New Britain herald., 1917-02-10

throughout the state of Connecticut: Chapter Regents and Members: l The President of the United States has severed diplomatic relations with Germany. Our country stands for 1 democracy and liberty, for law, order and the principles of humanity, for 1 which our forefathers fought and our 1 foremothers worked and prayed. If l we are called to the supreme sacrifices | of war in their defense, the Connecti- 1 cut Daughters of the American Revo- 1 lution will be found in the forefront of service for Home and Country" It would be a slur upon their pa 1 triotism to imagine otherwise. Home preparedness is the solemn duty of the l hour.
 Every Chapter, therefore, in the state should be a center of activity in the promotion of preparedness, taking up that form of effort best suited to it's opportunities. .. I therefore urge each Chapter to re- double it's efforts to increase the mem bership' of the American Red Cross, sending many names as possible to our State Chairman, Mrs c. l.. F. Robinson, 1161 Prospect avenue, Hartford.
 I earnestly recommendSein addition that each Chapter Regent appoint a Red Cross committee in her Chapter through which it may cooperate with the American Red Cross in response to the appeal just issued from Red Cross headquarters in Washington.
 Donations of money should be sent to our State Treasurer, Miss Jennie Loomis, Windsor, to be by her for warded to the American Red Cross.
 The spirit of '76 bids us rally one and all, regardless Of creed or party, to the support of the President, gladly and loyalty upholding him in his stand for the honor of the nation, for the just defense of it's citizens in the peaceful exercise of their rights and for the maintenance of humanity and civilization in the world
 Sincerely yours,.
