RED CROSS WORK
By Amelia Josephine Burr
(Of the Vigilantes)
interminable folds of gauze
For those whom we shall never see.
Remember, when your fingers pause
That every drop of blood to stain
This whiteness, fails for you and me
Part or the price that keeps us free
To serve our own, that keeps us
clean
For sname that other women know.
O, saviour we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are so Blow!
God — if that blood should cry iu
vain,
And we have let our moment go!
TO THE RED CROSS
You say you dou't believe in war,
You think it wrong to fight;
Thousands tho't like you my friend,
The>'re at the front tonight!
They, too, tho't it was savage
To snoot and stab and kill,
But when our country called them
Tttey cnly knejv. her will!
Over there on the battlefield
Facing the Belchiug guns!
They'll fight and die for Uncle
8am—
Our stalwart soldier song!
No matter what we may
Or may not think is right,
Remember the boys at the front
Are fighting far us tonight!
ooine of them will suffer
\ud some of them will die!
So aid the noble Red Cross
And help it to STAND BY!
That skillful hands and tender
May soothe our woundeds' pain;
Nurse them back to Uealtli and
st rength A
And send them home again!
Bending o'er the dying
A whit® robed figure stands,
The mesage breathed for Mother
Saved from the sinking gauds!
Again I say, no matter
If you be pacifist,
Tne fact remaina WE ARE AT WAR
And each one must assit!
Our U.ncle Sam will surely win,
So let's protect our own,
Aa"' win the right to welcome them
Whea our boys come marching
home! 1 !
—Anaabelle D. MacConnel.

It's part of one of the many let

Nineteenth street, Bakersfield, Cal.,

170 pounds, is dark, and has a scar
just under the dege of his hair;
about 31 years old." Can anyone
