BANDAGING A WOUNDED DOG 



In Flanders they still "Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of war.'' But the dogs follow 

 after the havoc and are not party to it. With a heroism that makes them akin to their mas- 

 ters, these gallant animals carry succor to the helpless and the dying who lie in no-man's land 

 between the trenches. Heartless indeed must be the sharpshooter who can make a target of 

 one of these dumb messengers of mercv. 



I suppose that when this war comes to 

 be written as an epic — and it will some 

 day be written as an epic of the folly of 

 mankind — the tragic figures in it that 

 will persist in the imagination and mem- 

 ory of mankind forever will be countries 

 like Belgium and Roumania and Poland. 



America's duty ! We are separated 

 from the actual scene of this conflict by 

 thousands of miles of sea. Our losses in 

 it have as yet been minor. We are enter-

 pose of ending it in a victory for right, 

 and we have not the slightest intention of 

 stopping until that victory is achieved ! 



Mad as the world seems to be, some 

 day there will be reestablished on this 

 stricken planet a peace which will be just 

 and wise and permanent — just in propor- 

 tion as America pours out her spiritual 

 resources in the waging of the war from 

 now on and is heard at the conference 

 table to challenge the attention of man- 



kind to the beauty of righteousness 

 among nations ! 



But in the meantime, as the armies 

 which are being called are trained and 

 are led to battle, all along the national 

 wayside of every nation in the world still 

 crouch the terrified and trampled figures 

 of the children of mankind — disowned, 

 starving, and dying. 



HORRORS THAT MAKE THE STOUTEST 

 HEARTS OUAIE 



There is no limit to it, and I shall not 

 undertake to harrow your feelings — in 

 fact, I am not certain that I could com- 

 mand myself to repeat intimate letters 

 which I have seen within the last day or 

 two about Roumania. 



But the call is limitless and it is going 

 to be made known to the hearts of the 

 people of the United States, and we are 

 going to endeavor to respond to this cry 

 of distress. The President has ur^ed
