Major Murphy, Who Had Charge
of Relief Work Abroad, Describes
Seven Months' Achievements.
By MAJ. GRAYSON M. P. MURPHY. (Retiring Red Cross Commissioner to Europe, who was in charge of \^ar relief operations abroad for seven montha Major Murphy soon will re¬ turn to France to Join Qeneral Persh¬ ing's staff In a purely military capa¬ city.)
' This Is a war not of armlrs. It la a war of nations. There Is not a mnn or woman or child In (Jreat Britain, lo Beldam, In Frnnce or In Italy that Is not a factor In this war. It Is not the armies of Frnnce thnt are the csson- tlal thing to France In this war, nor the armies of England, nor the armies of the other allies.
Tbose arinltw will do their part nnd do tt to a finish If they nre supported by the people behind. The grent cry-
'iDg need In Europe today la to build op the spirit and keep up the spirit of the people behind the lines. It Is that great work which the Ked Cross— thanlu not to those on the other side, but to the people on this side—has I>erf«jnBed. It Is this work thnt has made the Amerlcau lied Cross the lar- (eet known single factor since our entry Into the war.
The American lied Cross, beginning Its operations in France, went into a country that was stripped by three years of war. There is very little Uiat can be bought on the other side in the way of supplies and material. There la very little that can be had In the
.way of human power. The Red Cross had to Import practically all the labor Deeded In its undertaking. It had also
' to set together supplies from places other than in Europe Itself.
The Red Cross on arriving in France Started immediately the construction of a great system of transportation and warehouses. This system is very complicated. Ttie government had oc-
iCupled practically ail the points de- atrable for warehouse sites. "Warehouses Crammed With Stuff." But the Red Cross has a system of warehouses, beginning at eight of the principal ports in France. In Paris it has great base yrareliouses. All along the front, particularly in Belgium, all
' tbe way down to and along the French line, along that down to Italy and. along the Italian line, at the seaports and along railway routes the' lied Cross bus warehouses, crammed jvltli stuff at points where it cau get hold of It when trouble comes.
To supplement this warehouse sys¬ tem, it 1ms about 500 ambulances nnd motor trucks concentrated in Paris and others distributed at various points so thnt In case of an emergency the Red Cross can use them to get ijulck action anywhere aleng the front. The Department of Civil Affairs Is working among the children of Fraiu-e. It hopes, in co-operation with the French government, to be able to re duce, in due course, tho number o( deaths of young Infants in Frnnce from 80,000 a year to 40,000' a year.
These little tots nre brought buck from the districts where they are un¬ der gas flre. They are too small to wear a gas mask nnd consequently they would be killed. From Toule ambulances move around In the coun¬ try. There are clinics where our doc- Itors and nurses care for the sick, par¬ ticularly children, who cannot other-
¦ wise get treatment because all the doc¬ tors have been called into the service. Fighting Tuberculosis. In conjunction with the Rockefeller
'Foundation it is conducting a work against tuberculosis, which Is certulu-
:iy unparalleled iu the history of the world. France haa suITered greatly
itrom tuberculosis ad a result of the
j people living in uuwholesonie dugouts.
i Tuberculosis bas developed la the
I trenches too. /
Working with the Rockefeller Foun
IdatloD, the Red Cross has put into ef-
•fect a system of education in France,
1 • system to care for bad cases in sunt
itorlums and a system which will lead
ito the establlshmeut of 300 dispeusa-
• ries throughout France, with visiting
i nurses attached.
In tbe military division the RchI Cross is carrying on an extraordinary work with the French, with the Bel- glaa.-. with the Italians and, to a cer tain minor extent, with the British, and with our own people. It has a system of canteens. It has rolling
: canteens which are operating right up In the trenches, where the soldiers ure
f Mly9U hot drinks. In l^ecember 225,- 000 soldiers were served but drinks
: In this way. Red Cross men worked onder shell flre all the time. When
' ths gas comes over them tbey wear |[as maska They are great pals wltb the soldiers.
