FALLING AMONG DECENT MEN
The German sailors who were res
cued when the V. S. Destroyers Fan
ning and Nicholson sank their U-hoat
. must have had the surprise of their
lives. V.hen they poured out of tile
sinking submarine like rats, they could
have hardly expected any other fate
than drowning.
- ' It was doubtless their own custom.
if they had been long engaged in the
German naval service, to let crews
drown when they sank ships even
noncomhatant crews, whose lives b
the civilized sea cede are sacred. It
-would surely not have surprised there.
if the American destroyers had train
ed guns on them as they struggled,
in the water, and sent them under
with puffs of shrapnel. That is pre
cisely what the ' L'-boats have done
over and over again to the struggling
crews and passengers of torpedoed
ships.
But there were no pot shots at the
drowning German assassins. There
were no jeering faces peering over
the rail of the victorious warships to
giuai gtcr mtif uuj. ihiicau, wic
Yankee sailors jumped into the sea
and saved the Germans at the risk ot
their own lives. They took them
- aboard and gave thm warm, dry
clothing, sandwiches and hot coffee.
'Most of the Germans were exhaust
ed when brought aboard. But in an
hour or two they were singing.
What were they singing? Could it
lave been. "DeutachlasukUeiicr A I Us"
or tome. ."Hymn -ai aiaie.T f The
ucial accounts do not tell. But ths
chances are that it wasn't anything
Junkerish or bloodthirsty. We hope,
at any rate, that it was some kindly,
human song, in recognition of the
fact that the sea-assassins had found
themselves precipitated among decent
human beings, and by the contagion
of decency and honor had .had -their
own manhood restored. If so, thein
was the gain. The whole German
navy could well afford to be ship
wrecked and half-drowned and taken
by the enemy for the sake of such
an awakening.
EVERYBODY BELONGS
It is doubtful whether any organ
ization in the history of the world
was ever able to boat to great a
membership as the American Red
Cross since its recent cam;nitfn. Six
teen, million new names were added
to its rolls, making a total of 20,0 0,
000. That total, if we accept the usual
estimate of five persons to a family,
meant as many Red Cross members
as there are families in the United
States. In many cases two or more
' persons were enrolled from the saint
family. These cases, however, are
the exception rather than the rule.
The big majority of "joiners" have
been one to a family. It is almost
literally true, thrrcf'e, that the
'American people, the whole lOn.OUO,-
WIO of us, have joined the Red Cross
in a body, by family representation.
Thit furnishes the finest proof yet
given of our national unanimity with
respect to the war. It justifies the
remark of Henry P. Davidson, chair
man of the national war council, that
"the Red iCrosj is itlie Mobilized
heart and spirit of the whole Ameri
can people."
There it a peculiar fitness in our
belonging to it, because it to well
represents in its activity what we
as a nation are, broadly speaking.
Irying to do in the war at a whole.
The Red Crost work is humanitarian.
Our war is likewise humanitarian,
meant for tfir "healing of the na
tions" as the Red Cross help is meant
for the healing of those hurt in the
struggle..

kmvc an accurate report of it. tells a
humiliating story of the things sent
by Americanos gilts to the Belgians:
The first box she opened was in
a section which covered the entire
end of the relief station .hut. This
section was devou-u to "useless gilts."
it contained a pair of soiled white
satin slippers, a pair of pink satin
corsets, much worn, and old crepe
le chine underwear.
A dozen boxes of shoes from a
New York firm also graced the huL
They contained long, narrow, pointed
toed, cloth topped, " patent leather
shoes. Says the writer, "These were
tor women who had stood to their
knees in freezing water, or had to
step into their cellar homes over
chunks of mortar, broken glass and
rusty iron pieces. '
The writer adds that it is only fail
to say that these things were the
exceptions to the usual rule of sen
sible generosity, but the exceptions
occurred in numbert worth w-riting
about.
Why will people not use imagina
tion if they have any? Surely there
cannot be one woman left in the
country who has not heard enough
