 The most stupendous and appeal ing call in the history of the world to aid suffering humanity confronts the Red Cross. The great drive to answer the outstretched hands of the suffering hordes of Europe commences today. For the days following the hundred million people of these Unit ed States will be given an opportu- nity to render succor to those who have bled that those principles >>of liberty which are the foundation stones of our constitution shall still exist. They will also be given an op- portunity to lend a helping hand to our own soldiers and sailors, who will soon be involved in this world con f1ict