In conjunction with tho French goT- ^mment the Red Cross Is feeding—not ylTlng drinks and sandwiches, but glv- IM hot meals—to 1,000,000 French sol- every uooth. These men sit and ^T* thstr dinners and talk aud maks la grsst rscr«atl«a halU.
THE TWO SWORDS
By Lewit F. Cjuv^nrA, Prri^Amt *ifat#» BnafJ ol Regento, North Dakota
("The Itymn of the Oerman Sword" appeared in a fiermnn paper published in lyelpalg. Oermany. and has been widely copied In papers of other countrlM. A copy which came to the nttentlnn of Lewis F. Crawford, Sentinel Bntte, N. I)., president of the state bonrrt of regents, Imprejwed him so strongly that he prepared "The American Sword," ss a contrast to the spirit shown in "The German Sword.")
HYMN OF THE GERMAN SWORO
It la no duty of mine to be either Ju.st or compassionate; it sofflcea that I am «anrtlfle<T by my exalted mission, and that I blind the eyes of my ene- mtes with such streams of fears bs shall make the proudest of them cring« in terror nnder the vault of henven.
I hnve slaughtered the old and the sorrowful; I hnve struck off the breasts of women; and I have run throuRh the bodies of children who gazed at me with th" eyes of the wounded lion.
Day after dny 1 ride aloft on the shadowy horses In the Valley of Cjrpresses nnd as I ride I draw forth the life blood of every enemy's son that dares to dispute my path.
It Is meet and right thnt I should cry aloud in my pride, for am I not the flaming messenger of the Lord Almighty?
C rmany is so fnr above and beyond all the other nations thnt all the rest « the earth, be they who fhey mny, should feel themselves well done by when they are allowed to flght with the dogs for the crumbs that fall from her table.
When Germany the divine is happy, then the rest of the world basks In smiles; but when Germany sufTers, (lod In person Is rent with anguish, and, wrathful and avenging, he turns all the waters Into rivers of blood.
THE AMERICAN SWORD
I am the American sword.
1 have never been unsheathed except In the cause of Justice and human¬ ity.
I punish only under solemn nnd compelling obligation.
In my presence national perfidy nnd dishonor never go unchnllenged.
I opened in generous trust to nil nntlons the portals of American oppor¬ tunity and gave equnl rights fo all in the inheritance created by the toil and blood of our ancestors.
In me everything thnt Is good finds approval, everything mean meets re¬ buke.
My people are enticed to lave me by the gentle persuasiveness of my life.
1 am the visual enchantment of the downtrodden and fho oppressed; the emblem of national honor; the embodiment of the world's hope.
In me is linked the command of duty with the love of Cnlvnry; it Is mine to trace the hidden equities of divine reward and connect national wrong-doing with its swift retribution; under me fulfillment adds splendor to the gorgeous Mosaic of our dreams.
0 kaiser! obsessed with power, drunk with passion, enemy of peace and right and freedom throughout the world, slayer of age and infancy, ravlsher of virginity, spreader of contagion, fiend Incarnate 1
Against thee barren fields cry out in protest; venerated works of art nnd architecture, hallowed by the centuries, thou has crumbled under shells of frenzy; thou art wasting the flower of the world's manhood in red ruin spurred on by the grim reaper of Hate.
Thou International brigand, enslaver and robber of Belgium, looter of Servia, betrayer of neutrals! thou art a pirate running mad on the pathless sweep of oceans, plundering nnd murdering on the world's highway.
Diplomatic intriguer, thou has faithlessly broken age-old treaties, thon has torpedoed hospital ships, bombarded defenseless cities and unleashed liquid flre and poison gas—outlaw demons of destruction. In this epilepsy of the world's horror thou art not bowed with a sense of unfathomable guilt nnd sodden shame; thou, the arch gutter-snipe of civilization, art more un¬ sparing than Torqueraada, more cruel than Nero, more atrocious than Cali¬ gula, more crafty than Qeronimo; thou hast loosed the hosts of ill upon a l>eaceful world and darkened the heavens with blasphemy.
