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?

The Lonj Arm of Mercy
By DR. FRANK CRANE
The Red Cross is the Long Arm ol Mercy.
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. . ' I f
