TC A RED CROSS NURSE.
I was never strong for fighting,
It didn’t appeal to me; '
So when 1 wasn't drafted L
I gaid “U'm glad I'm tree”
But since I saw your picture
In the paper yesterday,
I've changed my mind '(:umph'luly,
I want to join the fray
If you were by my bedside,
Getting shot wouldn't he s 0 worse—
If T up and join the army,
Will vou he my Red Cross nurse.”

ONE YEAR AGO
Just one year, says the Southern
Woman's Magazine, and the face of
the world is changed for us.
A little more than a year ago, and
our land smiled in the joy of its own
loveliness. If, now and then, there
were tears that dimmed the sunshine
of its skies, they were but tears of
sympathy for sorrows half a world
away, not drops of anguish for our
own heartache.
Then came the time, a little later,
whent we saw with eager vision, an
army of young crusaders going forth
to fight for human bretherhcod and
human right.
We saw our young land join its
fresh forces with the oider peoples
of our ferebhearg over the seas. We saw
a nation with peace in its heart, gun
ouli to war. We saw our yeury coun
try, making nothing of wisdéom or rea
son, take up the sword, and that, not
for land or gain, revenge or privilege,
but for man's right to life and happi
ness under God's just rule.
We saw our great army marching
as the Spirit of America. Our hearts
burned deep at human wrong, our
souls rose high to battle for the helpl
less and the weak. It was a wonderful
vision of bravery and sacrifice, far
off and vcx"_v splendid.
‘A year has passed and the ecstacy
of righteous warfare, the fervor of a
holy stand for justice and for peace
still lifts the high souls of us, but the
army that ig making the fight is ne
longer an impersonal host of glorified
youth. It has grown into a great march
ing, singing company of simple, earin
est boys. It has become human, inti
mate, and inexpressibly dear. My
friends are in it, and yours; my hro
ther and yours; my sweetheart 'and
yours; my husband and yours;, my
éon and yours. The army is not ag we
dreamed it. These young crusaders
are our own boys, flesh of flesh and
heart of heart, our own. Qur pride is
a torture, our ecstasy an anguish, our
gacrifice a consuming fire.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE WAITED
. ON MERCHANT AND GOT FUNDS
ABBEVILLE, Ga., May 2b.—Today
at noon a ‘“vigilance committee,”, com
posed of the Mayor, S. . Reid, and
most of the citizens of Abbeville and
surrounding terrifory, made an im
promtu call en Tom Ramsey, a well
to-do merchant of this place, and in
polite terms mnotified him that within
ten minutes he must do one of three
things—buy $400.00 worth of Liberty
Bonds and give $25.00 to the Red
Cross; or leave town; or wear a large
metal “Slacker” hadge which they ex
hibited to him. He wanted to argue
the proposition, but the “committee”
informed him they had come for busi
ness and not argument, and the time
keeper began to count the minutes.
Before the ten minutes had expired |
Ramsey had written his check for the
Liberty Bonds and for his contribu
tion to the Red (Trosé.
It is alleged that Ramsey and his
causes but hadloeica ..har.. ..h6...
wife had not only failed to help these
causes, but had ridiculed the work
of others, and of the Wilson Adminis
tration. After he had made his con
tribution, he was warned to cease his
criticisms, and to be more prompt it"
another call should be made. The
“committee’ then withdrew quietly!
and orderly. In the mean time, Grady
Smith, another merchant and alleged
financial “slacker” sent a substantial
contribution to the Red Cross by a‘
special “in haste” ‘messenger. A
