A postal order for $3, and the request that it be turned over to the Red Cross was contained in the mail of the postmaster Fri- day morning. The money was sent by David N.

HE IS YOUR BOY! He may be of no blood relation. You may never have even heard his name. Still he is your boy. By law, you took this boy from his college, or from his first successes in business, or from his young wife or the arms of his mother, and placed him on this_ shot-torn foreign field to fight, to die, if necessary, for you. You have said to him that he shall give up home and loved ones; that he shall travel thousands of miles thru death-infested seas; that he shall risk bayonet, bomb, poi- son gas and machine gun bullet and great guns’ shell; that his blood and life are yours; so that you and your children may be free and happy. He is your boy, and it is not the murderous: Hun but you who leave him lying there, gasping, bleeding slowly to death, struggling for his life, appealing for your aid. And while the life blood ekes out, while the chances of gangrene, with mutilation, perhaps total blindness, in- crease, HIS HOPE LIES IN YOU. YOU cannot succor your boy; the Red Cross can.
