CONSCRIPTING-LOAFERS ' Anybody who Imagines that the antl-loaflng legislation enacted by aome of the states appllea only to hoboes, village Idlers and others of humble rank will be disillusioned by a Baltimore Instance. In Maryland, at least, the loafer is held to be a loafer regardless of his social sta tus. A young Baltimore man described as "well known in the social circles" of that aristocratic city has been fined $50 for failure to keep busy at some sort of "useful and lawful work." His offense was aggravated by the fact that lie had left a job provided for him by the state board which administers the compulsory work law. The court was unmoved by his plea that the Job was "too hard." The prospect Is certainly dismal for work-shirkers in general. Other states may soon be following the ex ample of Maryland, West Virginia and New Jersey. And though the law Is designed primarily as a war measure, there is no assurance that any community, once having tasted the satisfaction of driving Its drones to work, will let them quit their Jobs when peace comes." We may have permanent conscription . of loafers. ; OUR f MILITARY TITLES A certain German laundress can not understand. "Everybody ' hates the military party In Germany," she says, "yet, seems like all the young men here are in a hurry to get army title like the old country." ' Titles, yes, but with t. difference, Pauline! Your "old country" titled military has driven your common people , to submission and submer sion. How could you understand the unselfish desire of free citizens for ' places of leadership and honor In free armies,' with the sole purpose of making sure that government of the people, for the people, by thij people shall not, perish from the earth?

It is the Kindness of Mankind organized. In Man is an Angel and a Devil, a Dr.. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The Red Cross is the Good, aroused, energized to thwart the Bad. It is the best antidote we know to the bane of war There are other Charities, more or less helpful The Red Cross is the mightiest of all Charities, the Love and Pity of all men made supremely efficient. If, as Emerson said, "sensible men and conscientious men all over the world are of one religion," this is the ex pression of that religion. The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service. It asks no man's opinion; only his need. .. Black or White, Friend or Foe, to the Red Cross there b no difference; it only asks: "Who is Suffering?" And to him it goes. . The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recog nize it; so Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well his fellow men. desires to help it; so Clean in its administration ! that the most suspicious can find no fault in it. d The Red Cross not only seeks to alleviate the cruelties j of War; it is the expression of those human sentiments that ! some day will put an end to War. It is the impulse of Love, striving to overcome the im- j pulse of Hate. . I It is Mercy's co-operation struggling against War's ri valries. ' It is the one Society in which every Man, Woman and ! Child should be enrolled, tor it knows no sects, no preju dices, no protesting opinion; the human being does not live that does not feel that the starving should be fed, the sick tended and the wounded healed. Majestic and divine is this Long Arm of Mercy; it finds the fallen on' the battlefield, it brings the nurse and the phvsician to the victim in the hospital; it leads the weeping orphan to a home; it feeds the starving, cares for the pest smitten whom all others abandon, and pours the oil of Help and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World. , ' Where a volcano has wrought desolation in Japan, or a Flood in China, or a Hurricane in Cuba, or a Famine in India, or a Plague in Italy, or ravaging Armies in Poland, Servia or Belgium,' there flies the Red Cross, the Angel of God whom the fury of men cannot banish from the Earth; and to the Ends of the Earth, over all the ways of the Seven Seas, wherever is Human Misery, there is extended, to bles( and to heal, its Long Arm of Mercy. .