Thou art chased by the maddening billows; the deeps in malice open to receive thee; ashen faces turned toward flame-lit skies, appeal for vengeance.
My presence gives courage to endure the appalling strain and omnipres¬ ent peril of battle. '..
1 bestow superhuman ner\'e, sleepless caution, capacity for sacrifice, and the Justice of my cause palsies the band of brutal might and Insensate ambi¬ tion.
I pity the victim, aot the violator; the sorrows I bring wear no weeds of mourning.
I open a new era in history; I fire the human soul with new daring and new hope; I will survive this conflict and pronounce its sentence.
When the name of kaiser shall have lost Its stanch and been covered with the dust of countless centuries, I shall still be glonfled as the mainstay of de- ¦aocrucy—the peacemaker of the world.
Bill and the Bank Piesident
Mates 00 tbe Good Ship of Thi3t
It was long after banking hours and only the assistant Janitor and the bank | president were "on the Job" In the 1 great Chlcngo banking Institution. The executive, having cleuned up the ' mass of busineas on his desk, lighted | a long, pencil-shaped clgnr and lolled back In his swivel chair. Bill, the red- j faced, good-natured member of tbe ; clean-up brigade, entered the oflice and headed for the waste basket. The bank president remembered that Bill i hud bought a $100 Liberty bond in the I second campaign. |
"Are you having any trouble in; meeting the payments on your Liberty j bond, Bin?" nsked the executive. i
"No trouble, sir," replied the jan- : Itor. "I've done a bit o' plannln' and | trlmmln', though, but it ain't given ma I any trouble. I'm better off for th' i plnnnln' and trlmmln'." i
"I imagine you have—well, a sort o' i better opinion of yourself for saving up and lending your money to th< , government," said the president.
"I'm sorry I ain't young enough to I be 'over there' with the boys," said Bill, "but since I ain't there and won't be there unless the army needs i men with rbeumatiz in one out o* I every three joints, I feel it necessary to do what I can do here at home. ' Oh, I know I ain't dolp' much—ain't doln' anything, in fuct, by lending my little money to the government aud l^ettin' good interest on it, but I am gettin* that little money together, thanks to the amaziu' way my wife trims here aud there and workln' th' left-over things into new dlshea."
"It's a fine tbluK to be a boudbold- er—a real partner in the great firm of Uucle Sum & Co.," said tbe presi- { dent. "One really has a better opiu> | ion uf himself when be feels that he \ Is lending a hand." j
"I'd like to bave ten o' them bonda," i said BiU, "but, of course, I ain't bitlu' j off more'n I can chew. But I'm go-\ tn' to be right tb«r« when tbe third ^ loan comes out. Thare's a real aport In cuttln' oot the tlitma—nnnicaasarjr
things. I haven't been over to th' 'corner' with th* gang for weeks. I used to feel that I didn't 'belong' un¬ less I drifted over there and spent at lenst a quarter every night. My old¬ est |lrl has got thnt war-savings stamp fever for fair, and she's coppin' all the extra quarters."
"You have bought a Liberty bond; your wife hns trimmed here and there in order that you might have the necessary money, nnd your daughter is buying the war-savings stamps," said the bank president. "Your little home. Bill, is doing its full duty, and you ought to bovthorougbly proud of it— including yourself."
"Oh, I ain't doln' as much as I'd like to do," said BUI, blushing at the com¬ pliment, "but I'm doin' about oil I can do, so I really ain't ashamed of my¬ self."
"I'm trimming, too, Bill," eald the bank president. "This cigar I'm smoking costs Just one-third as much as the one I've been in the hublt of smoking, and I'm not smoking as many cigars a day as I used to smoke. I've hnd my shoes resoled for the flrst time in 20 years. It used to be that every time I'd run my heel down a little I'd chuck the shoes aud buy a new pair. I'm going to wear this suit of clothes until it wears out, no mat¬ ter how glossy It becomes. I'm go¬ ing to—"
"Oh, but you don't huve to pinch that way," iaterrupted Bill a bit apolo¬ getically; "you cau afford to wear the best." '
"I know it," said the bank presi¬ dent, "but I'm going to be thrifty my¬ self. As you say, there's real sport In playing the game of thrift. The government can have all I've got I mean that. It bus been good to me and I'm going to try to show my ap¬ preciation. I'll be right there when the third loan is out."
