At the same-time, are no people ‘so. wasteful. as. Americans, which fact may be demonstrated by the same illustration, : These American. traits are equally| as characteristic of Bates county as of the rest of the natidn. Our. or. ‘ganized charity consists of the main- tenance of a-county home and the work of yarious local committees. By this latter method the burden-is placed upon a few, and by their nob- lest efforts’ these committees: cannot overcome. the defects inherent in the | method itself. . Only in?recent years has there de- veloped a nation-wide plan to sy: tematize our charities, This. consists of the organization of the American Red Cross on a nation-wide basis. 'The world war is bringing this work of organization to a quick culmina- tion. Its results will, however, not alone provide for the emergencies. of war, but in every local community, as well as in the nation at large, it will place our relief work on a perma- nent and systematic basis. This is one big reason for joining the Red Cross. Wut the war has hastened this or- ganization because of the immediate and almost incomprehensible. need occasioned by the war itself. And this is why we should join the Red Cross NOW. Already the American -Red Cross is in France, in Belgium, in Armenia, in Palestine, in Russia. But its contributions are as yet inadequate to meet the neces- es of the time, Such resources as France and Russia and England have been able to spare from the vast bus- iness of war, to minister to the suf- ferers from its tragedies, have been drawn upon and drained until now they are well nigh exhausted.

What is it worth to'have him ministered to by the best skill and tenderest hands that science and human love can supply? Surely, though one has no boy of his own, His heart must.melt when he contem- plates this big reason for joining the Red Cross. Don't depend on those who have boys in the trenches to support the Red Cross. God knows they will do so. But can we be so selfish as to NEED ONLY MEN 2: TO 31. Further Registration Unnecessary, Major General Bell Believes From the New York World.

ARNOLD, 5 Treasure! We, the auditin due examination correct. Mania and Belgium are entirely help- less. Practically there are no able bodied men left either among. the armics of civilian populations of these ‘nations. They are prostrate. Japan is laboring under an enormous na- tional indebtedness, and with a teem- ing population far out of proportion to its-territory and resources. Re- sult: America is the nation upon which depends the very life of the world. Is America equal to its duty. Will Bates caunty discharge its share of this mighty obligation? ASSURED- LY! But let us consider miore analytical- ly the work that lies before us: In France, the boys of sixten have been called to the trenches. A few weeks ago a woman returning from relief work there reported in one of our leading magazines that 50 per cent of the men and boys in the French trenches have been wounded. But still they fight, the heroes that they are. ‘ i! Noone ever imagined the casual- ties of this war. In such battles as now rage the losses are stupendous. The regular army hospital service is entirely inadequate, even if it were calculated to saye the desperately wounded. It is an instrument of war, not of mercy. Its purpose is to treat the ailing, and to minister to such of the wounded as are susceptible of be- ing put in condition fit to be fed again into the maw of the trenches. But for the soldier who is lacerated by shrapnel, for the soldier who is disfigured by bursting shells, for the soldier who is blinded by poisonous gas, for the soldier whose limbs are :mangled, for the soldier so wrecked that he can never again be made fit for military service there is but one hope. Such a one, when he lies on the field, torn and in agony, has but one single chance to ever get back home to those ‘he loves and who love him. That’ chance is the Red Cross. The deft and tender hands of Red Cross women alone can restore him. Is not this sufficient reason for joining the Red Cross? But there are more: Twenty-four hours in the trenches, under constant. shelling, is exhaust- ing. Men go crazy if held there for Jong.- periods. _Consequently, . they. must. be often relieved and taken. a committee, after |” a@ the above to bet} wish another to sacrifice his loved ones and his treasure while we sit calmly and undisturbed, enjoying the fruits of that sacrifice, smug in our security? Another big reason for joining the Red Cross. But the work of the Red Cross is not yet told. In France today every woman is dressed in mourning for husband, father, son or brother slain. The towns are full of little homeless children, ragged and hungry, whose homes have been destroyed, whose fathers have paid the price of liberty. Who is to care for these helpless and innocent- victims of war's’ ravages? The resources of France are gone. The task fatls to the great American Red Cross, That France may live; that the people whose forebears fought for our independence, whose sons today fight to preserve the prin- ciples of free government that these people may not perish from the earth, these children must be fed and clothed, Join the Red Cross. And Belgium! As fast as the terri- tory. of Belgium and Northern France is wrested from the German emperor's grasp it is found desolate. Not a house, not a tree, not a fence, not an animal, not an instrument of husbandry is there. This territory must be rehabilitated, and the heroic women and infirm men who aré left supplied with some means to reclaim this territory from war's devastation. This: aid must come through the Red Cross. - Then consider Arabia, Palestine, Russia and Poland. Oh, the deplora- able plight of Poland! There ‘the Germans have employed starvation as a weapon. The suffering is inex- pressibly md ible. And there, too, there is* quarter from which to expect help save the American Red Cross. ; 2 : Who will refuse to join in Bates County? Strely no one’s heart is so stecled-as not to. be touched py the cry of distress which. comes across the waters to us, while we spend enough on liquor and tobacco and garbage pail,each year to bring hope and health and joy to those who faint in misery. Come to Butler on Saturday, July 9B, 1917, and by your presence lend encouragement’ to. the greatest ‘humanitarian: society” ever organized cated, patriotic men just as anxious to uphold a reputation for decent living and accomplishment as any other body of men in the country. “The United States army today,” he said, “is a democratic army. It is made up of citizens of this country, and they bring to it the character of the various classes to which they be- long. They are no better and no worse than any other body of men. No man need fear that he is lowering himself by enlisting. in it. General Bell said that in-all prob- ability there would not be a third series of training camps for officers. The second, for-which men are now being enrolled, wili provide officers for the second increment of half mil- lion men to be raised by conscription. Should another .increment be raised it will be oficered by men who enlist now and whose abilities, demonstrat- ed jn the ranks and as noncommis- sioned officers, will mark them for promotion. “There will be plenty of room,” he said, “for the men who start’ at the bottom.” He told them that they need have no fear of ill treatment. No officer would think of maltreating an en- listed man in these days, he said, and it would be worth his commis- sion to abuse a man in the ranks. He declared that the same thing ap- plied inethe navy and the marine corps. ‘ ‘The “square deal,” he declared was now the principle which obtained in army life. ‘ General Bell said he believed that no further -tegistration would be necessary. He said that from the 10 million men registered there would be got all the soldiers that would be required, even after generous allow- ance for exemptions. He said no men past 31 and no men not yet 2t. would be conscripted, in all prob- ability, and urged -that now is the time to go in if a man wants to save” his country.
