The Red Cros. Society

In an age charged with being self
ish, sordid and commercial there has
grown up and developed the great
est organization for unselfsh service
the world has ever seen-the Ameri-
can Red Cross. The growth of the
Red Cross Society is evidence not to
be controverted that the spirit of ser
vice Is strong IN the hearts Of the peo-
pie Of today. The work Of the So
ciety demonstrates that there are
thousands who are willing to devote
their services to humanity, and the
support given them by voluntary con-
tributions shows that there are hun
dreds of thousands more who are vii
ling to devote a portion OF their
means to the alienation Of suffering.
The activities Of the Red Cross al
ways has been generously supported
by the American public, but only
since "our own" soldiers began to
take a place IN the trenches along
side our allies has this support be-
come bOUntifuL It Is the suffering
and comfort of the men from "our
own neighborhoods" as well as the
physical needs Of our allies for which
the Red Cross must now mobilize.
The result greater and more i'm

The People Have Answered

The American people have made
their second answer to their country's
call. The first answer was made on
June 5, when S10,00O,000 American
citizens between the ages of 21 and
80 yea IS registered themselves for
national service. This answer, though
required by law, was made with a
spirit and willingness that robbed the
registration of any faint of compul-
sion or servitude.
The second answer from the people
was registered finally on June Is, and
the answer completed that day was
100000 American citizen voluntar-
lily subscribed their money to support
the United States in the war. This
they did, not Historically, not in a
spirit of war, fever, but calmly and
in the exercise of judment and rea-
son.
1t is true that the subscribers of the
Liberty Loan of 1917 get full value
received for their contribution, but
the immense number of small bonds
bought shows that it was not wealthy
ones of the Nation that supported the
Liberty Loan. 1t shows that it was
not the investing public of America,
alone that bought the bonds. 1t
shows that the American people sub
scribed the loan, and that, while
many wealthy citizens invested mil
lions IN the bonds, great many more
American citizens of small means
fastened to do their part.
More than this, the list of subscri-
bers show that many citizens of very
small means, perhaps with no capital
purchase a Liberty Loan Bond and
willing to stint themselves IN order to
have a share in the financial support
and no great earning capacity, were
of their country in time of war
The result of the Liberty Loan
Bond sale is an inspiration to every
American. 1t has proved the patriot
ism of the body polite. 1t has shown
that behind the fighting men of the Ma
ton is the money of the people; that
behind the man power of the Nation
stand the unreasonable finances and
material resources of America
The Liberty Loan of 1917 is a new
tie between the Government and the
people of the United States. Every
holder of a Liberty Loan Bond feels
more of an American citizen, and
along with a sense of duty done and
service performed feels and individ-
ual pecuniary interest IN the Govern
ment. Each has a certificate of citi-
Zenship and something that might
be compared to a share Of stock in
the American Government.
Germany has been answered and
the reply Is entirely satisfactory to
all who love America There IS no
mistakings its volume or tone. It
reaches across the seas and no cen
sorship can rob it of its significance
and strength.

The Patriotism of the American
Press

The service rendered to the Gov
eminent of the United States in the
sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds of
1917 by the press of the country is
record evidence Of the generous pa
triotism of the newspaper men of
America. 1t is recorded IN the pages
of thousands of American newspapers
many of them printed In foreign Ian
guages, from the largest daily to the
smallest country weekly. The news
papers of the country came across"
with liberal donations of space in
news, editorial and advertising col
umns.
Newspaper men have observed with
deep and peculiar pleasure the whole
hearted activity of the men of their
fraternity In the country In promot-
ing the sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds The influence and assistance
of all publications In making the loan
a success are simply incalcuable.
Their efforts greatly contributed to
making it double success IN that It
was not only largely Oversubscribed
but the Liberty Loan Bonds were
placed in every community of the
United States, IN cities and in remote
country districts, in mining towns
and manufacturing -centers, among
farmers and country merchants as
well as city bankers and large com
mercial and manufacturing houses.
1t was a great educational Gam

