 The most important task before us to get the largest possible number of effective troops at the front at the earliest possible moment Second only in importance to this is to further the work of the Red Cross in providing for the care of those troops.

Let every man serve with his body if possible and if this is not possible at least let him do everything with his purse to help the soldiers at the front and all who suffer bodily iE because of the war"
