Ills view of the up- ; i jieal for funds which the American I Red Cross society is making to the I I people of l lie I'ui ted States. i "For the ui.ud work which all the : Billed R' d Cross societies biive done ' on the l.attlelieidsj on every front," 1 Lord Nortln'liilV said. "I have the i warmest admiration. I have seen tiuir ' ambulances anil their hospitals In Jlio French and Italian war zones. I huve : been under lire with them. The cour ukv and devotion shown by their stretcher-bearer, drivers, doctors, nurses and orderlies cannot be loo highly praised. In Franco I came j across American ambulances working , with a steady disregard of danger and saving great numbers of lives. When j the American armies take the Held, they will need a huge Ited Cross or-1 gnriizutlon. It Is up to the American j people to see that they get It Much Money Needed. J "Red Cross work costs a great deal i of money, Hospitals are costly to I equip. Motor ambulances must be provided In largo numbers, and must constantly be renewed. The bills for surgical Instruments, drags, and dress- the dark on their stretchers, the pass age ways dug out of the clnylsh earth being Just the width of a stretcher handle and uo more. We trod gently I from stretcher bundle to stretcher lime i die over the silent men, some of them asleep with the blessed morphia in their brains, other cheerily smiling, j others staring as wounded men do. All ! who could move n hand hud u (Iga- rette, now udmitted to be the tlrst need of all but the very dangerously wounded. "Passing on, and using our electric torch as little as possible, so as not to disturb the sleepers, we came to the main droning room. Remember j It was all underground, all dark, arid j that the oncoming wall of npprouch j lag shells, with Immediate subsequent ' explosions, was continuous. "In this main dressing room the doctors, all young men, were washing and bandaging. I counted twenty-four patients in that small chamber. We crept onward and came to another room w here there were nine cases, and again to a smaller one where lay the more dangerously wounded. Touching Sight. "These dressing rooms were protect ed by some four or live feet of earth above them. There was a small olll cers' mess and a medical storeroom, which were merely shielded by cor rugated iron from shrapnel splinters, a kitchen, an nftiec, and that was about all. An operation for tracheotomy was taking place Jn one of the rooms. "In all my many experiences abroad I have never seen a more touching sight than this little underground gath ering of some twenty men, devoted doctors and assistants, waiting amidst the incessant shelling until the over crowded maze could he evacuated. Let those who take their ease on a Sun I day afternoon, or any other afternoon, I realize that this same scene never j ceases. Let fliose who consider that i they are amply doing 'h"ir by 1 keeping things going at hot"", be gi-rt"-ful that their 'bit' H !' as that of .' these young men. We ir.iiih! all of us share the danger, but we t un every j one of us admit the inequalities of our j respective war work, and let them j lose no opportunity of lightening the I hard 'bit' of those at the front as far j as lies in their power, sdvocute.'Alleln-Iierrschaft, 'sole lord fhlp.' The drenm was that the Ger mans under Prussian guidance should treat the whole world ns they treated French Alsace-Lorraine ; ns they treat ed Danish Schleswlg Holstcin, us thej treated Polish Posen. The German Doctrine. "Germany, under Prussian guidance, has challenged the right of men and . women to live as they choose to live, their right to freedom to develop Id their own way, their right to pursue happiness according to their own Ideas. 'Be German or we will crush you,' the Prussians said to the people of the conquered territories which I have mentioned. That is what they would say to the people of the United States if they could. They did their best to Germanize the United States during peace. If they were to he vic torious In Europe, they would soon be attempting to accomplish this by mak ing war. "American soldiers are being sent to Europe to prevent the Invasion of the United States. They will fight the Germans in France In order to ovoid having to fight them ut Boston or Chi cago or in California. By subscribing to the Red Cross fund you can help to safeguard your home and your right to live as you wish to live. These can not be safe while the Prussian threat of world domination throws a dark shadow across the sun of liberty. Give i all you can afford, in your own inter- j est, us veil ns to mitigate the suffer- ing of your brave soldiers. The help , of everyone Is needed if the peril is ' to be turned forever aside."

