A special program has been arranged and refreshments will bo , served. Evcryono 13 Invited to attend. tie Red Cross tuberculosis seals made their" annual appearance. ( , Perhaps, In fact, It was the long, ar dent light In America against the White Plague which, in spite of the war's enormous new demands, Is responsible Cor the especial Intcrest'belng taken by the American Red Cross In France's frightful struggle against consumption. This - scourge seems to mark the trench tighter for its own. It kills more men than do bullets and poison gns combined. Until" the 'American lied Cross was permitted by the French government to start Its drive airuiust tuberculosis It looked as If, even with a victory over the Hun, 1 many France might eventually be conquered by this deadlier foe. Already things are looking brighter. The Rcfl Cross has taken over old hos pitals and built new ones, lloro than 3(10 tuberculosis dispensaries are to bo opened throughout the country, and Red Cross doctors and nurses scores of them are devoting themselves ex clusively to this light, doing over there exactly the same kind of work which Is financed In America by the Utile Christmas seals. It Is one of the ways m which hv our contribution.', lo she Red Cross America can repy ber debt "was ( honor -bound to defend to France.

WE FIGHT FOR GOOD FAITH "Tho faith i. of treaties Is Ihe only solid foundation on winch a Temple of peace can be built up."- ' (James hryco.) Good faith between nations, as lift ween men. Is the ono and only safeguard from a return to barburlsm. Without It brute force, sifter might, must rule. Without it there Is no security in human relations no se curity, even, for llfo itself. To keep one's vord, when once given, that Is the evidence of the progress of civ ilization, and tho test of it. Hence the case of Belgium becomes the single greatest German offense against civilization in this war. . At first, in our American ignorance ol world conditions, we did not see this. We do see It now more and more we realize that until the crlino against Belgium Is atoned for; there can be no pence, and no hope of n world at peace. ' . ' - What the the facts? By treaties signed in 1815, and again In 1831, and still again In 1839, this last revision being in offect in 1914, it was agreed "Belgium shall ' form' a 'perpetually' neutral state. Tho Ave powers guar antee to It this perpetual neutrality, as also tho invlolnblllty of Its ter ritory." These five powers were Aus tria, , France, Groat Britain, " Russia, and Prussia, By Btich treaties the neutral stale was pledgod to defend In arms the . neutrality of its terri tory; and each of the great powers pledged Itself not only not to march -troops Into or through the neutral state, but also to aid her, In case her territory., were violated. The world,' thinking no nation t-aso as to break Its word, was com pletely taken by surprise by the at tack on Belgium. But we know now, from German statements, that German military plans had for years intended to break thiB pledge. German rulers lied as to this consistently, and lied to the tost day. On tho -morning before the German troops advanced the German mliilster assured Belgium she need' feel no, alarm, and In the evening of that Same day he delivered his ultimatum. : -t V.: Tho world has never seen so com plete a denial of the -binding effect of the pledged word. Why has Ger- lost sight of the principle of honor among nations? .Her own answer reveals the cause; it is again tho plea of mtsjlif. "The fate that Bel glum has called down upon harsell (note the hypocrisy of this) Is hard, but not too hard, . . .' for the destinies of the immortal great na tions stand bo high that they can not but have the right, In case ol need, to . stride over, exigencies-that can not defend themselves."