"I'll be ridin' along witb yoo. sir," said BUI with a chuckle. ^
And now Biil and the bank president are mates un the good sliip Thrift.
How Men Laugh.
The far-seeing maa wtth a sense of humor laughs in hU ttiroat in spas- medic little bursts. He looks t>«foro he leaps. He takes s good survey of a questioa before coouulttlug hiuiself. Neltlier laughter uor speech escapes easily. He l«t» theiu out Jodidwusly.

About 40(),(K)0 of those swenters were bought In the Inst month. Sixty thousand helmets wore nlso pur¬ chased, mnny of which have not vet been delivered because •thoy are held up by the present Irntllc l)lo(ka<le.

At these stations. Including some miscellaneous giving and In nddltlon to J)0,000 Christmas pnrkets, the Red Cross has distributed ,52,.S78 swenters, 19,00!) helmets, .^2,489 Jtuufflers, 38,624 wristlets, 52,747 socks and 3,679 com¬ fort kits.
It has also given to the Nnvy 13,819 sweaters 7,744 helmets, 0,97.') muf¬ flers, 11,649 wristlets, 14,620 socks nnd 3,167 comfort kits. This makes a to¬ tal of articles distributed by the .\t- Inntlc Division last month 66,197 sweaters, 27,&53 helmets, 62,464 muf¬ flers, 50,273 wristlets, 07,367 socks and 6,846 comfort kits.
The Red Cross Field Director has come to be the main solution of the great problem of distribution for the American Red Cross. In every train¬ ing camp in the Atlantic Division there are Red Cross headquarters with a director and sometimes sever¬ al assistants. From here whole units of men are fitted out with complete sets of knitted gnrments, which are sent out by the Division" In response to hurry calls.
In the Inrger cnmps a supply of five or six thousnnd swenters Is kept on hnnd to meet emergencies. In the forts where there nre no Red Cross field directors the distribution of Red Cross supplier is made by the com¬ manding officer.
"It was enrly evident," snid .Tohn Mngee, Director of Mltllarr »tHrf tm the Division, "thnt to prevent wnsre nnd misuse of mnterlnl our distribu¬ tion must he mnde In a systemntic manner. We therefore ndopted the plnn of fitting out milta ns a whole. The commanding officer cnnvnsses ench compnny. He nllnws only one outfit to a man.

'There are, comparatively speaking, more Lu¬ therans in the .service thnn from any other Protestant Church. Like other churches, the lAitheran Church has made extensive plans to take care of her hoys. However, conditions have not been found to hip what one would call satisfactory, hence this effort to continue the teachings of the church to a better and u.setul efficiency, for which more funds are necessary. The < ntire Lutheran Church of the coun¬ try has united in this work. Every congregation, every irtdividual, every man, woman and child, is asked to do his bit. The memi)ers of .St. John's have already shown a generous spir¬ it, and will undoubtedly do their full share for this important work.

RED CROSS ASSIGNS
WAR WORK TO SCHOOLS.
Schools In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, which have been en¬ listed for war work in the Junior Membership and School Activities De¬ partment of the Red Cross, have been asked by the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross to make OCIXX) French and Belgian refugee garments.
Thla is the first definite task to be assigned to school children enrolled In the Red Cross Junior Department. It Is the result of an appeal from Red Cross representatives In France who cabled that thousands of home¬ less and helpless women and children there are in need of warm garments.
Work upon these garments has been allotted through the scliool commit¬ tees of Red Cross chapters. The or¬ der must be completed In three months, and chapters have been asked to report to the Junior Department on February 10 the portion of the al¬ lotment then completed.
