...piece in which great pains must be taken to avoid sentimentality; these Mr. Monteux took, at the expense, perhaps, of some of the beauty of the second movement.

Customary Government action is slower and less elastic than that of the Red Cross, and is more apt to be pauperizing in its tendency. The Red Cross methods are more sympathetic, confidential, and humane...
