THE
THE RED CROSS SPIRIT SPEAKS
By JOHN H. FINLEY.
I kneel behind the soldiers’ trench
I walk with shambles’ smear and stench
The dead I mourn.
I bear the stretcher and I bend
O’er Sammy, Pierre and Jack and mend
What shells have torn.

1 am your pennies and your pounds;
1 am your bodies on their rounds
Of pain afar;
I am you, doing what you would
If you were only where you could—
Your avatar.
The cross which on my arm I wear,
The flag which o’er my breast I bear,
Is but the sign
Of what you’d sacrifice for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war’s red line.
THE EMBLEM OF HUMAN MERCY
By SAMUEL GOMPERS
The Red Cross is an emblem typifying human
mercy and sympathy. Its mission to relieve phys
ical pain and minister to mind and
body has given it a place deep in the
hearts of all our people. For those
whose dear ones are in places of
great danger it is a comfort to know
that the American Red Cross is per
forming more effective service on a
larger scale than ever before.
In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is
assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies
whose soil is being devastated by the fighting.
Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the
constructive spirit of our Republic which holds
sacred human life and the ideals it seeks. -
As time goes on the scope of the work of the
Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the
organization may meet the demands that will be
made upon it. It must receive the full and hearty
support of the American people. It is only through
such an agency that we can be assured relief and
necessary ministration to our young men forming
our military force.
It is my sincere desire that adequate funds
will be secured for the work of the Red Cross.

stars and stripes were origi-
nated in 1777.
Congress resolved that “the
flag of the United States bear 13
stripes, alternate red and white,
and that the union be 13 white
stars on a blue field.” In 1794
the number of stripes and stars
was increased to 15 to include the
two states of Vermont and Ken
tucky.
After several new states had
thus been admitted it was seen
that this plan of increasing the
stripes with the addition of new
states would in time cause the
national emblem to appear cum
brous and unlovely. So in April,
1818 100 years ago—congress
restored the 13 stripes to repre
