Already replies are pouring in in
reply to the above message and an
intense protest against the change in

at Washington. This protest can be
made stronger and more effective

add their voice to the indignation
chorus arising.

PRESIDENT SETS WEEK FOR
RED CROSS GIVING

Washington, May 25.-Recogniz-
ing the faet that but a small pro-
portion Of Americans can have the
opportunity to serve on the battle
field, but that men, women and
children can do effective service by
aiding the Red Cross, President
Wilson today issued a proclamation
designating the week ending June
rs as Red Cross week. The procla-
nation in part follows:
"Inasmuch as our thoughts as a
nation are now the performance to
the utmost of the services and duties
which have assumed in the cause of
justice and liberty;
'Inasmuch as but q small proper
ton of our people can have the op-
portunity to serve upon the actual
field of battle, but all men, wo-
men and children alike may serve
and serve effectively by making it
possible to care properly for those
who do serve under arms at home
and abroad.
"And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross is the official recognized
agency for voluntary effort in be-
half Of the armed forces Of the ma
ton and for the administration of
relief.
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the Uni
ted States and president of the
American Red Cross, L. Woodrow
Wilson, do hereby proclaim the
week ending June Is, 1917, as Red
Cross week, during which the people
Of the United States will be called
upon to give generously and in =
spirit Of patriotic sacrifice for the
support and maintenance of this
work of national need.
