Did you hear that brave Belgian
Red Cioss nurse, Mario Van Gastcl,

out dwelling upon ghastly details she

ash of falling buildings, the shriek
if flying sharpnel? Made you sec tho
terror-stricken lefugos? Made you
ffi-1 bur bitter sonow? Not much
more than a girl in years, possessing
.knowledge of English just sufficient
I to make herself clearly understood,
1 -ho swayed her audience from tears
to laughter, from pity to lescntment,
'1'iom terror to indignation, at will.
Think this over and lenlizo that you
awand heard one of tho wonderful
women of tho war.

when they secure it.
That is why our customers ore so ready to rec

neighbors over there. U'u you, dear
people, thought to think lint it might

a little vain would not havo mattered.
Those soldier boys -our sons, our
friends, our neighbor?, and above all
our defenders are coolly facing n
