Cross. The Red Cross is an international society
which was formed to give help to the wounded in
war-time, irrespective of friend or foe.

"The purpose of the New York Ambulance Red Cross
Equipment Society is to assist the Red Cross
during this war between America and Spain by
providing ambulances and ambulance launches for
moving sick or wounded soldiers to field hospitals
or hospital ships.

"All contributions to the First Dearborn-Morgan

President or to the Treasurer.

"It is earnestly hoped that all boys and girls
will assist in this national work."

"The General's Double," by Captain King, and "Trooper Ross and Signal
Butte," by the same author, come to us from the press of J. B.
Lippincott Company. The former is a capital story of the Civil War, the
plot being based upon the remarkable likeness existing between two men
in the Union army. It has all of the charm of the works of this favorite
author.
