Throughout the history of the Red Gross, and particularly in the last conflict, woman has playrd a most useful part, and It is not strange accordingly that in its very Infancy she figured prominently.

"Who will bind np their wounds? Who will speak the name of the Saviour to them? Will there be no cup of water from our country?

The expedition consisted of four men fully equipped and fired by the spirit of neutrality that knows no nationality on the battlefield, the true Bed Cross spirit, "Inter Arma. Caritas." In addition to establishing a Bed Cross ambulance In the church here pictured, these Samaritans spent several month traveling through Italy, helping h"al the crippled, distributing comforts and speaking everywhere words of consolation and cheer. Such zeal at that time naturally fell under strong suspicion, and "they were often looked upon as spies, a circumstance adding one more grave hardship to their lot.

Billy Kline, her diving partner, will also leap from the ladder at the same instant and the doublle dive will be the first time any two persons have ever performed a similar act. There will be no parade today but the Moose Mardl Gras parade and the circus will combine to make one big parade along Main street at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening.
