Red Cross Week

" ESTERDAf was day of demonstration
in behalf of the Red Cross and Of spon-
taneous and generous giving; to-day begins
the practical working period Of Red Cross
week, in accordance with the spirit of the
Presidents proclamation. Yesterdays de-
monstrations, and liberal gifts. though they
were fine and inspiring, were but prepara-
tory to the solemn work to be done this
week. For solemn it is, as solemn as any
national duty connected with our participa-
ton in the war.
II it is possible to make broad classi6-
cation of the efforts required OF nation en-
gagged in modern warfare when each effort
must be co-ordinated with all the others
those this nation must make might be so
defined: fighting. farming and healing.
Within the first classification falls the duty
to which the nation already has responded
SO splendidly, that of supplying money; and
the maintenance Of industry mobilization of
transportation and extraordinary develop
ment of prod uction all come within the first
two general branches
Fighting will be pressed vigorously by the
government, which, supported by united
people, has embarked on a vast program
OF activity, on sea, on land and in the
air. Farming has become a patriotic DUTY
which, however, will be rewarded by profit
in certain measure for producers of food
products. There remains then, only healing
But that covers multitude Of duties so
great multitude. indeed. that our success
is largely dependent on how they are per-
formed
And as those duties are assigned to, and
assumed by, the Red Cross it may we'll be
said that our part in the war for world free
dom will be determined, to a great extent
by the effectiveness OF Red Cross work
Apart from the fact that suffering humanity
in France and Belgium and in other coun-
tries crushed by the Hun is crying for help,
apart from our duty as a strong and rich
people to give aid to the downtrodden. we
are confronted by the certain knowledge that
our own young men soon will need all that
science and skill and care can give them
or-they will die.
Except for the few individuals connected
with various fighting units the Red Cross
is expected, will be compelled, to supply the
science, the skill and the care. Here at
home, millions of us will remain in safety
and in comfort; over there, thousands, and
perhaps hundreds Of thousands will wrthe
in agony. Here at home, we shall be sub
ject only to the ordinary ills Of the flesh
over there, Shot and shell, grenades and
gases and all the other inventions of MUIR
derous ingenuity will menace them by day
and by night Over there men will suffer
such pain as We have never pictured and
they will look to us at home for relief
Their only hope for the relief we owe
them is through the Red Cross, the nations
great agent OF healing. Unless we here at
home give freely, glad OF the opportunity,
those mon who fight our battles as well as
their own will die under the torture Unless
we here at home give full strength to the
Red Cross, we shall rob our armies of about
half their power. Red Cross Week is Amer
