YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Without a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
Of the Vigilantes.
' I 'HE Red Cross is the greatest instrument of
* mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days, the Red Crt >ss surpasses it immeasurably not
only in the range and variety of its effort, but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army without a gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to war with a spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency ot humanity presses
close behind them; that its work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvelous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds,—again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is a war for
the defense of civilization, and we of great, free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.
STRETCHING PARIS TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF FRANCE
THE RED CROSS HAS HELPED WHERE GOV
ERNMENTS WERE HELPLESS.
The avalanche of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north of
France had been the despair of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were a new responsi
bility to be added to the thousands of
wounded men that came steadily from
the shambles of the west front.
Paris is an old city. It was not
ready to take in its neighbors' chil
dren. Its population was already a
tight fit. So it made the best of its
poor hospitality by offering up its gar
rets. New building construction seem
ed impossible. Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning 'he
trenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
It 13 wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met it
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape «• r precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls and
Jumper, carried the hod. became archi
tect. engineer and contractor and went
into the building of homes. Here was
a church lot that lay vacant: here an
unfinished hospital; there a worn out
i minding, an or which in a fortnight
! were started on their way toward new
apartments, rooms and sleeping wards.
| We here at home who associate the
j great Red Cross movement with band
ages and white gowned nurses must
lose this old illusion in the light of a
i thousand other works for humanity.
In this case we see the Red Cross
first as diplomats convincing the civil
authorities of Paris as to their ability
to remedy the situation, then as
architects remodeling buildings, chang
ing building plans, hiring labor gath
ered by themselves from the ex-sol |
diery and the older man, all the while
working under every imaginable hand
1 icap. while Father Time cried, “Get it
i done, get it done.”
! So out of the garrets came these de
; spairing people to find new hope ii
| ('lean homes, to get new cheer out of
, sheer bodily comfort and fresh cour
age to again take up the great trust
i that France has kept so well—“to car
ry on.” It is not strange that out
French brothers believe in your own
Red Cross just a little more than yon
i do. Rut should this be?

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
Of the Vigilantes.
Broken with pain and weariness
And sapped with vile disease,
Back to the land of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland'from Germany
The trains of wreckage ran,— j
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat was green above the scars
Of steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead—
The child was on its mother’s breast,
The old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of God’s Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
A Red Cross Man! j
Unless some immediate action is taken
by those in charge of the railroad prob
lems of northeastern New England, sev
eral importanr industries are going to get
a body blow that may cripple them so
severely that they will conclude that
there is no incentive to effort in the pro
duction line. All along the Washington
County Railroad, from the seacoast to
Washington Junction, and particularly in
the extreme eastern section, there are
huge piles of pulp wood, cordwood and
other raw and manufactured products
which cannot be moved, and for the re
moval and handling of which there is ap
parently little immediate hopes.
Good Work.
All records for rapid construction of a

for launching.

