Our soldierB and sailors are engaged in the same battle against modern development of ancient bar bary which has so greatly increas- ea Red Cross activities.
 Conquer that justice may pre- vail' is the watchword today. This means coordinate effort on the part of the American people.
 Now therefore, I, J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the Territory of Alaska do most earnestly urge all the people of Alaska to lend their aid and support to the Red Cross campaign by enrolling as members and by making as liberal contribu- tions as individual means will per nit, remembering that, while our young men are offering their lives ra their country, a solemn duty E'ests upon the people of America to make any sacrifice that may be necessary in the cause of humanity and freedom.
