WORLD'S HEART ! In the Red Cross museum at .na- i lional headquarters is a soiled, worn j .purse. It contains a few hundred francs, less than forty dollars. The j ?haplain who sent it to the Red Cross | wrote: '"Orders had gone out for our men ! lo go over the top at the zero hour. Just before dawn one of the boys i put into my hands a purse and said, j Sir. it's all I got; if I don't came j back, give it to the Red Cross." He never came back." j If it were possible for the Red \ Cross to engrave one picture on the j hearts of the men and women of America it would be the picture of i hat boy giving his last dollar?all ? he hadjr~$> the Red Cross befor-_ he .vent ox&c' the top, never to come back. If it were possible to send :hem only one message, that little ??iory would be enough. That and the words of President Wilson when he i *aid: j "I tell you, my fellow citizens, that! he symbol of the R<h1 Cross has come j o mean more to the world than it ever meant before. Every time IJ look at it 1 feel like taking off my hat is if I had seen a symbol of the! world's heart." When we realize, the deeper sig lif.cance of/the Red Cross as-cxem . plified in those two instances, we -ealize that we are not fighting alone :o fulfill our obligations to our wound ed men and to the war-stricken lands >f Europe, that we are not working j .lone to better the social and health ?onditions of .our country; that these hings, highly important as they are, lo not represent the most vital issue xefpre the Red Cross today; but that .ve are working and fighting to keep j Uive the real heart and spirit of our i Nation as-?xpressed in. the American j fled Cross. It is the finest thing in ; our national life today,, and we, as! Americans, have been called upon to j ^reserve it. It is our duty, our re- j -ponsibility, our opportunity; if we j fail to keep it alive, there dies with it j one hope of the world; ^ Sumter Wins by a Close Score. ... : j _ In., a game of basketball that was j exciting from start to finish the! lmter Y. M .C. A. defeated the team, from Wilmington by the score of ;J0 to 28. The attendance was large and ; showed plenty .of enthusiasm, render-j ing good support to the home team. I The visiting team, which is composed j of a crowd of brothers and cousins, vas the fastest seen on the local floor j n sometime.' They started with a rush and did not weaken. The Game cocks were equal to the task when j scores counted, but were not as. fast j ?n their feet as the visiting team. .For! lie visitors the work of H. Register, j1 it forward, was the best, with the : Gerdes brothers close seconds. Reg-j ister secured live field goals and the.i: two Gerdes netted three each. The en- j tire team played excellent ball, as is .?ivdent by t^he close score. Heidt on the offensive and Burns; on the defensive were Sumter's best j bets. Heidt secured six field goals;' and five foul goals. Jacobus added j t field goals and Nash 3. Lcvi, play-j ing at guard, made one field goal. Some little dispute was engaged in it the end of the game to decide the ; .vinner. It seems that there were ? hre scorers, two of which gave the .ocals oO points to the visitors' 2*, while the third scorer declared the j result as 2S for each side. The ref-j eree acted, wisely in taking the score J ] of the two. / !! The game last night was very well j : supported by the fans. ^lust when the j '' next game will be is-not known.
