hut workers, also,
and as social workers for trained
service among the refugees and the
repatriated. AT each base hospital the
Red Cross is equipping, as fast as they
can be built, recreation huts for con-
valescent soldiers.
Clerical workers have steadily in
| creased In number for the admins
trative offices. From that original
group of eighteen, which as the first
American Red Cross Commission to
France sailed about June LIST, 1917,
the organization has grown to a work
| ing force of more than 5000 men and
| women.

EASING THE CARES
OF SOLDIERS FAMILIES

The ten thousand Home Service Sec
tons of the American Red Cross, in
their work of looking after the fami-
lies of the enlisted men, are doing Won
ders for the morale of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going to
worry about themselves, but if they do
not get cheerful letters from home, or
If anything goes wrong there, they are
going to worry, and that delicate thing
the army men call morale is going to
be disturbed. 1t is to safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir-
1t of neighborliness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was or
ganized.
Over $4,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner of the country,
however remote. Not a town or VII
lage or crossroads that is not within
reach of the Red Cross; not wife or
child or mother Of a man in service
who cannot claim the ready aid of the
Red Cross workers.
More than 100000 families of Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors have been re-
Heved of money troubles, legal difficult
ties and worries of all sorts by the
protecting arm Of the Red Cross. Ii
the allowances of allotments under the
War Risk Insurance law do not come
the matter is at once referred to Red
Cross Headquarters, taken up with the
proper government bureau and prompt
ly Strengthened out. If, through the
delay, the family finds itself in need
of money sums are advanced to tide it
over until the allotment arrives. Dur
ing July over sixty thousand inquiries
of this kind were received, and more
than a third of these were taken clear
through to headquarters before they
could be Strengthened out.

Destroyed Builders Bills.

Nobody ever will know how much
the great palace of Versailles cost
France under the reign of its builder,
Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared
when he received the bills, because he
had heard a good deal about some dis
turbers who were whispering that even
king had no right to spend so much
money for palace to house his friends
when the nation over which he ruled
was starving. So Louis did what many
a purchaser of expensive hats has
done'since-tore up the bills and burn
ed them before anybody could look
them over.

The London Times.

The London Times was founded on
January 1, 1888, by John Walter, who
started small newspaper, originally
called The Daily Universal Register,
the first number of which was issued
on January /, 1856. This was really,
though not in name, the first number
of The Times. The 940th number,
which appeared on January 1, 1888,
was for the first time entitled The
Times, or Daily Universal Register, but
the second title was dropped on March
10 of that year, since which the paper
has been known as The Times.

CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES To ARCHANCEL
Red Cross Sends Relief Ships fol
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archangel by the
American Red Cross with 1900 tons
of drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia The vessels cargo was val
ued at $1,511 ,233
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross,
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting to over $2,0O0,OOO
Major c. T. Williams of Baltimore
was in charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly men,
Der of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, at one
time a member of the latter commits
sion, but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medi-
cal end of the Archangel expendition.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$4,000 a week The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that 90 per cent. of them were
tubercular.
In addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was for the
comfort, convenience and pleasure OF
the Allied soldiers. Just few of
these articles were playing cards,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins,
accordeons, ukaleles, monographs,
tcameras, skates, wigs, whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snowshoes,
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles,
prayer books, boxing gloves, games,
music, books, cigarettes, candy and
dried fruits.
The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the Kola
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the relief ex-
pendition was sent are virtually iso-
lated from the outside world because
of the treacherous coast line shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. An
exceptionally early frost, even for that
part of the world, ruined the harvests,
which were expected to improve con-
ditions. Statements, printed in Rus
sian, explaining the work of the Red
Cross, were distributed among the in
habitants.

Western Samoa.

German Samoa or Western Samoa,
as it is called since September, 1914.
when British occupation took place,
comprises the islands of Savaii and
Opolu with the town of Apia as the
head of the political and commercial
life. The islands are the remains OF
a semisubmerged volcanic range, heav-
lily clothed with tropical verdure which
to a great extent prohibits agriculture
or farming; hence the principal indus
tries are the planting Of coconuts,
cacao and rubber.

They have known very well the risks
they were taking-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emergencies, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as sol
diers do. Literally, they went as
lighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit Of nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time ave hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the stretchers with the
newly wounded are brought in. See
thousands of them in evacuation hos
pitfalls, base hospitals, cOnvalescent
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them in French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent (;
see them with their specialized skill
in head surgery, or fracture work, or
psychiatry all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambuiances unload great
harvests of wounded. Then we say
the words "Our Nurses" as we say
"Our Soldiers" sour Sailors" sour
Marines"
On the night of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who I'M
der order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before. The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
sections kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com
piegne, and so in the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly on,
while the buzz of aeroplanes shook
the air, and the blasting guns shook
the earth.

FOR ITALY'S BABIES.

Motherhood in Italy just now is not
the Joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends TO clothe
the children already in the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
preciated gifts of the American Red
Cross at this time are the layettes
which are being given TO the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists OF
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, so dear
to the heart of the Italian woman.
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
Chioggia alone.
