WAi AS' A H.UN 'BUSINESS,
Among other humorous twists of
tho "efficient" German mind was the
belief that the war for which prepa
rations had be.cn made for decodes
could be carried on at a. "profit." '
"Six weeks to Paris and a billion
dollurs indemnity," said the Kaiser,
"and halt tho north of. Trance an
nexed." . . ;
- "Then not moro than three mouths
to St i'ctorshurg (as it was . then)
and noteless than three billion dollurs
Indemnity, with most of Southwestern
'ituusia lidded to our soil!" ': v; ' j

pected a' roturn for Germany of at
least 1000 per cent.- On June, IMS,
they rubbed their hands delightedly
over equally bright prospects.
Now, such is tho fickleness of fate,
they are talking with infantile ser
iousness of victory "at par."
What Germany will get is becoming
more cleur every duy. '
When the full lido of America's wr
strength: sot toward Franco early Inst

Tho jreiich have now furred the

Tho allies, with tho Americans now
in France, might be able to givo the
Germans the absuluto defeat Unit will
bo inflicted upon them before their
pence "yelps" are taken seriously.
They will nut be called upon for
such severe efforts, since America
continues to pour a hundred thuuuud
or moro troops monthly into French
debarkation ports. - .
ON L Y A SCUAP OF PAI'Kli.
Englishmen can hurry with a skill
and efficiency hnt takes even an
Americans breath' away, says June1
Itichardson Lucas. When it comes to
their fighting men they break all
speed records. Thousnnds of men have
, died in the niuel of Flanders thou
sands havo been wounded und scut
heme but thousunds have had to lie
in those "Halls of Glory," the base
hospitals bchinel tho lines; and suffer
beyond the conception of any man
before the tielc turns back towards
life, or slips out in the gray dawn of
Flanders, never to fluw back. And
the British fight to suve those suffer
ing men just as stubbornly ns they
fight to beat the enemy heyond tho
heavy cannonaeling s few kilometer
away. As these men suffer and fight
for lifaln, the, Jour white wareb, the?

THE TltAINEl) VOICE.
It is admirable, it is more than
thut it is joyful, to know the best
trained voices in the world are being
given to war work. " In "ft recent issue

giving all of their lime to entertaining
tbe soldiers pr , singing fur;war. wrk
in some quarter of tho globe.
President Wilson, realizing tbe
power of song upon people, has 'asked
that every community have a chorus
uiid ho,, has naked . that the .trained
vpicos enter thnt'ehprus. He knows
what it means for a good, truined
soprano or a contfulto voice to lend
a hum 1ml or n thousand voices in

WHAT WAR RELIEF MEANS.
; ;. ... ...
The greatness of the Red Cross re
lief work. throughout the many fields
of its activity is difficult of portrayal.
Its very greatness- makes it hard to
grasp. Impressing, to say the least,
will be the statement which follows,
showing some of tho principal items in
the list of supplies the American Red
Cross has sent to its commissions in
foreign countries In tho recent past.
It has shipped tho following for in
valid jltnlian and Serbian prisoners of.
war, jand for tho Swiss hospital for
tubercular Serbians: ' :j (' . ,. .. .
2r!!j cases of condensed milk, ,
810 cases of jam )ii ii i1 i
2-,i0O pounds of roast beef,
9&000 pounds of flour,!.. ;.
,40j(l00. pounds of canned meat, ;
3S00Q .pounds-of ,RUgar, if
' 2S;000 pounds of rice), : .:.
. ' CftOOO pounels pf corfea,
' 00,000 pounds of beans.. ,-, ii;
"During the past two months the Red
Cross has shipped 4300 tons of food
sWs'ssnB''1iiic' items vere tlie following;
100,500 cases of evaporated milk,
280,000 poumls'ofr'outmetf 1 M' ".
00,000 pounds of toilet soap, ;,
4,000 cases of laundry soap, '
251,000 pounds of rice,
102,000 pounds of chocolate and co
coa, -400,000
pounds of egg powder.
During the past four months the
Red Cross hus distributed 03,000,000
yards of gauze, made up into bandages
nnd surgical dressing, between Eng
land, Fiance, and Italy. During a s:m
ilar period of time it has spent $500,-
OQ0 for surgical instruments, .etc.,' for
elisioliuHonJiri' tJiese three Countries,
ns follows:
Surgivul instruments ...U...$io0,000
Hospital furniture.-.?- 125,000
Disinfectors 140,000
Dental instruments 60,000
r Ji-Ray equipment- 15,000
i 'Jlisc. hospital equipment .... 70,000
J'erhaps the above figures will add
ti tho fullness of view of those who
would measure the extent of Red
Cross relief along with its meaning.
Tho statement presented, it should
be remembered, shows only shipments