Patriotic Maine Indians.
The Passaniaquoddy Indians have 22

The Rockport, Me., board of trade is
endeavoring to arouse interest in the pos
sibilities of the shipbuilding plant of the
Carlton-Norwood Co , situated in Rock
port, being taken over by parties inter
ested in the resumption of the industry
at that port. Low rental, deep water,
and ample space in the harbor to accom
modate a large fleet of vessels, are among
the points guaranteed.
A number of Maine sea captains, who
have lately enrolled for government ser
vice, have been ordered to the Great
Lakes to bring around to the Atlantic
coast some of the numerous steamers
commandeered by the government for
trans-Atlantic service.
During a thunder shower of but little
severity, and lasting less than twenty
minutes, which visited Freeport about
3 o’clock, May 6, the house occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Hannibal Bowie, located on
Main street, and owned by A. H. Kilby
of Freeport, was struck by lightning, and
Mrs. Lillian Bowie, aged 25, wife of Han
nibal Bowie, who was sitting by a win
dow, crocheting, received a shock, from
the .effects of which she died shortly after
ward.
Construction of 50 wooden barges of
3500 tons each for use in the coastwise
coal carrying trade, was authorized by
the shipping hoard. The vessels will be
built at New England and South Atlantic
shipyards. They will aid materially in
solving the problem of keeping New Eng
land supplied with coal. But not this
year.
AMERICANS TALK TOO MUCH.
Major General E. D. Swinton, credited
with being the inventor of the “tank,”
and who, as “eyewitness” for the British
staff, reported the earlier battles in
France, has addressed a few friendly
words to Americans that seem needed at
Washington.
“One thing you Americans must do,”
he says, “and that is not talk so much
about your war preparations. I see now
some talk about building a gun to shoot
100 miles. Well, if you build such a gun,
build it, but don’t talk about it. The
same is true about your airplane program.
Let the Germans have their first taste
when they see your air fleets in the air
over their lines.”
General Swinton practises what he
preaches. The first the Germans knew
of his “tanks” was when they came wad
dling across No Man’s Land scattering
death and destruction as they lumbered
forward. So with the Germans. They
did not advertise their 70-mile gun, their
poison gas or their liquid fire. Who can
guess how many inventions they have
tried out that failed and no one the wiser.
But at Washington every program is
press-agented far and wide. Look at our
shipbuilding stunt. Most of the criti
cism and disappointment to ourselves and
our Allies in that field was due to exag
gerated publicity at the start. The same
with our airplane program, with the piti
ful mouse that resulted from the moun
tain’s labors. Eventually we shall no
doubt catch up and surpass the advance
notices, but think how much disappoint
ment and disarrangement of plans here
and abroad would have been avoided had
our official publicists had General Swin
ton’s advice at the outset and acted upon
it.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
ALL SOkTS
The enrollment of more than 102,000
boys between 16 and 21 years of age for
farm work this season in the boys’ work
ing reserves of the United States Em
ployment Service, has been made by six
States, according to an announcement by
the Department of Labor. The States
first reported were: California, 22,000;
Indiana, 18,845; Illinois, 25,000; Ohio, 18,
000; Tennessee, 4,200; Wisconsin, 14,00(1.
In Rhode Island High school boys are
being enrolled in the reserve, trained in
handling farm machinery, and sent in
groups by automobile to farmers to dem
onstrate their ability.
Men’s colleges and universities are mak
ing prompt response to the request of Sec
retary of Labor Wilson that their students
be enrolled in the Public Service Reserve
and placed on farms this summer to as
sist in food production. They will be
placed with farmers through the United
States Employment Service, with the aid
of the county agents of the Department
of Agriculture.
The Pay of War Prisoners.
When employed on work that is neces
sary for their comfort, or for the upkeep
of the prison barracks in which they are
interned, prisoners will receive no com
pensation. When the work is done for
the government, prisoners will be paid at
a rate according to the work executed;
when the work is for other branches of
the public service or for private persons,
the conditions of and the compensation
for such work will be settled in agree
ment between representatives of said
branches or persons and the adjutant
general of the Army. The wages of the
prisoners shall go toward improving their
position, and the balance shall be paid
them on their release, after deducting the
cost of their maintenance.

Catarrh of Throat/^n
Miss Amalie Ruzicka, 1449 South
16th St., Omaha, Nebraska, writes:
“I have suffered with catarih of the
throat. I caught cold and it settled
in my throat, and I coughed badly
and was very weak. I could not sleep
and had no appetite. I had two doc
tors, and had taken so many different
medicines and found no help. I thought
I will have to give up; but at last
my mother read about Peruna, so I
thought of trying that great medicine
Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in
about four days I almost stopped
coughing, and after a while I surely
found relief, and from that time we
are not without Peruna in our home."

Our Boys Catch a Spy.
The first German-American to be caught
spying on the Americans is safely in cus
tody. 'Behind the characterization of
traitor to his country contained in the re
port of his arrest, is the story that he
aided a German prisoner to escape. Both
men donned American officers’ uniforms
and entered the line from the rear in the
late afternoon. They said they were
studying the ground between the lines
with a view' to using tanks and asked to
. be allowed to cross the lines. The officei
to w'hom they made the request soon dis
covered the ruse and ordered them es
corted to the rear. There it was found
; that one of the men was a German and
that the German-American was his ac
complice.
