w Summoned to Canada to fight for Great Britain
A. W. Scott of Phoenix made up his mind at once
10 60 He was OF considerable affairs, mining man
who has been operating in Pina county He expected to be
mustered into of the engineer regiments Of the empire
for he had had charge of the construction of than 1909
miles OF telephone line for the American Telephone and
Telegraph company as well great deal of experience
underground work So he placed his business in proper
condition to leave and set about dposng of his personal
property realizing that he stood fair chance of leaV
ing France, once having entered the battle
his big automobile to the front of the Hotel
Adams parked and pacarded the conveyance follows
"This automobile Will be sold to the highest cash bidder
at o'clock H. the entire proceeds to be donated to the
Phoenix chapter Of the American Red Cross See clerk IN
Hotel Adams for details. A. W. Scott"
At o'clock the car sold and five minutes later a
check the hands Of the treasurer of the Phoenix Red
Cross chapter
Thus an alien did his 'bit" for the Red Cross. What
are you going to do?
This is Red Cross week in which will be decided whether
the Red Cross society shall receive the large fund which
It lave alleviate suffering of soldiers and
batans in the area whether it shall be paazed by
lack of funds.
The president and former presidents of United States
influential In the Red Cross but the Red Cross is not
ment funds The Red Cross IS international IN its work
Its benevoenc is extended hepfuy to American SOL
ders and sailors but is limited to them 1t aims to
eve suffering wherever misery may be encountered There
fore cannot be financed by and for the government
the Red Cross work is to be effective, your dollars
must help make it Mere good will IS insufficient Cash
counts 1t takes money to fill ships with medical and
gcal supplies equip hospital units and care for nursing
stats.
United States had attended to all this that had
of bandages and BEDS sretchers and blankets and
other material thousands of ready the front
and all the other personnel and equipment which enter into
war relief work
It has not except that the regular army and national
guard have medical officers and hospital and ambulance
companies far insufficient for requirements The great
work is volunteer work and the money for personnel and
materials must also from volunteers.
Contributions to the aid of the Red Cross carry member
ship with them This makes each donor personal factor
the of relief, inspiring thought to contemplate
But the United States sadly deficient in its membership
the American Red Cross II is equally deficient in the
support Americans give that organization The Japanese
have had not long ago. Red Cross members to
and s1ooo0ooo in gold for Red Cross work to
100000.
That last sentence should be spur to enrolment In the
Red Cross work and to than ordinarily liberal
trbutions the Red Cross fund but should
be needed. This is which makes unprecedented de-
mands life materials and effort Fighting, everything
connected with it. Is conducted grand scale There
Of thousands Of wounded and sick be cared
The work of the Red Cross be conducted scale
before dreamed Of The service humanitarian and
the need is imperative.
Join the Red Cross today and make your check larger
than you thought you could. Your every dollar is life
saver if It goes into the Red Cross fund.
