They were voluminous, patriotic and militant, for in all that time no enemy had crossed the Rhine. The Fatherland had been safe for 140 years and the river had been the bulwark of security and prosperity and the power of their empire. “The Rhine, the Rhine, the German Rhine, Who Guards today my Rhine divine?’’ Who does guard the great stream, much like our own Columbia? Only a broken soldiery and voices saddened by the break through, and those that know there is more to come. Had Germany, in ordinary parlance, behaved herself the river of its song would not have been crossed. The whole world knows that the causes that have forced us to cross into the heart of their empire are great and just. We would not have over two million men over there, and be taking the losses of our finest young men except that it had to be so. The watch on the Rhine fades into a sad dirge of a great people because of their own suicidal mistakes. It will resemble the Tiber, where once another great empire rose and fell, because of Ro man greed and desire of greater empire. On the Rhine was the great cultural city of Cologne, the Harvard city of Bonn where Beethoven was born and Goethe wrote his matchless poetry, and science thrived. On the Tiber likewise, law, poetry like Vir gil, and Horace’s odes, sculpture and architecture rose to the highest degree. The Rhineland like the Roman region, because of excesses of power, may be set back many centuries in civilization. The Red Cross, the American Red Cross, and now we san say of our institution, the International Red Cross, has only one purpose : the care of the wound- ed and suffering brought on by a great war, and suf fering brought on through national calamities and emergencies. It is the Florence Nightingale of our modern times and no better spirit of humanity can be better supported than by liberal donations to the institution. Let no man or woman refuse to do his or her part. First National Spring has peeked around the corner and it is time to plant, and clean up. This is a big order, but it must be filled.
