TWO OBJECTS ARE SOUGHT
IN FRENCH RELIEF WORK

The American Red Cross assumes
that the work done by the organiza-
ton with the French must fill funda-
mentally two requirements:
First-That all activities contribute
to the successful conduct of the war.
Second-That they relieve suffering
caused by the war.
Work done with the civil population
may have a more important bearing
on the military situation even than
work done with the forces, for men in
the field will be able to carry ont their
work better with the knowledge that
those left at home are being taken
care of.
If the American people can ge; a
real picture of the misery among hose
who have been and are being daily
driven out of their homes and dumped
in poverty upon other parts of the
country, ofentimes Ill or mutilated
they will gladly do all in their power
to help.

Cross Christmas membership drive for
100000 additional members in the
Southwestern division, comprising the
states of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas, which Will De
launched Monday, Dec. II, continuing
until Christmas eve.
Johnston, who is applying the same
principles TO the formation OF 81
gantic organization for the Christmas
membership campaign as those that
won for him unprecedented success In
the banking world, predicts the five
states in his division will pass its al
otment by at least 100000 members.
Spurred by his own enthusiasm over
the wonderful work which the Ameri-
can Red Cross is accomplishing Tor
Uncle Sans fighting force, both NJ
home and abroad, Johnston's co-work-
ers are bending every energy to insure
a successful opening OF the big drive
the morning of Monday, Dec. II. 1t is
expected $4,000 persons will be enlist
ed in the solicitation OF members when
the campaign is formally launched.
IF you don't belong TO the Red
Cross you help prolong the suffering
of our soldiers over there. This Is
the cardinal idea that Johnston hopes
to have brought home forcibly TO every
household in the Southwest between
now and Christmas eve, when Red
Cross workers and their latest con-
yerts, in many communities. will chant
carols in the streets as a fitting climax
to the movement which will cover the
length and breadth of America.
over the top by one Million is the
slogan of the youngest metropolitan
bank president in the United States,
and the manner in which Johnston is
whipping into shape preliminaries OF
the campaign augurs well for its sue
cess.
Born in Louisville. KY. in 1886.
Johnston received his first banking
experience, when be was Is years old.
by working as clerk IN the bass-
Johnston Banking Company at Ash
land, Mo. He continued to work in
the bank during the summers until. In
1906, he was elected cashier and d.
rector, at which time he was still not
pf age.
In 1907 he went to Muskogee. Ok,
where he became vice-president OF the
First National Bank of that city. In
1910 Johnston left Muskogee and be-
came one of the organizers Of the
National Reserve Bank of Kansas
City, which he served as cashier and
director for five years. In February,
1915. he went to ST. Louis as vice
president and director Of the Ger
man Savings Institution of that city.
Oct. 2s, last year, he was elected pres
ident OF that institution. which has
shown largely increased surplus and
deposits under his direction.
Any man of ordinary ability can sue
coed if he sets his mind hard to II.
This is Johnston's rple for success.
