The Ameriean Ked Coss has doue a wonderful amount of good since the outbreak of the European war. and while the deeds performed by its individual members may be emblazoned on the pages of history they will not escape the notice of the recording angel, which, after all, is the highest distinction for deeds done in the flesh. It is certain that the United States, .owing to the present state of uncertainty regarding the future, is going to expend hundreds of millions of dollars on uatioual defense, de-fense, which is right and proper under the circumstances. At the same time the country is rich enough to endow the American National Ked Cross with the $100,000,000 needed to extend its sphere of usefulness and place it upon a permanent per-manent basis. We have the faith to believe that the money will be subscribed.
