How the Germans Treat the Red Cross
If any one has had a lingering doubt about
the heroic work of Red Cross nurses and attaches near the battle line, let him read the appended clipping from a dispatch of Philip Gibbs to the New York Herald in which he describes the dastardly bombing of a hospital by German
air raiders. One wonders how men claiming to be civil
ized can perpetrate such outrages and still face
the accusing damnation of their own consciences. The last spark of manhood and decency seems
to have been extinguished in their souls. Men
who can shell a hospital with bombs from the
sky have sold their souls to Satan for a sight of
the carnage they can inflict upon helpless fel low beings. The description of the outrage by Gibbs fol lows:-
It was a Sunday night, and a very dreadful and damnable thing was done by those German airmen who took advantage of the moon. They flew over to a place which they had seen by day many times, so that they might know it. It is one of the British hospital camps. All the huts there are marked out with the sign of the Red Cross.. The Red Cross flag waves above them for any flying man to see. The enemy should be perfectly familiar with the look and purpose of this collection of buildings and the lay of the ground in which they are placed, but in order, so they say, to destroy military works their bombing squadrons followed the
line of the railway and flung their biggest bombs I
over this area with wanton carelessness of what might happen to men already wounded, and sheltered from further harm in the only sanctuary which this war can give them under the Red Cross flag. It was a tragedy of the most frightful kind and by the work of those airmen, whatever their excuse, the German people stored up for themselves one more cause of hate which, after the war, will close them around like a high wall against which the spirit of their race will beat in vain unless there is great mercy in the world. In many of those hospital huts, in nearly all of them, were badly wounded men men with open wounds filtered by running water, men with broken limbs suspended in slings and pulleys, men so hurt that any touch or jar makes them quiver with pain. That night the hospital orderlies who had been tending them all day were mostly in their own sleeping places. Only the night nurses and attendants were in the wards, moving quietly about, keeping watchful eyes on the patients, listening to that sound of breathing which tells them so much about the state of each sufferer, and bending over a bed here or there to. shift a man's pillow or to say a word of comfort to one
who could not sleep. Then suddenly there was
the noise of those German engines, as I heard them once in a hospital, like those before the crashes which followed and broke the windows.
The German flying men dropped a very great number of bombs, and each one burst in the midst of these huts. A third of the bombs were
of the largest size, which made enormous explo
sions and left great craters in the earth. Others were smaller shrapnel bombs, which swept the
wards with bullets. They did murder on a big
scale.
They killed many men who had escaped from
death on the battlefield and from these beds
looked forward to life again. They killed many hospital orderlies who had devoted themselves to the service of their fellow-men, among whom, after each battle, there are German soldiers getting the same treatment as th British and the same kindness. They killed and maimed women whose uniforms should make them sacred in this war. The total of killed and wounded ruins into some hundreds. I am told, and I do not need to be told because I have seen the courage of these women in air raids, that the nurses were heroic and beautiful in their devotion to the wounded. Near by were bomb-proof shelters, but not one of them left her pbst to take cover. Throughout the raid, which lasted in two phases for two hours, they, moved up and down the wards encouraging the patients by their words, attending to the gravest cases, lingering by the bedside of men whose nerves were agitated by this tumult and menace of death, and not showing any faintness of heart, however great their secret terror of this dreadful thing above them. There were brave hearts there in thos hospitals, but no courage can cure the cruelty of this scene of blood and agony which is a part of the devilish drama of war.
Watch Your Mind
w
From Physical Culture.'
HILE you are endeavoring to maintain health of
a high degree, remember that mental influence Is a tremendous force.
The mind can build you up or tear you down.
Compel yourself to be hopeful and cheerful. Seek tbose influences that add to life's joys. And since mental satisfaction of this sort is usually obtained through efforts in some line of human endeavor that is pleasing to you, learn to love your work. Seek an occupation that arouses your enthusiasm, for then your efforts are pleasurable. They add to the Joys of life. Make every possible effort to avoid the "glooms." Fight every inclination calculated to lead you in that direction. Life in its best sense comes only to those who love its manifestations. You must love life to live it in its best sense. A long youthful life comes only to those who have learned to appreciate its gifts. There is much in life that makes one feel hopeless and helpless but we should realize the dangers' of yielding to such influences. They are devitalizing destructive. They mar your mental life and lessen your physical force. Fight with every atom of your energy to avoid d'pressing environments and, If you find yourself enmeshed therin, take advantage of any and every opportunity to get away from them or to neutralize their destructive influence. Make your life useful. Fill it with wholesome joys. Be charitable. Be tolerant. Be thankful. And fight courageously for the efficiency required to get the most out of life.
may be, let us cot be satisfied with merely going "over the top." Let us "go over the top of the top."

By HAL POD One night recently several German airmen bombed and destroyed several hospitals behind the British lines, killing hundreds of persons Red Cross nurses, sisters of charity and wounded men. There is no language sufficient to characterize such a terrible crime as this. It is simply another frightful manifestation of what they call "kultur" over in Germany. One of the Huns who was captured said he did not see the Red Cross sign flying above the hospitals. This is indeed fortunate, for if the Germans had known they were attacking hospitals they would have been more careful than ever to seo that their bombs dropped accurately. The Huns have always regarded the Red Cross emblem as a target rather than a sacred eigna of mercy to be protected. It soems that the only course open to us Is to wipe the German empire and its vile "kultur" off of the map for all time to come. Over in Finland the Germans have named a bridge which they captured affr the crown prince. That's a mighty good idea. We walk over bridges. A farmer boy dropped Into Karl Piatt's barber shop Saturday, and as his hair was long and flowing Pensy suggested that he get a haircut. "No, indeed," the farmer boy emphatically replied, and seriously sq Pensy says. "I want to be a great man and I can't do it unless I let my hair grow." After taking a glance at a few of our local high lights I agree with the farmer boy. Something in this Samson stuff after all. In the course of a recent speech Frank Strayer called for water, telling his audienco that he was not feelins very well. "I feel rather sick," said Frank, "and I need a glass of water." How about those out In the audience, Frank? ,
A fellow came into the clerk's office Saturday afternoon and asked Mike Kelly where the "Circus" court might be. When- the Kaiser recites the twentythird psalm, he says, "The Lord Is my own particular German Shepherd. He leadeth me to lie down in the green fields of France and Belgium, etc.. etc." A headline says that a "Fighter Heads the Sinn Fein." If he's Irish that stands to reason. It's never too late to start a war garden. Every weed patch in the city is pro-German. Many a Richmond boy feels rather cocky in his khaki. Richmond is certainly patriotic. I heard an audience sing three whole verses of "The Star Spangled Banner," and everybody seemed to know the words. It is not advisable for people unused to the strenuous life to try to go out In the country and help the farmers. City life is wont to soften a man's muscles. After about three or four days of labor in the argiculture fields the soft city man would have more use for a hospital than anything else. It has just come to light that Maryville. Mo., had about as fine a system for selling Liberty bonds as any town, village or city in the country. A list was published in a Maryville paper, containing the names of all men who did not buy Liberty bonds, or who had refused men who were really able to afford them. The day after this list was published a number of Maryville slackers woke up in the morning and found that their homes or places of business had been plastered with yellow paint. No wonder Maryville went "over the top." And In the next drive, whatever It
