That was last night. We had half the Mare

LOSS TO The NATION

The entire nation has suffered dis
tinct loss in the death of Norman H.
Davis, chairman of the American Red
Cross. His long public career added to
his marked successes in his admirable
administration of this great humanitar-
ian organization. He became chairman
in 1888. Previously he had served the
country in various responsible posts con-
tinuously on from the Wilson admins
tration. When the global war started
his responsibilities multiplied many
times. Upon him fell the task of tuning
the organization to war needs He had
accomplished that tremendous undertak-
ing when death came His place will be
hard to fill.
