Inclusive. This total for the budget
Is extTisive of the large financial operations
of the .1.300 active Ketl Cross
Chapters, which. It Is estimated, will
Biore than double the total.
War Veterans Have First Call
First call on Ked Cross funds is for
he disabled ex-service men, of whom
27,487 were receiving treatment from
the Government on June 1 last. This
work for veterans and their families
In a wide variety of service that tlie
Government Is not authorized to render
and for which it has neither
funds nor facilities has the call on
$3,030,002.90 during the current year,
r about $300,000 more than was expended
last y?ar for soldier service.
Adding the funds disbursed in this
humanitarian work of physical recount
it fit ion following the World War "by
be Chapters throughout the country
will approximate a total for tlie current
year approaching $10,000,000.
This work, in the opinion of the Surgeon
General's oflice, will not reach
its peak before 1920.
.through its Chaptera the American
Bed Cross is equipped to tlnd ttie in
dividual ex-service man, help him in
his problems and difiieuliies, provide
Immediately for his necessities, and
open the way for him to ttie Government
compensation and aid to which
he is entitled. The extension of this
work to the futilities of such men
proves to them that tlie Red Cross
has lost none of Its sympathy nor will
to service manifested in wartime. Similarly
the service goes out to the men
till in the Army and Navy, 11,087 of
whom were under treatment in Government
hospitals on June 1, 1022.
Qreatar Domestic Program
This year?after five years of coo
tructlve effort during the war and
after the armistice?brings with it a
greater responsibility for domestic
ervlce to the American Ited Cross.
The budget for foreign operations,
however, totals $.8,404,000, but of this
amount $1,824,000 is for medical relief
and hospital supplies for Russia,
which is a i?rt of the gift made by
the American ited Cross in 1021 to
the Russian famine relief work of the
Amerlcun Relief Administration progiam.
The child health service In Kitrope
continues, moreover, and $G54,000
is appropriated for this work undertaken
tu 1920. Other items in the
trlngently diminished foreign pro
gram include $200,000 to support the
league of Rad Cross Societies, $22,000

course of the last long and bloody war.
Logan remained idle in hia camp, an
advocate for peace. Such was my love
for the whites that my countrymen
pointed as I passed and said. 'Logan 1*

"Colonel Cresap, the lust spring, In

sparing my women and children. There
runs not a drop of my blood In the

called on me for revenge. I have
sought It. I have killed many. I have
fully glutted my vengeance. For my
country I rejoice at the beams of
peace; but do not harbor a thought
that mine is the Joy of fear. Logan
never felt fear. He will not turn on
his heel to save his life. Who is there
to mourn for Logan? Not one!"

KING HENDR1CK TRADES AN

nlonlat superintendent, of Indian aflira.
At his baronial mansions In
estern New York, "the Hall" and

le Iroquois confederacy as equals and
was his Influence which made them
llles of the English Instead of the
reach during the Krc ich aud Indian
ar.
One of the chiefs who frequently
Islted Johnson Hall was a Mohawk
umed King Hendrick. One day Sir
William received from Mnglund some
chly-emhroldered <' hlng. King
endrlck was present \\ hen It was unncked
and the gaudy attire caught
le fancy of the red lnriii. The next
lornlng he approached Sir William.
Brother. I had a dream." he anminced.
"Indeed," replied Johnson,
vhat did my red brother dream?"
[ dreamed that you ga?e me one of
lose fine coats," snhl the Mohawk,
id Sir WUIiani, great I.\ amused, gave
ju the garment.
Some time later Jolmson visited
endrlck's camp. They smoked
while In silence. "lii'i ther, I hatl a
ream lust night," Anally stilted John>n.
"What did my pale-faced brother
ream?" asked the chief. "1 dreamed
lat this tract of lam', was mine"? i
id Sir William described a square I
f the richest land In ihe Mohuwk .
llley, containing nearly 100,000 acres. '
Hendrick was completely taken .
jack by the enormity of the request, I
nt he could not be outdone In gen- 1
oslty. After a moment he said:
Brother, the land Is yours." "But,"
s Haded earnestly, "you must not .
ream again!" By playing Indian on i
endrlck, Sir William had acquired
,nd which made him one of the ,
rgest landholders In the colonies. j
During the French ano Indian war
ihnson persuaded King Hendrick to
iln him in marching against an loading
force of 2,000 French under :
eneral Dioskau, who was coming '
om Canada. On September 8. 1755,
ley met the French at Lake George.
When Johnson decided to detach a
?rt of his force for a tlank attack he
iked King Hendrick If he thnmrht a
?rtaln number would be enough. "If
ley nre to fight, they are too few," I
'piled the chief. "If they are to be
llled, they are too many." Acting
pon this advice. Sir William kept his
roe together and attacked. A great j

Before the machines from Park
