ALL RED CROSS
SOCIETIES ARE URGED
TO DO UTMOST

To Mrs. II. p. Savage, Rio Grande
Colo
Washington, May 10.-The presi-
dent today issued the following
statement:
Il have today created within the
Red Cross a War Council to which
will be entrusted the duty of res
ponding to the extraordinary de-
mands which the present war will
make upon the services of the Red
relief. The best way in which to i'm
part the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of a single expert
enced organization which has been
recognized by law and by interna-
tional convention as the public in
strumentality for such purpose. In
deed such a concentration of admin
istrative action in this matter seems
to be absolutely necessary and l
hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums
or small to the alleviation of the suf-
fering and distress which must in
evitably arise out of this fight for
humanity and democracy to contrib
ute to the Red Cross. 1t will be one
of the first and most necessary tasks
of the new War Council of the Red
Cross to raise great sums of money
for the support of the work to be
done and done upon great scale l
hope that the response to their
efforts will be a demonstration of the
generosity of America and the power
of genuine practical sympathy among
our people that will command the ad-
miration of the whole world"
In view of the above it is necessary
to modify the plan outlined in Cir
cular A 20 for the use of the War
Council. The National finance com
mittee appointed by President Will
son headed by Cleveland Dodge and
Seward Prosser of New York will
raise great Red Cross war fund
through our Chapters. Not a NOM
ent must be lost in preparing our
selves to meet the pressing calls
from Europe and the emergencies
which are soon to confront us here.
Every Chapter should at once mobil-
ize and reinforce its Finance Com
mittee for this work which is of the
utmost Importance and urgently call
Immediately a meeting of your ex-
ecutive committee to make far reach
ing plans for finance campaign as we
look to you confidently for large re-
suits.
