‘‘The American Red Cross has op
sned the eyes of the people of Siberia
Russians, and the Czecho-Slovaks also
have left our hospitals restored t<
Health, sobbing like babies because o
Lheir gratitude. I have been told per
tonally by them that never in thei
iives had they been treated with sucl
kindness; that during their days
under treatment their way of thinking
had been changed, that they believed
Russia is worth saving, and the world
changing for the better. Russians
have told me that their children in
the refugee camps, smiling again after
many weeks of unspeakable hardships,
had been taught the true meaning of
the word 'democracy' as it was demon
strated by the representatives of the
1 American Red Cross.”

One of the homelike trenches about
the American Red Cross Club for en
listed men at Treves, Germany, is the
* “shoe-shining parlor” that occupies
' the stand near the door. Someone of
* the A. E. F. Is always in the chair with
his generous footwear firmly planted
on the pedestals, while a German ex
’ soldier still wearing his red-banded
• cap and his faded army coat, plies the
• brushes. The doughboy sits above
’ him like a lord, a copy of the morning
- paper in his hand and an American
' cigar in his mouth. When the shoes
have reached a stage of mirror-bright
1 ness, Lord Doughboy, ql Paris and
Podunk, steps down from the chair in
his most blase manner, and reaching
in his khaki pocket, draws forth a
fifty-pfennig note and places it with
out comment in the hand of his ex
enemy, the bootblack.
“Them ‘boches’ musta made good
strikers. Looka that f’r a shine,
would ya?” he says to a companion.
The shoe-shining stand was a Red
Cross innovation and the discharged
German infantryman was not loath
to accept the office of cleaning his
conqueror’s boots. They are very
few dull shoes about Treves now.
Having one’s shoes shined has almost
reachdfi the stage of a new form of
diversion. Fritz doesn’t mind either,
as long as the fifty-pfenning notes hold
out.