ers IN America.
No appeal to the generosity of
the American people has ever been IN
answered Let one part OF the world
be visited by somes calamity ike the
Mount Pelee and Italian earthquake
or any greater or lesser calamity, and
the response from the Nations is i'm
mediate and generous to a degree. The
services of the American Red Cross
Society to both sides in the Boer War
and IN other wars was liberal and sac
rltcing- Fresher In our minds is the
work of the American unit has been
doing IN Europe IN the last three
years especially the relief given the
Belgium population.
To meet this new and greatly en-
larged demand-this demand that
has added force of patriotism and a
duty We owe our own soldiers there
has been a campaign to raise s1O--
100000 TO rthe Red Cross work. The
campaign has been conducted with q
vIgOr and earnestneSS that insured
success 1t was participated IN by
President of the Nation down to the
all classes of Americans from the
smallest boy scout, and the women of
the Nation were particularly active.
Red Cross Week" viii not be the
only time IN which one can assist the
work of the society. Every week
should be a Red Cross week with
those who are able. to contribute to
the work of this greater agency of
mercy Its work is pressing and will
not appeal IN vain to a people as
generous as the American Nation.

Educational Value of the Liberty
Loan Campaipn

educational value or the Liberty
Loan Campaign
In addition to the main result, that
of selling the two billion dollar bond
issue and the equally important re-
suit of placing the bonds in every sec
ton of the country and among all
classes Of Americans, the campaign
for the sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds has had a great educational
value
The people of the United States
are much better informed now of their
Government finances and methods
of finance than ever before. Hun
dreds of thousands of people whose
idea of Government bonds was vague
and indefinite are now not only pos
SCISSORS of Liberty Loan Bonds, but
know what a Government bond is and
the peculiar worth and value of such
securities.
They have been informed of what
other Governments have done IN the
way of bond issues, of the wealth of
this country compared with its ma
tiOnal debt, and the wealth of other
nations as compared with their ma
tional debts.
The campaign has opened and de-
velOped a vast market for future
bond issues of the United States and
has opened up to the American peo-
pie and made them acquainted with
a field of investment they knew little
of before. 1t has given them invest
ments for their savings the equal of
which they never had before
The newspapers and the banks of
the country were great instructors
in this campaign. Scarcely a citizen
of any town and scarcely a newspaper
reader of any sort in the United
States but has had the opportunity
thrust upon him during the campaign
of informing himself regarding the
Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 in par
itcular, and the United States Gov
eminent bonds in general, and the
nature and terms of such securities
and the resources and means back of
them.
It is believed that this will work
well for the greatness of the Nation
and will result in greater commun-
ity of interest among the American
people, at large. A new and great
source of individual interest in the
Government has been crceated allo
the country. The Government is
closer to the people and the people
have an additional common interest
with each other and with the Nation
as a result of this Liberty Loan bond
sale

PLEASANT VALLEY BAPTIST
CHURCH RALLY.

On Sunday of last week the Pleas
ant Valley Baptist Church pulled off
a successful rally. 1t was the annual
church rally that has been held dur
ing the pastorate of the Rev. VIM.
Wilson, who is now entering his
fifth year. Quite large membership
was present, and nearly $4,000 were
realized out of the effort. The Board
of officers, consisting of Hery Poyn-
ter, Elijah Douglass, H. Covington,
Joe Scruggs, and Henry Handay
worked earnestly to make the rally a
success. They were assisted by prac-
tically the entire membership, which
numbers about 267, but they were
all inspired to do greater work under
the leadership of DR.. Wilson, who,
ever since he has been pastor, has
given his untiring service.
Pleasant Valley Church is located
at the corner of Edgehill Street and
10th Avenue South. They have only
recently put in a new set of seats and
pulpit furniture which has greatly
encouraged the membership. Plans
are already on foot now to pull off
several entertainments for the bene-
fit of some of the departments of the
church.
