THE THREE CROSSES
The iron cress is black as death and
hard as human hate;
The wooden cross is white and still
and whispers us, "Too Late. ’
But the Red Cross sings of life and
love and hearts regenerate.
The iron cross is a boastful cross and
marks the war-mad slave;
The wooden cross is a dumb, dead
cross and marks a shallow grave.
But the Red Cross reaches out its
arms to solace and to save.
The iron cross is a kaiser's cross and
narrow is its clan;
The wcoden cross is a soldier's cress
and mourns its partisan.
But the Red Cross is the Cress of One
who served his fellcwman.

5. America Has Set the Pace in a
World Red Cross Movement.
The League of Red Cross Societies
of all nations has been formed through
the inspiration of the Red Cross
achievement of the United States.
This League has no executive power
whatever over the Red Cross of any
nation, but will extend into ever}- na
tion the benefits of a national, volun
tary Red Cross society on the Ameri
can model, to deal with problems of
health and child welfare and to ccpe
with the relief problems that are so
pressing over so great a part of the
earth's surface. Through these organ-
izations many nations will meet their
own problems which would otherwise
be appealing to America for relief and
assistance. The United States, whose
people have shown the world how thus
to rise out of despair into hope, must
keep the Red Cross banner floating
high. The success or failure of this
great world movement of practical
idealism will depend largely upon the
manner in which the American people
answer the THIRD RED CROSS
ROLL CALL.
The Red Cross button Is the most
widely worn button in the world.
Thirty million men and women and
children in the United States now
wear this emblem of countless good
deeds accomplished. For the third
year in America comes universal op-
portunity to wear it
There are many instances of how
this button, bearing upon a white
background a tiny cross, has been
worn and treasured. One morning in
a distant northwest county, a man
whose ruddy, optimistic countenance
was clothed with ruddy beard, asked
the Red Cross chairman if he had an
other button like the one he wore.
The chairman gave him his own. "I
have twelve children,” explained the
man. "I gave my button to the
twelfth, a new arrival, this jnorning.
When I have anything good the whole
family must come in on it.”
