They have said that they gave to a similar
campaign a short time ago.
That earlier campaign was largely for
members of the Red Cross society. When
you became member your work was only
begun. Those who joined the Red Cross
in the first campaign were simply enlisted
in the service of their country in the Red
Gross division-they became soldiers in the
work of mercy and aid
Now comes their chance to show what
that membership means. To every one of
the 100000 members of the Red Cross in
Detroit, this campaign is a call to arms.
Every one of them should feel it privilege
and not sacrifice to be asked to help in
this great work of saving the sick and
wounded.
SO give all you can for war relief at home
and abroad on SIX months basis Your
subscription can be made in monthly install
ments.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1917-06-19

will all of us be lucky if we come out of the
war as well off as we went into it. So let us
sink all selfshness. Make your gifts to the
Red Cross for the good of your soul. Let
your heart and not your pocketbook die
tate the size of your contribution to the sue
cor of wars helpless ones.
This great United States has long enjoyed
the blessings of peace and of great pros
perity We are slow to realize the great
and grim task that is before us. But don't
make it necessary for some terrible disaster
of war to teach the people of Detroit the
enormity of the work we have undertaken.
Show the country and the enemy that YOU
are in this fight for Democracy to the finish.
Don't let your service to your flag be mere
lip service on regular patriotic days; but
prove by your gifts to the Red Cross that
the devotion of Americans to the Stars and
Stripes is devotion that stlrs our very hearts
and souls to the end that we shall willingly
give, not only our lives, but all that we pos
sess. Business as Usual we all hope for
throughout the war; and there is no reason
why we shouldn't have it. But 'DEMOC-
RACY AS USUAL" after the war is what
we are fighting for; and we must fight that
battle to a victorious finish no matter how
it affects business, no matter what happens
to our personal fortunes. So give your help
now when it is most urgently needed. Give
this week to the Red Cross, not as little as
possible, but as much as you possibly can.
The Detroit committee makes no apol-
ogies to anybody for urging his greatest
possible donation to the Red Cross in this
campaign. Each and every man in the
work considers it great privilege to serve
in the cause of suffering humanity. We are
not begging your hel p; we are COMMAND
ING it in the name of the sick and starving
women and children of all nations, in the
name of shattered and bleeding men on the
firing line, in the name of Him who gave
the creed of mercy to the Christian world.
GIVE NOW! For once in your life, dip
your pen in your hearts blood and not IN
your ink we'll, and make your subscription
to the Red Cross as much as you can with
out actually depriving yourself of the neces-
sites of life.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1917-06-19

and think what that means. When Con-
gress and the President declared war
against the Kaiser they were not express
ing the sentiment of few people-but of
the nation This is your wharf.-the war of
One Hundred Million loyal Americans
against autocracy.
And every American must do. his part.
For some the way of duty is to carry gun.
For most of us the duty of war is TO stay at
home and work and give to our soldiers
and sailors the support to assure a speedy
and certain victory.
The Red Cross this week offers the
people of Detroit their first chance to do
a great and unselhsh patriotic duty by the
country This campaign for Red Cross
funds is your GREATEST chance to begin
doing your part in this great war.
Some have asked why the Red Gross
campaign follows 50 closely on the Liberty
Loan campaign There are two reasons:
First, it is most logical that we should first
supply our army and navy with guns, NUM-
tons and supplies; and then give to them
that infinitely greater thing-comfort and
medical aid when they are wounded and
sick. Second, the war will not wait while
we stop to catch our breath after the Lib
erty Loan campaign The terrible slaugh-
ter, the devastating sickness, the horrible
starvation 90 on Just the same. And we
must keep pace. The more funds we raise
for munitions and the more men we send
TO the front, the more aid we must give the
wounded So the Red Cross cannot wait,
because the war will not wait
And don't think you have done your
whole duty because you have invested in
Liberty Bonds. Those bonds pay 3 l-2do
dividends in cash. They are the best and
safest investment you ever made In buy
ing them you GAVE nothing to your coun-
try. You were simply given the opportun-
ity by the government TO make the best
investment of your life.
NOW you are asked to GIVE.
The Red Cross offers you the most
blessed privilege that can come to any man,
woman or child - the privilege of giving
your help to the hel pless. You now have
the opportunity to prove your pure, unself-
1Sh PATRIOTISM. Ana IL you WISH, the Neu
Cross will be glad to accept your Liberty
Bonds as contributions to this noble cause
instead of cash. Give some of those bonds
you bought for an investment and earn, not
Just the 3 l-29t cash dividend, but a div-
dend of 10000 in the happiness and salts
faction that comes from the consciousness
of having done an absolutely unselfsh act
of patriotism.

In this campaign, Detroits honor is at
stake Detroit made a great and glorious
record before the whole country by greatly
over subscribing her Liberty Loan quota.
We must not be Inundated by appearing
less patriotic in the cause of mercy which
pays no tangible reward than we were
when our patriotism earned 3 l-29 divi-

what you have left. You must give to the
