RED CROSS SERVING DlscHARC.
ED SOLDIERS IN MANY WAYS.

"Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid fort"
mo"
Neither did /. / wonder when
Uncle Sam is coming through
with it."
This conversation, or one like it,
is taking place these days between
hundreds of pals" in the service. or
just discharged from it. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds for
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth is to
inform representative Of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against. The soldier must give the
representative all the information he
can and leave the rest to the associa-
ton, which will take up the matter
and see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail.
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of his
bonds to. the Red Cross representa-
tive, who obtains it from the bond
section of the zone finance office
and delivers it to the owner.
This is one of the many services
Of this great organization which is
soon to conduct a third roll call to
gain money and members to keep up
it's work permanently.

what will you do if we have an
other epidemic of flu?"
This is the question that is being
answered daily by DR.. E. L. Morgan,
national director of the Red Cross
Bureau of Organization, in the Gulf
Division. From community to COM
mun:ty, DR.. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was be-
fore the Home Service Institute at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he>said
that the question of preparation for
epidemics is of paramount impor-
lance.
eff a district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because Of
impure water" said DR.. Morgan,
treat the case as though you were
acting for a.family. Consult the
public health officials, and the sani-
tary and legal forces, and get the
community back of you to carry out
the necessary reforms"
Dr. Morgan's tour is principally in
the interests of the rural community
the community which is getting
such large share of attention in the
Red Cross Peace Time Program. The
Home Service sections of the Red
Cross are to have great part in
this work and it is expected that
public health viii be- improved to a
great extent through their co-opera-
ton with Red Cross public health
nurses.
Look around your own town."
DR.. Morgan told the Red Cross work.
ers, sand see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirt Ind unsani-
tary. If the death rate is too high,
there is reason-and you must find
out that reason. All of the people
are stockholders in the community,
and their stock improves or depre-
ciates according to the condition in
which their property is kept, and the
property improves in proportion with
the person who owns it.
"The Red Cross has two-fold job
in this respect" DR.. Morgan contin-
ued. ave must carry on the work
the individual chapter has decided
upon, such as employing public
health nurses, getting better schools,
and supplying the needs of the COM
munity; secondly, we must carry on
a campaign of education to give the
people the knowledge that will make
them desire the greater things Of
life"
"We are going to do for the coun-
try what is being done for the city.
Living conditions in the two places
must be made equally pleasant and
heahhful."

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train-A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy Of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ar.
rival of President Wilson, convinced
a great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because Of 1t,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting 10
the possession by Japan Of the PENN.
sula of Shan Tung in China.