Lord Northoliffe. lngs mount up to a high figure every week. Many millions of dollurs have been poured into the coffers of the British lied Cross society, find It is still 'asking for more.' One of my newspapers, the London Times, has raised money for it at the rate of $4G 000 a day ovor a long period. Altogeth er readers of the Times have so fur' contributed more '.titan $35,000,000 to the Ited Cross fund. Yet there has never boon more tlmn enough to pro vide for the dny-by-clny needs of the society's splendid activity, "No one can fully appreciate the enormous value of this activity to the soldiers In the field who has not ac tually seen It Whut happens to a wounded man when he Is too badly hurt to walk is something like this. He la put on a stretcher and carried a short way to the rear. In the third line of trenches (each position consist ing of three lines, one behind the oth er) there is n deep 'dug-out.' I will give you a short account of what I saw In one of these underground hos pitals, or rather dressing stations, on a heavy sultry afternoon not far from the town of Peronne in France, around which there was fos such a long time hard and costly fighting." 'There was no sign of anything In the nature of a hospital, a tent, or of anything above ground. I was getting somewhat weary of being told to lie down flat every few seconds to avoid bursting shells, when I saw a couple of stretcher-bearers coming through the haze as from nowhere and then disappear un derground. 'It Is underneath there, 1 was told by my guide, whose dally duty It was to inspect these medical outposts. Blocked With Wounded. "As quickly as possible we got. down into a trench, following the stretcher bearers. There, in darkness Ut by a few candles, we gradually made out a very grim scene. Talklag was-dlfi flcult, for one of our batteries had Just come into action a few yards away. "Owing to the heavy enemy shell fire, wbnt I soon found to be an under- people: Think, all of you who have sons, husbands, brothers, either In the ranks alreudy or liable to be called for service, think of the soldier hit by a bullet or torn by shrapnel, shattered by bomb, mangled by high explosive, or poisoned by the fumes of horrible gas. To be picked up promptly and to receive careful treatment means life. To be left lying a long time on the battlefield means, If not death, permanent mutilation and disablement Which Is it to be? That depends upon you. Help to Bring Victory. "But that Is not all I would say to the American people. I would say also this: Bear In mind continually, remind yourselves night and morning, that when you subscribe to the Red Cross, you are doing your little, bit toward the victory of your troops, and when you help to bring victory within sight, you are helping to make your home safe, whatever part of the coun try you live in,1 helping to assert and to justify the claim of the American people to live as they choose to live, not as someone else wishes them to live, ;:' "The war mny Beera a long way off from your home. You may find it .difficult 'to Imagine any interference by outsiders with the way of life to Which you are uccUstomed. But think of Belgium, think of Serbia, think of Koumaula. Think of the north of France and Poland and the western provinces of Itussla. There the peo ple have to live as Prussia orders them to live. They cannot carry on their businesses. They are not al lowed to go out and come In as they please. They are liable at any mo ment to be carried off into Germany and put to exhausting hard labor. Think of the people of Alsace and Lorraine before the war. They were not utile to live as they wished to live. Think of the Danes in Schleswlg Uolstela who have been obliged to struggle against Prusslanizatlon with painful effort for fifty years. Think of the inhabitants of German Poland, refused the right to have their chil dren taught in their own language, deprived of their land, forced to sub mit to being Germanized In Very harsh and abominable ways, Would Control the World. "Germany's aim is to control the world. This aim has been avowed over and over again by German writ ers and speakers. It was made popu lar, It was taught in schools. No con sideration of honor or justice or hu manity was to be allowed to interfere with It Maximilian Harden, editor of the German weekly paper called, 'The Future,' Is a man who shouts with the crowd. Now he Is for peace. Now he attacks the kaiser and Junker dom for failing to keep their promises of victory. But, when the German people believed In those promises, when they thought it possible that their claim to world-domination might be made good. Harden told them. The whole question is one of force.' Who ever had strength should use It If we want to secure the position la the world which is our due, we must trust to our sword,' wrote General Ton Bern hardt, whose books were distributed in enormous numbers throughout Ger many. Bismarck had taught the same hideous doctrine, 'Not by speeches and. resolutions, of majorities are the mighty problems of the age to be solved, but only by blood and Iron.'
