The people McGlIl are exceedingly proud of the Drk that has been and la being accom-islied accom-islied by Its Red Cross organization, specially proud are they of the earnest iiTufiiificent aid rendered by the men uie district. Following is the comment by a member of the organization: The photograph accompanying this article mutely tells a great story of 'L-ovvn. The scene, which is laid in ;irner of the workrooms of McGfll I'liaiTer, is only one of the thousands of such that are being enacted in cvesy nook and cranny, hamlet, town and city throughout the length, and breadth of America, daily. , It is the demonstration of that same spirit of womanhood which in other days sent forth sons in the defense de-fense of right with the injunction to return "with your shield or iipon it." While shot and shell and lire and gas are opening the veins and every conceivable con-ceivable agency that could spring from the forehead of a superbarbar-ism superbarbar-ism is being employed to tear out the vitals of civilization ; while anxious eyes search the bulletin boards for heartening news from the battlefields and hopeful hearts await the turning of the tide, no more courageous scene may be witnessed and no truer gauge of the fine fabric of Americanism may be found than in the workrooms of the American Red Cross today. That spirit of unfaltering determination deter-mination and confidence called morale, . which is the greatest agent of victory known to man, broods there to strengthen every faltering and doubtful doubt-ful heart and lend it renewed energy to press on toward the one great objective ob-jective the ultimate unshackling of the world. Could the heart of kai- serism. which knows no law or power save that of might, realize the tremendous tre-mendous invisible urge and strength that will uphold American arms against superior masses or physical physi-cal numbers even when his mailed hand seems heaviest,' it must quake with the conscious hopelessness of its reckoning and its dream and shield its eyes against the day of retribution. retribu-tion. The keen, earnest manner in which the men of McGill are lending their aid to the support of the workers is a matter of extreme gratification. Indifferent In the beginning to the need of their personal endeavors In a province considered as belonging more especially to women, they have quickly quick-ly awakened to the realization that they also have a labor to perform. In no small way this feeling lias been given impetus by the strong portrayal por-trayal of the need and usefulness of the Red Cross and the direct call made by Governor Emmet D. Boyle, Monday Mon-day evening, in McGill workrooms, that men meet that need. Governor Boyle presented his audience audi-ence with a mass of statistics so startling as to be almost incredulous. His enlightenment of the subject was so earnestly and vividly a portrayal of facts as should have awakened from Its slumher of indifference every" lethargic soul who heard him.
