THE GREATEST LOSS

The loss of the ships is proba-
bly, less serious than the loss of
their cargoes ii they are carrying
food. for the production of yes
sells can be increased to almost
any amount. while there is only
one harvest a year for staple
food products. But the loss of
grain by the activities of sub
marines is not as great as we
have thought. In September the
percentage of big ships carrying
grain wheat to England was less
than three per cent. and in Octo-
Der it was not one third of that.
1t is impossible that such small
ratios of destruction should have
any substantial effect on the
war. As England has to import
the greater part Of her food, the
destruction OF even a small part
of the grain in transit is serious,
but it is an eXaggeration to speak
of it as a menace.

every state in the Union. Demands have SO increased that it has become necessary to increase this membership to 15,00O,000. Whether the war shall close in the near future or not, the demands for Red Cross will continue for years to come. It is, therefore, imperative that the locak auxiliaries, branches and chapters in every town and city In the State of Connecticut shall be re-enforced.
 with our army of a million men at the front, doubtless to be increased to two or three million, we shall need these local organizations to do relief work for these men. Connecticut is asked to enrolf 3O0,O00. That is not a large number for this state, and I confidently believe the total will! greatly exceed this number.
 Fifteen million Red Cross mem bers by Christmas Eve will mean 15,Q0O,0O0 men, women and children back of President Wilson and the Army and Navy. The campaign is to last one week, beginning December IT and closing, Christmas Eve. Member ship dues are $1 a year. Let the American Red Cross be your national santa Claus for the boys at the front.
