Washington "Work or flight; work

tho slogan which America must rulopt
If America Is to win thu war, In tho
opinion of Senator CummlnH of Iowa,
who addressed tho sonato on hla reso
lution to provide for registration of
the man power of tho nation between
the ngoa of eighteen and forly-llvo

"Wo miiBt glvo to tho American peo

"Thuro must he no Idlo men. There
must he no men following hurtful or
useless occupations. Production or

pleasure of civic needs must he aban
doned until the ranks of the soldier
and tho producer of necessaries nre

cessfully meet tho sword which tho
insano sacrilege of tho german cm

roust bo obvious to every thoughtful
man that tho time hatj come for a

Destroy Forever Military Menace
"It is not enough to do more than
to drivo tho kaiser from power; it Is
rot enough merely to send his brood
of murderers into obscurity; it Is not
enough to take from his conspicuous
butchers tho weapons they are using
In tho deadly conflict. Wo must de
stroy forover tho military menace
cf that nation, and crush beyond res
urrection tho criminal designs and tho
cruel ambitions of the gorman peo
ple; designs and ambitions which
through fifty years of education and
training, havo resulted in a savage,
,trutal and remorseless society tho
Implacablo foo of Christian civiliza

DENT ON REIGN OF TERROR
Civilians Subjected to Dastardly Pun
ishment to Force Subjections
New York A german offensive of
torror against the civilian population
of Krnnco and Italy was described by
Henry I Davison on his return from
a 1,200-mile tour of inspection of Red
Crocs work abroad.
"Tho outstanding feature of german
methods ut tho present time," ho bald,
"Is tho effort to terrorize women, chil
dren and old men at home. While the
german troops are making their drive
on tho front .airplanes nro bombing,
nearly every night, towns behind tho
lines with the deliberate and declared
purpose of terrorizing civilians and
breaking down the morale of such a
point that they will importuno their
government for ponce. It Is the most
dastardly, unrighteous, cruel, devilish
plan which could be conceived.
"It Is based upon the theory that
tho killing of four children out of llvo
will Induce the mother to Implore her
government to have the war stopped
that her fifth child may lire. It is
carried on fiom the English channel
to the SwIfb border and from tho
Swiss border to tho Adriatic and has
resulted In the maiming of thousands
of women and children and the driv
ing of hundreds of thousands of terror
Btrleken from their homes.
"All of this Is accomplished by tho
most active possible propaganda, es
pecially in Italy."
Upholding Civilian Morale
Mr. Davison described the attempt
to uphold civilian morale up "one of
the great missions of the Hed Cross,"
adding: "You need havo no concern
for german propaganda where tho
Red Cross Is working. We havo work
in Italy and In France."
He regards tho bombing of Paris by
big guns as part of the offensive of
terror and says that the damage to
buildings is so sllfhr that one might
drivo about tho city a week without
noticing It.
In Prance relief Is being extended
In 121 cities and towns; In Italy in
forty-five cities and towns, with
branchos in 218 other places. Thero

chopping wood on the other side, and
said :
"Hoy, is that n safe slough to cross?"
"Oh, yes."
"Has It a good hard bottom?"
"Oh, yes," snltl the boy.
Tho man started to cross; his horso
mired, and lie hud to dismount and
