D. GROAT (United P. Staff Correspondent.) (Copyright, 1918, by United Press.) WASHINGTON, July 26.— The 4 great war, closing its fourth bloody | year, finds America rushing across the seas with her missions of men, billions of dollars and her ever in- | creasing flotillas of war vessels—to thrash the kaiser. The advent of a new year in the war sees America’s inilitary forces rapidly approaching the size of Eng- lands, and destéined soon to equal those of France. With an army strength of nearly 3,000,000 men today; a navy of nearly half a million, and with hun- dreds of ships, tons upon tons of munitions and a vast food reserve for the Allies, this nation’s effort) has amazed the Allied world and has| startled the German war lords, When she entered the war Amer- ica had only 213,000 officers and men, including the national guard units trained on the Texas border. We now have over half that many officers alone. Latest official fig- ures show the army strength to be: Officers, 160,000; men, 2,010,600. Nearly 1,000,000 men are in training 5 | ‘ We have talked it over at our house. Talked it over as we have never talked {t over before. We did not want Eyes O'Blue to know about it, nor did we want to lay any paft of the world’s heavy burden upon the heart of Tousis- head. We have taught them that the world is a good and a beautiful place, but last might, gathered beneath the light in the humble little parlor at our house, we talked it over between us. Eyes O’Blue and Touslehead were told that, while the world is good, it is not all good; that there are men who have started out to enslave the world and who in the furtherance of that ambi- tion haye done awful things. Gradually as the tale was told they drew nearer until we sat with our arms about them. We told them of hands hacked from baby wrists, of death rained from the sky upon help- less little ones, of murder rising from the sea’s green deeps to feed upon helpless mothers and babies. And then we told them how these splendid soldier boys we see every day are going to the far front to fight and, if need be, die to keep this hor- ror from our land. We told them of burns and wounds and suffering. When John Madison sailed for France there were no indications that his family would suffer in a pecuniary way while he served his country. John's father was earning good wages. John’s younger brother, Henry, a driver, was nelping out the family budget. Then John’s father was stricken with pneumonia. His earning power stop- ped. Henry met with an accident, If John had stayed home he could hove arried his mother and ‘little sisters ‘through the crisis, But John was with Pershing overseas, Must his family suffer destitution? The Madison family's dilemma was reported to the Red Cross and prompt- ly placed ih the hands of Home Serv- ice, As a result the best medical at- tention was secured for John's father and brother. Immediate funds were placed tn the mother’s hands to pro- vide for the household as before the family income stopped.

We told them of the great need of money with which to carry +n the work of mercy, .

This morning I went to the bank and withdrew their savings, $63.29, and they are te be put to work—to a bet- ter work than they have Leen doing. At our house for the duration of the war we expect co “keep the’ days,” we expect to wear cobbled slocs and patched clothing, and if we ever hesi- tate in our sacrifice I shall see the faces of Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead as, with tears on their cheeks, they smiled at the thought of the help they JOHN MADISON’S FAMILY might be to the Red Cross.

The whole aim and object of Home Service is to protect the welfare of the soldier's family while he is away and to maintain as far as possible the same standards of home life that pre- vailed while he was at home, More than this, when the standard of living is low it is the duty and the opportu- hity of Home Service to raise’ the standard, Think of what it means to John Madison and his legions of comrades in khaki and in blue to realize that to their absence their loved ones will be safeguarded as carefully and as con- stantly as they themselves would have done.

Of the eighty odd thousand register- ed trained nurses in the Ynited States about 20,000 have enrolled as Red Cross nurses, volunteering their serv- ices at the front, in cantonments and hospitals or in any other needed ca- pacities. This enrollment is the nurs- ing reserve of the United States Artny Nurse Corps and the United.
