The need is too great for us to compass even in our minds. The organization of the American Red Cross can do the things we cannot do ourselves—it can arrange the ship- ping, and carry our gifts, it can get them to our men. It can, if we let it, look after our men’s little children left at home. If you are not a member of the Red Cross, you are needed beyond your imagining. Please help—because you are 50 needed. To get the Red Cross to our boys and our men— This is a Red Cross Christmas! And now a successful revolution in Portugal. The folks are real busy, these times. LET US HAVE MORE LIGHT. The U.

ED.—Why shouldn't congress kick out that Socialist, Meyer London, the only member of the house treacherous enough to vote for our enemie: STEADY READER. There are several reasons, some po- litical, some legal, some logical. Meyer London was sent to congress to represent the opinion and wishes of a certain district, which he un- doultedly did in voting, ajone, against war vith pn Jyue, a congress- man's ‘su poded 6 a Seprétent the country at derge, pea gs tng lawjot Sociflist party, ajlaw that Perse it in the eyes of the vast majority o. intelligent Americans, that it is the Socialist party, first, last and all the time, regardless of all else. London voted correctly. Certain it is that if he had not so voted, he would be kicked out of his job; and equally certain {s it that, if congress goes to firing its members who stick to the demands of their districts, pretty exclusively, we'll see a lovely pro- cession of congressman homeward bound. But Meyer London is not wholly a calamity. Most g¥od causes are bet- ter from having a kicker or two. It} svould be mighty bad if we all settled | back in absolute, safety and perfectly | complete unanimity. London at least | shows us where kaiserism is and what it’s at. With the fierce little Social- istic, boil om the back of our neck, we are not likely to oversleep. The national food administration has decided hash is meat. Sure it is. What Kind of meat? All kinds. RED CROSS CHRISTMAS. There is a mother who works in her home and her church for the Red Cross who said that the highest points of her life, and her deepest happiness were the times her son, a new young second lieutenant home on furlough. talked with her as they washed the dishes together at the kitchen sink. How it is these humble things, and not the dramatic ones, that bind us together and thrill us now! How to those whom the war has touched, peo- ple are not so much generals or colonels, or presidents or servants or ice-men or traitors or scrubwomen or kings, as fellow-human-beings; and how the hope of carrying on what thousands of radiant youths have died and are to die for, centers upon the, little children. | This is thinging in Red Cross ways For the ideal of the Red Cross Treaty | signed in Geneva by the delegates of | nations, is merely this: that every | suffering human being in war, wheth-| er belonging to friend or enemy, shall be sacred to the Red Cross. Yet the _ symbol of that treaty is so great, that it is the meeting-ground of the most conflicting races and’ the mosi con-' hot stove, scandalizes the whole country, wheth- er or not there is any ground for scandal in it. Said senate also has a committce “hich is to investigate the manage- ment of the fuel and sugar prob- lems. The most influential members of this committee are the “wilfuls,” 4 Follette, Reed and Vardaman, who lid their dirty meanest to defeat food control. If this committee doesn’t lig up excuse for scandal against the ‘ood administration, it will show a reversal of human nature or a per- ‘ection of food administration that couldn't ‘bé possible or expected out- side of heaven itself. In view of these things, wg again urge upon the administration the wisdom of giving the people all the information possible as to what has peen and is being accomplished. Truth straight from the shoulder is the only antidote for scandal and lies. Pub- sicity is the mother, grandmother and | ul the other female’ relations of pub- tic confidence. If Kaledines and Korniloff have united to put out the Bolsheviki, Herr Tentne may*haye to call on his friend, - vA for: troops. i i a Ww i — Cheer up, fellows! A lady has in- sorporated her husband, and all he has to do is to work; no fighting Dill collectors; she does that. A British general, clad only in his pajamas, beat off a German raid on the Flanders front. Long lull in the fighting. The Germans, maybe, took him for a new kind of tank. Every American boy now in France eats 35 cents worth of food daily. Your $4.12 War Saving Stamp will feed nearly a dozen soldiers in khaki for a day. The food administration might threaten to close all public schools and colleges using coal direct for heating purposes, for two months, and sce what kind of a howl goes up. ‘Tis said that when London is he- nig bombed, the spectators go to smoking cigarets, as it conduces to scif-control. With a London cigaret in your face, you don’t care much where a bomb hits.
