Generals did their duty in the war.
They stayed back where they could
diret the fight, but it was the en-
thusiasm of the Salvation Army lassie
which led her to the front trenches and
gave her the loyalty, the courage and
the devotion to meet the boys, as they
came out of the trenches with dough
nuts and hot coffee.
~ would not, if I could, take a single
leaf from the laurel of renown which
graces the brow of every great general
in this war who did his duty, but I
would, If l could, have all the world
bow in love and alteration at the feet
OF those enthusiastic girls who for
God, humanity and democracy dared
all, sacrificed all and suffered all.
No Worthier Banner
"a disenthralled world glories in
the success of the armies of democ-
racy. A right thinking world breathes
blessings forever upon the American
Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A, the Knights
of Columbus and the Jewish Welfare
Board, but whether Jew or Greek
bondman or free, in all the armies of
the Allied cause I have thus far to find
a man who does not warm with en-
thusiasm at the mention of the valor
the devotion and Christian consecra-
tion Of the Salvation Army.
There is no banner in all the world
worthier to float in the consecrated
air of service and sacrifice beside the
American banner than the banner OF
the Salvation Army"
Bishop Wilson said, in part: "The
Salvation Army gave not only bread
but they gave also God in that un-
cstentatious fashion that has char
acterized 80 finely all the doings OF
this army. The men who are coming
back will be singing the praises Of
the lassies over there, and I think thai

coming back, will, by tho light thai

its word and the faithful life, be yon

the easket Of Sir Wilfrled Laurier and
had remarked the bouquet OF flowers
upon which lay the symbol 80 In red

this number means the same as the
words which the great departed pro-
nounced some days after being strick-

symbol has been lost the traditions

LET us END AS WE BEGAN

The work of the Red Cross is all a
work of love. 1t is needed now more
than ever, when the full, terrible sum
of the wars cost is being estimated in
deaths and wounds and suffering and
manning, in blindness and lameness
and weakness of eveay sort. in bitter
loss and need in America, and In end
less canteen and hospital service over
there. cit us end the great war as
we bega itin generosity and love- to
the men than have spared us what
England and France and Italy have
endured for years. The organization
of the Red Cross is perfect, there is
no soldier beyond their reach, there
is no crossroads villages too small for
them to find and help. From "The
Spirit of Washington" by Kathleen
Norris. in the February Red Cross
Magazine.
