THE RED CROSS IS CALLING

The Red Cross is calling. 1t is calling for aid for little
Belgian children whose fathers died defending the honor
and faith Of their country and making their bodies bull
wark against the autocracy that would have ensaved the
world and we of America with it. 1t is calling for aid
for little French children too, whose fathers lives were
laid willingly on the altar Of Liberty that the world might
still be free 1t is calling for aid for those whose world
was shut out by German shells and who must live in dark
ness so long life lasts 1t is calling for aid for the help
less and the suffering Serbans who sacrificed all but
honor against PIussan autocracy. 1t is calling for aid
for those who fall wounded at the front and to whom the
ambulance with its flaming of red means hope and
help and perhaps life 1t is calling for aid for our own
boys who but few days ago marched away so bravey
with colors flying but who will soon be offering their lives
in the cause Of liberty in the trenches of France Imagine
if YOU can how much money Salem would pour out if
half the boys Of company were lying wounded and help
less in the storm and cod to have them brought to safety
and to where their wounds could be dressed and then
cared for by tender hands Some Of these boys will need
just this help and thousands of Others not from Salem
but our boys just the same, must depend on the Red
Cross for aid when helpless upon the battlefeds of
France Just bear this in mind when you asked to-
join the Red Cross and refuse--if you can.
