American Red Cross

The story Of the American Red Cross in the
World War win. be read with interest by millions
of Americans, for it was one Of the agencies OF
mercy that was near and dear to the heart Of
every man and woman who did not see service,
and was highly appreciated by the men overseas.
It is eminently fitting and proper that the
story should be written by one who helped guide
its work. Henry P. Dawson is the author of "The
American Red Cross in the Great War;, which
has just left the press. The New York Times de-
votes lengthy review to the volume. Excerpts
follow: '. @~s a. "@
Zone of the most thrilling Of all the stories
Of the many phases Of Americas participation
in the great war is the story of the development
and services of the Red Cross. 1t is story of
which nearly all Americans have a right to be
proud-barring always those who were so credul-
Gus and so basely minded that they believed and
circulated the stories impugning its honesty and
good faith that tbuzzed about the country for
many months. Those who were guilty Of such
baseness ought to be the first to read carefully
this book in order that they may realize how des-
picable was their offense and be inspired by an
adequate sense of shame.

his friends by his acduaintances. He

him. The following interesting state
ment was made by him in person to
the Tanlac representative.

six years ago, when l suffered q nerv.

was indigestion and catarrh but my

from indigestion and heartburn that
felt just like there was a coal OF

always disagreed with me so: I could
taste them for hours afterwards. 7
ate one for dinner the other day and it
agreed with me perfectly and felt

tell you, I am beginning to feel like

ANN
az MILDRED MARSHALL

Amy. signifying beloved. is derived
from the Latin amo, to love. There is
an adjective amabilis. meaning low
able, which gave rise to the feminine
proper name Aimable, much used in
early times, probably through some
complimentary allusion to the quality
which Is an admirable II sometimes
rare feminine possession.
The first Aimable known to history
was the Norman heiress of Glouches-
ter who SO strongly protested against
accepting even a Kings son without
a name. On English lips, her name
became Amabel, which has been hand
ed down practically unchanged in En-
glish families. France adopted the
name, after placing the stamp Of her
language upon it. and long honored
a Saint Amata or Aimee. She had
many namesakes. SO there can be lit
tie doubt that Norman families are
responsible for pretty, simple Amy.
England liked the name and adopt
ed that spelling, but France has al
ways chung to Aimee. About the end
of the seventh century, the masculine
counterpart was given a religious sig
nifance by Saint Anne, or Amatus, a
hermit Of Valais, and later Bishop Of
Sion. who was prosecuted by Merov-
ingian kings.
Amicia was evolved by the English
from Aimee and served as an affected
form of Amy, just as Edythe and Alys
are used by the ultra-smart young
ladies of today for Edith and Alice.
The most notable instance of the adop-
ton of Amicia was the daughter Of
the Earl of Leicester. who brought her
country to the fierce old prosecutor.
Simon de Montfort, and left it to the
war-like earl who imprisoned Henry
III. Her sister carried Amicie into
the Flemish family of De Royce where
it became Amice.
Amy's lucky gem is the carnelian,
which gives courage and confidence
to its wearer and preserves her from
injury or accident. Singers are es'
pecially fortunate in possessing car
nelian since it is said to have great
potency in promoting strength and
clarity Of voice. Friday is Amy's
lucky day and 6 is her mystic mum

'aThe Chairman Of the War Council ob the
American Red Cross, who helped to plan its many
and varied activities upon broad scale, to arouse
the American people to an understanding Of their
obligations in the matter of Red Cross work. and
to carry out swiftly and efficiently the plans
whose realization the people had made possible,
has written the story Of the work, of which he
was so large part, very well indeed. So vast
and SO important were its labors that it would
need volume many times the size Of this to tell
the story with detail, and therefore Mr.. Dawson
has selected representative phases, instances, ex-
periences, generalized from mass of reports,
woven the whole into running narrative that is
full of color and life that thrills with the energy
and patriotism and purpose of those great days,
that will make any one who was part Of that
mighty effort proud and thankful that he was
privileged to be one of the 100000 men,
women and children who were the American Red
Cross.
"Mr. Dawson takes up first the development
of the membership, the raising Of adequate funds,
and the planning Of the work. Then he goes on
to describe the different phases of that work, d.
viding it into two sections, that carried on at
home and that done abroad for the populace and
the soldiers Of the war-worn nations with which
we were associated. Of that done at home the
scope, variety, and importance of the Home Ser
vice will perhaps have in it most interest and
surprise for those not already acquainted with
what that service did. OF the development of
the Red Cross membership from less than half
a million to a mighty army of 100000 Mr..
Dawson says that the rallying Of the comrade-
ship is, indeed, one of the romances of demo-
cracy'."

FRENCH CHILDREN HAVE
FORGOTTEN HOW TO sMMF

New York, March 5.--"There is
nothing in France today sadder than
the unsmiling and solemn faces OF
the children Of France who for four
years have lived under the shadow OF
the sword and have had all bright
ness and hope crushed out of them by
the cruel hand OF the Hun.
Many children who should be
romping over grassy fields, hobble
about on a crutch instead, or have to
make out with a single arm, but even
the faces of those who are whole
look sad and old from the suffering
they have experienced and seen.

one little settlement a party; just a
frolicsome party. the kind our chill
dren like. and would watch their
faces brighten up. There were
games, cakes and candies. which have
been so rare over there. and story
books which ] thought would delight
their childish hearts. They played
games as I suggested but their faces
remained fixed and serious. I asked
one of the French mothers If there
was anything had neglected and II
there was anything wrong with the

children for so long have been forced
to leave of all noise and play, and

have forgotten how to smile These

and have made up my mind that w
