CHILDREN OF THE RED CROSS There is a home for crippled chil children, dren, children, a Protestant institution in Pitts Pittsburg, burg, Pittsburg, where the little ones were old something about the Red Cross, and how it took care of many children and soldiers and "hurt people" who other wise would suffer. Perhaps because? their own arms and legs were so i i- i ai i i l rnueii awry, aim mc iiau nv yi foy. of the running, jumping, jubilant youth of other s American children, their eyes saw straight into the very heart of suffering. This is what they did: They. poured their previous sav ings, pennies and nickles which had been given them from time to time, a few larger pieces and a bill or two, into a white box marked with the Red Cross. Some influential men of the city were seated around a table talking about raising money for the Ameri American can American Red Cross. That. small white box was there and some made as if to drop in contributions. But one of them held it up, and said, "No no further gift is permitted here. We could, not add to this." And in tht, presenceof this gift to the American Red Cross from the home for crippled children, there was a sudden quiet ness among these men of the world. In the Convent of the Sacred Jleart in .New .York, where two or three hun dred children, rich in kindness, re receive ceive receive their early education, the rev reverend erend reverend mother speaks often of tht children abroad. Without asking for direct' sacrifices, she has mentioned that sometimes when one is about to buy a new hair ribbon, or a pair of silk stockings, on stopping to think ene finds they are; not needed so much, perhaps j as food and clothing may be needed for children of the war. And so many a radiant little gift of girlish sacrifice has been plac ed in her hands to, send to them One day it was long before we too were in the war these children, girls from four to fourteen years, held a conference among themselves. They decided to ask the reverend mother how much it would amount to in mon money ey money or barrels of flour if they gave up their "gouter" for the rest of the year;-that little? daily treat at half past four, of plain catce or toast and a sweet the "party" that was at the night point of the day. Learning its equivalent, they asked that this bt denied them and the money sent to those other children overseas.

Most of our people are responding nobly to the calls of the Red Cross, and are readily handing out the mon money ey money to Tielp this noble organization.

There is a world-wide volume of tes testimony,, timony,, testimony,, going up to heaven from the saddest places of the earth, as to the merit of its -work. There may b some "coffee coolers" in the organi organization; zation; organization; among hundreds of thousands of men and women there are bound to be some grafters and slackers, but few there are in proportion to the magnitude of the service the Red Cross is doing.

It is al almost most almost sacrilege in these days to decry the work of the Red Cross, whose sign of mercy stands next in honor to our country's flag. . A private soldier from Camp Wheeler says that in various places in the company streets, of the camp are shoe-shine stands, owned and operated by soldiers who want to make a little extra money.
